It has now been almost a year since Rock Band arrived in the Lawrence household. While the original Rock Band is gone, Rock Band 2 is here. We are currently at around 200 songs available for rockin’.
That’s my guitarist at the right (click to embiggen). His name, is of course “Guitar Dad” and he is currently touring with my band, Crystal Log. And yes… I have over $42k in the bank to spend on some really cool clothes and instruments. (Although I think the guitar I currently own is freakin’ awesome!)
Over the last 6 weeks or so I have been working on playing songs on the guitar in “Hard” mode. Ooooo… The orange fret key… bring it on! It is difficult, and there are only three or four songs that I can get five stars on, but I’m getting there. And now when I go back to play in medium it seems really slow.
The equipment has been beaten up pretty good over a year. I’ve fixed two drum pedals. We even fixed the springs in the guitar when they broke. Went to Home Depot for the springs. An employee asked if he could help me find something and I said I was looking for little springs. He walked me over to where they were and asked what I needed them for. I told him I needed to fix a Rock Band guitar. “Really?”, he said. “Good luck with that.”
It’s keeping me entertained, but admittedly the novelty has worn off for other family members. But no matter, Crystal Log will rock on!
