Any lefties managed to get the two extra SP's, i can't do it, and it's pretty much impossible to grip the whammy bar whilst strumming with an upside down guitar.

I'm fuming inside right now. I must have played this song for a full hour and a half (which is a looooong time to play one song for me), and not once did I get the 2nd extra SP. No matter what I tried, it just WOULD NOT WORK. It's driving me crazy.

The first SP, eh, I got every 6 tries or so. Sometimes better, sometimes worse. There was one streak where I didn't get it like 10+ straight times.

This is really frustrating, as I can't improve my score without getting both of them. Any tips? I'm a righty, so it's not an issue of not being able to strum and whammy at the same time. I'm strumming even a bit before the beat, whammying immediately, and doing the same for the second hold.

Is there a certain angle/position that is more consistent or activates the whammy faster? Sometimes, even if you're whammying at the same time you strum, it kicks in a bit later than other times.

Hit the note early. That's almost a necessity to get that SP. If you hit it super early and still whammy as soon as you hit it, you should be ok. I also found that I let go of the hold a bit early when I didn't get it, so make sure that you're actually whammying and holding for the entire length of the note. That second one is a bit tempting to let off early, and if you get the SP it's a really really close fit to missing the next note.

I based this on JCirris chart: Sully Story of My Love Hard SP

Uh, there's clearly a better path since I'm almost 4k off the lead with my path. HALP!

Edit: here's my vid- please tell me where I went wrong to still be 3k down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw9jphWhcs4

Are you certain there's not a more glaring difference? I feel that I executed my path pretty well and:

-moving the 2nd activation back a beat and a half looks to net the same amount of notes- get R RGR instead of OBY G?

-it doesn't look like there are enough whammies to mess up that I would have lost 3k worth of notes under sp. I might have lost some hold points during the 1st activation, the 2nd activation is exactly half a bar, poor whammying on the third activation might have cost me a couple of chords, the next two don't have potential for whammy mistakes, I may have lost a chord or two on the sixth activation with poor whammying, and the last activation is very easily whammied to 8 measures. It just doesn't add up.

I guess I'll play it again and see if it works out differently.

Can someone please create a chart to show what the "optimal"for people that can't whammy the whammy SP's would be?.Both of them I'm really close but cant get and I was wondering what would be the best way around that .
