Once entered, this code stays permanent (until you delete your game save data), and unlocks all songs in Quickplay (not Career). If you are interested in maintaining a "legit" game, note that this will give you all the bonus songs without having to purchase them, as well as unlock the Co-Op Encores (in Quickplay mode). |

No sounds will play when you enter this code. This code does not give you the songs; use "Unlock All Songs" given above for that. A mnemonic for memorizing this code, courtesy of SpoonMan, is that the buttons that you don't press spell, "YO BRO GO ROB BOB". As with Unlock All Songs, this code is permanent once entered. For easier distinguishing of the chords, the missing (a.k.a., not-pressed) buttons are represented with an underscore. Four-note freticons courtesy of DarkDucky (forum post). |
