That's a very interesting observation, to me it sounds more like a software issue than hardware fortunately. I'm pretty press happy as is (never was great at alt strumming accurately for slower sections), but this could explain a lot.

I was having some of these issues (random misses, weird delay at times), but I've fixed all of them by adjusting the calibration a tad and being sure to keep the dongle close to the guitar, with the path clear. The issues cropped up the most when the console had been moved further from where I usually sit.

This has been happening to me as well. It was fine for most of Casual, I started noticing something weird a few songs near the end of the game. Then I went to Regular, and it started happening every 50 notes or so. Then every 20 notes or so. Now it's happening every 5 notes or so and I can't even play the game. I've been tinkering with it and have a couple ideas.

It's not the fact that you hold the strum bar too long. I kept the strum bar held down for the entire first note of When You Were Young and it didn't over strum.

It could be the fact that your finger rests on the strum bar right after hitting a note, so it registers as a second note immediately. However, I don't think this is the case, because it's not consistent with me missing notes I should be hitting. Also, why did I have next to no problems for the first 30 something songs I played?

I think it's a hardware issue. My game is calibrated perfectly, and I know for a fact I am hitting the notes that the game says I'm missing. It will be a steady stream of slow paced notes all in a row, and I will miss a random one in the middle. Unless the engine is so strict that you cannot be even a tenth of a second off (and like I said I had no problems the first few hours I played, and I wasn't even fully paying attention on Casual), then this is a hardware issue.
