Oh, and by the way, it should be noted that for the purposes of this puzzle, "intangible" is taken to mean "impalpable" or "incapable of being felt by touch", as opposed to "incapable of being perceived". | ||

HINT: He is not simply listening to the music, nor is he actually producing the actual music with an actual musical instrument, actually. | ||

I am nearly getting confused with this puzzle so far, so I'm going to go ahead with a *******RECAP*********** When he makes a mistake in one of them, they both stop. 1) "He" refers to a person. 2) "They" and "them" do not refer to the same thing. 3) "They" and "them" are music. 4) Determining specific songs may assist in solving this puzzle. 5) All of the relevant music is stored on the same DVD-ROM. 6) Different instrument tracks to the same songs are relevant. 7) At one point, the music of the most relevant tracks were produced with musical instruments. 8) "He" is not actually playing the music, and "he" is not necessarily the one who recorded the music. Still to discover: Who is "he"? What is "them"? What is "they"? Which of "them" is the one that, when he makes a mistake in it, "they" both stop? | ||

New member Username: Doctapeppa Post Number: 1600 Registered: 12-2004 |
Alhucema: Is "he" a famous person? Not necessarily A musician? Am I a musician? One of The Beatles? The chances of that are highly unlikely, but it probably would not be correct to say that the answer is conclusively "no" Are "them" a famous song? Strictly speaking, no, because "them" in this case is plural. They? No. Like "them", "they", in this case, is plural (perhaps subtly implied with "both"). | ||

Alhucema: The songs - it would help to determine their exact titles, correct? It wouldn't hurt, although a list of every song that has some relation to this puzzle would probably more trouble to figure out than it's worth. However, you would probably want to find out at least one. Are any of "them" or "they" just instrumental? Yes Is human voice involved in any of the above? Too vague to answer He = you? Sometimes If you speak about "songs", do you mean all of the musical pieces involved? Also vague Are all the musical pieces of one period?

Correct Not only the guitar track, but much of the rest... if I remember correctly. Close enough. When he makes a mistake in one of them, they both stop. Our hero, the anonymous "Guitar Hero", is playing Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The lovely developers at Activision managed to separate the guitar track from the drums, vocals, bass, etc. on MOST of the songs. However, with "one of them", the song "Paint It, Black" by the Rolling Stones.
