Guitar Hero Tournament

 Guitar Hero is a musical rhythm game that turned into a series in 2005. The series currently has seven minor releases and four expansions on gaming consoles and has become a sensation. Guitar Hero continues to be popular with the entire world and is still selling in high numbers.
          Zach Rodrigues has been playing Guitar Hero since he was 12 years old. When he plays, he focuses only on the game and nothing else. With purchasing almost every game in the Guitar Hero series, he could be considered one of the best.
          In this short video, we see Rodrigues duel against three contestants, Matt, Jeremy, and Duffy and blows them all out of the water. We asked them that they play on the same difficulty as Rodrigues which was "expert", the most hardest difficulty. On every song, Rodrigues scored an 85% or higher on the most hardest difficulty. Throughout the video, you can see that Rodrigues doesn't even have to put in an effort. In one clip, we can see that he plays the guitar behind is back without even having to look at the buttons on the guitar.
          After every contestant was finished matching up against Rodrigues, we interviewed them separately and everyone time we asked them what went wrong, their response was, "He is just too good." and that they need more practice.
          Rodrigues says that he will keep playing Guitar Hero because it is fun and it relaxes him. He knows he is good but wants to get better. There are plenty of people that are better than him in the world and he wants to increase his skill level.
