Are you FC'ing it? I have 192k (15th place), but that was on day 2 of retail, so help me if I can remember what my SP path was.

I used a straight 2-2-2-2-2 strategy for fifth place (193,5k). Activations follow:

1. Right away, or maybe after the first four notes (not a big deal)
2. In the GR--GR--GR-GR bit, during that second hold.
3. Right away
4. Something like ten measures away, before three GY chords (after five lone red notes and a short yellow hold)
5. Right away

That 8th SP phrase should be colored in yellow, not blue. I'm too lazy to fix it.

I think I used 2-2-2-2... I'm in 2nd but its been awhile since I played this one.

Anyone else got trouble near the end of measure 43?I can hit every other note, but I cant get that part with the RO chord and the R-Y-G pull off.

And also, is 4-2-2-2 the optimal path, or is it 2-2-2-2-2?

Don't use my path. 2-2-2-2-2 is better.
