OK first off, hi everyone im new to the forums blah blah blah. So i am a pretty accomplished pianist and one technique that i use to hit notes very fast on the keyboard is to plant my hand almost vertical and hit the same note repeatedly with four fingers consecutively and repeat. Well i was playing trogdor and whenever i got to the end of the solo i missed about half the notes strumming as fast as i could. I then remembered the technique on the piano and tried it and after a few practices i got more and more notes until i almost got the entire thing! I will post a vid of it this weekend as a tutorial as i do not have time 2 play on weeknights.
So here is how u do it. U hold the guitar at about a 60 degree angle. Then, you put your thumb next to the top of the strum bar. Then, you use the remaining 4 fingers to strum nonstop.
I will try my best to answer anyones questions

Does that involve actually using your thumb to shorten the strumbar gap so that when you strum you just barely cross the sensitivity threshold before the bar recoils?

I think I know what he's talking about. I might try this. (When I get a new game.

)

It's basically some sort of conglomeration of bass and classical guitar picking I think. Still quite intriguing...

I, for one, will be eager to see this... i will be totally surprised if this method works personally

To be honest, I'm a little bit surprised that no one has FC'd Trogdor yet since it's really no that hard of a song besides the trem picking at the end of the solo (I mean, I've gotten that part multiple times, I just can't FC the rest of the song and solo).

I don't know, maybe I'm just on crack or something and it's affecting my judgement.

That sounds like a weird technique, but would like to see it

Im not a good player, but I'm a fast strummer, when I was playing Misirlou, I was strumming too fast! And when I heard nobody has been able to FC that fast part on Trogdor, I was kinda surprised and thought I'd give it a try or two

Have, I guess, never played it on Expert... Yeah, but that won't happen until I get back to home (at school right now). If I have any chance on FCing that, I'll take a video of it! Definitely

I'm just scared about the button, it's dying

And no, I'm not promising anything. I think that I'll fail it, but wouldn't it be cool if someone got it?

well if anyone reckons they can FC trogdor *easily* then why not go and FC it on hard.. its not the "solo" part that cant be done its the tremello's at the end.. on hard, the song is simple even the beginning to the solo.. just the fast picking no one has gotten it on a real run yet. If it can be FC'd on hard then its not impossible to do it on expert.

Hmm, sounds interesting.

Can you provide a picture to show the hand position? I was a bit like this ->

so the pic would be rather helpful.

I'm pretty new, and still not too good, but I really don't see how this would work. I understand the technique but the speed required to hit every note would just stick the bar past the point where it still counts as a strum. The reason alt strumming is so effective is because you're forcing it back rather than allowing the mechanism to spring back in place.

Of course, as a skeptic, I'll still wait and see if your technique works, I'm awaiting proof >_>.
