F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X
Hey again! Merry Christmas ftw! My name's Johannes (not Jonas) and I'm writing this guide because I just finnished my CoP guide and wanted to write more!  Remember to CC and read carefully!
What you need to know before you start:
- The song F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X is hard to combo through.
- Im making this guide to help experiented players obtain a better score, and maybe learn something off it.
Table of content:
1. Hand position
2. Keeping the combo
- Overall combo
- Aggro
- Other hard parts
3. Star Power
4. Ending/Info etc.
1. Hand position
(Pics at main topic!)
Okay, first of all, I'd reccomend you to change your hand position. The thumb should be underneath the guitar neck, instead of on the side. This makes you able to play a LOT faster than you normally would do, and it also makes you able to stretch your fingers longer. It might be a bit difficult at start, but i guarantee it will definitly help you along.
(NB! Remember that the finger position only helps you move your fingers faster, it doesen't make you the fastest in the world, so you must work on that and not only trust your hands that you're fast enough)
2. Keeping the combo
Overall Combo
This song are built up on verses with very strange strumming patterns. Its not exactly a regulair beat but it's actually not so hard to keep the combo. Its pretty hard to explain exactly how the beat goes. You could try to turn down the sound on your TV, I don't know if it works too well though. You might want to check out http://youtube.com/watch?v=j42_lSAhSp8. Its Jameslikecoulter FC'ing it. And, as we all know, he strums way too loud
As for the verses:     you would want to strum like this: red = strum, blue = HO.
2 3 4 1 2 3 2211
o o o o o o oooo

Aggro
This is the worst part of the song to FC. I've actually never FCed it in a real run  . The hard shit starts off like this:
A)
Then the "easy" strumming part
B)        ........
Before the worst(?) strumming part
C)  
These are played like this:
The "A" part varies from person to person. Personally i like to play it like this:
4324324324324324324 3 2 4 3 2 3 2 1 3 2 1
While the most common way of playing it is:
3213213213213213213 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 1 3 2 1
Test it out, you'll find out your way soon enough.
The "B" strum part is played/strummed like this, where "d" is a downstrum and "u" is an upstrum:
........
d dududu s u d dududud u d dududu d d d........d
Also you can choose to "alt-strum" the whole thing aswell. Shouldn't be large difference.
Now "B" shouldn't be that hard to practice in, but "C" includes HO/PO's! Lets have a look:
d d dududu13d d dududu21d d dududu21d d
For the blue numbers(, you should use your index as 1, etc.,) pull off. For the "d" & "u"s, do as usual.
Other hard parts
After the solo, or the "aggro", there are only a few difficult points I'll look at. Now i don't remember their names, so that would be apprechiated if you post it as a reply
A)  
And the one i find hardest:
B)
And for the ending, a trogdor-like strum 
C)
Well, for the "A" part... When i play i always strum it like this:
du du du du du
and i always picture the rythm inside my head like: du du dududu. I don't know why, but it seem to work fine with me
The "B" is much worse. The thing i did to "kind of" combo this, was to take it to practice, and play it like I play Jordan bridge. Aha! Good idea: Play it like you play Jordan Bridge. If you strum it, you strum this. If not then you play it like this (exactly like jordan bridge: )
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o
^^^ Shit took ages!
The "C" part is impossible for me. I guess you could listen to the video i posted before and try to make something out of it. Practice is vital!
Star Power
I usually just use my startpower everytime i get it at once, but thats probably not clever. Thats why I'm leaving you this!:http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38767 The link to the official SP Discussion! Wow!
Well... Thats about it... Again! Damn... Well, if you have any questions or requests on something I did not include, please reply

What's with the 2 3 4 2 3 4 2211 fingering you had there? It's as if you're trying to make it difficult?

Very well done guide. The "Aggro" part was always difficult to hit for me, with these tips I might get the FC.

| Am I the only person who thinks that the notes on this song don't match up to the music? |
