So what is this open note and purple note you're all talking about? You strum and finger nothing?

Yup. It looks like the bass pedal notes for drums and you just strum without holding down any buttons.

It became a lot more popular after it died.

Hmm. Do we hope that happens with RB, or do we hope that doesn't happens with RB? :\

purple note = no strumming required, ever. so kinda like HO/PO's only you dont have to hit the note before them to hit them without strumming. also known as tappy notes.

open note is on bass only, and is basically strum without holding any button.

Purple notes you can just tap. Open notes are on bass and are played by strumming only.

That's what a "purple note" is?

Ah. Thank you. Sounds weird as ****.

Why? Is it because its our thing and we don't want a bunch of casuals jumping on the RB bandwagon saying they love it too when clearly they don't?

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Another question, should I expect to be able to play anything on Expert? The game does have four difficulties like RB, right?

The best is the HOPO open notes. I like having to do less work.

If you think that's weird, wait until you see the open note hammer-ons. Those never made any sense whatsoever to me.
