In the OD charts, there are notes in the big rock ending. How do you play those instead of the ending? Practice mode or someting?

Are you joking? How about 10 inches under this forum in the Overdrive FAQs section?

To the OP- I don't know the answer to your question. I'll look in practice mode when I get a chance.

Sorry, I'm not used to the Rock Band forum. I did use the search feature - nothing came up.

I think you try to hit thoose notes exactly in the ending, which will get you the most points.

Thats just what I think, just trying to help.

Im thinking its just there for a demo that we cant use or just so the cpu has something to follow when a person isnt playing those instruments.

Just like when you miss a big rock ending and you hear crickets.
I hear crickets on Vocal career because they just wont let me do a big rock ending, which I find odd.

The Big Rock Ending is the same in practice as it is in the real game. I've considered that hitting the exact notes would net you more points, but most people wouldn't see the charts for these songs and wouldn't know what to hit, which makes the most likely scenario being that the strat solo buttons are the best thing for BRE's on Guitar.

now this is just a shot in the dark, but maybe when someone fails during a song with 2 or more people, the charted notes are what the bass plays instead of the BRE. (because if someone fails, you apparently don't get the BRE).

Actually, you even get Big Rock Endings even if someone is unconcious at the end of the song.

As long as you make it to the end, there's a Big Rock Ending, and everyone plays it. Unconcious people get saved for them.

I read from someone official that the goal of the BRE is to have the note bar things always lit up and to strum as fast as possible. So I just strum fast and do full up and down scales the entire time if using the Les Paul, it's easier on the strat, just spam the fuck out of the solo buttons.

The reason for charted BREs, 90% confidence:

When a lane isn't lit up, it cuts out all notes of that color in the charted BRE as if you hadn't hit them in a non-BRE section. I haven't actually played a BRE where I hit 0 notes, but I think if you did it wouldn't play anything for your part (guitar/bass, anyway).

Short version: Charted BRE gives a non-score reason to keep all 5 lanes lit up.
