How to Play Rock Band ® 3
Quick start
Choose an easy song and finish one phrase. Switch to the next instrument while the cleared part continues, then practise keeping the four tracks active before touring.
Controls
Use the D-pad and face-button note controls shown for the lane colours. L/R switch instrument tracks. Follow the phrase markers and displayed Overdrive command; no external instrument controller is required for the DS button game.
Rock Band ® 3 — About this game
Rock Band 3 on DS makes you manage four instrument tracks with the system's buttons. Complete a phrase accurately and that part plays automatically for a while, giving you time to switch to another track. Plan the next change before the current phrase ends so the whole arrangement keeps going. Begin on a low difficulty with one song and learn the lane colours before touring. Road and career challenges build fans and unlock customisation. The DS Pro mode changes how constantly you must maintain tracks, rather than asking for real guitar hardware. Local cooperative and competitive modes require separate compatible systems and game cards.
