Also, to be quite honest, even if you know the notes and the scale, you will still have to practice quite a lot if you don't have the speed. Speed comes with accuracy, and accuracy comes with...

The Ramones are a lot more difficult to play than they appear at first glance, mostly because of the tempo. It's only recently that I have been able to handle songs at 160 bpm, and I've been playing...

Whoever owns the distribution rights for the song is the entity that has to give permission. AFAIK, Axl owns all of the rights to Gn'R's back catalog, so regardless of who wrote the songs, he has...

Unfortunately, no. This is one of those mind-numbingly-repetitive things that you're just going to have to keep doing over and over until it comes naturally.

Does the pro controller have fret...

Right. That's my point. Everyone builds muscle memory through practice at different rates, and the game isn't going to somehow magically accelerate that process. It's also going to take people a...

It has nothing to do with technique. It has to do with the fact that a five-button controller requires you to learn maybe two skills, tops; two/three-button "chords" and a single five-note "scale". ...

Actually, I've been thinking long and hard about this... and I kinda have to agree with the OP. Well, not in that we're "trapped" into buying RB3, because we're certainly not... but I'm not happy...

"That" thread? Look again. I linked five of them.



Couple problems with that theory. First, HMX said a while back that the vast majority of players don't play above Medium. Secondly,...

Wow. What a new and unique discussion. I've certainly never seen this topic before.

Cool topic!



Yes... specifically, for me, in the following three areas;

Composition: It became a lot easier for me to write music and think in terms of overall song structure after seeing...

I'd buy "You Belong With Me" in a heartbeat.

This isn't really all that different from trying to learn a song and not using RB. If you're the only guitarist playing, you have to pick and choose when to drop from lead to rhythm and back again,...

Not really. I've heard about those cases. The key phrase is, "shared online". If I burn a CD and give it to my buddy the RIAA will never know I did it, or if I keep the songs to myself and never...

I'm coming into this kind of late, so forgive me for quoting someone on the ninth page ahead of time.

Actually, I do think "It's Imagine!" is a legitimate argument, because people have been...

I don't know the laws in Germany, but here in America software companies with more well-paid lawyers than me like to argue that no, you don't own that file, merely the right to use it in the way...

...and if you get to the point where you've just dropped $250 or so on a decent starter amp, then the $10 or so that a new pack of strings will cost isn't going to be an issue. Remember, the OP's...

Beginners usually break strings when tuning, changing them, or bending. AFAIK, the Squier supports none of these features in-game, so... it's really not an issue, IMHO.



I've never run into...

o rly?

I have nine guitars. To date, I've broken one string. One. It happened three years ago, the first time I tried to change the strings on my first guitar and I overtuned it.



Huh? ...

three pages too long.

*rimshot*

Free Bird's first half actually has multiple rhythm guitar parts playing chords and arpeggios... so, which one do they pick? And how is playing the same four chords over and over again any less...
