An Expert run of Dio's "Holy Diver," taken from a preview version of Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. Check GameSpy.com for hi-res and downloadable versions.
Note: despite the tag at the beginning of the video, this is not the original, but a cover version. Sorry for any confusion. :)
A 100% run of the Foo Fighters' The Pretender from Guitar Hero 3 (x360 version).
This SP path was originally good enough for the first place on the XBL leaderboards, so it should be solid. And the song rocks. :)
Also, the guitar in the video is an Xbox 360 Les Paul with a chrome faceplate.
An Expert run of the Vapors' "Turning Japanese," taken from a preview version of Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. Check GameSpy.com for hi-res and downloadable versions.

A 100% run of one of the new songs from the x360 version of Guitar Hero 2. I'm not sure this Star Power path is optimal, but seems like a decent start.

My best effort on Jordan to date -- 5*, 297k -- recorded Dec '06.
This run uses an aggressive path that requires surviving Solo B (the densely packed triads) without any Star Power. It's risky, but as the video shows, it's possible. :)
A near-perfect run of TROGDORRRRR!!! in Guitar Hero 2.
