Hi, I'm kinda new to scorehero. I've searched around the forums and found some great stuff to help me through the game. I've beaten expert and hard and now I decided to go back and try to 5 star all the songs on hard. So far, I've gotten all of them except institutionalized, psychobilly freakout (of course), and this one. The part that gets me is the beginning. I've practiced it for hours and it's time wasted for me. My personal best in this song is 174,000, and I was wondering if one of you guys could give me some pointers on the beginning part.

Thanks much,
-VeX

the start doesnt really matter, hitting about 70-80% of the notes at the start is fine, it's the main riff ya wanna get down pat, just bring it to practice mode and you'll be fine, the day i got 170k on it, i practiced a couple times and played and got 220k

Thanks Dane. I just tried it today and got 205k. Took your advice and got the main riff down. The intro is still a bitch though

Heh, it's going to be a while.
This is one of those songs that's harder than hell until you beat it the first time, then it gets a hell of a lot easier...
Though I couldn't 5* it until I could beat expert.

Does it really take too much effort to use the rectangle tool?

I had a hard time with this song when I first played it in hard as well. Now, it is the only song I haven't 5-stared in the main setlist in my hard career. My high score is 178724. What do I need in order to 5-star and what is a good SP path I could use to help me along?
