Yeah, I keep offering to test if someone would buy me a 360, RB3, and sponsor me. Strangely, it hasn't happened ;)

But yes, it's mostly watching, with some occasional playing. I know my biggest problem would be testing pro keys, as I really don't know what I'm doing there, but I could test everything else. It doesn't require you to be awesome, just good enough to understand how things should generally be charted.

And you don't have to test everything in playtest. It's actually advisable you don't, just focus on one or two instruments instead and get really deep down on them, know them inside and out.

Review them like an animal. Got it :)

And yes, makes sense. Hope you get more playtesters.

I would also like to point out that being good at playing an instrument doesn't necessarily equate being a good tester for that instrument and vice-versa, you don't need to actually play a song at all to playtest it well.

A good ear for pitch (being able to tell whether a note is higher or lower than another note will do, not necessarily being able to tell the precise pitch of a note just by hearing it (although that would be a big help)) and a very basic knowledge of note timings (as simple as knowing about 8th notes, 16th notes, triplets, etc) is what you need, not guitar skill.

We had two songs release today!

Ooh, more Anarchy Club. I'll have to get that one. They're always good for some WTF-ery on drums (in a good way, as pizzzapizza would say).

The TAG sets continue!

Play through every TAG release in chronological order :D

Vol 16 brings songs from Strikken, Onslaught, The Minotaur Project, Toby Turner, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Trews, and more!

Any word on some of the 80's bands you were looking at?

That was part of a deal we were working that fell through when our contact left the company unfortunately.
