I passed them both first try but I'm in the mindset where I'm obsessed with getting 5 stars on everything so it's not that reassuring.

Anyone have any tips for SP use? My score is so erratic. I get 140 or 150k often but often I'll get like 110 or 120. o__O I need to get more consistent with star power.

(I'm starting to work out a strategy)

This song can go to hell and die.

How do people do the RB YO alternating sections? Do you move your hand and keep your fingers in place, or do you do it all with your fingers?

My fingers won't move that way and I can't get the hand movement down. I just need to practice but wondered what others did.

I just move my hand back and forth. I tried switching fingers each time, but I would get mixed up frequently.

SP Question.

Do more of you tend to use your SP during the alternating chord section? If that's the case it usually overlaps with the SP that comes right after the chords finish alternating...is that just a sacrifice everyone is willing to make?

HOLY SP CHARTS BATMAN!

Btw, I'm not entirely sure on the exact timing of the 2nd activation, but it is somewhere in tht genereal area

Thanks for posting that, Pope, I just have one nitpick. Since your last activation only really covers 4 measures worth of chords, you don't need all three SPs for it. I'd actually activate halfway through measure 74 instead of 72, and that would skip over the SP in measure 77, but you'd get two measures (25 notes) under SP before it runs out at the next phrase. With the SP at measure 79 + the SP with whammies at measures 96/97, you'll have the same amount of SP at the end for the outro. At worst, you lose that chord at m73 and maybe one sustained note, but for 25 extra notes it's worth it.

I'm actually working on this song in Hard, but it's so similar to expert that I figured I'd ask a few questions here.

Firstly, thanks to popemobile for the SP map and to emptyset for the observations. I had been using SP slightly differently and I'll definitely adjust to your suggestions the next time I play.

With that said, how much extra star power is to be gotten by whammying in measures 96 and 97? I've never tried to whammy there as the sustains are short and I'm more concerned with not losing my multiplier.

Also, Solo A (measure 77-80) is giving me the hardest time. In Hard, there's one less Blue note which actually makes it harder for me to play it (the "rest" throws off my strumming). I can hit it when I slow it down, but it's just so fast at normal speed that I can only hit it for SP occasionally. I've generally played without having the star power from those areas, so I guess I just need to practice it some more as the SP is clearly needed for score purposes.

Finally, has anyone actually spent time to try to FC this song in Hard? I see nobody has done so but it also appears that echelar hasn't given it his full attention.

Does anyone else here have a problem with the second SP? The one that goes OOBBYYBBOOBB RO...I can't get it no matter what I do. I'm fine with all the other runs where it's two of one color and then it moves like what happens right before it and after it, but for the life of me I can't get that one. It really screws up my SP path and I can't understand why I can't get it. Hell, I nail the solo in YRGM more than I get this...I thought it might be the HO/PO bug, but I reset and kept quitting instead of retrying, and no luck...Any suggestions or people who have this problem would be appreciatied.
