Well, I turned the bass pedal backwards so I could hit it with my heel and finally made it past GGaHT on Medium. That had been killing me for so many tries. Of course, I still didn't do it gracefully and ignored the bass pedal for whole sections, but at least I'm on to the next tier now and should be able to play through at least a few more songs before I hit another roadblock.

Your next roadblock should be Run to the Hills. I started playing in Quick Play and scorched everything but that.

God, I'm so angry. Something clicked on GGaHT for me, and I was just nailing the solo (well, as in, not losing immediately and catching overdrive at the right time). Then I hit the final section of triplets with overdrive 3/4ths full and lost it as I was trying to tilt the guitar. 95 damn %, when I had enough to finish. Bah!!

I may be in the minority because I actually like the Strat better than my GH Les Paul. The Strat is larger and just seems more comfortable to play. My hands don't seem to cramp after just a few songs like on the Les Paul and I don't miss the click of the strum bar at all.
Now if only the tilt for Overdrive would work. That was the one thing the Les Paul had on the Strat but my Les Paul has been acting up on that as well lately. The Les Paul just goes into Overdrive by itself while the Strat has to have the Back button pushed to get it.
DUMB Rock Band question of the evening: On the guitar strap, which end does the adjustable doubled area go...top or bottom of the guitar?

Agreed. The Rock Band guitar is amazing, IMO...ten times better than any guitar released so far.
Still no official word on tomorrow's DLC?

On a DLC note, I've been looking at the RB forums all day, and no announcement has come like it did last week. Hoping something hits tomorrow despite all the mess with XBL.

I like the feel of the RB guitar, I just wish it weren't a piece of crap. I got my replacement, and either I suck or the replacement is just as bad. Tilt sensing seems to be even worse, and I notice no improvement on the fast repeat notes. The only other guitar I have is the GH2 PS2 guitar, which does me no good since I have RB for the 360.
The tip the loading screen gave about "keep your foot down on the drum except when you need it" helped me a lot.

How much hard drive space do each of the downloadable tracks take up? I got a 360 Pro for Christmas and was debating whether or not I should upgrade to the Elite for the larger hard drive if I wanted to download a bunch of Rock Band stuff.
