The Beatles Rock Band Is Excellent For Improving Singing & Drumming
If you are like I am then you do not play video games. Personally, I’m not into them at all. I think of them as a total waste of time. So then why am I spending my time writing about a video game? Because in my opinion The Beatles Rock Band Game is something well beyond just a game, it is a real interactive musical learning tool.
I’m not talking about the guitar bit. I actually think the guitar part of the game is really lame because it has nothing to do with playing real guitar and little to do with the music. It has nothing to do with guitar playing because playing a real 6 string is about 1000 times harder than simply pressing a few color coded buttons and it has very little to do with the songs because I’ve found that the changes in the game rarely change at the same time as any changes in the song.
The drumming and the singing parts of the game are what I find really interesting and important. These aspects have a direct relationship to doing these things “in real life” and the relationship to the music is also far more direct.
If you sing a song in key and with the right timing then you’ll do well. It’s true that you do not have to sing the lyrics (you can simply hum the melody if you want to) but I don’t think that’s a big deal. Musically what matters is the timing and hitting the right notes. I think Beatles Rock Band Video Game is actually an excellent to improve your singing abilities. This is even more true with The Beatles Rock Band than with other Rock Band games because it includes harmony singing too.
When you drum on the highest level you are really hitting every single drum hit that’s in the real song! No, it’s not precisely like playing real drums, but it’s close enough to be pretty effective practice. Some people move easily from playing Rock Band drums to playing a real drum set.
I definitely recomend The Beatles Rock Band as a great present for any big Beatles fanatic along with (obviously) The Beatles Remastered Box Sets & The Beatles USB.
