Tips for Unlocking Songs
- Focus on the instrument listed under 'Least Resistance' for each song. This is your shortcut!
- If a song shows 'Equal' or 'Guitar/Vocals' (or similar), it means multiple instruments have the same low difficulty rating. Pick whichever you're most comfortable with.
- The numbers in the GUITAR, DRUMS, and VOCALS columns represent a difficulty rating (1 being easiest, 9 being hardest). Use this to your advantage!
