* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: [[AmericansHateTingle At least in the West]], up until ''Guitar Hero'' was released Westeners casually enjoyed the series if they came across it as there were no other band simulation games present. ''GH'' brought a number of RhythmGame staples that cemented it as a hit amongst Western players, making ''GITADORA'' look like a poor man's ''VideoGame/RockBand'' to many.

This has largely died down as fans have come to the conclusion that both games are meant to serve not only different demographics but also different types of players (''Guitar Hero'' is designed more around simulating TheRockstar experience and for relatively casual fun, while ''GITADORA'' better suits competitive/score-minded players), and because ''Guitar Hero'' as well as its CreatorDrivenSuccessor ''VideoGame/RockBand'' ended up fading out of mainstream attention anyway, while ''GITADORA'' continues to have a thriving player base in Japan.

** ''XG'' introduces two additional fret buttons a la ''Guitar Hero'' and ''Rock Band'', two more drums, and one more bass pedal, resulting in a more difficult experience all across the board.

* DifficultySpike: The first [=GuitarFreaks=] had a relatively noticeable one for beginners by nature of not having many songs, and also not allowing players to play a song more than once per credit. After most likely playing "Cutie pie" and "Chicago Blue", the player had to select from the much tougher and faster remaining four songs as their final stage.
