Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang Pro guitar review

Next week’s Rock Band 3 launch marks a giant step for the franchise, with the pro mode edging its gameplay closer to actual musicianship. The keyboards and drums are easier transitions to make, given what’s essentially one-to-one mapping for notes and logical input solutions.
