Not sure how many people are getting this, but I know I definitely am.

 

They added a new future where you can actually play REAL guitar, like the expert mode on their new pro guitar is playing the real guitar the way the musician would in real life, its really pretty incredible

They added a key board too which is [expletive]ing AWESOME

 

Wrap your head around this one: a 150-button guitar peripheral. That's for the pro version of Rock Band 3, whose goal is to actually turn the controllers into something more fitting of actual musicianship in a separate, more advanced "Pro" mode (the core game is still intact for those want it). First up is the aforementioned two-octave keyboard / keytar, whose difficulty goes from pressing within one of five ranges to actual dead-on notes. For drums, the three cymbals can now actually function as separate notes, sharing three lanes but given their own shape to know which to hit. Guitar, however, is a whole new beast. A $150 Fender Mustang pro (pictured up top) boasts 17 frets and 6 strings of accurate placement for a total of 102 buttons, and six nylon strings that must be plucked individually. Of course, if that hits the uncanny valley of plastic peripherals too closely, there's a Rock Band 3 Squier Stratocaster that'll be coming out that can actually be used as a real guitar or a Pro model. Vocal melodies from Beatles Rock Band carry over here. No concrete release date; head on over to new Joystiq for the preview, or if you want to see true trendsetters, watch Devo predict this game all the way from 1982 -- that video's after the break.

 

 

For the new guitar mode, watch a real guitar player butcher lkr's favorite song

I personally cannot wait to get this, looks so awesome, only problem for most will be the $150 pricetag on the new guitar, which not need RB3 is compatible with the original guitar as well, but it really adds to the experience

 

thoughts?

I have the game and it's pretty fun. I need just one more cymbal to be able to play pro drums, though I'll probably get the guitar sometime later down the road when I get some extra cash. For right now though, I just play guitar until I move out from apartments, then I'll be playing drums more.

Once you get the 2nd symbol do you think you can play any of the songs on expert?

I'm able to play 90% of all Rock Band songs on expert. As for Pro expert, I think I'll be able to manage through a good amount of them on drums. Plus, I've got over 500+ songs.
