Lets take Shiny Cow's fc vid of this song for a good example, hes 10th place all platforms and ticks off first (alot of ticks, but still):

-He moves the second activation up 1 note (-200)
- hits the third activation (-ticks?)
-hits fourth (-ticks?)
-misses last (-200 + maybe ticks)

Assuming the other players above him didnt hit either of those squeezes, those are the squeezes he missed (second and last) and those are the toughies. Im sorry, i think i was mistaken that the second activation started at the last RB chord >_>... my bad. Seems you were right.

So if I hit the second squeeze perfectly (which I can now easily do), according to the optimal path, I could be first by 200 and then some?

...Sweet. I'll have to FC that when I decide to stop playing GH:M :P

Yeah, I don't blame you for thinking it started on the RB chord. It's a pretty ridiculous squeeze if you start on the red, and you wouldn't believe how much I have to abuse the timing window to get it. I squeeze the R so that I have to alt-strum fairly quickly to hit the RB on time, and then I treat the

as

. It's huge, and it's probably one of the best squeezes I've ever done :P

Well, I've tried and tried and tried some more, but I just cannot finish off any run in which I manage to hit the squeeze without choking. I'm just going to try for 266,4xx for now instead of getting worked up over outsqueezing random people on a GH website :P But yeah, it's very possible, so if any of you insane squeezers wanna try it then give it a shot. The outro squeeze, however, I have never managed to hit

Also, in the most epic feat I've ever achieved, I just got 60 FCs on Guitar Hero 3. I will now be taking the two shiniest banners that I can get:

My next task is to get 24M in career, and I have added it to my Goals list. It should certainly be a nice break from a stressful FC crusade, since the songs I need to improve on have tons of missing points and are currently not FCed by me. So instead of trying to FC them, I'm simply trying to improve on them. Maybe now I won't maniacally attack my poor Les Paul out of frustration for a while

...Though maybe I should get BiF now since it's the closest one I have... nah, its time will come whenever it's ready

Congrats on 60 FC's. You have some great scores. I wouldn't be surprised to see you making a lot more firsts or top tens.

Congratulations on 60 FCs and a Cliffs of Dover FC

! That song is so awesome and hard!
Also, good luck with a 24M career and with 65 FCs if you're going for them

Damn, you beat me to 60 FCs. I have 59.5.(overstrums FTL)

That's good work though, and you earned a nice looking banner too.

Niiiiiiice.

That's been my goal for a while (I was actually trying to beat you to it

) but... I guess I just got schooled. :P Major congrats, man, that's an amazing landmark.

Any tips for Black Sunshine?

I can't get that one for the life of me! It's supposedly really easy, but I just don't see it.

All I need is that and KoC for my 60. I choked post-fast strumming, though. FML.

You are quite amazing, 60 FCs is pretty darn challenging, and I know I was overjoyed when I got 40 yesterday, so I can only imagine what you feel like.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! GHAddict, this may be an obvious question, but what problem are you having with Black Sunshine? I used to have trouble with the trilly part moreso than the breakdown. If it's breakdown help you need, though, first examine the chart. It may sound a bit mundane, but knowing what you have to do helps a lot sometimes.

So you have two full scales, a quad scale, a triplet, and another full scale. I play straight from second position:

4321143211321143243211

Give that a shot. However, you should also take care when it comes to speed changes.

According to the actual chart, the second scale is actually a couplet and a tuplet, not a full scale. This is a more accurate representation:

The GH3 is pretty lenient, but it may help to know that.

Now for my own progress.

...I was so close to 8*ing every possible song.

Somehow, some way, I got a -6 on Cult of Personality. Now, that was miraculous enough, but the real kicker was my score: 360,314. Yep, 400 points away from an 8*. Wow. So Thunderalex, if you come in here, I was completely wrong. I think you know what I'm talking about

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I got the fingerings down... For the broken up scale (the couplet and the tuplet) I'm going to play it as a full scale. Do I play it early or late to best abuse the timing window?

I really think it's the speed changes that rape me there. Damnit, I was hoping the answer wouldn't be "practice, practice, practice." OK, then, I'll just get to work.

The other spot that kills me is the Verses. I can get it, just... inconsistently. I can ace scales like in TDWDTG, but I never get the 5-note scales in the middle of nowhere. i.e. Kool Thing--I only ever messed up the scales. Nowhere else. Ever.
