I've played quite a few online matches on Guitar Hero, and I think I've become pretty good at reading people, even if I have no idea who they are (for the most part). I've become quite good at telling if the person I just wiped out with a lefty flip is cocky or modest.
If you've never played an online match on Guitar Hero, this might be just a bit confusing to you, and if you've never played an online match period you'll probably zone out part way through this from boredom, if you haven't already.
Name
The first way to tell what kind of person you're going up against is by their name. This is not the best source of information on your opponent, but it's the first. I find that people with superfluous numbers at the end of their names tend to be more, shall we say, over-confident than others. This isn't always true, but for the most part, I think it is. (The same goes for names with lots of Xs and names with profanity.)
People with short names seem to be more modest, and all around better online gamers. I find they're less likely to quit mid-game.
