    What lane have you prioritized?

    So we all know the result screen fairly well now, so next time you're playing and finish a song, pause for a minute and look at the accuracy/cred screen. Are you prioritizing one instrument over the others? Do the scores close together, or are they all over the place?

    I was just really curious to know :P I seem to be playing guitar a lot more than the others, and really ignoring keys... How about you guys?

    I made it multiple choice, so if you have two that are really close at the top, just put them both in

    Luuckily, I don't have too many songs with keys. I tend to forget about my rhythm section a lot though, but blast notes and road rage help build them up without much attention from me.

    Guitar followed by Vox are generally my highest. Guitar is in the middle and usually my super, and Vox I tend to prioritize so I don't forget it when I can't find notes later.

    I'll third what Bront said. I find that generally Guitar is the best choice for Super, because it is adjacent to vox and close enough to keys, which are often the two lanes that are the most sparsely populated in a given section. Also, there are obviously more Guitar solos than any other instrument. There have really only been a few songs so far where I really wished I had used a different Super lane.

    Super Guitar, always. Guitar sustains with a multiplier and super = LOTS OF FRICKIN POINTS.

    Plus it's in the center of the highway (with 5 instruments).

    Guitar most frequent, followed by bass. Very rarely will I super an edge track, so no on drums, no on keys, and vox only get consideration on tracks that have keys.

    If the game allowed us to customize left-to-right track sequence, drums or keys would be more likely to get super'ed.

    It completely depends on the song for me. Usually either guitar or drums, sometimes bass. Very rarely keys or vocals.

    Definitely guitar for me, for the reasons other people have explained. The main reason being it's in the center, and since we can't cycle from vox/keys to drums, that's my "home" track. It's also the track I use for the "Super" power-up the most.

    Though sometimes when I feel lazy, or on a keys song, I'll use the Bandmate p-up with super drums and fire notes. I'll Bandmate the drums and just concentrate on the other 4 tracks.

    It's definately guitar for the same reasons as everybody else. Ignoring power-ups, if you've got everything at max this is typically the one with the most notes (this or drums), and from Guitar you have a good view of the ENTIRE road so you can easily see upcoming notes. Keys naturally are lowest since so few songs have them and have them in high amounts.

    After that it's Drums (my backup if I don't do Super Guitar) followed by Bass/Vocals.
