And you dont even need to play with a friend considering that rock band is going to feature career modes for every instrument. so yeah 140 might seem alot at first glance but its really not for someone who wants to experience the full band gameplay.

Green is on the very right, as most people are right handed. Red is on the very left. So at the start, you only need to focus on one thing with each hand. If they were next to eachother, the lineup wouldn't make sense. Then, as it gets harder, you focus on the middle ones, and then experts also use their foot (introducing a new limb = mastery). So no, it shouldn't be anything other than what it is. The colors are fundamentally in the same order as the guitar hero guitars. Green is on the very right, as most people are right handed.
