Anybody that's playing so far do the hammer-ons seem to be easier this time around???

I'm not a super expert player by any means (although I could play almost every song on the first game expert) but I've been able to hit some really tough hammer-on sections this time around that I wouldn't have before. Maybe I'm getting better but I don't think that's it :P

 

I never had a problem with hammer ons in RB 1/2.  They have always been comparable to GH2.  GH3 the range of a successful hit was widened dramatically so it was easier to do.  They have also added chord hammer ons, mostly for slides but I have not played any of the higher up songs.

And to the guy that said that the 20 free songs will not be any good, they will have 500 songs available by the end of the year so it is not like they are struggling for artists.  Of course the 20 songs are gonna be good.

I never really had a huge problem either.  I was just wondering if anybody else noticed a difference or I was just seeing things that weren't there.  I haven't played Rock Band 1 in about 2-3 weeks and last night I was hitting some hard hammer-on sections that I would have struggled with before.  Maybe my game was calibrated a little better than the first I dunno.  Maybe "beginner's luck".  Was just curious :)
