I've only unlocked 1 mini game so far, that being Ducks, and its highly
**** addictive and highly
**** useful! its just a bunch of columns representing all the frets and the strings at the bottom. The strings are differentiated by the colors of the 360s controller button so you don't have to worry about not knowing what string to strum. Ducks come up from the bottom on a fret and you have to strum the proper string on the right fret to fire a shot and hit the duck. The quicker you get the shot off and hit the duck the more points and time you get. It teaches speed, accuracy, and shifting, simple concept that works well.
I spent most of my time the other day practicing riffs to Satisfaction, actually just the intro. I increased my level from 56% accuracy to 86%. I did however find myself "cheating" by using my Rock Band slide technique which is in real guitar technique a no no. Instead of training my pinky to get that furthest down fret I was sliding my hand down and using my ring finger. Its definitely not the most efficient way to do it but it got the desired effect, leveling me up and getting the riff right.
The bundled guitar is kind of a mini where it has 1 pick up and there not much to it. however it is a real guitar and isn't like the RB squire that has controller buttons.
Last week I got real lucky and now find myself with 2 guitars. A guy at work was getting ready to move and was selling all his stuff. So I went over and took a look at what he was selling and the only thing that caught my eye was this barely used Epiphone Les Paul Special II. Jet black and custom gold pick ups and tuning pegs with gold trim. I went home to get my little amp and tried it out with what little I can do and it sounded great and was in perfect shape with just a couple of small blemishes. I was afraid to ask how much but apparently he was really in need of money, $75. I almost felt guilty..... almost.
