How much does it lag?

Also, GH5 doesn't entirely suck.

Is it that it that the wiring to the jack is bad and makes it lag or is it that the drum pedal is crap?

Have you tried using something else plugged into that jack? Have you tried every kind of official RB guitar to ensure that it's a universal "problem" for all of them?

And anyway, is precision THAT important? Not to me. Normally I'd be tilting the thing to activate overdrive... I think a button with a little delay is more precise than that.

Plus if you know when you want to activate overdrive you can press in advance.

Precision is important for me not because I'm a master squeezer or anything but because the unpredictability of tilting is just one more thing I have to worry about. I know if I press the back button it's going to activate exactly there, so it's easier to control, plus I don't have to worry about doing it in advance.

This is why I myself would like a pedal. You might be able to hit the back button with ease, but it's a little more difficult for me and I'm likely to screw up trying to maneuver my finger onto that button.

Doing it "in advance" is like a fraction of second in advance though. As long as you're not one of those wacky "squeezers", pushing a pedal "in advance" shouldn't adversely affect your gaming experience.

if you aren't trying to squeeze the **** out of songs on the guitar it honestly doesn't matter whether you tilt it or hit the back button

speaking of guitar i haven't played it much since i bought rock band, but i've been doing alright, i decided to learn how to play right handed and i moved up to expert almost immediately. hard is ****ing easy, expert is ****ing impossible. but i'm hanging in there.

oh btw i made a bunch of drum videos, but the scores aren't very good since my drum pad/pedals are dying. the only one really worth it is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV5igrvZmro

I have noticed that the gap between hard and expert is ****ing huge. In GH2 I can five star Jordan on hard but when I play it on expert I can only 3 star it. The same thing is in rock band. Panic attack's opening riff is easy since there are less hammer-ons and pull-offs, but as soon as you put it to expert you lose it.

So I take it none of you dudes are interested in The Beatles, huh?

That's kind of lame.

In related news, I discovered both of my guitars somehow died without me using them, so I'm in the market for a new one. I'm doing my best to not splurge and get the badass wooden/metal strat. Have any of you used any of the Beatles-branded guitars available? Have any advice for a good, high quality guitar that doesn't cost 300 dollars?

I got it free.

It's not about how hard it is, it's about the experience. No joke.
