Can You Unlock Free Bird in Guitar Hero III (PS2) With Cheats? No—Only By Beating the Game

No cheat code unlocks "Free Bird" in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on PS2 (or any platform).

How to Actually Unlock It

Complete Career Mode on any difficulty (Easy through Expert).

• Finish the final boss battle (Lou vs. Devil) in the "Battle for Your Soul" set.
• Credits roll → "Free Bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd) unlocks in **Quick Play** and **Multiplayer** setlists.
• It is **not** playable in Career Mode (bonus track only).

Why No Cheats?

• Guitar Hero III has **no cheat code entry system** on console. The "Cheats" menu in Options only toggles **Performance Mode** (no HUD), **Lefty Flip**, **Scroll Speed**, **Hyperspeed**—gameplay modifiers, not unlocks.
• All unlocks (songs, guitars, characters, clothes) are tied to Career progression, Star Power spending in the Shop, or entering **specific cheat codes *only on the Wii version* (via Wii Remote gestures)**—PS2/360/PC have none.

Wii Version Exception

On Wii, you *can* enter gesture codes at the main menu (e.g., "Unlock All Songs" = specific swing pattern). But "Free Bird" still requires Career completion even with "Unlock All" active on some versions.

If You're Stuck on Expert

• Drop to **Hard** or **Medium**—unlock is difficulty-agnostic.
• Practice "Raining Blood" / "Number of the Beast" / "One" in Quick Play (Slowest Speed / Hyperspeed 1–3).
• Calibrate audio/video lag (Options → Calibrate) – critical for timing.

Beat the devil, earn the bird. That's the only way.
