May 8, 2023
Oh yeah I got YCSRIA a few days ago. This has been a work in progress for quite a while now. I had the tapping method down for a bit, but would never be 100% consistent. Luckily my new "PS3" (aka Wii + adapter) guitar seemed to work much better, and I was able to get the FC really quickly.
Video: https://youtu.be/5Mp-o8Lcu3c
Speaking of new guitar, the reason I decided to get an adapter was because i was able to get access to all the GH DLC on PS3. So I've been spending most of the past week or so plowing through that. Hard to know exactly where I want to get as far as a FC count, but I'm hoping for at least a preliminary 400 FCs out of 496(?), which should be more than reasonable. I'm just shy of 200 right now, so I still have plenty of songs to play.

March 14, 2023
So 1C finally clicked. Just had to get used to the strumming speed and decide what to strum and what to hopo. Basically strummed all the blues outside of the OBY trips, and then decided strumming through the yellows was easier than starting and stopping. Took two chokes, one in the chorus, and one in the very end before the last big zigzag. Overall not too bad, and easier than EE I think

March 7, 2023
Been a while. Mostly been doing lots of RB3 DLC/RBN. Decided to play GH80s again and managed to grind out Electric Eye. Quite a tough song, and I was having a lot of trouble doing anything in real runs, but eventually it all came together. I'd like to get Seventeen, since solo 2 is pretty consistent for me now, but 1C just isn't happening right now.

April 6, 2022
Basically a month since the last update, and I finished the FGFC! Pretty happy with finally getting it done; it definitely took some work. I had a bit of an epiphany when I decided to try the towel trick for hyperspeed. That helped me not rush, and also it helped get a better feel for the calibration, which I always struggled with. Love Bites was the hardest song for me, but that, King For a Day and I Will Wait definitely gave me the most trouble overall. I'd still say TYMD is second hardest, but i guess I lucked out.
Videos of the last 10 or so songs are all on my YT if you're interested.
Oh and I randomly got the DJH FGFC for fun, so that's "two" FGFCs I suppose.

Now that that's over with, I'm going to continue my RB DLC journey as a way to de-stress. After that, I'm not sure. Maybe go for revenge on Scatterbrain or Institutionalized. Maybe clean up the last two doable songs in WoR. Maybe go for TKAR while I got FGFCs on the brain. We'll see.

March, 7 2022
Quick little update. I managed to get Battery a week ago, so I can finally cross off one of my goals for the year lol. Video and more details on my YT.
I squeezed that in on the last day of February because I am devoting March to GHL. I've had this game for a little over a year and always get frustrated and annoyed with it, so I never fully got used to it. Since Mr.Scientist FCed TTFAF and has been bugging me to try to get the FGFC since before I got the game, I decided I'd give a good month or so of effort as a reward. So far it's going pretty well, and I've added 5 FCs so far. A few easy ones left before it gets pretty ugly. But let's see how far it goes.

February 26, 2022

SFTSG FC Video here
Let me just sneak in one more for the week. This one was the most unexpected by far. It's once again not on my list of goals, or even one of the potential options. But it definitely feels good! I go into a lengthy description in the video, but basically the section sucks. Getting consistent on as many bits of it as possible is nice, but there's still going to be a bit of luck with it, unless you're super good.
Here's a rough image of my method for the first half, showing the notes I tapped.


February 23, 2022

Video here
Guess I'm not done with WoR yet. Another grind that wasn't as painful as it could have been. I had a couple chokes in Gomorrah, one at the very end, but I got over it pretty quick. Feels good to be back in the groove, maybe I can keep the streak going. I'll probably try YCSRIA a bit, otherwise maybe I'll sniff around my other close FCs and see how they feel.
Maybe I'll actually get something on my list of goals lol.

February 20, 2022

Video here
Oh apparently this wasn't even on my immediate list of goals lol. It was definitely one of the easiest songs I had left in WoR though. I may have disagreed at earlier times, but the strumming and solo 2 weren't much of an issue this time around. It basically boiled down to solo 1 consistency. In real runs anyway, I was doing just fine in practice lol. My method was to fret two zigs, tap the , fret a zig, tap , zig, , zig. When it worked, it worked quite well. Only choked in solo 2 quads because I tried to start one hand and then tap, but then I figured out I was better off elbow strumming and tapping all the quads.
Not sure what to go for next. This game is so hard.
January 6, 2022

No video, because I didn't expect to get it as early as I did. So yeah, first things first, this was done on the GH2 Deluxe Rocks the 360 PS2 custom disc. There's no strum limit, but I didn't think it would matter too much. At some point I might go back and do it for completion sake, but it can wait. Before I fixed my 360 guitar, I was playing the disc and going through the DLC, and tried this a few times and it just felt like I had a good calibration and wanted to keep trying.

Anyway, yeah this has been in the overdue category for quite some time, so it's nice to get it done. The trills are the obvious hard part, but the weird part with the strums afterwards gave me some trouble too. I ruined at least one run there yesterday. Today, I practiced it a bit and figured out how to use the hopos effectively.
Mostly this FC took a while because I'd often screw up before the solo. The Red yellow trill bit in the main riffs is always missable for me. I also had a choke in the final verse, in the chord change, which was sad but kind of funny. Altogether, this current grind didn't take much more than an hour, so can't complain.

Nice job on S&D, that solo is so...yeah.

There are plenty more FC's you are capable of. Check out KitN, TIGRYTR, and LtR. I'm sure you could also get LTMR, but that's just so damn choke-able. Did you really get minus twelve in the outro? Ouch.

Yea it was pretty lame. I think i only missed 2-3 by nerves then the other 10 were just out of lost hope and anger.

I considered the other 3 songs but LTR i wasn't consistent enough on, and KitN and TIGRYT have stupid strumming sections that i can never FC.
But i'm kinda done with gh2 for now I think.

I think i'm gonna go try ghwt now.
Currently 18/43
EDIT 24/43.

hey, what do you know, my goal is 150 FC's across the first four games, too!

I'm at 138 right now, I believe, if I want to get there I'm gonna need some work on gh2... (35 FC's) but yeah, good luck with the 150, and Impulse is a nice FC to have under your belt... I could never dream of hitting the funkiest riff, most psychotic breakdown, and the trill all in the same run! and SaD is ridiculous, as well

Bump for My Curse FC 115
Wasnt too bad. Once i figured out how to strum the fast section, i got it in about 2 tries.

I was trying for P&J for a long time today to no avail. Kept messing up the awkward strumming parts in the solo, as well as the random fills.
It should be my next FC though...

Impulse and My Curse are hard I still haven't gotten them at 51 FC's. You should be able to get 150 easily. Good luc.

^ thanks, you've got some pretty tough cookies that i dont see myself getting anytime soon.

Bump for P&J.

also, 2 -a few runs on Kool thing in the 2nd to last stupid section (You know which one). I'm expecting this to be my next FC - a bit overdue i guess..

Bump for Kool Thing and Down 'N Dirty FCs.

It may seem like this will be really easy for me since ive gotten 8 FCs in like a week but i never seriously worked much on GH3 FCs recently.
IMO 55+ FCs on GH3 is much easier than 30+ GH1

I HATE kool thing, lol. I FC'd up to the last fast strumming streak once and missed. I was so mad that I replayed the song and just strummed as fast as I could so I could gold star it lol.


good luck on your 150 goal, I don't think it will be any problem!!

The Seeker FC.
Pretty easy actually. I practiced bridge around 10 times, got it twice. First run FCed the song.

next 4 will be Tonight gonna rock, Jessica (HATE), YYZ, and 3's and 7's (lol). Also i FCed the noise build in KitN twice yesterday, so it may come soon.

Tonight and Jessica both have the hardest parts at the end = anger.
Jessica has multiple spots that aren't hard yet missable = more anger
YYZ i can mess up in main riff, drum solo 2, and the solo.
The first time i played 3's and 7's in a while i overstrummed in the last solo. Since then i always screw up somewhere in the part before solo 2...

Good luck on 3's & 7's...that song was such a pain in the ass for some reason it should've been #30 for me but I would always choke somewhere in the Swing part.

Bump for BiF and Monsters FC.
The hardest part in BiF is the choruses idc what anyone else says >.>
I FCed bridge everytime.

I need 7 more GH3 songs for my rivalry and im trying to think of which ones.

So far im thinking Stricken, RYLAH, NFMH (each section i can do pretty easily, i havent really tried a full run in a while), and CoD.

Stricken i havent touched since my outro choke (first time i FCed solo)

RYLAH the last solo is stupid, no solo is consistent enough for me to be happy

CoD i have good tapping days and not so good.

I hate that outro with a burning passion. I choked on it at least five times before finally getting the FC.
