anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried the trainers yet?
My roommate's never played a keyboard beyond just doodling on keys, but she's managing easy pro after spending an hour in pro keys training mode.

I've played most of the songs on easy pro and a handful on medium pro. It's gonna take a while to get used to such a daunting note highway.

I have, right now I'm about halfway through the trainer (or I guess, the Medium Difficulty of it). So far it has yet to offer any instruction on how to orient your hands on--as you said--such a large highway. Which is a bit concerning: I would think that's one of the first things they'd instruct you on, followed by scales and chords

I have to agree with everyone else, this new layout is really bad :(

New forums are weird, man. I guess the integration of everything is nice, but yeah, the layout is no fun. Lack of a post count is slightly disappointing because I was really, really close to 5,000 posts (I guess my title will change though).

Rock Band 3 is a blast though, too bad I'm unable to play it again for a week. Keys take me some getting used to, but I think I'll get the hang of it. Did anyone do the Gamestop pre-order or try to export Rock Band 2 songs? It wasn't working for me, but this website was also down at the time, so I don't know if that had something to do with it.

I'm sure this has been asked already, but....where the deuce is Album Review? I can't find it

album reviews was apparently merged with HoR

But luckily it looks like all of the threads from Album Reviews are gone.

I think I had read that somewhere, but if that were the case where are the threads? Are they buried in HoR somewhere?

there were some good ones on there, but I agree that there was a lot of useful **** on there

I'm terrible at instructing others, but your best bet is keeping your index finger on the white keys with the raised ridges (also known as the first note of each color change).

I didn't dig into training mode past the first section or so because it was so tedious for me and I was ready to jump into Space Oddity, goddammit.

EDIT: I'm talking about your right hand in case that wasn't obvious.

the new layout allows for bigger avis now apparently, i now have one that has a decent resolution

EDIT: much better
