In first.

This is one of my favorites to play. I thought I had the path but b3nz crushed me by 500 pts. Hopefully he can drop in and tell us whether he gave my path an overhaul or just has some extra whammage

He probably just had some extra whammying.

I don't own a 360, so I can't test it out, but I think this is it. I played around with the beginning activations, and this came out ahead.

My mistake, I assumed that the hold points wouldn't make up for the 3 note chords instead of checking the measure values. Move the second activation up to the first RYO chord in measure 26.

Thanks for the correction Smoky. Here is a more updated version of the path (now with more accurate activation/end points!)
