@tomvars Wow, nobody's answered yet? If you're still wondering--yes, there are hammer-ons and pull-offs in game, but only for specified notes. It needs to detect strumming for the vast majority of things to register, much like classic Guitar Hero-styled play.
After picking up my real guitar last night, I was following this video's guitar chart with my guitar, within an hour, I could play this song. I didnt practice the solo (yet, played the 3 main chords during it) or the arpegiations (played the stright chord during it), and I got the song down. I can play this efficiantly. Just need to work on my fretting.
Im definantly picking up the Squire stratocaster this next spring for Rock Band 3
@SpeedOfThought7 hey man how well does actual guitar skill translate? ive been playing guitar for half my life and i never liked guitar on rb or gh because it was nothing like the real thing. i assume its gotta be pretty similar. but are there any songs that u already knew how to play on the real guitar that u could just go right into the game and play?
@TurboNeon185 I'm not Speed Of Thought, but I have the game, pro guitar and keyboard. I've played guitar on and of for a few years now, and I knew the main stuff from Smoke On The Water, which was one of the first songs I ever started learning and playing.RB3 has it, so I went in and played it. The rhythm was spot on for me, because I usually either play in standard or drop D tuning. However, Harmonix had to shorten the solo on the frets since the Mustang made by MadCatz has only 17 frets on it.
@TurboNeon185 But, there will be another Pro guitar on its way and released by early March coming up, and it will have a full set of 22 frets to use. And the game will fix the solo note charts so you can actually play the real solos. That guitar will cost $100 more, but what would you expect for a real guitar that is modified. And for a Fender, that is not bad at all for pricing.
I don't really care what songs u do, just pls make more vids ur really cool! Btw can u make a pro bass vid cuz I play bass and I want to see the chart thx
@BravoGangUS08 Agreed, but since a capture card is kinda expensive, maybe a 2nd (phone)camera that points to your guitar and edit it in to the bottomright? :D
Wow. i'm watching your strings move to see if you're hitting the correct strings and thats amazing how you're hitting each one accurate. When i play i always hit the strings around it by accident. Just shows how epic you are at guitar.
I'm so used to watching your pro guitar videos that I've become accustomed to seeing the pro guitar charts to a point where seeing the 5 lane colored button chart is weird for me. I can't wait to get my hands on a pro guitar, and I'm more than willing to deal with the learning curve and the tutorials because I do seriously want to learn guitar and I think this game could be an excellent first step to actually playing
Only thing to improve really on these videos would be splitscreen with hands. Maybe get a capture card or second camera to record hand and gameplay simultaniously. Then upload s**tloads of gameplay. Success guaranteed.
WE CAME HERE TO SEE THE SONG NOT TO LISTEN TO YOU PLUG YOUR BAND! Nah that's cool and great video :)

I wish they had an option to just play some standard tabs using the six strings instead of the weird shapes that make up the chords.

@JPM2875 i just hate how overpriced it is.$150 dollars!!!! such a rip off.

@ReaIized Not really, IMO. Real guitars cost a lot more than $150, and this is a lot like playing real guitar.

@rocknrolldude3212 not all guitars cost over 150 dollars there are a lot out there cheaper than 150.
