DJ Hero: Master Instrument Ratings Challenges

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're diving into DJ Hero and want to get a handle on these Instrument Ratings? Think of these as specific challenges designed to test your skills on each instrument, pushing you to hit those Gold, Platinum, and Diamond targets. Let's break 'em down so you know exactly what you're aiming for!

First off, the general vibe for each instrument:

Guitar: Rated a solid 6/10. It's a core instrument, but maybe not the most complex.
Bass: Comes in at 5/10. A bit more straightforward than the guitar, perhaps.
Drums: A respectable 7/10. Seems like there's a bit more to master here.
Vocals: Also a 7/10. You'll need to hit those notes accurately!

Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of each challenge. These are your main goals for racking up those ratings:

Challenge 1: High Score (Single) - Bass

This is your bread and butter for the Bass. Just focus on hitting as many notes as possible to get the highest score you can. The targets are:

Diamond Target: 194,300

Challenge 2: Alt Strum - Bass

Here's where your strumming technique really gets tested on Bass. You need to alternate your up and down strums perfectly. No Hammer-Ons (HOPOs) or Tapping allowed here, just pure strumming!
