I still can't tap the intro for TTFAF, I passed it in a very...non-conventional method.

I use the heel of my foot to hold the green fret, and proceed normally play, with the left-hand hovering over the rest of the fret board, strumming with the right. A lot of people say my method is harder, and just to learn tapping. But I can't. Tried it, for a long while, just couldn't get it.

Nice Tibs. Took you long enough for One though didn't it? I even beat you to that one. I can't get the NotB down yet though. I have no idea why. And I haven't gotten anything more than 150k on RB.

It took me less than 5 minutes to learn to tap TTFAF never having tapped before. 2 tries on slowest, then like 2 on slow and then I could FC it every time.

This is the easiest section ever to tap. I don't know why people have trouble with it. For the record I just use left hand: hold green, middle finger hits red, Right hand: index yellow, middle blue ring orange, and I do an elbow strum. You just hold green and then tap red+elbow strum at the same time and you're good to go. It's so slow with 2 hands, and there's no difficult transitions like in jordan...I don't see what the problem could possibly be D:

I tap the ORGORGORGOYR... part in Knights of Cydonia. I think that's a little easier than TTFAF.

I would never have considered tapping that in the first place >__> But I'd have to say you're right ;D

Seems like the transition is much harder though. In TTFAF you just have your 2 hands setup before there are any notes.

For the record that pattern is really easy if you just slide your index finger from red to green.

Ok, I don't know why I didn't think of doing it that way before. I kept trying to hold green with my left, then hit the other 4 with my right. I think I'm gonna try that when I get back from class.


Also, Tibs, you kill my One, but I'm beating you by a lot on NotB. I think you could do better on that one.

TtFatF I only use both middle fingers to tap holding down green with my left index. I hit red with my left middle finger and everything else with my right middle finger ...

EDIT: Alright some sad news.. my dad just restrung the old fender that we had sitting in our basement, and I said that when he did, I would pick it up and start learning how to play the real guitar haha. so I'm gonna be spending less time on guitar hero, and more time on the real guitar haha I'm kind of pumped actually...

Oh ya, so guitar is a lot harder than guitar hero, like at least 3 times harder probably even more because I'm not even close to knowing all the basics...

I just can't throw my hand up there without looking at the fret buttons, so I had to memorize some of the patterns, first. Then it took me a while to come up with the way you said. I don't really wanna elbow strum, either. The actual tapping part is cake. I just kept hitting the first few notes with normal fret fingers too slow while not looking at the screen, so it too me a long time to figure out what I was doing wrong.

ouch tibs, dat was my first expert fc on gh3

Hey I FC'd KoC. 502k

Don't understand why so many people struggle with this. It's a piece of cake aside from the lag and that I didn't use the most optimal path. D: The strumming isn't fast at all. I think most people are strumming too fast or something. I know that was my problem before...just slowing down led to the fc.

Like 560k on One too. Could probably get it up to 580+ correcting my mistakes since I had 97%.

Still no luck with TTFAF though D: This is officially my weakest song apparently, even though I've played it quite a bit. Breaking 500k is so ****ing difficult.

nice KoC Reach.

I agree it's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be. In my first 5 tries of the song I got a -7 where like 5 of them were from lag.

lag is terrible on it that's all

and I hear you on TTFAF. I got it 5*'d barely after whoring it 5-10 times but I have no ****ing clue how all these baddies with no other half decent scores get 600k+ on it.

god I want to play GH again, why'd my gutiars have to be fags and break.

Also, anyone who can play customs, check out my BB Revenge custom on SH here:

http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47937

warning: harder than ttfaf to pass, has zero easy parts with any note density to speak of.

Default Re: Guitar Hero. Awesome.

guitar broke? damn.

I noticed there are a lot of people with nice 5* scores on TTFAF who don't seem better than me. I don't know, I just can't do it. The strum sections are really easy but all of the solo stuff is so unbelievably fast... it's incredibly hard to keep combo.

After careful analysis I noticed that my technique is wrong in some places. That is, I can hold notes down I'm currently not holding down to make the solos easier to play, but it's going to take awhile to get used to playing like this. Especially since there is very little practice with fast solos on GH3. I was wondering how the **** several of the patterns in TTFAF are even possible given I play piano and have fast hands to begin with...but then I realized holding down specific notes makes it much easier.

I also just realized what the guy a few pages was talking about with regards to the notes indicating where you strum during solos. Rofl. Although this hasn't helped any of my scores yet, it is convenient, since I was clearly strumming a lot when it was unnecessary on a couple songs.

It didn't break per se, but the green AND yellow buttons stick down for 10 seconds when pressed. It's impossible to play with it, I fail the Lou battle before the solos when I can literally play it with my eyes closed and get to the solo every time normally.

I also have another guitar with a completely busted whammy bar, it's locked in my dorm at school. I'll wind up using that I guess, although I can't go for good scores without a whammy bar, just FC's really.

I've really considering buying PS2 Rock Band JUST for the Strat to replace my old broken SG's...=(

Default Re: Guitar Hero. Awesome.

first time comming here
your all better than me from what ive seen D:

I felt so pro moving both my hands up to the neck in the beginning and nailing it xD
I realized I would move my fingers to fast for that part, so I slowed down a bit, and this happened.
This was the first time I ever passed the beginning part.



hopefully I can pass this soon, although the ending is the crazy part pretty much =/
I've been improving fast as hell since I actually started caring about getting good at this.
