For those fiddling around with this in the ‘pre-playtest’ state, I found the time to complete a first pass on Expert Guitar:

As anticipated, given the overlapping mess of guitar takes in the refrain and outro, the ending solo gets quite hard to hear in parts! It looks like I may get extra-ambitious and get out my (real) guitar and double the second solo so that it’s obvious that’s the part that’s charted!

Fun little solo, though.

MFX: on the intro (X), why the double RED (open D) each time? I think that is one longer sustain note, not two notes.

I’ve got Pro X charted up to the FINAL SOLO, have not play tested anything yet. BASS is done.

by the way, this is ready for the playtesting thread.

please have someone like Nyx review your tempo map… seems weird.

Ah, didn’t know you were that eager! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

Well, almost: I hadn’t touched Bass for a while, so I wanted to give it one last check before sending out the X charts to people. I also did some tweaks to the Guitar chart, so you’ll have to compare that to Pro, too.

MFX: on the intro (X), why the double RED (open D) each time? I think that is one longer sustain note, not two notes.

No, distinctly two notes in the beginning. Well, actually sometimes it’s almost coming across as *three* notes before the drums kick in: one of the guitar tracks may throw in an extra pick or perhaps an early pull-off, but I decided to keep it to two notes for consistency.

Now, when the Bass takes over that same riff in the middle section before the first solo, *that* is one longer sustain note as you expected

I’m pretty darn confident about this tempo map, though. The weirdness that you might have been noticing could be in the choruses where the high notes of the descending single note guitar line was charted a 1/16 late each time, which was wrong Wrong WRONG of me! Should’ve checked it against the ReaSynth clicking, but it was only a first draft…

Not that we won’t want to get more ears on this, as Nyx is quite welcome to take a crack at it, but wait for the next version to see if you still think it’s wonky. For me, if I can play drums to it by audio only while looking away and still maintain combo, that’s gotta be pretty accurate.

I guess maybe I’d drop another marker at M55.1, where it’s maybe 30 ms early. Other than that, it looked fine.

Heh, dudes, why so serious? ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” /> And here I was approaching this as a lazy summer project! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

Ah, I can definitely hear that one now that you pointed it out. I’ll give the whole thing another looksee before releasing to playtest.

EDIT: Oooh, and M47+ as well. Yeah, apologies, I guess I was a bit overconfident! I’ll look for others.

Aww, I miss our old regular RB nights. Enjoy, you crazy kids!

If we could play customs online I would totally buy XBL and do a C3 Rock Band Friday.

I guess someone can lock up this thread, then!
