Work on the rhythm. The verses aren't hard once you get the rhythm of the chords. And if you can't strum fast enough on the parts in between the chords, maybe try learning to strum up and down. Decontrol and Unsung are good songs to start out on when learning alternate strumming. Read the other advice posted on these boards and check out a star path or two. A lot of them are posted for this song.

By the way, cool name. Futurama owns.

ok here is how i do it hope it makes sence.

i get 4 sets of stars. the fourth set is the R B then start SP.

then i get 4 more sets of stars again but i hold off on using star power until the GY chords start again.

then i get 3 sets of stars and start SP again..

it usually ends around the start of the solo.

then i just keep filling it and using it as soon as it's full, but i save the last bit of star power to use just before the first BY YR RB part.

ok hope it made sence and if it did i hope it helps.

using the above star power stratagey,

i moved myself into 23rd place for this song on medium

now if i can use it and note miss any of the stupid notes

i usually screw up when it goes from GYGY GY GY B Y R G (main verse to chorus) if i could just hit those notes I'd nail the Fc here too

im ranked in the top 100 on medium overall im working on BATM atm so back to your regularly scheduled thread!

I used to use this as a warm-up before I'd play my Hard or Expert career songs, and I got good enough at it (206k).

I have since [played GH2 like crazy, and gotten way better, so I've blown my old Easy/Medium/Hard GH1 scores out of the water by going back and redoing them. However, I tried this song, and only got 180k : /

For some reason, I'm not hitting the rhythm right. I honestly think Its not detecting the notes, or something dumb, because I seem to be strumming right and my fingers are on the frets. kind of odd.

I don't think I'll be 100%ing this... but I'm sure I can increase my score.

Oh well.

this is one of those songs where u can have good and bad days

my best so far is 222K but that was 2 months ago now...

ive since been getting 160-180K

i alternate strum and i still cannot master those sections in between the chords, i sometimes nail the ones which start with Y notes.

also i miss randomly in the solo, i have nailed each section of it at least once and i just need to get them in one run. the hardest bit is the start of the solo. the section with the BYR scales onwards are ok

ok i just changed my preffered sp path ready..

go on 3 then go imediatley on 2 then go on 4 then go on 3 (should be starting solo as last sp ends) then i go every 3 whammy the first two long star notes during the solo and go on three. then go again on three every time till the end. and i usually hold of on using the last sp until the when it goes ygygygy---- again i go on that long note there.

but i seem to be sucking ass more but i think if i nail it i'll get a very highscore. whish someone who can FC this would try this path and tell me if it works better than theirs, lol

For the solo, it splits the notes up into sections of 3, so for the beginning (of the solo), where it goes GRG RYR YBY RYR RYR YBY YBY, just strum three times to keep time with it, and it should fall into place. Hope that helps.

Another path might be 4-4-2-3-3-3

get 4 wait 2 measures
get 4 wait 1 measure
all the rest act on the next note.

Can't play this for crap ( haven't tried in awhile) but this should be close to the real thing.

I tried that path (with a slight tweak) and somehow managed a full combo and approx 330K points. The best is 335K, so it's possible that squeezing and activation points could make up the difference... Anyway, thanks for the path idea!

ok i have actually tweaked this more.

get 3 wait for 2 green notes go before the first red.
sp should end right at the R B R B stars get those then get the next set and go imidiatly. then collect 4 you will be in the chords again go imediatly. then you get 2 and go imediatly again. it should end right at the B Y R G stars get two more and go during the long blue one (about 1/2 to 3/4' ofthe way through it). then collect 3 and go and collect the last 3 and go before the string of fast notes, it should last until the end of the song so you can even squeeze in the last group o chords.

it got me 325k and i added 1 extra strum, so i think this is it. i may edit it a note chart with my path on it later.

star path chart

p.s. on the first activation you should go before the red note not on it. and on the second activation I made it look like it goes a lil longer than it actually does.
and on the long blue star note the one near the start of the solo you have to go before it finishes or you will miss the next set of stars.

sorry i did such a bad photo shop job on it. I know I'll redo it again nd make it better. then i'll eit that one in here too, lol.


-edit-
new better star path chart

A good squeezer could get first you say?

Well ill have to try this one out later tonight. I will let you know how it goes.

EDIT: Well, on my first runthrough i managed the FC and got 332,908.

On all of my following attempts I couldnt seem to get through without fucking up something stupid. I know I missed a few squeezes, so this might be the right one and it might not. I guess we wont know until someone either does it right or the top 2 guys tell us.
