Well this is harmonix we're talking about. I have faith they'll come up with something. they already said they were having some interesting discussions. when harmonix puts on the thinking hat, awesome things happen. never underestimate them! a cool thing I always wanted them to do was to have various guitar sections assigned to different people. for instance. someone playes lead on one guitar, and someone else can play rhythm. same principle can be applied to keys. we already have harmonies, so it's only fair if they apply it to other instruments lol. not to mention it'll be totally awesome. as for the whole pro vs difficulty thing, there are now tons of songs containing pro instruments. if you can't play songs from the actual disc, why not check out some dlc? content's released on a weekly basis, and there's always 1 or more pro guitar add-on upgrades. only cost $1 extra excluding regular song prices, so it's not bad at all considering all the extra work they gotta do. I'm sure there's something there that'll interest you. unless you're extremely picky about your music.

Problem is, I can't do pro guitar too well... I played for 9 years, but I don't have enough technique to play a lot of the songs that are around right now. lol. But you're right... I should step it up again. Been a while since I did something... maybe it's time to sit down with rock band again. And I would agree... I don't see what else they can do with the game... guess we'll have to find out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yohandy" <yohandy85@xxxxxxxxx>To: <brandonslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 1:11 PM Subject: [brandon's list] Re: Rock Band: fur elise expert pro keyswell we can't expect these things to be perfect. it does appear that pro guitar is a pretty close approximation of the real thing though which is good. and yeah, rock band's awesome, but it doesn't leave much room for improvisation, dynamics etc . you gotta play things precisely as they were charted. I've a feeling things are about to change for the next version of the game. I mean where else can they take it? anyway, when are we gonna see some of your guitar samples? I can't wait to check it out. feels like I'm the only one pumping out content. step it up dude! I remember you were the rb uploading king. you're slacking off. lol. in fact, you haven't uploaded gameplay of any kind for a while .----- Original Message ----- From: "Clement Chou" <chou.clement@xxxxxxxxx>To: <brandonslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 3:55 PM Subject: [brandon's list] Re: Rock Band: fur elise expert pro keysPro guitar works. The only problem being, the way I play half the songs in the game is completely different from the way the game charts it out, so I have to work it out again. lol. The fact that there are fewer frets doesn't help, either. But I like fiddling around with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yohandy" <yohandy85@xxxxxxxxx>To: <brandonslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 12:47 PM Subject: [brandon's list] Re: Rock Band: fur elise expert pro keysI wouldn't doubt it. they've been releasing all sorts of stuff. fur elise isn't the first sample I recorded. I also did turkish march. it's sort of unsettling when you get all into the piece then you hear some random overdrive sound. I was like wah? lol. and I doubt the keyboard's the only instrument with these problems. the pro guitar probably suffers from issues as well, seeing as it's a plastic button-based instrument. I don't play guitar, or even seen what it looks like, so I wouldn't know. have you tried it, and if so, what did you think?----- Original Message ----- From: "Clement Chou" <chou.clement@xxxxxxxxx>To: <brandonslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 12:05 AM Subject: [brandon's list] Re: Rock Band: fur elise expert pro keysVery nice sample... I can imagine how that would be hard to play on that keyboard. Yuck. lol. Although, it's very weird to hear classical piano in a rock band game... wonder if they'll start releasing classical guitar pieces. lol. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yohandy" <yohandy85@xxxxxxxxx>To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2011 8:28 PM Subject: [brandon's list] Rock Band: fur elise expert pro keysUgh. this song's harder than you think to play in rock band. gotta worry about 2 octave limitation, and the fact that there's absolutely no weight to the keys. in fact I can play it in real life just fine, but I butcher it in rock band. go figure. too bad I can't use my acoustic piano in the game... haha. anyway here you go.http://www.sendspace.com/file/4k5ilw
