Nabbing a Guinness World Record is a great feat in itself, but what's even greater? Beating your own Guinness World Record, of course. And that's exactly what Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, PC, and PS2) Guinness record holder Chris Chike did when he entered the Play N Trade National Guitar Hero Tournament.

The contest was initially held in over a hundred Play N Trade stores nationwide, with more than a thousand participants. Local winners were made to play DragonForce's Through the Fire and the Flames - yes, the same tune that Chike plowed through in his quest for the Guinness World Record - and the 16-year-old teen managed to get a 98% rating with 889,256 points, besting his Guinness World Record of 840, 647. Chike was awarded with 2,000 in-store credit.

The runners-up were Daniel Juarez of San Antonio, Texas, with 751,077 points, and Mike Holmes of Lexington, Kentucky with 739,674 points. Juarez managed to nab a Sony PlayStation 3 and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock bundle with 500 in-store credit, and Holmes got the same bundle, with 200 in-store credit.

It's a happy day indeed for Chike, but there's a possibility that he'll get a higher score if he's going to join another GH tournament. "I still haven't scored as high in any tournament event as I have when I've played at home," he said.

"besting his Guiness World Record" ... Do you mean, beating? I suppose in... some weird way it could really be "besting" as in.. "besting up his score" or something, that'd be extreme slang though lol...

post related ... That's absolutely amazing.. That boy MUST have a high flexibility in his fingers and an abnormal rate of hand-eye coordination!

I tip my hat off to him!
