HowTo: Rock You Like a Hurricane Solo 3 FC

**anterth** · Joined: 15 Aug 2007 Posts: 661 Location: in Maryland

If you're like I used to be, RYLAH is a song you should be able to FC, but solo 3 just goofs it up everytime.
If you can make it past the

and then get stuck on the fast RYO trill madness, this is the thread for you.

so it goes like this:

======

I tried this section one-handed, tried it tapping, then i looked at the chart and figured out how to (at least for me) most efficiently use my fingers to hit this little section.
I finger it like this:

======
1 2 1 2 1 2 1 3

112113

2 1 2 1 1
Slide index finger up to yellow
Slide index finger back to red
Slide index finger down to green
Pulloffs
as you can see, the first slide of the index finger up to yellow occurs on the first orange note. This occurs because your index finger is already holding down red, and if you play the orange note as a YO chord, then you can pulloff to yellow, slide to red, tap yellow with middle finger, pulloff to red, slide up to yellow, and then hit orange again, and youre ready to then slide back to position 2 and strum your way to the FC.

Here is another way to finger this, if you just cant get the hang of pulling off from orange to yellow and then sliding...

======
1 2 1 2 1 2 1 3

212113

2 1 2 1 1
Slide index finger up to yellow
Slide index finger back to red
Slide index finger down to green
Pulloffs

This way feels less confusing because you're already used to trilling with your middle finger throughout this section, so you might as well just trill with it once more! and its still much easier to trill fast twice than to trill fast 3 times.

I hope this helps someone out there, as this section was such a pain for me.

Questions and comments are much appreciated!!

Good luck on your RYLAH FC's!!!!

Whoa that's actually a pretty good call. I should try that. I can hit this section just straight in 2nd position, but it's not consistent. I'll get back to this thread if it works for me.

I was thinking of something similar to this for solo 3. One question for you. How consistant are you at the solo with this method, and how do you strum the two fast blues in solo 2. 2 strums or 3 to make it even on your hands?

1 2 1 2 1 2 1 3

212123

1234 left hand (Right if left handed)
1234 tapping hand

I do it like this and hit it about 95% of the time.

You can also use your left hand for the first yellow if you don't elbow strum. Just do it like this...

1 2 1 2 1 2 1 3

212123

I don't know which notes you have to strum, I just know I elbow strummed all of them to get the FC in this section.

You can use your index or middle finger for the tapping.

Great idea. I've only hit that part once one-handed out of sheer luck and my tapping=epic fail. I'll have to try your method out.

Just a formatting comment; the pink and the yellow in your fingering section are pretty hard to read.

All you have to do to hit this is anchor red the entire time until the G hold, hit Y with 2 and O with 4..this was my 18th FC..

Great guide, but is hitting that part really this complicated? @_@ I simply trill like a madman with 1 and 2 and make sure to only hit the O twice and I've hit it without extensive practice.

Good post, I always felt that this section was an unnecessary tap, and let me tell you, I wont do it if I have to tap it. Fortunately, ive hit this section only once, and that was before I learned solo 2, and it was one handed. I hope your minie guide helps me get the FC. Thanks!

and so on....

do you have any suggestions for this part? i dont think should be that difficult of a part but i almost never hit it and i was wondering if you had any suggestions?
