Okay, here is the strategy I use for this :

[img] http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o146/Eternal-Idol/GH2%20SP%20Strategy/parasite_guitar_mediumSP.png

SP 1: Get the 1st 2 SPs, whammy the yellows of the next SP
and then Activate immediately on the blue SP notes

SP 2: Whammy the next SP as much as possible, and then activate it immediately on the Red (H)

SP 3: Whammy the next SP as much as possible, you should be
just barely able to get it up to a half bar, and then use it
immediately on the next note.

SP 4: Get 2 SPs, Use immediately

SP 5: Get 2 SPs , use after G(H) at the 8 yellow notes

SP 6: Get 2 SPs, use immediately

You have to play the note as early as possible and begin whammying right as you play the note.

My strat (current best is 143350) is the same as eternalidol's, with the following tweaks:

For activation #4, don't activate immediate; wait until the 10th repeated yellow note to activate

For activation #5, move the activation back one note. If you squeeze, you can still get the last yellow note under SP.

Oh, and for activation #1, you should be able to squeeze out one additional note at the end (just barely).

This song is a true test of your squeezing mettle. The hardest one is probably something that few of you even considered. Getting an extra 1/2 beat of sp out of the 5th phrase and getting that 2nd GR chord in measure 37 with x8.

Hmm I'm not sure how you squeezed of more points with your path malictus but I'm getting 300-400 points more with eternalidol's activation points.
