Guitar ‘N Karaoke Genius

Ever since I started playing Guitar Hero, I’ve kind of wished they’d show the song lyrics on the screen in addition to the guitar notes and chords. Sure, most of the folks playing the game like it because they can’t (or are too embarrassed) to sing, and Guitar Hero lets you get your jam on without having to open your mouth.

For a karaoke junkie like me, though, playing the GH guitar controller isn’t enough after a while when the songs become familiar.

I want to belt out Judas Priest’s You’ve Got Another Thing Coming at the same time, dang it.

It’s right in my range.

Until Harmonix puts out a crossovery Guitar Hero/Karaoke Revolution title, however, I may just have to create a set up like this game writer did for “I Love Rock And Roll”–two game consoles, two televisions, Guitar Hero, and Karaoke Revolution Party.

How To Rock Two Games At Once

For now, I’m just going to put Judas Priest on single song repeat on iTunes until I’ve got it down pat for Thursday’s first karaoke night at Gran Cru.
