This path got me 193K which is good for the current 2nd place score. There's a high-194K score posted currently and I'm not quite sure how to get it, since I didn't think I missed three chord squeezes on my run (although I'm sure I missed some).

All activation lengths are approximate within a note or two, and red boxes indicate no-whammy areas.

III. Activating/squeezing
This section is about activating star power at the correct time. This is extremely important to maximize your score.

Tilt or select?
To activate star power, you may either tilt the guitar (the 'normal' way), or press the select button. I find that activation using the select button gives me a much better control over the exact timing, so I always use the select button to activate star power. However, many good players use tilt exclusively and can still get good results. I would suggest that everyone try both methods and use whichever method seems to work the best.

Hand placement (assuming you want to use the select button to activate SP)
Many people use the side of their palm to activate the select button. I, however, prefer to use my pinky. To practice, put your hand in its normal strumming position, then rotate your wrist to be slightly more vertical. Now stretch out your pinky until you can reach the select button. You should be able to keep both your thumb and first finger on the strum bar, and still reach the select button. This is important for activating in fast passages.

I keep my hand in a normal strum position until right before an activation, then I begin to rotate my wrist so that I can have my pinky over the select button at the right time. It takes some practice, but it's not too hard once you get the hang of it.

What is squeezing?
This question gets asked over and over on the forums; the simple answer is that squeezing is starting a star power activation slightly late, and playing the last note or two of your activation slightly early, so that they are included in your star power section, and thus get you more points.

How to squeeze
First, remember to activate the select button very, very slightly before the first note, but not at the exact same time. You should hit the select button, then immediately strum the note, in one fluid motion. And remember, do this slightly after the note. At the end of the activation, simply strum the last note slightly ahead of the beat. The timing window on GH is huge, so usually you can push this a lot more than you think.

How do I know if I got the squeeze?
It's sometimes hard to judge if you activated a squeeze correctly, especially at the end. Watch the last note carefully, and see if the color changes back to its normal color just before you strum. Another technique you can use is to pause your game (assuming there is a rest in the music!), and write down your score, to see how it compares with other times through the same passage.

Advanced technique
Once you get good at squeezing, you can really push your squeeze to the very edge of the timing window. In some cases in fast passages, it is actually possible to squeeze in an extra note (or more) beyond what you could normally squeeze.

For practice
Yes We Can - Yes, I know how everyone feels about this song But it is great for practicing your squeeze technique --- there are no whammies, so each activation is an exact number of measures, and the tempo is slow which makes it easier.
Any song on Easy - I highly recommend trying this out on an Easy difficulty first, until you have the basic technique. Squeezing is much easier when you don't also have to worry about hitting all the notes.

re-edit my sp path it's:

2-immediately
3-on the GY hold whammy it and activate it on the next note, so that you overlap the rest of the third sp phrase.
2-no whammy (although i whammy a little bit and didn't overlap)
3-activate immediately

so i think this one is right, although it might not be optimal. i'm just going off of emptyset's note chart. i'm not the greatest squeezer so my sp activations are approximate. please correct anything that's wrong
