Please do not post your own guides in this topic, this is my topic and are designed only for my guides. If you feel an urge to post a guide, please make an individual topic on your own.

If you feel like I have told you that you may post your guide in this topic, you have most likely read my post wrong, or just misunderstood me.

Also, when making my first GH2 guides, I wrote them in individual topics. Please do not awake those dead topics, and spare your "bumps" for this one.

Thank you for your attention.

Hello, I'll be posting all my "How to play" guides in this topic! Make sure you check them out and give me some feedback! Ill make many, so don't worry.

I've recently found out how to make links to one specific post, so from now on, I'll do that.

Oh, and here's an umbrella!

For those who struggle with understanding how to place their hand:

Wrong position:

Yes its shitty because I had to hold the camera with one hand and hold the neck with another.. Actually the thumb should lie underneath instead of bent like on this picture... I'll make another one

Right position:

Click to enlarge - My camera sucks, and yes, it does look shitty from that angle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From now on when typing down finger positioning like this:

1 2 1 3 1 4 1 4

I will try to use proper colours/marks, so it will be easier for you to understand. This is the full list: (I might add more later on)

Black number: 1, 2, 3 or 4.
This is your finger from 1(index) to 4(pinky).

Red number: 1, 2, 3 or 4
This means it is a "tapped" note. It means you use one of the fingers on your right hand to "tap" the buttons.

Green number: 1, 2, 3 or 4.
This means that you slide the finger (marked in green) down to the fret underneath.

Blue number: 1, 2, 3 or 4.
This means it's a hammered-on note, where you held down the fret below.

Yellow number: 2 or 5.
This only occurs when you use your 2(right hand index) or 5(thumb) to hold down a note, before swapping your hand position from normal to "up-neck". (Mostly used for holding a combo on a held note.)

Dash: -
Used when illustrating it's a held note.

Period: .
Used to tell you there's nothing there at all (but air).

Indigo P: p
This one's hard to explain. It is used to tell you that you have to take a very short break between alt-strumming sections. Explained in detail in the Psychobilly Freakout guide.

Red and blue o's: o o
These are here to tell you if it's a strummed (red) or hammered/pulled off (blue) note.

Thats about it. I think it's pretty universal. Please alert me if I'm missing anything

I would reccomend some GH3 guides since very few people are still playing GH2.

Umm, I request that you put all the guides into one post, not just the links to them. That way, all the guides are in one spot and are easier to find.

...but if you dont do that then the mods will frown upon TS&G being swamped with many threads from the same user...

...you could just make each new guide a post in this topic and then link to the post instead of a whole new thread...

Please don't think i'm a selfish jerk or anything but a lot more people have trouble with raining blood than hangar 18 and institutionalized, yet your guide for raining blood isn't as good as the other two... like all it talks about is SP usage and Mosh 1... once again not meaning to sound like an asshole i'm just sayin maybe make that one more in depth like the other two and many people (including me of course) would probably benefit a lot more.

I love that you post CC for me, I'll think about it before posting new guides

.

For firebuzz, can you please explain to me what do you find missing? Do you want me to explain more about hand position and hitting the frets? Please tell me so i can improove this and future guides

The more song guides the better. There aren't any official, like Brady type guides for GH so I think this is the best way to create that. LegendarY is making a ultimate solos guide which is also very good. I think the moderators should make a special section just for individual songs, kinda like the note chart guides but instead of showing best star power paths, showing how to play the songs and tips and tricks for them. These guides could also include star power optimal paths as well. It would be better than clogging up the technique, style, and gameplay forum with questions about songs leaving that for questions about how to learn altstrumming, hopo's, etc.

Some guides that you might want to make are One, Through the Fire and Flames, and Marvais Garcon don't know spelling). I personally don't deed them, but it seems like alot of people have been asking for help on those lately.

Your guides are very well written. Especially for somebody who doesn't speak English as their first language.
