Is anyone able to play Every breath pro on expert, those chords are crazy add9, the way the trainer explains em is impossible, you have to barre them to get your pinky over there right.
well at least im learning some new chords.... (gulp)

I 5* it on my second try. If you're using the mustang don't even bother trying to do the crazy chords since the plastic neck is a piece of $@%&. I used my index finger to play the first note of each chord and then quickly moved down to hit the rest of the notes. Hard to explain but it worked.

there are youtube tutorials on how to play that song, so i won't go into detail on each chord, but for each chord, you hold the root down with your index finger, play the 5th and 9th with your middle and pinky respectively, then switch your index finger to play the 3rd on the higher string while still holding down the 5th and 9th with the middle/pinky fingers. you don't barre the chords, though i suppose you could if you wanted to and had really flexible hands and strong fingers. andy summers doesn't play it that way though, so why make it harder on yourself?

either way, this song is really good practice for stretching those fingers.

I played it barring on 24 fret guitar, it's a fun song.

I suspect that OK Go's song will sell the best. The twilight connection will be like gold for it. Personally, I find the song annoying. If you have a girlfriend in the right demographic, I recommend it.

So, you are telling me that I should just save my money instead of buying a lottery ticket?

Man, So Lonely has got to be my favorite Police song ever, but it seems to be one of the hardest guitar gold stars I've ever encountered.

I can get 100% on everything except the solo, can pull an "awesome" on it (95-100%) and still no Gold stars! Even with the new scoring mechanic, I figured I'd do a little better than that.

I'm #51 for guitar on the Xbox leaderboards even without the gold stars, so I wonder if the cutoff is different for whatever reason?
