Playing three instruments at one time

you could probably do silver really easily if you do drums on easy, geetar on anything, and vox on anything. don't even hafta play drums and you pass.

but if you could make some kind of setup with a way to trigger red pat with a left foot pedal. you could probably do drums +gtr/bass better bcuz u usually only need to hit reds and bass if u drum on easy
just a thought

I managed to do 29 fingers on medium with Guitar drums and vox... Took about 8-10 tries...

I took my drum kit off the stand and put it on the floor. Stuck drumsticks between my toes and played normally like that. Played guitar normally. I have no mike stand, so I turned up the sensitivity and taped it on my shoulder.

When I was playing I found i looked only at the guitar screen... drums were the most difficult to do blind (especially when you never play with your feet...)

Once I my friend couldnt do bass pedal, so I had to sing, play plastar, and play the bass pedal. So almost.

And here I thought playing Silver on X/X/X/X was unique. Damn. :-P

If I can find a videocamera I'll see if I can't post it. What techniques do people use though? I stick the bass in my lap (GHII controller but it doesn't matter), and use the Fender controller for guitar. I hit the first couple of bass notes (because why not) and basically only kick when it comes to drums. When i get to the guitar solo, since I'm on the solo buttons on the Fender, I hit the green pad with my right hand (for the fast yellows I spam the solo button until I can get my right hand back to the strum bar).

Just in case you guys are interested, I've posted several videos of some One Man Rock Band stuff on my YouTube page, including several with all 4 instruments.

The best difficulty accomplishment I did was Maps with expert guitar, expert drums, and medium vocals. Or Blitzkrieg Bop with medium guitar, medium bass, easy drums, and hard vocals.

And if you saw the SpikeTV special thingy for the Rock Band 2 release and saw that guy playing all 4 at the same time, that was me. They flew me up there for it. It was awesome.

I am working on all four. Here is my crappy attempt at 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUOt-UjOQq0

I'm a terrible singer and jack up the lyrics as much as possible, but it was a pretty amusing attempt. Some chick bet me that I couldn't do it, so I told her to film it. I really wanna work on getting better at it.

Not 3 instruments, but I played the last two Band Challenges drumtarring on easy (I'm too self-conscious to do vox) without failing anything aside from when I accidentally knocked the drum kit over with my hand. I even managed to 3 star Peace Sells.

It's actually possible to keep a streak on both drums and guitar at the same time during the main Painkiller riff on easy, since the drum bass hits are at the same time as the guitar notes, with the drum pad hits in between. I think this works during most of the first half of Peace Sells too.

Solo buttons are also very useful for this, since they allow you to play the guitar completely one handedly.

I did this with Livin' on a Prayer. Medium vox, easy drums, hard bass. I just used the top of my guitar to hit the pads for the drums. Kept activating OD.

Well if it's on easy, yeah, just switch do two at a time until one is about to fail then switch to that one. Or you could just save OD and then let one keep failed, but I'm not sure how well that'd work.

A voxtardrums FC could probably be pulled off with Polly... use your feet to hit the pads while otherwise playing normally. Even with a mic stand this could probably be done haha...

And yes, I was trying to be funny.

I imagine a song like We Got the Beat, with lots of bass and fairly easy guitar/bass would be the easiest for this; just get really good at the voxtar and then add in 3 bass hits. It'd be epic to see a live video!

For the achievement band savior, I played bass/guitar/vox on expert. I got the achievement after a few tries on Hello There. I passed the song =D
