Swing Part owns me :[

[Achillez]

Okay so here's the deal, recently I've seen that there are so many songs I could easily FC and just don't have the dedication to grind them out and get them. 3's and 7's is one of them. I can FC every section of the song every single time in a real run except "Swing Part" I just can't find a comfortable hand placement or technicque to hit it and it's very annoying!
I usually only miss once during that section and it's completely random but here it the place I have trouble.



Yes it's a dumb thing to mess up but I just can't stick it and it makes me sad

This owned me too as well for the LONGEST time.

What i do is alt strum the first set of chords, then after the switch to red blue i downstrum the rest. Its weird, but it works for me, so maybe itll work for you.

If you're not already, play it from straight second position.


3 3 3 3 3 1 2 2 2 2 2 2
4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

See how easy the chord switch becomes? Your ring finger doesn't even have to move, and your other fingers don't need any stretching or anything; they just have to hit the button they naturally should from there. Now it's just a matter of getting the strumming rhythm down. I can't help you choose; just pick downstrumming or altstrumming depending on which is easier for you.

This was my problem with the song before I FCed it. I downstrum that part and it just took time.

I down-strum the chord switches and alt-strum the rest, like so:

Works every time.

thats weird that everyone has a problem with this part and not the end solo. I had a problem with that part too but I guess i just got a lucky run. i dont really have a strategy except practice. And try to down strum it all cause it seems alot harder when you alt-strum

give the chord changes a bit more time. Hit the chords before and after the change a tad early/late.
The most likely issue is you are strumming before or after your fretting hand, try to make sure they sync up

i would altstrum and play everything in second position. thats all i can reely tell you. you just need to practice til you get it. make sure you are anchoring the proper notes instead of trying to lift your whole hand off of the fretboard and hit the next chord.

I alt strum the whole thing. I think people that miss in this part don't know when to switch their fingers. So take it into practice mode, on slower or slow and get used to switching at the right spot. Speed it up, and it should be easier.

i down strum everything, and use the HO/PO's. however, on this part here is my finger placement:

(for this part, i hit the first chord with 1 3 fingering, then quickly slide my fingers down to hit the triple chord).
