REAL Guitar with the Fender Squier Pro-Guitar for Rock Band 3 at E3

HMXers Sylvain Dubrofsky and Bryn Bennett cheer me on as I attempt to "re-learn" playing Rock Band, except on a REAL guitar, the Fender Squier Stratocaster. It's beautiful, and if you ever wanted to get a real guitar, you HAVE to own this thing. I'll be doing a full write-up on this and the MadCatz Mustang Pro-Guitar controller over on the site very soon!

The Mustang Pro guitar is available in stores now, and the Squier guitar will be available for pre-order on January 1, 2011, for release on March 1, 2011 at $279.99. More details: http://www.rockbandaide.com/9550/rock-band-fender-squier-official-price-relea...

this is sorta crap but thats what i think

because it was better to hold down buttons in the first place now you have to bar down hole fretts to play a note

[RockBandAide]

@The911SONIC You can still play the same 5-button guitar on EVERY old and new song released for Rock Band. The Pro-Guitar mode in Rock Band is for select new songs. If you don't want to play real guitar, you can still play the same thing you've always been used to.

@TheGhandis Have you seen PowerGig? It doesn't teach you ANYTHING about playing a real guitar. Rock Band 3 actually teaches you how to play real guitar.

@rockout102 No, you'll only be hearing about the good ones that have been playing for a few weeks and can already play circles around you. It's funny, I've interviewed members of Guns N Roses, Ozzy Osboure, and more, and all of them think this is a great idea. But once again, you have nothing in common with talented musicians. Have fun losing your high school's Battle of the Bands contest.

@RockBandAide well so y les paul dosnt fit but i have a friend with a squier i going to stole it muahahahahaha

lol

[RockBandAide]

@Jasaxos Um... OK.

[RockBandAide]

@hayqdueleymucho I think you mean the MIDI adapter. It is required to use the Squier, but not essential for using the Mustang. The MIDI adapter also lets players use their own MIDI-capable drumsets and keyboards in the game, but the only two officially supported options for guitar/bass are the Mustang and Squier.

[Jasaxos]

@RockBandAide exactly.

[hayqdueleymucho]

@RockBandAide yes the mini adapter

[RockBandAide]

@hayqdueleymucho There is no adapter. The only guitars you can use in Rock Band 3's Pro Guitar mode is this one (Fender Squier) or the Mustang.

[hayqdueleymucho]

that adapter fits with an epiphone les paul???

i dont think it but i hope that

@Jasaxos What does easy have to do with price?
