On May 17th, 13 year-old Grapevine native Daniel Johnson beat the Guinness World Record for high score on a single song for Guitar Hero III when he attended the Guitar Hero 24-Hour Marathon presented by Blockbuster.  Daniel played on a XBOX 360 and scored 890,971, beating the previous record by more than 10,000 points while playing Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce at the Expert Level on his first attempt.

When asked what he thought about breaking the world record, Daniel said, “I’m glad that I had the opportunity to break the record and help people learn about Education is Freedom.”

The previous record was held by Chris Chike who achieved a score of 880,920 in March 2008.
