So I was especially shocked that I was able to take first on &#8220;Whip It,&#8221; my first song on Pro Keys. I expect the Devo classic will soon become the equivalent of the original <em>Guitar Hero<\/em>&#8216;s &#8220;I Love Rock &amp; Roll,&#8221; with people replaying it over and over again trying to squeeze out an extra 10 or 20 points, so I&#8217;m going to enjoy this rare stint in first while it lasts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whip It&#8221; is really a great introductory song for Pro Keys, as it&#8217;s short and just has two simple parts that shift back and forth &#8212; verse and chorus. Unlike other songs that have massive sections without keyboards, &#8220;Whip It&#8221; is easy but keeps you playing the whole time. That was really just the beginning of my playtime with Pro Keys, which I have a LOT of thoughts on, but that&#8217;s best saved for another, much longer post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you were the kind of person who was familar with the Guitar Hero community, you&#8217;d probably recognize several names on the above scoreboard as some of the game&#8217;s earliest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-commentary","category-rock-band-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=503"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":509,"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503\/revisions\/509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bytica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
