2 pro guitars parts

[GRRRUMBLE]

Will there be a time when songs that have 2 guitar players will have both parts available ?
Most likely if I was to sit in with a friends band as accompany they would only allow for rythm. Learning those parts would be a good thing.
Also some bands had a marty and dave or a kirk and james both difficult to play parts and necessary to be seperate roles.

It's already happened on RBN (well, not pro obviously, but GRYBO). The two songs by Rodrigo y Gabriela are originally by two guitarists, but one is charted as a bass track.

I don't think official HMX DLC ever will go that direction, though. When RBN 2.0 goes live I don't know if they'll tolerate a second guitar charting as a keyboard part. I doubt official-HMX DLC will ever go that direction though.

Pick a song in which you have to alt-strum ("Thrasher" is probably the most ridiculous one). Now play it on a keyboard (I know you can play key parts on guitar, but that shouldn't be the expected way to play a part marked "Keys"). Now add the fact that they'd have to do a pro keys chart.

Actually pro keys are entirely optional (as is regular keys, if you wanted to do a pro chart but no 5-lane chart for some reason). I agree with your point though, charting guitar to keys is a road that leads to bad places.

This is not true. If you have regular keys, you are required to have Pro keys. And vice versa.

Are you sure about that? The blog post state "All of these features will be optionally supported by RBN2, and each song may implement as many or as few of them as the creators wish" and I'm sure someone has asked if Pro keys charts are compulsory and been told they aren't.

EDIT: Apparently I was mistaken, they are compulsory. *shrug*

Yea, I thought they were optional too for a while, but Nord cleared it up. Which slightly sucks when you've got a super-tough keys part to try and transcribe...

The pro-keys point is noteworthy.

Doing an alt-strum part on the keyboard isn't that hard, though. There are two sets of keys that register as GRYBO on the keyboard. A part fast enough that you need to alt strum, you can use both hands and 'twiddle' between the right hand key and the left hand of the same key.

Now, alt strums that entail a lot of chord changes (Antibodies, I'm looking at you) would be tough, for sure. But for pure-speed single-key or single-chord alt strums, it's actually not bad on a keyboard.

I'd thank yyou for the reply however much is misunderstood here.
You want keys I want 2 different guitar player parts.
You invested much into keys.
I listen to many bands with no keys but 2 destinct guitarists.
For example a song by megadeth called back in the day.
