RB3: "Whip It" Expert Pro Keys FC (Disc)

If you've been following along on Twitter, or if you're in my Discord server, you may have seen this next project coming. If not, I have a very nice surprise for you. I am pretty excited to share the pro keys FCs from the RB3 disc here on this channel. I have put a lot of time and energy into improving at pro keys over the past few years and am very eager to share what I've managed to accomplish as a result. Unlike some keyboard legends like mazegeek999 or SeanFateStar, I do not have real-life piano expertise or credentials as a professional musician, so I have built pretty much from the ground up. Granted, I've played pro keys in RB3 off and on for many years, but I have committed to it way more in the past year and a half or so. Unfortunately, by nature of what the game mode offers, it'll be kind of a slow start. I can assure you that these will pick up substantially in due time, though, so stick around. According to the in-game difficulty tiering, this is the easiest song on the disc. In reality, that is not the case, but it's still pretty simple. We get a verse pattern and a chorus pattern, both of them quite trivial, and a few octave sustains in the bridge. That's all "Whip It" has to offer on keyboard, so I imagine that even most keyboard newbies could learn this one pretty quick. My little conspiracy theory as to why this is ranked as the easiest song is that HMX wanted a song where you actually get to play the whole track to come first in the difficulty progression. I mean, how lame would it be to buy a brand new keyboard peripheral in 2010, excited to boot up this game mode, only to play one chord in "Need You Tonight" or wait through minutes of dead air in "Radar Love"? From the perspective of making the game more welcoming, I do get what they were going for. I just think it's hilarious to suspend my critical thinking for a moment and see "Whip It" ranked at the very bottom, despite having the highest note count out of the on-disc warmup tier pro keys charts.
