    I learned from this after 1 try to not fail instantly you need to make sure you have index on green

    Would submit score, but my guitars going on the blink.
    Already did the fix that went around ScoreHero when the Schecter strum guitar came out, so my warranty's voided.

    Erm, I'll try to get it fixed but for the moment, I'm Drums/Vox only.

    Oh christ. Please don't ever listen my suggestions again. I have a slight RSI problem with my hands and wrists at the best of times but I didn't make it to the first chorus before my fretting hand gave out. I'll have another go later but this is looking like a "did not finish" for me :(

    On the upside, as a side effect of interrupting my challenge attempt, I'm posting on boards in my pants :D

    Edit :
    OK, I manned up and grew a pair. I wish I hadn't. Only had one go at it but once was enough to know I'm an idiot.
    Banjo - Hard/3*/35,097/87%/72NS

    If anyone out there is thinking of trying this, if you remember one thing let it be this. After the first chorus you'll think "hey, I'm getting the hang of this!". That's fine. But for god's sake don't start using the whammy bar, trust me. Especially if you have a low hanging lampshade or there're tall glasses near by.

    Well done Banjo. I liked this challenge. Playing in the ol' boxers was particularly funny :P

    No it's definitely an on disc track from RB2, you may not have unlocked all the songs yet. If not either use the cheat (you have to do every time) Or play through the challenges in tour mode, that is the quickest way by far. (learned this after starting again on a new save and new xbox :( )

    Cool, I'm on the other continent now anyway, should be too long to unlock it, and good choice of song too :)

    Journey- Any way you want it- Drums

    This one is fairly challenging on expert drums but nothing too bad so ye should be fine. Ask if you want some advice on a section, I'm happy to oblige :)

    Usual rules apply

    Remember, we welcome all difficulty levels, requests for advice and tips for other people, so don't feel you're not good enough to do this, that isn't the aim of these things at all. The challenges are for having some fun and improving your game.

    Damn my lack of drumming practice :mad: went down to hard after some miserable results on expert which on the + side involved riding the red to the end, but that didnt help as the same problem remained on the lower settiing, it's the bass drum, it's off beat on this one no ? Screws me up every time :(

    Think I haven't played enough RB this week too , damn Darksiders is to blame for distracting me lol

    The pedal is really the only reason this one is challenging, I like it makes the song much more interesting. I haven't played it in a while though so I'll get back to you with some advice after I've given it a run.

    Ye i found this too. Hard is difficult cause the bass pedal has a difficult beat to what im used to anyway. Its funny cause the hands are doing one thing (mainly correct) but the feet just can't get used to the pedal and so fail not too long into the song. Medium on the other hand is alot easier as the pedal beat is normal. I'll have a score up soon enough, more practicing required......:rolleyes:

    Always have that problem! My hands and feet don't work together!

    I got a second pedal for the faster kicks, but in an odd section I can't get to grips with it (without practice)

    Haven't unlocked this song yet but will do soon and get some score going for my first challenge :)

    Sorry lads. I asked for the song and im last to post a score. Was away in portugal for a week and didn't get a chance to do so beforehand. I know the score isn't the best, but i didn't get a chance to try the hard level properly. I did have a go of hard, ran into the red a few times and couldn't play due to cramp (stupid i know) and failed with 3% to go.

    Here it is:
    Medium/5*/63,624/98%/176NS
