I am not sure how much it was talked about when the solo buttons start, but I was looking back through some videos and found out about it.

If you look where the lead guitar's board is, it shows what percent of the solo you are at.

Here is the video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xd3E8zgqJM4
The solo is from 1:36 to 1:51


If this has been shown before, my apologies, please lock.

While I don't think it has been shown, I am sure some people have noticed it, I did. I believe it is an indicator of when it is possible to use the solo buttons.

It shows you how much of the solo you have played without failing..

Yea I actually really like this feature. It's very cool, it tells you that you are in a solo, and how you are doing it, what percent of it you have hit etc... This has been discussed before too.

this is an early build and the game interface is highly subject to change from what we see in this video.

I am surprised nobody *****ed abot the fact that this interface is from a build nearly three or four months old, from a song not even in the game anymore, on a video not even meant to be publicized, when the E3 build is 100% different. And that build is months old as well.

I can't see them omitting the feature in question from newer builds. It is a smart idea to include this.

Good eye to the finder of this, I never noticed that!

I am just surprised nobody said anything.

Looking at newer builds I don't see it. Maybe it's tucked away to corner. I dunno.

How new are the builds you're looking at? I just watched Paranoid being played at E3 and the solo percentage meter is still there. I took a screenshot...

Nice find Magnet.

I also noticed in the videos, that the percentage meter doesn't go away during the solo if you miss a note, it just won't say 100% Solo when you finish the actual solo. It will give you your percentage on what you did hit.

I wonder if this percentage works for drum solos and other instruments?

Yeah I just watched the vid again and was about to mention I was mistaken.
