Looks like Santana DLC next week

Wonder what the songs are gonna be.

I'm predicting:

- "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen"
- "Smooth"
- "Oye Como Va"

Paul is trying to confuse us!

For calluses, I recommend trying out the tips of your fingertips with rubbing alcohol once or twice a day. It'll dry out the skin and help build up calluses. It worked for me, taking about two weeks total if I remember right.

I cheated and used this stuff for about a month, more slowly building calluses but with greatly reduced pain. It's basically surgical glue.

At this price I bought it on impulse. Ugh--Steam. Why would this require 12 GB on PC when the Xbox version fits on a DVD?

No idea.. Compression?

Looks like Santana's "Oyo Como Va"

edit: wrong guess

I the pc version too, at that price. Wish there was a way to use my xbox dlc.
I'd love a custom 'freebird' that uses rockband's fingering (and guitar tones) too, while I'm dreaming.

Not as handy as I'd hoped--I kind of wanted it to be a minimize-able Windows app. It isn't, quite, but you can get into and out of it without stopping it using the Windows app switching shortcuts (ALT-TAB and such).

I declined to spend $30 on the Xbox bass-expansion but I got the whole game with bass for PC for half of that. Of course, as you point out, I can't use my Xbox DLC from it.

Ready for DLC hint #2? This artist gained prominence in the late 60's/early 70's, but his 1999 record was actually his most successful, selling over 15 million copies!

Santana - Smooth (feat. Rob Thomas)

It would make sense that the last song would be Black Magic Woman, given it's popularity in other music games
