Woohoo, I finally 5 star'ed this one last night, giving me guitar god status on medium. I know, for most of you medium is for kids but I thought those last few songs were pretty tough
Anyway, the question I have for you people is how do you hit the 4 notes at the end of the main riff (the riff that the song starts out with) where you have the quick b-y-r-g notes? I would be able to 5-star this song every time if I could consistantly hit those, and my scores would be way above what I squeaked by on the 5 star with. I am very inconsistant with them though and of course every time I miss one I lose my multiplier. I don't know how I miss them, I feel like i'm hitting them perfectly but sometimes I get them and sometimes I don't. Every time I either miss one of the notes somehow or else I hit all the notes, but my strum and fret button are slightly off and it takes the last note as a pull-off and then the strum counts as an extra note. It's very aggrivating. I'm just wondering if you guys have some technique or idea on how I can hit those 4 notes more consistantly. _________________

Usually when this happens to me, I find that my fret fingers are moving too fast. Try laying back a bit making sure you strum before moving to the next note. _________________

Originally I had no trouble with the BYRG in medium ... then, after getting good enough to 5* most of expert, I found that I always missed these in Medium. So, I switched to using pull-offs (for all songs that use BYRG actually), and it's helped a lot. _________________

I had the same problem at first on Cowboys, until i discovered i was actually going too fast, and not too slow as i first thought. Might be the same for you, try and slow down a touch. |

I did try using pulloffs. I was never able to get all 4 notes with one strum so I started strumming blue-PO yellow-strum red-pulloff green. That kind of worked , but I was still missing a lot.. .i'd say my % of hitting the 4 notes was about the same as when I was strumming all 4 notes.
I guess I just have to concentrate on not moving my fret fingers too fast and practice it a lot more. _________________

My pinky isn't good enough to play BYRG consistently, so I switch my hand to index on R and slide it over for the R-G transition. Being able to slide your hand quickly and easily is very, very helpful on Hard. _________________

I actually hammer on those 4, but it still only works some of the time. That part and the y,rr,y,rr after the green/yellow chords screws me up alot. |

I've played it enough where I just strum them all. Out of all the BYRG's, I usually only miss one or two throughout the whole song. I want to use pulloffs, but consistently seeing those four notes go by with no sound at all is depressing. |

I don't know how, but I magically taught myself how to hit all these parts with HO's and PO's. It's really amazing, since I NEVER use HO's/PO's. _________________

probably should, it make your GH life a lot easier...i first heard of them because i checked out the advanced techniqes tutorial...they made it sound wat to complicated though...but i realized that's i've done them before without even noticing... |

It's really weird for me...I can't do the tutorial though.
I think it's because my fingers instinctively move too fast for the super slow HO's and PO's in the tutorial. _________________
