Wow, I guess I should proofread before I post... So I did have one question, I tried printing out some of the note charts, but I am not getting the whole thing, I don't know if it is a printer setting or what, but it will only print out one page, and it always cuts off after the fourth measure on each line, and I only get 7 whole lines, and then part of another. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey I wanted to thank you again Malictus for a great guide. I am still struggling with the whole squeeze thing, but I have gotten them here and there. Since posting before I have learned how to save and print the note charts for myself, and then I switched to just using paint and doing the counting and marking on it.

One thing I noticed that I some people may or may not be aware of is that when you have the same held note repeating such as in the beginning of Killing in the Name, it doesn't seem to matter if you hit the next note early or late you still get the full points for the hold. But this only works if the hold note doesn't change, just repeating the strumming. I am not sure how useful that is, but when I was trying to maximize my scores I always tried to hit the notes late if they ran into one another and sometimes missed, so now I don't have to worry about it if the note doesn't change.

Wow that probably isn't gonna make any sense when I read it tomorrow. Well hope that helps someone, and thanks again for the guide Mal.

umm, i guess everybody else understands it fully. kinda confused on what your talking about with the different SP techniques to use and hitting late or early. whammy bar always screws me up though, i only use it to get more SP,because when i try to use it on every long note, i end up missing notes. really sucks though cause i 98%, 99 % every song on expert and only have 1 songs 100% done on expert.

[img]2. When you activate star power on a held note, wait as long as possible to activate. You won't lose any points for doing this, and you might be able to add extra activation points at the end. [/img]

So wait, are you saying that you won't get extra hold points by activating SP while on a hold?

Like, what I mean, is that if you activate SP on a hold with 4x going into it, and have 8x for the second half of the note, do you get 4x times the first half of the hold note points and 8x times the second half? Or do you just get 4x for the entire hold note regardless?
