All the NIN songs are great 
Drums are gonna be a real bitch on March of the Pigs and The Perfect Drug
The only thing that's odd is the guitar plays some piano parts in March of the Pigs and The Collector. They aren't long parts, but it's just weird to be playing piano on your guitar.

Tiering for the tracks is up. Gonna wait until vids until I see all three up on Youtube, which may not be until later tonight. Here's a taste for later though.

Got my copy from the Amazon DotD. No drums yet, but two guitars (Les Pauls, thankfully) and a microphone is enough to tide us over for now.
Things went a lot more smoothly when I calibrated manually to compensate for the whopping 100 ms audio delay. The number is even more surprising since my GHII and GHIII offsets are both 0 ms. No biggie though, since it is adjustable. The manual calibration is 10x better than on GHII and GHIII.
The HOPO indicators on the other hand...

Is there any way to use the same character for solo mode on all three instruments? I'd rather not have three identical characters, just named something different.

Some important DLC patched songs info:
Hey everyone,
A few songs we have released for DLC have been patched. The patches are live already on the 360, and go live on PS3 on the 28th. Online play/leaderboards/ranking are not affected by this. To get the updated DLC songs you can re-download them (directions at bottom of post). You won't be punished for not downloading them again, however, as the fixes have no effect on gameplay.
The following songs have incorrect genre tags which cause them to be lost when sort by genre in-game:
Title/Launch Date
“Can’t Stand Losing You” 20-Nov
“Roxanne” 20-Nov
“Synchronicity II” 20-Nov
“Police Pack 01” 020-Nov
“Brass in Pocket” 18-Dec
Also there was a bug where the vocals wouldn’t turn off when the user put them the whole way down but this has been fixed now! -
“Limelight” 1-Jan
How to re-download-
Xbox 360
Navigate to the System Blade ( purple ), select memory, all devices, games, Rock Band, search for any of the listed songs (right trigger is a page down ), select the song with the A button, and then select Delete.
Now either re-download from marketplace, or from the download history.
PS3
The songs won't appear in the store if you've already downloaded them, so you will need to re-download them from your download list.

I got my replacement guitar today. I still cannot consecutively hit a string of fast notes very well. I got 5 stars on practically all medium songs, and am about 13 songs into hard and cannot get 5 stars on the fast songs with long strings of the same note because it kills my multiplier when I get to them. Whats the tips to hit these? I've tried strumming fast down and doing down/up strum and cant seem to hit them. Oy...
