Facing the Fiddler: The PS3 and Xbox 360 Route
For those of you rocking the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, you've got the smoothest path. This version of GH3 actually lets you download "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" as downloadable content (DLC). Just fire up your console, hit the marketplace, and for a few measly bucks, you'll be ready to duel the devil himself. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
But wait! A word of caution for our Xbox brethren: There have been rumors that the DLC might not be available for purchase anymore. Don't fret, a quick internet search (or a call to your friendly neighborhood game store) should clear things up.
The Wii Way: A Ballad of Boss Battles
Now, Wii players, things get a tad trickier. "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" isn't available as regular DLC. However, there's a silver lining (or should we say a brimstone lining?). The song actually appears in the game as part of the epic Boss Battle against Lou. So, if you want to shred this classic, you gotta conquer Lou first. Think of it as a baptism by fire (and maybe a little brimstone).
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
Pro Tip: Lou's a tough cookie, so practice those scales and hammer-ons, my friends!
The Forbidden Path: For the Truly Desperate (or Technically Savvy)
There are whispers on the internet (use with caution!) about modifying your console to play custom songs. This can be a tricky business, so we wouldn't recommend it unless you're comfortable tinkering with your system. Plus, modifications can potentially void your warranty, so proceed with caution.
We here at Not-Your-Mama's-Guitar-Hero-Guide advocate for safe and official means of rocking out. But hey, we ain't here to judge. Just be sure you know what you're getting into before you start down that path.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
