When there are no notes to sing, as in a song with rap, make any noise as the words pass and you will get credit.

Switch to the small keys on the fretboard when doing a solo.

McFly · #56 10-05-2009, 10:30 AM

Just like in real life - don't worry too much about the money. If you play the band world tour for any length of time, you'll most likely end up with more money than you know what to do with!

McFly · #57 10-05-2009, 10:32 AM

The most difficult venue to open in whatever area you start out in will always be your hometown. Therefore, if you want to get to an arena sooner, don't choose a hometown with an arena such as London, New York, Berlin, or LA.

McFly · #58 10-05-2009, 10:34 AM

The level your band is playing at is considered by the game to be the LOWEST level of anyone in the group who is playing. So, if you have an expert drummer and a guitarist who is on "easy", the group's activities are rated at "easy", unfortunately...

Evan after earning "Hall of Fame" status, there is the ability to play the behemoth "Endless Set List" of all 58 songs back to back. Good luck!

McFly · #64 10-05-2009, 10:46 AM

There are five "bonus cities" in the game that are difficult to unlock. They have only one venue and contain the most challenging songs. Having large numbers of fans is the main key to unlocking these venues.

McFly · #65 10-05-2009, 10:48 AM
