    This monday was my 18th Birthday and my dad pre-ordered me the RB3 keyboard bundle and I can't wait to get it. My dad plays piano for a living. He's been playing for over 40 years and he want's me to learn how to play too. I took lessons for 6 years and quit and forgot pretty much everything but I've been practicing lately. I Love Rock Band and I think this is the best setlist yet so I am so excited to get my hands on this game.

    Chris, you're not supposed to lift your entire hand off the keyboard and bring it back down to play each individual note...

    I probably won't buy it, simply because I know Reach will hold my attention for at least 3 years, but I'll be really interested to try the keyboard at a friend's house.

    I see the Screaming Trees and the setlist board, one of the greatest grunge bands ever.

    The difficulty of it actually looks like being able to see which keys the scrolling bar is referring to, i struggled to see that just on this video.

    Considering ive played piano for 13 years (since I was 8, work out my age from that maths fans!), this isn't really for me anyway, I was just interested to see how they approached it.

    I'll probably be getting the keyboard bundle with the game.

    Still not interested in pro mode (for any instrument). I can already play an instrument IRL and don't feel like shelling out just to play certain songs (as good as the majority of them are)

    I'll be getting Rock Band 3 and I'm looking forward to the new Fender guitar so I can play pro-mode. But I don't think I'll be getting the keyboards anytime soon. I just can't buy a new guitar AND a keyboard.
