Rock Band 2 – Colony of Birchmen – Expert – Guitar 100% (WITH HANDS)
Once again, I have to thank Azuritereaction for editing this video for me. We’re going to put together some Full Band splitscreen vids that should be pretty amazing, so subscribe to his channel because he’ll be uploading them:

For the hands capture, I mounted my digital camera to the headstock of my guitar looking down the fretboard. The in-game footage is, as always, gamebridge capture. Azurite tried out widescreen this time- do you like it better than the standard sizing in the My Sharona vid? And if you’re wondering why the hands part is darker- I filmed this one at night with artificial lighting (the My Sharona vid was shot during the day).
Artist: Mastodon
Song: Colony of Birchemn
Game: Rock Band 2
Difficulty: Expert
Instrument: Guitar
The second activation needs to start one note sooner so it doesn’t overlap the next phrase. The last activation needs to be delayed a few notes to get all of the final chords under OD.
Oh, and since people have been asking- here’s the camera setup:

I screwed that bent piece of metal into the headstock, then covered it with a piece of cloth so the camera doesn’t get scratched. Then I attached the camera with hair-tie rubber bands =)
