This song sounds the the shiz-nit (in a good way), but I'm disappointed. I five starred this sightreading, but I only got a three star on Decontrol my first time.

Here's what I do:

3 SPs, 1 SP, 2 SPs, 2 SPs.

If anyone does something different (2, 1, 1, 2, 2 maybe) I'd like to know.

Is it possible to get enough star power during those RB chords at measures 59 and 60?

I tried the 2,1,1,2,2 deal...I couldn't squeeze the SP out of the 3rd phrase for the life of me...although when I tried to get the 4th phrase I couldn't get that one either and I usually do 9 outta 10...so maybe someone with a bit more whammy prowess could try it

.... but I think you get more points if you just do 3,1,2,2...

21122 is possible. That's what I do, now.

That is my SP strategy when I can get the 2nd RB holds... I figure with my 96% average I could get around 265-270K with this path. I estimate 310K is a perfect.

Don't whammy the first three notes in the first SP phrase. Everything else must be whammied to full extent..

does anyone have any tips for the fast part between measures 79 and 83?? i can usually keep my finger down on the red and just strum the others, but every time i have to shift down to the green i mess up

No, you shouldn't have to, it's basically your anchor finger. You can do AlCim's strat but if you're inconsistant at trills like I am, I just slide my index finger really fast R G R G R for that part, but make sure not to lift your index finger after that switches or you'll lose that combo.

I'm actually getting fairly good at hitting most of the solo without anchoring my index on red. The orange stretch takes some finger dexterity, but it's by no means impossible.
