Thus, Pro Guitar mode was introduced to <em>Rock Band 3</em> with the intention of having people play on a real guitar, and actually learn to play the instrument. </p>
<p>In this classic GDC 2011 talk, Harmonix’s Jason Booth and Sylvain Dubrofsky break down the production and implementation of Pro Guitar mode in <em>Rock Band 3</em>.</p>
<p>The duo discuss how Pro Guitar mode was the result of three months of kicking around ideas, seven months of prototyping, and a full thirteen months of production to make it a reality.</p>
<p>It was an insightful talk that’s still worth watching, so developers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to do so now that it’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrZWGGl5duk">freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!</a></p>
