Roostophe Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Cool. So when you enter a solo do you just not strum the first note, and continue to not strum? I strum on the big notes, and not strum on the smaller notes. If you get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAshley Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I strum on the big notes, and not strum on the smaller notes. If you get what I mean.Yeah I do. Well that's not the same as using the Rock Band solo buttons. What I guess you're talking about is the notes that aren't as wide as normal notes. If that's the case, these are hammer ons (and in reverse order, pull offs). The Rock Band solo buttons let you play through the entire solo by not strumming at all - that's where I think you got confused dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've confused me by saying that I was confused... Why did you say all that? That's stuff I already know. You're talking to N-E's Guitar Hero King here, btw. Seriously, I've been reading our posts over and over and over again trying to figure out where you thought I got confused. But I can't see where...

Well when you said 'small notes' I assumed you meant the hammer on-able ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Well when you said 'small notes' I assumed you meant the hammer on-able ones. Yeah, I did. The small hammer-on and pull-off notes that I have been hammering-on and pulling-off without strumming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAshley Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Yeah, I did. The small hammer-on and pull-off notes that I have been hammering-on and pulling-off without strumming.That goes without saying. With the Rock Band Stratocaster's solo buttons it's a completely different thing. I thought you meant you could do solos in the same way as that… you can't!

I thought you meant you could do solos in the same way as that… you can't! If I have to switch to the smaller buttons to finger-tap the solo, then the RB controller has another reason to fuck right off! That would be too fiddly. Also, I need to say this: If that's the case, these are hammer ons (and in reverse order, pull offs). You meant well by saying that. But I found that bit rather patronising because I know that already, as I play real guitar (which you didn't know.). So saying that bit really wasn't necessary.

NotAshley Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I was just stating that as a side note. I play guitar as well, I just took it as a given that I would add that while I was at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be too fiddly. Ok let me help you out here :P In Rock Band, where you get the Solo sections on some songs, you can so it like normal HOPO's where you finger tap the smaller notes as usual on both sets of fret buttons, exactly the same as GH. However, if you use the smaller buttons further down the neck during the solo sections then you don't have to strum for any of the notes whatsoever - you can tap the entire thing without strumming, if you miss a note or not, and if they're HOPO's or not, but only if you use the smaller solo keys down the bottom of the neck. Does that help? He wasn't talking about regular HOPO's : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Can someone please tell me why this game is so great. I need convincing to shell out £180 for this on the PS3 and Im still umming and ahing because I have a feeling Guitar Hero 4 will be a better BAND game, I can get that for Wii and not lose online or DLC AND I already have a guitar from GH3. BUUUUUUUUUT.....I'm an impatient git and I want to play it now. Sooooo, why is Rock Band so good, and particularly better than Guitar Hero (guitar sections).

Which means I'll have some instruments floating about until like Froday when the game will arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ordered, I got ripped off, but who cares if its loads of fun and I get hours of playtime out of it. Should be here tomorrow! Does anyone know how many online bands you can create? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAshley Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Does anyone know how many online bands you can create?You can't actually create online bands because Band World Tour isn't online supported. Still, you can have a few different groups of friends who you play online with regularly, though it won't track your progress as a band or anything.

Guest Jordan Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 What sucks is, you can't change the leader of your band. Meaning you can't change your band members easily. Not only that, but you have to increase your difficulty to get to get more fans past around 600K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roostophe Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 My brother tried doing Drums on hard, he failed, went back to medium. I don't have that problem with the guitar, I always choose Expert. I've started Drum Solo Tour on Hard. It's a lot more difficult, but should become more fun when I get the hang of it. Plus, I'll probably end up being better at playing real drums...

dazzybee Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hang on, so you cant go through career online? You just play songs? I suppose thats okay....sort of.... You can only play through career locally? Can you have 2 players playing on one console against 2 players on another online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Anyone who ordered from Play.com can you tell me whether they packed the game with the instruments? Just checked my tracking and instruments are 24 hours delivery, if they've not sent the game with them I will spend the day staring at the instruments crying.

McPhee Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Don't order the game from play.com, you'd be better cancelling and ordering from shopto or going to your local Tesco. Either that or you'll be waiting until friday for the game (2nd class post = lame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I ordered the instruments through Play and the game through shopto, both came the next day, both with free shipping (and some quidco discounts). Hang on, so you cant go through career online? You just play songs? I suppose thats okay....sort of.... You can only play through career locally?It's a game that comes boxed with a guitar and microphone and drums. It's designed for local multiplayer. The main reason to get this game is to have a band with your mates, using your living room like a stage at a concert. Edit: I just realised I said "the game comes boxed with the instruments". lul, irony. You know what I meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
