I still haven't been able to complete that passage perfectly, but at least I'm sort of hitting the majority of notes. Now getting my ass kicked by hard mode... Yeah your tips really helped.

Also, did you ever manage to nail that one passage of the solo? I was playing earlier today and actually failed the bloody thing right there. I guess I'm out of practice on four-note decents or something. Particularly embarassing because my last attempt netted me 5 stars. That passage really is the difference between stunning success and utter failure for me, depending on the run.

You just had to ruin everything! :P I agree with you on the Rock Band guitar. I'm intrigued by the extra buttons, but it also looks AMAZING. Damn you Miffy! You just had to ruin everything! :P

Free Bird is actually the only song that gets personalized loading messages. (apart from the bonus songs, which each have one loading message and that's it) When it's loading up for its first go of the song, it asks you if you want to play the encore. Then it asks if you're sure. Then one more time. Confirming all three times prompts the game to say "Man, you must really like Free Bird..." After that, it'll throw that message in sometime when you're playing Free Bird in Quick Play or again in carreer mode. Other specialized intros are "FREE BIIIIIRD!!!!" and "You're looking for "Solo A" in practice mode..." Gotta agree about Rock Band though. Today's big reveal that there are an extra 5 buttons near the base of the neck specifially for crazy solos makes the game completely irresistable to me.

It's what makes a game feel more alive. Kinda like Metal Gear Solid 3 - every action has a reaction (e.g: steal their food, soldiers go hungry; throw rotten food around, they eat it and get sick).
