I think I’ve hit my peak in Rock Band in terms of guitar. I’m at a point where, if I were to get better, I’d have to actually practice the songs. And that’s just too much work for a video game. Instead, I’ve played enough that “playing” is natural and I can play by virtue of sight reading, but am being held back by lack of muscle memory and rhythm.
Recently, I have taken to learning the drums. I was at a point where I could pass drums on medium, and that’s how I got my Drum Legend achievement. But, because it was so easy, I didn’t enjoy playing drums! Now that I’m playing on Hard, it’s much more fun – but also too hard sometimes. My lack of rhythm and limb independence is really hampering my game (and I already incorporated these tips from Wired).
