I haven't played that in forever haha, I just kinda don't like the idea of going through the whole song just for the VERY ending which is the only part that matters =/

lol, it's not the ONLY thing that matters. It just takes practice. I have the star power path down pat too. The only reason my current score isnt owning you is because i for some reason strummed in the middle of one of the last long star powers, breaking my multiplier and wasting my last star power use.

**Shashakiro** · 04-19-2007, 01:40 AM

It's the only part that's even remotely hard to FC, I meant...SP paths are only a matter of looking up stuff, unless you're going for 1st.

Dazzled · 04-20-2007, 02:49 PM

Holy **** you guys are good at this game :O

Are there any tips for getting better besides practising ?

Also got a couple of questions:

- I got huge problems with 4 note stream hammerons, it looks like you need to strum on the first and the last note which is hella confusing.. ? Or can you actually do 4 notes in a row with them?
- I haven't tried pulloffs yet, do you guys use that often ?
- Do you often stay with your fingers on the frets for stairlike patterns ? e.g: green red yellow blue yellow red green. It feels so weird to me :/

- And my most important question: is there any sort of "rule" for using a certain finger on a certain fret ? I mean, I always have my fingers either on top 4 frets or bottom 4, but sometimes I find some patterns like yellow - blue/orange - yellow - blue/orange pretty tiring.. Should I just learn to move my fingers all over the place or should I stick to some stiff positions ?

For all HOPO runs of any length, you only have to strum the first note. In one song (Laid to Rest) you can actually hit 282 notes with a single strum.

I use them in various assorted places. You're usually better off just tapping, though.

I typically try to stay in second position (index on R), but my hand just kinda moves all over the place as I play.

Yeah, Ho's and Po's are hard to be without sometimes, but you shouldnt try and use them for every song, cause you might miss notes

EAT IT SHASH!!!

RaikouRider · 04-21-2007, 01:02 AM

Wow, you guys are really good compared to me.
Shash, check my profile, you might like my latest few simfiles =D

Can't get the feel for the doublestrumming in Solo B, still not that bad of a score for me

Dazzled · 04-21-2007, 01:21 PM

I can't do hammerons on Chorus 1 in beast of the harlot expert.... is that normal ?

sjoecool1991 · 04-21-2007, 03:13 PM

Yes, in the chorus, the notes are slightly too far away from each other to use hammerons, you have to strum every note.

It's only a hammeron or pulloff (is the term even pulloff? it sounds wrong) if the first note has a black ring around it (like all single or double notes) and the ones after it are left with a white top, without the black ring. It's hard to explain, but just pay attention to that next time.

_pandaman_ · 04-21-2007, 10:52 PM

Hey guess what Shash?

GOOD GAME!!

Oh and...

FINALLY!!!

Only Misirlou for the log and Jordan for Guitar God! WOOT!!!

**Shashakiro** · 04-21-2007, 10:58 PM

lol, your ranks is still freakin awesome. Top 100? that's insane, really.

I just need to submit more scores. And my Mother score i posted is crap. I had a 220k run earlier but didnt get a pic and quickly quit before i realized it was my best run. *sigh* The one I posted is the only one under rank 500... *sigh*

But 5* on six, I totally was not expecting that today

And i know Ive got a long way to go on that song too. But still, 5* is nice.

And im only 6k from Priest on MiaB! I was so surprised

**Shashakiro** · 04-21-2007, 11:58 PM

uh well when you have an FC on anything you shouldn't expect to be more than 10k off of first unless your SP path is garbage^2

and yeah I'm pretty proud of my 88 rank or whatever, and my all-ranks-under-300 status

EDIT: gl retaking MiaB lmfao

now for SatD, which I don't even need to FC to beat you on hehe EDIT2 oops I did it anyway rofl owned

Try some other stuff =D

**Adamaja456** · 04-22-2007, 06:23 AM

i played GH at my friends house and i didnt care for it much. Probably because witha few expceptions, i dont really like rock music. And i was also using the controller, not the guitar

Dazzled · 04-22-2007, 08:36 AM

Well that kinda kills the purpose of the game I think

**Shashakiro** · 04-22-2007, 02:01 PM

the game is like a kinda bad version of FFR with the dualshock

exceptions: CfH in GH1 and LTMR in GH2

JaketheBLack · 04-22-2007, 02:05 PM
