 |
|
I'm trying to FGFC GH:VH, and currently I'm trying Romeo Delight. The problem with this song is that endless streak of open notes in the "Feel My Heartbeat" part. I can't seem to keep a good combo without messing up. Why is this happening to me and how can I stop it?

I've not played the song, but I just looked at the chart and it appears to me that the tempo changes quite frequently which means the rhythm you strum will have to adjust accordingly. Much like the strumming at the end of Sweet Home Alabama (Live), except not as fast as that.
I would've said try strumming in sets of 8 (so count 8 in your head) to see if that helps, but as the tempo changes I doubt that would work.
I tried to find a video on YouTube of a bass FC where you can hear the strumming so that way you can learn how to do it, but I can't find one.

The most I can tell you is to be really attentive to both the small breaks in the strumming and the tempo changes because the latter is pretty noticeable in that part. Keep your eyes on the fretline so you can watch when you're strumming too fast or too slow, and don't forget that the entire section ends on an upstrum, I believe. So long as you don't restart at every break, at least.

Thanks guys! I got the FC by turning the drums to the highest volume and the other instruments to the lowest volume (turns out the off-beat guitar was distracting me), but these tips might be helpful for future FCs!

Yep, the song feels weird because the repeated "Feel My Heartbeat" vocals get behind the actual beat of the strumming for both guitar and bass, so you gotta ignore it. Good job on the FC!

cant be worse than Let There Be Rock (Live) on Medium Bass in RB:AC/DC. there's a yellow streak of probably 500 notes. it's ridiculous.

The thing is, though, that streak is the same tempo the entire time. The only thing that may change is the frequency of the notes (at least on Hard and Expert).

not the same tempo, it switches a few times during the song, hard to keep track. im shocked to have FCed it because of that,
