I know not everyone can be a super-awesome guitar hero player and full clear songs on expert, but posting a video of you "almost 100%ing a song on hard" and expecting no one to say anything because you're "only 12 years old and have a LIFE" (according to your video) is kind of pointless.
Pointless because there are HUNDREDS of guitar hero players on YouTube who can 100% just about anything on expert, most famous of which Danny (GuitarHeroPhenom), who is "only 14 years old" and "has a LIFE", but is the only person to ever 100% Through the Fire and Flames on expert without hyperspeed, and can 100% custom made songs that are pretty much the guitar hero equivalent of a fucking impossible ROM hack.
I know you just wanted to share a nice little video of you playing guitar hero, but that's what you show to your friends and stuff, you don't go to random people showing them something they've seen done better a million times before and not expect someone to call you out on it.
Another huge problem with these guitar hero videos, which are the videos I am commenting on because I watch a lot of them, is the quality. These days you can easily get videos of any guitar hero song being played with a split-shot of both the screen and the person playing, and without that incredibly horrible low quality blur that comes from pointing your camera at the TV screen.
My reccomendation if you're actually serious about producing Guitar Hero videos for people on YouTube is to keep practicing until you're at a level of which people will want to watch, use a screen recorder of some kind (DVD Recorders are the most common) to eliminate the blur and point the camera at you instead, then make a split-view of you playing and the screen.
You're probably going to think i'm an asshole for calling you out on this, but honestly, i'm saying it nicer than anyone on YouTube comments is going to. They're not bad videos, they're just mediocre. Not many people will want to watch someone of your skill (no offense here) play Guitar Hero when they can watch someone 100% spaztastic-impossible songs on expert. I myself can beat all songs on expert, and 5 star most, but I am still not good enough to put up videos, compared to most others who do so.
Good luck with Guitar Hero anyway, and don't give up, no matter how hard the road ahead seems you can always get better by practicing. Many people believe there is a skill level that you plateau at, but this is only if you let yourself do so.
