Rock Band is introducing “Freestyle Guitar Solo” gameplay in Rock band 4, out October 6, 2015.

Harmonix says, “No music lessons or expertise needed, ‘Freestyle Guitar Solos’ allow players of any skill level to string together face-melting and truly original legendary solos. Using Positive Grid’s BIAS revolutionary amp and effects modeling technology, players will experience the sound and feel of legendary modern and classic rigs, giving player-created solos an incredible and authentic tone.”

There will be over 1,500 songs in Rock Band 4, including music from Elvis Presley, the Killers, Queens of the Stone Age, and Fleetwood Mac (among others—Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars is a personal favorite).
