I don't know. There's not much to say for this song...
Possible for an FC, though, even by the likes of guitar heroes like me.

I think mine's pretty good, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. When I get a chance, I'll post it.

While waiting for Catfish's path, here's mine!

Basic Path: 2, 2, 2, 2

2: Get the whammys, Activate right at start of 23.
2: Activate at YO chord in 85, right where there's 3 in a row.
2: This one's iffy. I'm not sure if you can over-whammy it, but use it immediately.
2: Whammy it all, use at 133 when RB chords start. GL on the ending

A good path for those of us who aren't great at the end solo would be a 3-2-3, where the first two you activate right away, and the last activation you wait for RB chords right before the fast RY chords at the end.

EDIT: 45, 93, and 133 are the exact spots if you're looking for them on the chart.

Sycocoaster's is the way to go. On the one before the scales, use it around the B to O hammer on. Should end close to the next SP if I remember right. Just play around with that one till you get it right.

debr's path is better than Legedevin's. However, debr's requires some extreme squeezing.

Hm... does anyone have a path which avoids an activation in solo 2g? I can't combo at all. And use last SP as soon as possible doesn't help.
