Re: Rock Band 3

Oh wow they took out the tutorials.
I don't think you need to worry about it on easy. The notes are normally rectangles,if they're squares instead those are the ones you don't have to strum. Also during solos you can just use the solo buttons (if your guitar has them) and not strum.

Far as between easy and medium try turning on the breakneck speed.

You can adjust the speed independent of difficulty? I knew you could in practice but not the regular game

Re: Rock Band 3

No it's just something that pretty much makes the level you're playing on go at the default speed of the one above it and makes expert even faster but it also seperates the visual notes further to match the faster speed,a lot of people find it easier to play with because the notes are easier to read instead of all bunched up. Press start on the main screen,it's under options and then modifiers.

The “old” URL hacking technique over at RockBand.com seems to have occurred again, this time with select industrious individuals dropping in the names of some well known artists and finding some interesting placeholders.

A-Ha
Buffalo Springfield
EMF

Poison

+1 breakneck speed helps bridge the gap between levels. i'm mostly a HARD drummer, but some of the hardest songs are a little too tough for me. unfortunately, they are also usually metal songs and some of my favorites. dropping to medium makes things too easy/slow for me - but medium on breakneck speed provides a decent challenge.

also - if you posted on the official forums about the Ozzy track bundling...go back and check your PM's. HMX handed out ALOT of freebie codes. i just found one this morning waiting for me. BATM time tonight!

Re: Rock Band 3

I've been able to get a decent grasp on Hard Pro Bass.

Re: Rock Band 3

I'm thinking of getting the Squier Stratocaster as a birthday gift for myself, but in light of some of the small negatives that come with the guitar, do you think there will be a second generation of these guitars that I should wait on?

I'd get the Mustang, and then buy a real guitar down the road. The Strat just has had so many issues and a pretty high failure rate. It's a decent guitar by itself, but a lot of them have issues registering in game.

What's the Mustang? The plastic one with buttons instead of strings?

No thanks, and I already have a real guitar but it's an acoustic. I would prefer getting this guitar, I just needed to know if there were plans for making it better down the road.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD! You guys asked for it, and we have more Avenged Sevenfold coming to Rock Band – one song from their latest album Nightmare, and one classic fan-favorite A7X track.

Poison! You demanded more hair metal, and here it is! Get out your hairspray and eye liner because we have a most excellent three-pack of hits on the way from the ‘80s band.

System of a Down! Two of the most often requested tracks from the metal band will finally be coming to the Rock Band Music Store, and one of those two songs will feature their first Pro Guitar/Bass upgrade available for RB3!

Soundgarden returns to Rock Band! An unstoppable six-pack of classic songs from the seminal grunge band will be coming your way, with most featuring Pro Guitar upgrades.
