Your review makes it seem as if Rock Band is part of the GH series, which it isn’t. I’m really excited to try out the Rock Band drums, I hope they can take a beating.

I heard the fret buttons lower on the neck were for solos, and that they’d be mostly hammer-on hammer-offs.

I also like the fact that they ‘lowered the visibility’ of the colored frets, more realistic in my opinion.

I don’t really like guitar hero all that much, maybe I’m just not a guitar guy, drums may be interesting though.

I haven’t seen anyone mention the fact that the new guitar’s buttons aren’t colored on the front anymore. According to the pictures on the article, only the sides of the button are colored. I could see this deterring new players. When I first started playing, I was always looking up at the neck to see which fret I was on. I think lowering the visibility of the fret could make it a tad more difficult.

On another note, though, I’m glad they did put in the buttons further down the neck. I can see that making really fast parts a good bit easier, and not to mention more realistic.

Yeah, I haven’t heard anything about the bass yet either. I’m guess it’ll be similar to the guitar but larger, or it’ll be like a basic guitar hero guitar.

And yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how exactly they do the drums. I read it’ll have like 4 pads/drums. Left most being snare while the other 3 depend on the song (I think), and a pedal! Will also include wood drum sticks.

This thing is gorgeous! I believe the drum controller will actually come with a kick pedal! Is this guitar controller going to double for the bass controller too? I haven’t heard anything about the bass yet and if it uses the same controller as the guitar, that’s kind of boring imo!

Very nice, can’t wait to see the other instruments. Seems so far like it’ll be a pretty cool game
