Re: Rock Band 2

The 3 button chords will become second nature eventually, just like 2 button chords. The trickiest one for me is where you use your index, middle and pinky. I try to avoid lifting my ring finger as much as I can. The best piece of advice is to try to keep you fingers on the RYBO keys as much as you can. Treat that as your "home" instead of GRYB.

Agreed. Once i kept the pinky on orange and moved the pointer for green and red, i was money

Me too. It's much easier to move your index finger than your pinky.

Re: Rock Band 2

A big problem I have with expert guitar is hitting 3-note chords. For whatever reason, I just can't get my fingers in the right spots and end up missing every single one of them.

yep, that's my problem on expert as well. The orange button doesn't give me problems anymore, just the 3-note chords.

Re: Rock Band 2

Expert is pretty easy, well not easy, but not hard for me anymore. Except a few songs. The pinky doesn't bother me at all, however I do have challenges with songs that have odd timed muting because I feel I can't move the strum bar correctly. This is usually only a problem in metal songs like Metallica and Megadeth.

Also I'm still not very good at the shredding guitar solos with all the runs up and down. I just lose track. There are still some songs I can't finish in expert, but not many. Think is, playing on hard is BORRING for me. It's so slow and just doesn't feel like I'm playing.

Livin' on a Prayer, and we're only getting one Journey song.

Re: Rock Band 2

I've hit the wall in Rock Band where I can't continue my World Tour without doing songs on Hard, and since I can't nail the orange button, my game is essentially over. Little disappointed that I just can't play the game through on medium like I would like, but oh well. Rock Band one went through this as well. I get that everything should get harder, but it limits the player who can't do it.

that's not true. If you can 5 star songs pretty well in medium, you can still get a million fans and perform at the Rolling Stone Immortals thing. Just play a bunch of the custom or mystery sets. You'll eventually get the stars required to finish off the tour. I know the game requires you to play on Hard for a few songs, but even Painkiller and Battery appear eventually in Medium sets too.

Tell me how to do it then, when I go to Tokyo and other areas, every song has everything below hard greyed out. I can't find a single show where it's not right now.

Re: Rock Band 2

Now a days musician use instruments very different but their music is very good and very fast but singer can sing a song only guitar

[Blzer]

Re: Rock Band 2

I don't like Toby Keith (well I like him in his respective style of country, but I don't like that style of country), but I'm very happy that they're including more country and my family loves him. The only song that I know for sure on that list is How Do You Like Me Now, so I'll give a listen to the others and assure that I should buy the entire six-pack or not.

It will be an expensive day, also buying American History X on Blu-ray and Rag Doll Kung Fu in the PSN Store.
