2
2 (on the first SP chord)
3 (on (or just after) the 6th yellow note - should just about reach the last chords at the end)

Got just shy of 130K...

Hmm...I'm not sure where 2-2-3 would come in seeing as there are 8 phrases...but regardless there is a better path of 3-1-2-2.

(For those who can't get that stupid "1" activation) (including myself most of the time)

3-First chord (i accidentally did it second but i dunno)
2-right away
3-6th green

Not too shabby, got me 9th but i'm pretty sure 3-1-2-2 would be better

I thought I had this one figured out but I got every single squeeze and it's 400 under my old score! Care to give some advice, people?

3 - 1st Green Hold in measure 43
1 - 2nd Green note in measure 78, gets me all the way through the RY chords
2 - immediately
2 - 1st Red note in measure 129, gets me all the last chords under SP

This got 130360-130370, which is really bad for using the optimal path (obviously not with the optimal activation points)

EDIT: Don't bother with this path, 3-2-3 is the optimal path. The activation points Domin Azura gave us are perfect, but I guess he missed 2 out of the 3 squeezes (of which only 1 is hard). You need to able to get half a bar of SP on those holds or you won't be able to get the 2nd squeeze.

Thx Cdw but the 3-2-3 path already got me 2nd (less than 50 points away from your score) and unless I'd want to improve on this one even further (or take on your high scores - but that would be madness) I'm pretty good without it. Hope it can help others though.

Using the NEAR IDEAL path i missed 1st by 4 points, and another squeezale note is possible. I can't whammy that good so.

Well that is the optimal path, so, the first activation is possible, the seconed doesn't squeeze the yellow note, the third is possible, and neither is the fourth squeeze possible, it has to be moved ahead one note to the green note in measure 126.

Optimal = 131.5xx, it's all about the ticks in the first squeeze.

Not too big of a deal, but I was noticing, 99% of the upper-bound squeeze/activations are impossible to achieve.

This would probably lead to only use either ; if you do squeezing and full whammying ; "nearly-ideal" or "big-squeeze", since it's impossible to whammy a whole beat before a SP hold, which shows on every single hold in the upper-bound paths.

Only strumming 0.375 beats before the SP hold is possible, and gets the full whammy. So I suggest ignoring the upper-bound paths, and stick with the other 4.
