If you were on my list and playing, you likely got one 
I didn't discriminate, and since you'd be up near the top of the list thanks to the alphabet you should've got one.
And pinata - i also do some sExpert drums, depending on the setllist

I've been switching back and forth from guitar/drums/vox while on local tour. Going for the Road Dog (all venues played) achievement at this point.
I haven't yet played an xbox live tour. And I've done just one score duel battle.

Holy crap, that sucked! Time to revamp my DS WiFi list generator program.
I think it's all the way up-to-date with the info in this thread. I did some best guesses and erred on the side of easier if you seemed on the cusp of a difficulty level.
Let me know if I've messed you up already or if you need to be added.

Quick question about being added to the list of band members on page one.
Playing alone, I am doing the expert tour. I'm nearing a million fans, hardly ever fail, etc..., Most songs I do pretty good on, between 85-95%, but sometimes I rough it through or barely make it to the end (depending on the song). I have the most trouble with single-note strings that also hop around with chords, like Going Mobile.
Would I still be considered an 'expert' player? I haven't played hard except for the impossible challenge. I have all songs unlocked/played. I'd like to be added to the list on page 1 please.
Tag - SOFA KIN WHAT
Guitar - Expert (I think)
Bass - Expert

see - that's the thing... I play expert from time to time and am working my through things as I play, but I am busting through on Hard to unlock all the songs then attempt in expert. I'll play anything on hard, and some on expert. So I guess I'm a hard player 
But if i was in politics, I'd totally be expert.

Hi Pinata! You can add me as an expert vocalist. Band name is Trashy Lingerie. :-) I'm out of town a lot but if I'm playing Rock Band, I'll be singing. :-)

Like I replied to L&O's invite, it was late for me, (and I was playing with my wife) so I wasn't sure how much longer I was going to be playing. And I normally only do Medium on Guitar/Bass.
I can do some songs on Hard Guitar/Bass, but it can be hit or miss... I have even done a couple songs on Expert... thought I think that may have been Bass only...
My comfort zone is Medium, so if you want me to do anything on Hard or Expert, then expect to keep your bitching to yourself if and when we do fail...
I plan on slowly working my way up to getting my comfort zone to Hard... but damn that Orange button to hell...

There's not really a hard-lined rule as to what the difficulty means. As I said before I tended to err on the side of lower if you said you could handle hard and some-most expert. It really doesn't matter other than to give people an idea what to expect.
Besides, in a band setting you can do better than solo because you can use other people's OD to bring you back up as well as save you.
It doesn't really matter and the information might be best left off. But, I'll put whatever you want. In the case of guitarists, I tried to put the lower end of the scale on the guitar and the upper on the bass. But it's completely arbitrary.

But if i was in politics, I'd totally be expert.As for expert guitar, I am, 90% of the time, a down strummer. Take it for what it's worth. There are a handful of on disc and dlc songs that I haven't passed because of this. I'm getting better at strumming up and down for certain songs, but you can imagine how tired my arm was after that Dylan song.
I'd like to give people warning ahead of time that I did not and will not be exporting my RB1 songs.

Playing on expert drums, if it's a song that I can't pass, it's difficult to drop down to hard. I'm used to the rhythm and timing on expert because you are, in effect, playing the song as it was meant to be played. So dropping down, I find myself playing notes that are supposed to be there, but are actually removed to lower the difficulty level.
I do that even if I haven't played the same song on expert. I'll throw in the extra kick that's really there fairly often.

Damn cartman, except for Alive, that 4 song set you picked for my turn at lead was tough, especially since the last 3 were sight reads! @#&*@
I need to unlock those harder songs so I can learn them better. Let there be Rock was a blast.

Geez, I thought I only put one real toughie in there . The others (especially Pinball Wizard) just have an odd rhythm that you get used to. It was nice to gold star a good chunk of what we played, especially Everlong, Tangled up in Blue, and Let There Be Rock.
