I have compiled a list of the varying difficulties for each song on

each instrument, as well as youtube links to all songs on Expert

guitar.
This information is gathered from the tracks that I own, with the

gaps being filled in from other various sources. If anyone has

any of the missing information, PM me and I'll get it thrown in

here.

I have put them into spoiler sections per L&O's request, as well

as to keep this first page uncluttered.

The format for the difficulties is:
Guitar/Bass/Drums/Vocals/Band

However, if there are only three numbers listed, that means I do

not own that DLC or haven't found the info listed anywhere else,

therefore, the format is:
Guitar/Drums/Vocals

Currently Available DLC:

Announced DLC:


If there's anything I can do to clean this up or make it overall a

better resource, please let me know.

Liver&Onions

Cool - can you stick them in spoiler tags to help cut back on the clutter?

Spiderbite

Should this thread be #3 and not 2.1?

Anyway...a quote from the last thread:

I am the exact opposite. I hate, HATE, playing sloppy just to get past a song. I feel like I have to at least 4 star everything and if I wasn't happy with my performance, I go back and do it again. Sloppy playing just sound so crappy...I personally can't stand it. Guess that is why I will never be able to play Expert for the rest of my life.

On a different note, my three year old wanted to play drums the other day while I was playing guitar or singing. He kept failing out of course and he was too far gone to save him every time. I tired to get both of us on practice mode so he wouldn't fail out and both of use could play but every time I went to practice mode, it would only let one instrument play.

Was I looking at it wrong or can only one instrument practice at a time? I couldn't find where we could practice together.

Shagrath

I hadn't planned on embedding them, but just providing straight links. If you'd still like me to spoilerize things, I'm okay with that. Just let me know.

And the award for best recap of the year goes to . . .

flashburn

Seriously, that is priceless, and true!

Liver&Onions

That works too. I assumed you'd embed.

DVDChris

I think only one instrument can practice at a time. That is kinda dumb, afterall this is Rock BAND.

aktick

I wish there was just a freestyle drum mode...so I could just pound away to my own beat. It'd be an easier way of relieving some stress from the day than having to play a certain song.

Michael Corvin

just one little thing that would have put it over the top.

Michael T Hudson

Got my guitar yesterday. I put in the request on Saturday night. Pretty quick turn around. I was unable to get the top part off of the old guitar so I just let it stick out of the top of the box. The new guitar seems to work better but I think I still like the les paul better.

eatntae

I wasn't sure what to do about it, so I called EA/Rock Band support and the CSR told me to unscrew the back of the top of the guitar so I could get it off. I was afraid that if I left it on and it broke during transit, I'd get blamed.

Shagrath

The box I got was large enough to fit the whole guitar in with the top part still assembled. It even had a cardboard and foam cutout inside to place the guitar in.

flashburn

When they sent me the replacement guitar it included a note about packaging up the old one and it said that the one you ship back will be sticking out of the inner box and that is fine.

My replacement guitar is finally shipping this time. After 2 1/2 weeks, and it not showing up, they put in another request for me. I checked UPS today, and this time it shipped to me. They said I don't have to ship back the broken one. I'm thinking I'll take it apart and see if I can fix the strum problem myself. If I get it working, it's a free guitar for me. If not, it works fine if you want to upstrum only on a bass part.

The Bus

Can we call it "3" or "Part 3" --- these version numbers are a pain-in-the ass later on.

Also, just have this for a link to songs in the game. It will be updated much quicker than anyone here could manage. Plus, it saves you time.

The Bus

Yeah, I straddle octaves I guess. (Don't know if that's a legit term). In my "normal" singing voice I can hit the top half of the notes, but I can't seem to go lower. I actually need to go "higher" to hit the bottom half. It's weird.

RichC2

I knew I forgot something

Yeah, what dumbass doesn't comply with numbering standards. 2.1? It isn't software version controls, OP, you tardass.

aktick

Quoted for truth.

Michael T Hudson

I did not find any instructions in my packet. I need to go drop the package off at the UPS store.

Ghym

OK, my guitar replacement story gets better. The original request I put in 2 1/2 weeks ago, and was supposedly cancelled, just showed up at my house today. They put in a new RMA order for me the other day. That order is showing it will be delivered tomorrow. When they made this second RMA, they said I didn't have to worry about sending the broken one back, and they weren't putting the hold on my credit card. I don't see the hold on my credit card from the first RMA anymore, but I think I'll probably send the broken one back anyway. I mean, what am I going to do with 3 guitar controllers? At least it looks like I got a free one out of the deal. Hopefully both of these work better.

The Bus

Crack her open and see if you can fix it.

RichC2

Thanks for the title fix

Liver&Onions

Anytime.
