Both will help. Practice getting 5 stars on songs on all the songs on medium. Practicing on hard more definitely helped me get better. Doing both will probably help.

Try practicing on hard with a slower speed. Then, you know, bring the speed as needed.

Some people also recommend that you play on Medium using only your first three fingers and shifting up and down to hit blue/green, like you would for orange/green on Hard and Expert.

Give it a shot.

I  suddggest to go into practice mode and do a song on hard and keep at it until you get 80% or higher on it. Then try it on carer mode.

I played Medium till I had 5 starred every song. Do that and play Hard a helluva lot of times until you get used to shifting.

Like others have said, Slow Ride is a good song to start on. Also, try Bulls on Parade, since it's one of the easiest songs on Hard.

I can make the transition easily.

Just practice a lot and you'll be fine.

Bulls on Parade is extremely easy.
I almost 100% it on Expert.

I skipped Hard.

Honestly. I just tried Expert a few times and beat some of the songs after playing on Medium, and THEN I went to Hard just to beat all the difficulty levels.

If you've got the PS2/X360 version and GH2, play through GH2's Hard Career once or twice. It's a much easier transition.
Simply put, Hard on GH3 is more like GH2's Expert.
And Expert on GH3... don't ask. :B

Hm, for me it was the opposite. I couldn't transition from Medium to Hard on GH II. The nice thing about GH III is that it actually introduces you to altstrumming and HOPOs on Medium. Then the only thing you need to get accustomed to is Position 2 and shifting. On GH2, it was "lol medium is ez ill level up nao" and then you moved up to Hard and they threw 10 million new things at you at once.

Though I suppose that the song difficulty progression in GH III sucks; the Set 2 stuff is easier than the Set 1 stuff. For the most part, things were well-balanced in GH2.
