    I mean, if the solos are particularly frequent or long, then Bandmate might be useful, but on balance, I still don't see it. You're still only getting 20,000 points for completely nailing a solo. If there are multiple solos at the same time (isn't that a ridiculous contradiction, anyway?), you're still only going to be able to use Bandmate on one of them, and unless you can keep it running for the entire duration, you'll still lose 10,000 of those points. It's just hard to imagine many scenarios where Jackpot isn't going to be more lucrative.


    One of them is shortly after this point, the other I couldn't find, but that one is litterally at the same time;

    I guess for that one, you could go from guitar to bass to drums and hit all of them yourself. It would be pretty hard though. The other one would be harder.

    EDIT: this is the 2x bass version. Shouldn't be that much difference in Blitz.

    "Black Magic Woman" by Santana has a keyboard and drum solo at the same time towards the beginning.

    I may be crazy ;) but "You May Be Right" has a point where the end of the guitar solo overlaps with the beginning of the saxophone (mapped to keys) solo.

    The last note of the guitar solo in Spoonman overlaps with the drum solo. The guitar solo is pretty much impossible to 100%, so you probably weren't going to get the full points anyway.

    Me and Bobby McGee has a guitar solo in the middle of the keyboard solo.

    If we're also counting solos that more or less overlap with each other, then you can also count Godzilla

    As someone mentioned earlier, By Your Command, and it have about 3 simultaneous Guitar, Bass and Drum solos scattered around, 2 of them under a second long to add salt to the injury. I tried using bottle rockets on them but the checkpoint barrier seems to block the explosion from going past it. Bandmate would at least be useful here to double the score even if it won't triple it.

    Thief In The Night - Part 1 by Chaotrope is complete and utterly evil in this department, having the guitar and keyboard play the same solo at the same time in the middle of the song that lasts for 2 checkpoints. If you want the checkpoint multiplier full, you have to lose your combo at some point.

    Riptide Resort by Freen in Green have a pretty long Keys solo in the middle, which after a while adds a guitar solo at the same time. It got several spaces and sustains though, so you might be able to get a high score on both of them (if not maxed out) with some skill, luck and a good OD setup.

    On The Backs Of Angels has a slight overlap. In the RB3 chart, the fourthlast note of the keys solo is at the same instant as the first note of the guitar solo.

    I'm not sure just how many notes overlap in the Blitz chart (I'm pretty sure the keys notes come too fast to get mapped 1-to-1 in Blitz, but at least one falls after the guitar solo begins), but I am pretty sure it's a naturally-impossible dual 100% solo point.
