2, 1, 1, 4 will give you more points than this one. I'll draw a new one up when I get a chance.

Raunch99 - Aterial Black - Hard SP

yes you are correct

my problem is getting the first '1' SP. i can always nail the 2nd '1' which is odd cause they are the same

2 1 1 4 provides about 156700 at the break
3 1 4 provides about 154000 at the break
2 2 4 (ick) provides about 144000 at the break

this song is owning me. -1, -1, -1, -1, -1

Yea those can be tricky. I can usually get if I mentally focus on hitting that first RB chord just a tad early.

2, 1, 1, 2, 2, is optimal SP, not 2, 1, 1, 4

If you use 2, 1, 1, 4, the 4 nets you about 30 extra notes on top of what 2 would normally give you. However, using 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, that activation during the solo gets you 30 just in the fast run before the O holds, and depending on how quickly you can use it, up to 12 more from the descending triplets.

If you can FC this song, or at least get through most of the run before getting a -1, this is the path for you.
