Rock Band 3 - Piano Man (Expert Pro Keys 98% 5 Stars)

This is probably my new favorite Pro keys song. It's not horribly difficult to play (it feels like a slower Somebody to Love, with both hands charted), it's incredibly satisfying to play well, and it's one of the best songs ever written. If you like playing Pro keys, there is no way you can go without this.

I tried really hard to get gold stars on this song, but I could never do quite well enough and always missed at least one OD. This is my best performance here.

one more thing, u no how in the song u hav to slide over to a diffrent color? well do u hav to do that or is it altomatic?

[SoundDefenseRB]

@XingThePanda123 that happens automatically. It'd be a bit unfair to make the player do that, since you don't shift a real piano over when you're playing it.

[XingThePanda123]

hey guys, i play a real piano and know this song. is it very difficult cuz im getting a keyboard. plz reply.

[SoundDefenseRB]

@XingThePanda123 Pro keys in general is one of the hardest instruments, but if you know this song on actual piano it's worth your time to try and figure it out on Rock band. It's a lot of fun and it shouldn't be aggravatingly difficult.

I've been playing Billy Joel on real piano for over 15 years, and I think it would take me a very long time to figure this out on Pro Keys. It's nothing like a regular piano. What's your advice on tackling this, SoundDefense?

[SoundDefenseRB]

@vincentc010 I tackled this song the same way I tackle every Pro keys song. I take it into practice mode and do one section at a time, slowing it to 70% so I can identify the keys, then practicing the fingering until I got it down pat (mostly).

@framk20SH Sling us a web, you're the Spiderman

@veritasisacerbus A few bass notes are shifted up an octave to squeeze them up to the right hand stuff and liven the chart up. It's not the complete 2-hand chart though. You never play two chords simultaneously on pro keys like a real pianist.

Your Really good :)

i just got my keyboard yesterday. and being an expert gtr player i thought, ahh it ll be easy il pick it up. Im on medium lol, and im finding it hard. so im in AWE of this guy right now,.. good job!

[TouYube67]

Why does the singer look more like billy idol than billy Joel?

[demidevil0]

And i know must buy guitar hero 3.

[veritasisacerbus]

are both hands charted? I have the song but its hard to tell

[twigirl31197]

You're a very good sight reader...that's all i can say.

[bobtheman1y]

How do you tell if both hands are charted or not?

[007guy19]

Looks ungodly fun. I wonder why Journey hasn't gotten into this; I would love to see Faithfully and Don't Stop Believin' as songs on here. Epic synth parts and all.

@XingThePanda123 BOO GH.
