We all know it's coming. So, do you think on guitar, you'll just wait a while for the tiny bit of guitar towards the end, or do you think you'll play other instruments like piano and saxophone? Saxophone could be pretty fun. :P

It's actually a clarinet, not saxophone, but I'm sure they'll chart that for guitar.

From memory, one of the Lenny Kravitz songs in RB has saxophone charted to guitar. I don't know how it plays, as I don't own the song, but I thought I'd note that it has been done before.

That is almost as insulting as on the RBN sub forum where someone confused my Clarinet for flute.

It would be hard charting guitar to clarinets, since there were three (one was bass). BUT, in wikipedia, the credits section credit John Lennon as playing guitar.

But you only hear guitar during like, the last 20 seconds of the song. Before that, are they just gonna make you wait that long? I doubt it, I'm sure you'll play clarinet. I mean, on Clint Eastwood, you play freaking harmonica.

That is not true at all. None of the Lenny Kravitz songs have other instruments charted to guitar.

I dreamt about playing this song last night.

I seem to dream about playing TB:RB a lot. These last 3 weeks are going to drag...

To the actual topic at hand, I am not one of the purists that freak out when a non-guitar part is charted to guitar. As long as the chart is fun, I don't care a whit.

I dreamed that I was playing Beatles Rock Band, and then my doorbell rang and it was Ringo asking if I knew where the library was. And I was really excited and after I told him where it was (dunno what my dream directions actually went to), I told him I was playing Beatles Rock Band, and he said, "Oh, okay." It was a little disappointing, really.

The only real time I care about guitar charting is when it is done just for the hell of it. In the case of Clint Eastwood, that's a melodica, not a harmonica, so it's actually closer to an RB guitar than a real guitar is. But either way, it's still lead. Some people said the piano in Hey Jude should be charted to guitar, though, and that's silly.
