Getting Started

(mention starter pack for 1.1.324 and 1.2.451 (as soon as it gets released))

First, download Frets on Fire.
If you get any errors during startup or playing, check the list of common error messages you can get. If you are sure your problem is new and unanswered, feel free to ask on the forum.

If you do not know which song should I pick or train at, just train at the three ones you already have.

• Bang Bang, Mystery Man is perfect for the beginning on Easy and Medium - you do not need to do any complicated moves, only hold the proper frets. On Amazing you can test your HOPO skills with it.
• Defy The Machine needs you to strum slightly faster in some places, but it is nice as well. Playing it on Medium also is quite easy, as you only need to coordinate your four fingers to press continuously against keys. If you ever feel like testing long HOPO sequences, try it on Amazing.
• This Week I've Been Mostly Playing Guitar you can practice in meanwhiles - it is good to get used to quick guitar solos on every difficulty.
• Fasten Me is nice as well, a medium-speeded picking and slower solo - you won't find too much of them around.
• You can also grab the Guitar Hero songs from here.
