OK I POST NOW

Get 2 - Do not whammy, use at the measure line, will end on next SP
Get 2 - Use on chords during chrous
Get 3 - Will have full bar, use immediately
Get 2 - Whammy SP holds if possible, use immediately to get most chords
Get 3 - Will have full bar, use immediately to get most chords

This is not the path i used when i got my 100%, hence i'm not in 1st place. I'll try this tonight.

Heh, I never analyzed it. I just assumed it was easiest to use during the rapid chords each time. I may have to actually go play this again now.

Sorry if I'm kind of noobish, but what do you mean by get 2 and get 3? Do you mean the parts where you get 2 star power chords or 2 boosts or what?

get that many SP phrases

each one being 1/4 of the SP meter + any holds you might whammy

Nevermind. I thought the chords were the long notes......but I forgot that they are the double/triple notes.....

I'm way too tired.....I think I might have to sleep now....I've been up for about 38 hours now and I'm starting to get confused.

If you can't FC the song, i find you get more points if you just save all your starpowers until the fast chords. Just a suggestion. but it works best for me.
