I know... I have essentially taken to simply hitting Start -> Restart when I screw up. Was getting annoyed as heck last night at the intro to Plug-In Baby because I would pretty much hit everything...

You can, go into Riff Repeater and you can practice sections 3 different ways:

1. Note for note where it will pause the track until you hit the right note

2. Leveller which will start you out...

And both of those songs are musically complete with just guitar... Evident in the fact that both of the songs have complete acoustical versions made by the original artist with few changes to the...

I don't know I like the whole idea of a game which goes by what it hears and not by what it "feels" to use a previous poster's term. One of the great things about the guitar is there are so many...

Yeah.... The people at your BBQ really want to hear you play iconic riffs solo... Most people I know learn things like

Hotel California
Tears in Heaven
Layla
(more recently) Time of your Life...

And if you have no interest in joining a band and the additional nightmares it creates and just enjoy plsying music? You're pretty much out in the cold. I'm not saying they should ONLY do solo...

Except the whole Pro guitar mode was talked up as a learning tool that removed Rockband from just being a game.... What good is a learning tool if it is only good in groups for real world use?


...

I disagree, for every piece made that can just be done with a group there is an equal amount that are compositions which are musically complete in a solo setting while also being good in a group. ...

Oh agree his Cream stuff is great, I disagree it is superior to his solo career after seeing him in concert... But the biggest point is his Cream stuff pretty much requires an ensemble to sound good....

I Alone on Pro Guitar but not Lightening Crashes? Really?! I MUCH prefer the Lightening Crashes Guitar to the I Alone one as you can actually **shudder** play the song without accompaniment... Why...

I have a 60" 1080p screen and it doesn't make a lick of difference, still a bit difficult to see the chart. I can see it fine, but the keys are so small there is still a question as to which key it...

Had a RB3 party this last weekend and ran into the same problems. Some of my friends are professional music teachers and they were having tons of problems with the timing and fingering properly as...

Eh just getting the ones with Pro Guitar myself.... just don't see the purpose behind playing legacy 5-button guitar anymore.

The artist DOESN'T PROVIDE THE CHARTS.... This has been said numerous times in interviews.... What happens is when HMX licenses the piece for the game it covers them being able to use it in any way...

I think you lack an understanding of how easy it actually is. After all if it was costly and time consuming how could Hal Leonard sell guitar white pages which have around 150 charted songs each,...

From what I understand there is no Keyboard bundles for the PS3 in the US either.

Yes, but how about say future Green Day DLC, or pick any other band that has largely repetitive riffs made up purely of power chords. They could very easily fall into that exact same classification...

I think the point he is actually bringing up is that HMX has specifically stated Pro mode will not be available for all future DLC, only those DLC they feel is worth it. Meaning that song you really...

Because we're not all whackos and we are pragmatic enough to realize that one orange note on an easy song does not make it impossible, or even really difficult? This is really a mountain out of a...

Actually, they don't get the scores/charts provided by the bands, if you read the interviews they score them all by hand listening to the music and watching the videos to see how they are played. ...
