    In all seriousness though, it was quite enjoyable...watching a lot of notes be missed, and plenty of moments where the wrong key would be pressed.
     
     Started out playing one song on regular expert and jumped right into Pro Easy Keys (and attempted a few on Expert Pro just to see how I would do.)  Many 3 stars, a few 4s and 5s, and one 2 star (for shame!)  I think my main problem right now is adjusting to using my right hand to hit keys instead of it being my usual strumming hand on the guitar.  For some songs I'll use both hands until I get the hang of using just the one like it's apparently supposed to be used.  
     
    I think it was a great purchase.  Plan to practice with it most of my winter break.

    I laughed when I opened this and saw the pic. 
     
    But yeah, like you, I messed around with the regular mode for a very short amount of time and jumped right into Pro.  Regular just seems way too cheese easy.

    lol, same. 
     
    I recommend checking out some YouTube videos on the basics of keyboards. I learned all of the notes and some basic hand position stuff really quickly that I was never able to learn just by playing the game. I'll have to get some more practice in over Christmas as well.  :)

    I paid little attention to the keyboard until recently. I've always wanted to learn to play the piano, and the keyboard seems like it might be an ideal way for me to get started. If I see it drop in price a little, I might just have to purchase it.
