Beat a song with lefty flip on

How to unlock the Hendrix Award achievement in Guitar Hero II - Definitive Guide

Just like the achievement description says, you need to play and complete a song with lefty flip on, to activate lefty flip you need to go into the games options and change the settings there then go back to career/quickplay and choose a song to play, now it's important to note that the achievement doesn't require you to beat it on expert or anything, so if you're looking for a quick achievement just load of a song you like on easy and just match up the 3 colours which come at you slowly.

Of course there are other methods, for instance, you could place a mirror opposite your TV and play the song looking at the mirror so that even with lefty flip activated the highway will show the notes coming down on righty-flip.

I've linked in a video of someone playing on lefty flip so you can at least see how the notes should appear in left flip mode.

I found it easiest to do this either with my back to the TV looking over my shoulder or with a mirror propped on the sofa to flip the screen the right way around again.

Haha yeah that worked for me too. My TV is standing on the opposite of a window, so when it became dark outside I just flipped off my light and played a song while looking in the window ^^

Finally got around to doing this last weekend...why would you ever use a mirror? It doesn't take someone stellar at this game (as I am hardly stellar) to just flip the guitar, play a song on easy and match the 3 colors on the screen...

I think the other two guides are okay but I also think Jayour wasnt too clear about activating lefty flip. Simply go to "options" in the game's main menu then to "video settings." From there you should see "Player 1 Lefty Flip," "Player Two Lefty Flip," (They have check boxes) and "Calibrate Lag." Go over "Player 1 Lefty Flip" and press A then back out.

Now In Quickplay or Career, pick a song and your difficulty. I recommend "Woman" on Easy because it's the shortest song in the game.

Left-handed people may not have a problem, but Right-handed people may to use that Mirror method like Jayour and Codehead UK said. If you dont have a mirror to use, just try your best. If the diffcluty is on Easy, its gonna be hard to fail the song.

Easy for those of you who are leftys. But for the rest of us, this setting is under your player options. Once done, I recommend you play on easy.
