Anyone know a decent sp path for the ultimate encore song??

When I open Jcirri's note chart it doesn't load the whole thing for some reason so I'm not sure what to try right away...

thanks!

well ur lucky im doing this song today also

i came up wiv this, feel free to criticise, i whammied all holds

3SP - from the start of the first chorus, use about halfway through the 5th G sustain. Must stop before SP4
2SP - use at Y notes in 2nd chorus, should take you through the 2nd run of notes later in the chorus
(SOLO starts)
2SP - use at the consistant Y sustains (ideally use when the gaps between them stop)
2SP - use immediately
2SP - use at 2nd G note
2SP - use immediately
4SP - use at Y sustains which precede the RYchord sustains (must stop by the end of the RYchord sustains to save missing the next SP)
3SP - use immediately

Thanks for the heads up on the path man...
currently I just go thru different paths and activate right away... I figure later I'll go back and figure out where's the best time to activate and squeeze notes and all that...

Hmm...I would agree all except for the last couple. I would start the 4 SP right on the RY chords and end up skipping the one after it, and then getting two and activating right away. I think the benefits of skipping it are better than getting three and using it then.

This is the one song that seperated me from getting 5 ranks lower atleast.

Wow, I "actually" finished this.

Hope yall like it, took me long enough.. These are the best activations for this path of 3-2-2-2-2-2-4-3. (20/21)

PLEASE, DO "NOT" hesitate to tell me if the activations go too long, I will gladly appreciate it, since I don't have the game right now to test if the activations are too long. Thanks!

The activations look good. I would test them but my bro is playing the game too much.

I'll have to kick his ass in pool tonight
