The path I use is pretty straight forward, and seems to be optimal (I put my new best run up last night, but using this path, I managed to make 4 runs that scored better than the current 2nd place, so I'm confident in this strat)

2 - Use immediately. If you use right at the start of the long note, you can squeeze a half a beat to a beat on the long chord it ends on.

2 - Whammy the first, activate the 2nd immediately. You can squeeze a note at the end of this one.

3 - Whammy these and you should have pretty much a full bar. Activate right as the main riff chords start again and it will take you through the end of the chords.

Well just incase anyone doubted the path, it is what I used and I have (or at least had) the number one score on this song.
