GH1 Expert Help

I've 5* all the songs on Expert except the last 2 sets(minus Spanish Castle Magic) and for some reason I can't get Cochise either. Are there any tips for getting higher scores on these last few songs since the hammer ons dont work?

Have you ever tried learning how to do hammer-ons right? Because if you do, there should be little reason why they "don't work".

Yes, you should strum through solos. But when you get the hang of GH1 hammerons and pulloffs, it will make it much easier to keep combo, which is vital to scoring on those last few tiers.

I'm pretty sure a DVD burner is hardware, so that would make it impossible to download, I'm afraid.

I do strum through the solos but I still miss most of the notes. On the other games, I do fine with the solos, its just on this game I can't get them

The only hammer on to consider using in Cochise is the

grace note. To 5 star Cochise, use SP in the section with tons of chords if you can hit it.

Actually, I don't advise you trying to utilize GH1's HOPO's, they just don't work all that well. All of the top players strum every note, and only in VERY rare cases is there a proper time to use HOPO's. Just build up your strumming chops and you'll eventually get there.

There's a mini trill in one of Symphony of Destruction's riffs, which goes

. That's the only place in the entire game that I use HO/PO.

No reason why, I could easily strum it, I just like doing it. :P

I use HO/PO's for the turns in "More Than a Feeling" also. If the turn is:
