  • rocksmith, works SOOO much better

  • Can you use any electric guitar or does it have to be that specific guitar for the game.

  • This is amazing.

  • The kid that don't wanna get down with drop d and just wanna have fun wont use this they will use the same old 5 button way of playing this is for PPL who wanna have more fun

  • The gameplay looks too much difficult and surreal... In my opinion, Rocksmith is better, cause it's more like a real guitar lesson, RB is more of a game...

  • why did they make the 'pro' guitar if you could just use the real rock band guitar

    (when I refer to the pro guitar I dont mean the real one, I mean the one with more buttons)

  • i bet steve vai will have perfect scores on this game.

  • @j0hn318 I bet Steve Jones won't xD

  • rocksmith is way better!!

  • He was actually playing the song pretty perfectly but the game wasn't recognising it LOL

  • Thats just like rocksmith but rocksmith is better

  • Hah! That comment about these games being "No Skill" is now obsolete

  • One of several types of electric guitar controllers available for the musical rhythm video game Rock Band 3 is a Squier Stratocaster that has been modified to include touch sensors in the neck of the instrument. It has a MIDI out port enabling it to be used as a regular MIDI controller outside of the game. (wiki)

  • I have a real E-Guitar and i want to connect it with rock band.. how do i connect the Guitar to my ps3 ?

    thank you :D

  • when i first heard of this is was like WTF how rediculous ( spelling fail ) can video games become?!?!!? playing the songs on rock band 3 are more fun playing them on a REAL guitar without having to look at a screen -_-

  • I just got Rockband 3 and a ps3 and need peeps to play with. ID: godaijin

  • This is dope.

  • Okay did I hear correctly, can you use any electric guitar on this?

  • @WhoDidYouSay nope

  • Harmonix is stupid because I doubt they thought of all of the left handed people! Seriously. They should have just stuck with the plastic crap. If people wanted to learn real guitar they would go buy one and take lessons/teach themselves. And what's with them removing the one on one battle mode. I think they should have kept that.

  • @MkFan1201 you are right about the lefty people, but this new pro mode is for people experienced with the guitar. this is not a learning tool, it is a game and practice tool now.

  • Soon We Will Play left 4 dead with a real apocalypse & rescues. no shit. lol

  • It can be used with any normal guitar and amp?

  • Well if it's a real guitar that you canm use to play then can you use a guitar you have... I'm just saying, that one's probably as expensive as anyone you buy just to play it...

  • Can you use your own guitar for this?

  • before advertising the product get some who actually knows how to play

  • come on people why hate a game thats trying to help you learn how to actualy play guitar?

    So you cant change tuning. If the tv is playing the sound the game can just pretend its drop d.

    as far as harmonics go. the way the pickup seems to work you have to push the strings all the way down in order for it to be read.

    The only reason ill be getting rocksmith instead is because im lefthanded not because i want to hate on new tech.

  • does anyone can explain to me how i will plug in my real guitar on the ps3 ? or how is this about ? i saw others trailers and they are playing with a Rock Band 3 Wireless PRO controler with no strings on the frets just a lot of bottoms per note honestly dont so cool like this stuff.

  • @Guerrerofast I didn't understand a single part of what you just said

  • @Guerrerofast uh WTF ?

  • thumb up if you recognize dio ;]

  • My favorite thing about this: it's a wakeup call to all the dipshits that think that the rockband controller is the same as a real guitar

  • Can't Rember his name?? CANT REMEMBER HIS FUCKING NAME????? It's just Vivian friggen Campbell, and you better remember it ;)

  • They took the fun out of this game.

  • i wonder if you can learn solos like waking the demon status?.....thats one of the hardest songs on the game wtf?....thats kinda sad...>.>...n u cant play pinch har monics...lame....do u even do songs with alternate tunings? drop d at least? if not is just a waste, id bet its much funnner to play with a backing track, n u may noe the songs, but what about improv....wheres the feel soul n emotion?...if u just play regular songs on a guitar and thats it ur just a weekend guitarrist..not a musician

  • @Rocker695 this isnt isnt metal edition, and some kid who wants to play a game doesnt wanna screw with drop d

  • @fizzlefresh14 dude come one im just saying, since many people were boasting how effective was to learn guitar with it, idk, i hoped it had things like that. whatever anyways....i have high hopes for another game though....rocksmith is it?....yeah whatever man

  • good bye ultimate-guitar-tabs!

  • @ilovebeez your crazy if you think that buddy

  • 2:22 epic fail

  • is there going to be rock band 4? or any other type of rock band game comming out soon?

  • everything is matched up soo its just like looking at a tab book or something of the sort

  • Can I plug in my guitar and play ?

  • @Ezro25theBEAST Check out Rocksmith, it's coming out in October and it comes with a cable that lets you plug your guitar in directly to your 360/PS3, looks amazing if you ask me.

  • Can I play this if I'm colorblind? It seems a lot more complicated than when I could just hit the notes by the horizontal position of it in relation to the instrument(rock band 2)

  • Ok to all the haters in this fucking comment section...

    Three months ago I had never picked up a guitar.

    Bought this game and guitar.

    Now i know how to play several songs, WITHOUT the game on my acoustic.

    So now I say, you learn your way, and we'll learn our way, just dont be pissed that we can learn it 64x faster than you.

  • This is a fucking stupidity!! If i want to play a guitar i'll play a real guitar not a fucking videogame!!!

  • @heavykart

    Yeah man, that's pure logic! If I want to practice sniping and shooting, I go to fucking afghanistan and don't play a stupid video game iike call of duty. Who needs racing games? Get into a fucking car!

  • If you buy a guitar and learn to play the right way, you'll not only have a great investment for the future but you'll be a player not a gamer. These trends crack me up, remember the Atari 2600, try to get a cup of coffee for your investment in that. It seems everybody is trying to change things, can't we just leave musicians to do what we do. Play on

  • @althedj Maybe some people want to be gamers? And I don't see how technology is a trend. I personally don't plan on going out and tending to the fields once this whole technology fad is over.

  • Surely this will improve your real-life playing skills !!

  • Why not but a fucking guitar, what a waste of time and money, there's no way anyone can play that on expert without years of guitar experience, I'm gonna stick to my real guitar in real life I think, instead of some dumb ass game :P

  • why the hell would you bother?? just learn guitar, it's how EVERYONE has done it for years.

  • Man this looks a lot harder than playing a real guitar wtf...

  • i have played guitar for 10 years...i played this last night. hardest thing ever.

  • You know, there is a line between realistic and fun. I was so frustrated because the numbers kept on blocking other numbers on Crazy Train and it was fun when I hit those extremely hard solos on GH or RB

  • I could play this...OR i could play a real guitar! The whole fun of these games was the random tiny 5 or 10 button guitar!!

  • this is more hard than real guitar XD

  • @AdamGabb5144 fuck off

    

  • First you all complain about the unrealistic old guitar controllers, now you complain about the realistic new guitar controllers, you guys never stop whining do you. Here is idea how about you play with the old guitar in regular mode, the pro guitar is pro mode for a reason, no one is forcing you to play it. lol i think its funny all those saying to get a real guitar when most of you probably haven't even tried to yourself.

  • I WANT THIS!

  • for everybody who dont play a guitar dont think u can play this directly:P just saying

  • Lol. I have real a real guitar. If I wanted to "rock out for real" I'd pick one up. That's what VIDEO GAmES are for. Dumb idea and I won't pay that much money for it. Only way I'll play is if price cuts in HALF.

  • i want they had a game like this but than for a bass guitar :(

  • Can u use a real guitar to this game instead of buying that guitar

  • holy shit i play electric guitar, i will get this game

  • are barr chords on the controller easier or harder then an electric guitar. what would you perfer a controller or use our own electric. and why isn't rock band 3 on ps2. are there any songs on the ds that arn't on the wii. and why isn't there any rock callenges on the ds. why does the guitar and keyboard tracks switched. please email me at rubix4x4@gmail.com to answer all these questions. or send me a Private message. whatever works for you guys

  • I'm sure the person who invented the musical keyboard, must have heard these same comments 1000 times. Why not play a real piano? idiot !!!

    

  • Can i play with my real guitar?Floyd Rose RockBand :))

  • @Runescapian69 Squier Stratocaster

  • Watch my gameplay: watch?v=EEjxcgSv7Xo

  • soon we will play cod whit real guns granets an covers LOL

  • @darkdude487 Dear God I hope English isn't your first language.

  • @Dom213 no english isn't mi first leanguge

  • @darkdude487 motion control airsoft guns!

  • @darkdude487 Soon you'll learn real spelling in school.

  • @darkdude487 what do you mean "WE" i'm not gonna play that crap.

  • Yup

  • so. does this include sweet child o mine?! damn. this ones stupid. still different if you learn to play the old way. more authentic than this!

  • i could never do this...:(

  • @qman327 of course :) Practice it :)

    Or use a keyboard^^

  • i prefer to get a good guitar than playing songs in front of my tv.

  • I like the game series Rock Band and Guitar hero, but this is bullshit, c'mon learn to play a real guitar is ridiculous and pathetic, LOOSERS....

  • also can you plug in your own guitar through midi?

  • can you use a normal rock band guitar? just wondering cause my little causing likes buttons XD lol

  • does it teach you how to tune the dang thing? cuz not all songs are tuned the same way, it would be kind of stupid to teach you the songs tuned the wrong way. or out of tune

  • can you buy the midi module to use on any guitar?

    

  • @Kawasicko if u can play wtf do u want somebody else to make the sounds? just get the backing track and play it for real..

  • @QSQCaito well the note system on rb is much easier than reading notes in any other way. and unless he really wants to play without the game, i'm pretty sure hes not going to memorize all the notes int the correct order

  • i can't understand, is he using a real guitar literally? as in real?? if i have a real guitar in my house can i just plug it in my guitar hero??

  • @orika001 - It is actually a Rock Band controller that looks right a real guitar with 6 strings instead of fret buttons.

  • @NejiHyuga900 ok thanks!

  • @orika001 - Oops, I said "right" instead of "like" :P

  • @orika001 That's actually a real guitar, even the new controllor can be used as a real MIDI guitar. So yes, you can use your own, real, guitar.

  • @bobel2007 false, hes using the squire Fender provided for this game, that squire has sensors under the fretboard.

  • @TheMrLuisC My bad, the next day I saw the Squire Strat controller especially made for RB3.

  • @bobel2007 np *manly hand shake*

  • this is another way to learn how to play guitar

  • All I will say is it's about friggin time ... More gaming should be geared toward realism or as close to realism as possible!

  • I swear to God I just heard Guitar Hero singing "Baby Come Back" outside my window...

  • eso es bien loco cuando sale genial

  • @MystogaN25 ummm.... because they will be?

  • @MystogaN25 Define "talent"

  • I thought about suggesting this a couple of years back. HAhaha, can't believe someone actually came up with it though. I like this, atleast, you can rack up points by playing a real guitar and not some color coded piece of plastic.

  • Rainbow in the Dark

    R.I.P DIO \m/

  • get a real guitar :P

  • I hope they put in some Dethklok, just to piss off Brandon Small (An amazing musician btw) Since he's heavy on copyright .-.

  • I hope expert mode is accurate :p be a fun way to learn songs,but I noticed no ones gonna be able to play solos as good cause the notes are garbled up with their fret numbers which is impossible to read that fast :p

  • if you already have ur own guitar can you use it?

  • @TheKilldo yes it is possible u just need to buy an adapter midi pro adapter (on the store u buy the game)and just plugg in and play , but the one guituar in the video is a real one as well it works as a real guitar and think its the same weight on this one , ( there are 2 different guitars one plastic and one real one i think )

  • as they also say in the video u can plug in it and play like a normal guitar in an box thing :D

  • @jesp91 An amp.

  • @SpartanElite095 yeah thats what i meant didn´t know the word :D

  • is it possibly to play with your own guitar?

  • @risingphoenix12 i hope so that would be sic to plug in a sg

  • what happens if a string snaps?

  • @James56816 You buy a whole new game and console. or wait till the new version comes out... duh? lol

  • @James56816 you replace the string

  • If it can be played with the controller and/or a real guitar, then the game will be better as it will suit better all different gamer's needs. Personally, I'd like the game had some kind of teaching course so I can learn to play real guitar, That would be nice.

  • People think this is stupid cause it uses a real guitar, and that people are idiots for buying this, I play guitar, and I know it can be boring practicing sometimes. Why not have a little fun and actually learn some songs you never heard of, in an interactive way to know how it sounds?

  • that's a real guitar? or a special for Rock Band?

  • @JeXuZ4 its an actual Fender Stratocasater or telecaster

  • @ShadowsOfLite

    yeah, don´t forget it´s modified, you can´t connect your own guitar to your PS3 and play the game with any guitar, just this one

  • @ShadowsOfLite Modified Strat, REAL strats are not exactly cheap. nor expensive.

  • When does this come out?

  • this is so stupid ...

  • its the best game of the simulators of guitars

  • I have a laggy video, did all of you other people get the lag?

  • CAN I PLG A DENDER STRATO?

  • finally a game for actual guitarrists.

  • can you use your own electric guitar?like not this pro one and not the one with the buttons just the real guitar\?

  • @mitsospower12 No. You have to get the official one from Fender. Reason being the guitar itself is what detects where your fingers are on the frets (you have to turn it on to get it to do so, it takes 3 AA batteries). Plus the way it hooks up into the system, it runs through a MIDI adapter and I know there are MIDI guitars out there but they are few and far between.

  • just watch the movie gamer..

  • finally, a music game that guitarists can actually own with

  • Check out my rock band vids!! Its my last ones until i get my rock band ION drumkit next week

  • what if the strings break?!

  • for anyone who is like play real guitar it is hard to learn and not fun to this is supposed to make it fun while learning it at the same time

  • it looks stupid. just play real guitar

  • so its pretty much introducion to tab

  • i don't get these people complaining, Hardcore GH/RB gamers hate the pro-mode except for drum i guess, and the Real Guitarist hate the idea that this will teach new people to play real guitar.... oh well humans always complain and not satisfied but good thing im both gamer and real guitar player so i enjoy this game alot.

  • they need to make a led zeppelin rock band for the real musicians because most of the songs on rock band 3 suck i'm not wasting my money on that shit

  • @JJBATEAST Or maybe you can stop complaining and get a real guitar to play led zeppelin songs for real.

  • @BrawlLegendSoaY i do have a guitar jackass thats why i think that the music sux on rock band 3

  • @JJBATEAST then dont play rock band 3

    simple as that

  • @BrawlLegendSoaY i wont until they make rock band led zeppelin or santana

  • @JJBATEAST

    You have a guitar, so you think the music sucks on Rock Band 3. So if you bought a car, would all the cars in Forza or Gran Turismo suck? If you bought some lego, would Lego Star Wars suck?

    You sir, are a moron.

  • @markmark111 good point and lego star wars are awesome thinking of that i might go buy some legos of something

  • um yea, i can't help but feel like the action on the guitar controller is gonna suck. The tuners will probably be an issue also.......

  • @Dmacattack93 its a squier everything sux on that thing especially the pickup

  • guitar hero se convirtio en una reverenda putisa!!! ahora si se la mamaron

  • is the neck made of wood or plastic????

  • @DDfilmsDD dont take my wood for it, the one they show, i think its wood, and the other one is plastic.

  • @SESbb30 I knew the button guitar was plastic but I wasn't sure about the other one.

  • Soon we will play NFS in real cars...

  • @hudsoneofnancy that would be awsome.

  • @hudsoneofnancy soon we will play Call of duty and Halo with real guns xD

  • man it would of been nice if the characters on the fuckin game could jump on the people! i guess we all have to wait for rock band 4 fuck!

  • where can u bye this :)

  • completely pointless

    

  • Can you use your own guitar (real guitar)?I mean is the a usb to guitar cable or something or do I have to buy a special plastic guitar with strings?

  • Don't You actually think that you can learn to play on a real guitar if you play this ? Those that actually already can say this is stupid but some people that cant play may think that this is challenging and etc. :D

  • I play real guitar and I don't see the point of this. I rather just play regular Rock Band and have fun or just play real guitar and also have fun. But playing rock band with a real guitar I don't know, it sounds stupid. It's like playing Gran Turismo inside a ferrari parked in a Daytona course and being able to actually drive there.

  • I got the MadCatz one this weekend and am loving the new pro mode. I started to play the guitar a few years ago but got bored with it before I got good. Hopefully this will keep me focused long enough to get the basic skills to pick up my old guitar and actually have fun with it.

  • THIS IS WHAT FREDDIEW DID WATCH HIS VIDEO "FUTURE ROCK BAND"

  • This is what killed the music game genre. THANK CHRIST. When it gets to the point of REAL instruments, what the hell is the point in calling it a game? Next up, fully functioning gun controllers for shooters?

  • Comment removed

  • OMG, They are turning Rockband into shit the whole point of this kind of games is giving the power to people that doesn`t know how to play a real guitar to play they favorites songs and feel you are the one playing the songs, but now you have to learn how to play a real guitar to play this game, BULLSHIT.

  • I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY TO PLAY "FURY OF THE STORM" IN THIS GUITAR !!!!!

    :3

  • this is so smart its not like i can read the buy a guitar print off notes and play the song for less money :D

  • i think im gonna stick to guitar hero....

  • @001johnzo you cant they stopped making it

  • Too teach people how to play guitar and if you already know it shows you how to play new songs

  • When these guys made the first Guitar Hero game, they didnt expect it to be popular at all... Look at them now.

  • true!

  • Create a game to simulate playing the guitar only to then actually play an actual guitar... I don't get it, what was the point of it all?

  • @Omanaite if you grew up with Guitar Hero and don't play real guitar for shit, while playing Rock Band you are actually playing the guitar while playing the game. Guitarists always took the shit on Guitar Hero because it's not realistic, it's a toy... Now when someone makes this simulator people don't get it.

    Why do you want a car simulator if you can just DRIVE your car? Same thing.
