That's a great path, thanks Priest. Does anyone else think there's a timing issue in this song? I have to strum a little bit ahead of the sound at the first or I miss some stuff. It's nowhere near as bad as Stop, but I think it's there.

Yea, 4-2-3 was the SP I used before I went here and got me 16th place... It works quite well

On this song I usually get some kind of unexplained fuckup if that makes sense, like I'm doing the verse riff normally then my streak suddenly dies, but it's even worse on the YBBBOBY (might be wrong I typed that from memory), I play that and I think I got it right, but the game thinks I fucked up, and this usually limits my score to 225K. Any suggestions to fix the problem?

You're just going to have to give the game the benefit of the doubt. As much as you think you're playing it right, the game definitely is disagreeing with you (trust me, I know the feeling). Best bet is to re-check how you're actually playing it, while doing it in practice mode. If you're still having problems, slow down the section and see what you're fingers are actually doing. Sometimes you just can't tell, that what you're thinking you are playing is different from what your fingers are actually doing.

Hope that helps some, come back if you still have problems.

If you're having trouble strumming the three note chord sections, there another alternative to switching back to single strumming for it... trying to play tonight I found that I did extremely well strumming them DUDU DDUDU DDU DDUDU DDUDU DDUDU. It had gotten to the point where I was single strumming the entire verse due to frustration, and this breakthrough was a big relief.

I was trying that, too. The problem with alt strumming the whole part is, that it has a odd number of notes - that is if you start the GY chords (Measure 4) with DU (which feels natural), you'll end up with UD as soon as the part is repeated (Measure 8) - and that always messes me up.

If you do DUDU DDUDU DDU DDUDU DDUDU DDUDU or even DUDU DUDUD DUD DUDUD DUDUD DDUDU, you'll start the GY chords with DU... again ;-)

For the last activation on that path, it should be right on the GR chord instead of the end of it. Otherwise, it works, although it is possible to get the red note in the 2nd activation, even though it is incredibly hard to squeeze it

if you do it right on the gr chord ull miss some of the ryo chords at the end

I'm fairly sure if you whammy the holds in the last two activations you can hit all the ROY chords at the end, though it might require a bit of squeezing unless your timing is perfect.
