BlueTornado: I think I might throw in the towel....

**BlueTornado** · Joined: 12 Mar 2008 Posts: 2175

Well, not only has it been slow lately, it's getting to the point to where I don't find these games fun anymore. I have not improved much at all anywhere over the past several months. At this point, I don't know if I will come back to this series anymore. I will likely still post on SH, though. However, these games just aren't that enjoyable for me anymore.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got four new FCs on GH:WoR H guitar, putting me at a half-game FC (+2):

FC #46: Ghost
FC #47: Waidmanns Heil (I forgot that I had an OS, I fixed it)
FC #48: The Outsider
FC #49: Hard to See (That was unexpected)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, on GH2, I got to 16 million points on both hard & expert! Also, I got a 100% overstrum on Gemini hard. I can FC it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finally got CotC and Frankenstein. I got Frankenstein by a very small margin (~200 points or so). Now I'm at 45/47 5* for GH1X.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was my 6th FC. The chord changes finally clicked.

Also, I 6-starred Smoke on the Water and I almost FC'd Even Rats. I missed in 2 places, but I think I missed 3 notes. Also, I got to 10 million points on expert! Those were the highlights.

Unforunately, I missed the 5* for CotC by 300-something points

. I can definitely get that. I'm also really close to Frankenstein, but I'm less consistent at Frankenstein.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I got another GH2H FC: Collide. I'll post pics later. I have a lot of choices for what FC #30 could be. I will need to practice something to get it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually got these last week, but I've been busy lately. I just now got around to posting these. Two new GHWT Hard Guitar FCs:

FC #55 (Antisocial):
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0150_zpsc070c1dd.jpg

FC #56 (Aggro):
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0153_zpsa8de98b2.jpg

This one actually took a while. Eventually, I figured out the strumming for Verse 2. I might also go for Aggro on Expert since the charts have similar patterns.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Photobucket is crapping out on me at the moment so no pics this time.

Hard FC #44: Same Old Song and Dance

I also snagged three new bass FCs on GHWT:
#36: Hail to the Freaks
#37: Feel the Pain
#38: Kick out the Jams (this was easier than I remembered)

40 Bass FCs are possible. I might even get the half-game FC.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally got this:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0138_zpsbb0d4c72.jpg

That was a thorn in my side for a while. Also, I almost 7-starred Stricken. All of a sudden, I hit most of the Verse chords and FC's the intro. If I did better in the outro or not made a miss in the easy part of the solo, I would have gotten the 7-star.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I got my 15th GH3 Expert FC, and it was Anarchy in the UK. Unfortunately, it wasn't My Name is Jonas.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm too lazy to put pics up now, but I recently got two new FCs on GH3X: Sunshine of Your Love and Lay Down. Also, on My Name is Jonas, I missed in Acoustic Riff and FC'D THE REST; that was a great idea, wasn't it? There's only one measure keeping me from the FC.

Also, I 6-starred Minus Celsius. Watching my hands really works on that song. The funny thing is that Minus Celsius was my 65th 5-star, but my 52nd 6-star.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to mention that I have one of the highest non-FC scores of My Name is Jonas.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been on the RB side lately, but I decided to come back to GHWT, and here's what I got so far:

Hard FC #51:

Hard FC #52 was Stillborn, but I don't have a pic.

Expert FC #16:

Expert FC #17:

Expert FC #18:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, it's been over 2 months since I updated. It's been slow lately because of school and work. Recently, I just got to 18 million on GH3 Hard! I pretty much did it by re-FCing some old songs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GH3H FC #42:

I got it after I figured out the strummy bit before the outro.

GH3H FC #43:

I hadn't played this in a while, reverse choked, then a few tries later, FC.

I still can't seem to FC Miss Murder, though. I am horribly inconsistent at Interlude 2 and the Outro. I feel like I should have that now. I also still can't FC Helicopter

.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GH3H FC #41:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/101_0081_zps8a3686c2.jpg

Unfortunately, I have not been able to get many FCs on GH3 lately.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another day, another FC:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/101_0078_zps23d18d0f.jpg

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wanted another FC on GH2H, and I got this:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/101_0076_zps9d2d19b9.jpg
It took me a couple of tries to get it.

Also, I have a tech FC of Collide. I keep making stupid misses in the Verses. The verses honestly seem easier to FC on expert to me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GH1H FC #21:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/101_0073_zps462da8c7.jpg

Also, I got two new 6-stars on expert: Take Me Out and Fire it Up! For both songs, I used the paths on slowhero.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finally 5-starred BatM. I almost failed at the ending solo because I was shaking. I had 225k+ going into it. I even made a dumb miss in Verse 2 (not under SP). Whatever, it's done.
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/101_0071_zpse8f380bd.jpg

Also, Expert FC #5. I got this in 3 tries:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/101_0072_zpsf5f0dbf3.jpg

However, I still can't 5* CotC. What should I do to get more consistent at the chord changes? Namely

and

.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New FCs on GH1!

GH1H FC #20:

GH1X FC #4:

Not that hard, but it can be annoying with all the strumming.

Also, I am stuck at 42 5-stars on GH1X. I should be able to get 44, maybe 45.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've made some progress on GH:WoR yesterday. First off, this happened:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0960_zps6706494f.jpg

That leaves only Speeding left to pass in GH:WoR.

Also, I got two new 5 stars: Indians and Dance, Dance. On Dance, Dance I improved from 160k to 223k. I forgot to take a picture of that one. However, I do have a picture for the Indians 5*. For Indians, I use the hammer-on in the verse riff.
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0961_zps2538c6c2.jpg

Also, I got another FC:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0962_zpsc1cf5cd6.jpg

All of that boosted my overall score to 23 million.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm REALLY happy about getting this. I was also <2000 points over the cutoff.

http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0959_zpsb93dc64a.jpg

That leaves just Psychobilly Freakout for the Log! I'm terrible at that song, though. I'm still over 30k away from the cutoff of that one.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got two new GH3X FCs today. I got Reptilia as #11; for #12, I got Story of My Life. I wasn't expecting to FC it, but I did.
http://imageshack.us/a/img707/1209/1000933gc.jpg

Also, I almost 4-starred The Way it Ends. I got 250k. I am getting better at actually bursting the bridges, and for the other strumming parts, I have a speed in between the bursts. I was also hoping to 4* Nothing for Me Here, but I can't hit the

to save my life. That chord change can DIAF.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, there hasn't been much going on lately. I did get a new 5* and a new 4* on expert, though.

First off, I 5-starred The Breaking Wheel in GH1.
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0915_zpsfd6934fe.jpg

In addition, I decided to get this song 4-starred. It took roughly 50 tries. Needless to say, I won't be playing this chart for a while.

I apologize if the images are big. They were supposed to be resized to 640x480 but Photobucket is being really difficult. I might upload new images elsewhere.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0893_zpsb2156db3.jpg

I was just trying to improve my run from 3 years ago, and I get the FC. I wasn't expecting the FC. 40 Bass FCs are doable now. Unfortunately, I couldn't FC Re-Education through Labor or Misery Business on guitar, and I could probably get 20 X Gtr FCs on GH:WT.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, today, I finally passed Satch Boogie! Again, I don't have a pic. I finally learned to tap through Solo F. My score was only 94,515. However, I don't think I have ideal lag settings on GH:WT, but if I did, I could probably get 20k or so more.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, my camera battery died so I don't have pics. It's been a while since I've posted. Anyway, my 82nd 5-star was Prisoner of Society and I got Pretty Vacant for FC #33. Hollywood Nights and B.Y.O.B. are just

for me now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
...and this bird you cannot change.

Anyway, I have become ScoreHero's 193rd Freebird. After seeing other Freebird posts from other members of the community, I thought I'd make one, too.
The most recent reply from me in this thread is the post, but for ease of access, Click Here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I got another FGFC: GH:WoR easy guitar. Cabanon, SpoonMan, and Undead inspired me to get this. I pretty much never play on easy, but I wanted to pump out another FGFC. So, I decided to get GH:WoR easy guitar.

However, some charts were actually tricky. Chemical Warfare is harder than most medium charts and some EXPERT charts. Also, the timing on some songs can be counterintuitive. I don't really want to play on easy for a while. My next easy FGFC will be either GH2 or GH3. However, I'm going to focus on leagues for now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
First off, Hard guitar FC #45, inspired by pizzzapizza:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0855.jpg

If I put some work into it, I think I could reach 50 FCs.

Also, I passed this on expert guitar:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0857.jpg

In addition, I got to 77% on Fury of the Storm. I got through the OMGWTFBBQ section one-handed, but I failed at the solo that followed. I also got near the end of the intro in Speeding, also one-handed. IYWPPFW is being a pain in the rear, though.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finished out GH:WoR H guitar and I got 43 FCs. I didn't go back for the easyish ones I'm missing. I can get to 45 FCs, maybe 50 FCs with a little work. I also still haven't 5-starred TDWF on hard. For that chart, I find the solo parts mostly easier than the riffs. The riffs have very awkward timing.

Also, on expert, I did the following:

http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0854640x480.jpg

I got it my first try. I didn't think I would get it at first. I actually have more trouble with the

transitions.

http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0853_zpsf64d2e2c.jpg

I got it after hitting both SPs in the intro solo. That was barely 4 stars (2.008x). I could have gotten 350k+ but I hoarded for the second solo. I got 6 phrases, so I could squeeze another activation in there.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was having a block on GH1, and on GH1H, I wound up getting 3 FCs in one night. In addition, I got them all first try except for Infected. However, the only tries on Infected were for the 2nd SP phrase; I hit the solo on my first try.

FC #17:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0847.jpg

FC #18:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0849.jpg

FC #19:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0850.jpg

I'm also at 21 songs 100%'d on GH1H.

Also, I'm going through GH:WoR on hard guitar, and I'm at 31 FCs so far. I have some sightreads. In fact, I think my best sightread FC was Money for Nothing. I still have 32 songs to go. I think I'll wind up with 45ish, and I could probably reach 50 FCs.

Also... Happy New Year, ScoreHero!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After practicing Solo A, I decided to try and pass Jordan. When I was having an AWFUL run, I pass the song. Go figure.
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0781.jpg

I'm very glad that I passed it. However, I'm also disappointed in the fact that I only got

. I was expecting a

. If I can relearn the choruses and get more consistent at getting over 80% on Solo A, I could 4* this song.

Anyway, that's all 64/64 passed on GH2!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got a lot of stuff on GH2 over the past two days. To start off, I got two new hard FCs. When I FC'd them the first time, they were below my current high scores. I did re-FC #24, though.

FC #24:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0775.jpg

FC #25 (exactly 100 points below my old high, I'll re-FC this later):
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0778.jpg

Also, for the downstrumming antics, I 4-starred BatH and Passed Misirlou downstrumming only. More details here:
http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1788186#1788186

Pics:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I FINALLY 5 starred this song. Well, minus one thorn in my side:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0764.jpg

That is still one of my least favorite charts ever. It was also tolling on the pinky. I looked at my hands when the

came up.

Also, on a side note, there's a couple of Expert FCs I could get, but I keep choking them! Today was a chokefest.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I FINALLY FC'd this on hard. It was #39, don't laugh:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0763.jpg

I also almost FC'd My Name is Jonas and Reptilia on Expert. I think those would be my next two expert FCs.

Also, what should I get for my 40th GH3H FC? I'm thinking CoP, but I need to get consistent at the quads.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got my second FGFC ever! It was GH:WT medium bass. There were actually a couple of tricky songs. HfT's outro, B.Y.O.B., and the Tool songs are rather tricky. I also had trouble on Prisoner of Society. Nevertheless, I got my second FGFC! I also got my first optimal score in this FGFC.

For this FGFC, I'd like to give a shout-out to DrSham for a fair amount of the SP paths on pathhero. Also, I'd like to give shout-outs to Cabanon and SpoonMan.

I also earned this banner:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm currently going for a GH:WT medium bass FGFC, and today, I got this:

I was surprised I got optimal. Nevertheless, that is my first optimal score on anything in the series.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got some new GH:WT bass FCs:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0747.jpg

http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0748.jpg

I could probably get a few more bass FCs, but this'll do for now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, I don't have pics, but I finally passed BYOB on bass. That intro can DIAF. I also have one of the worst passing scores because I bombed the 1st and 3rd choruses badly.

I also 5-starred Trapped Under Ice on bass. I'm also up to 26 Bass FCs. I think I can hit 30, maybe 35 FCs. In addition, I think I can get the GH:WT FG5* on bass outside of BYOB. Apart from that, I only have Hollywood Nights and Prisoner of Society to 5*.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got two new hard FCs today, one of them unexpected.

FC #48 (Unexpected):
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0740.jpg

FC #49:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0744.jpg

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the recovery has been going well. I'm in PT now, too. I started last night and I was a little rusty, but today I got two new Hard FCs:

FC #46:
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0734.jpg

FC #47 (Sorry about the flash, that's the only way I could get it clear this time):
http://i631.photobucket.com/albums/uu31/BlueTornado_photos/100_0737.jpg

I also 5-starred Assassin on expert.

With how things are now, I'm using select since I haven't been able to tilt high enough. Also, I'll try not to overdo it. I'll probably play in shorter sessions, at least for now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went back to GHWT Hard guitar and I got two new FCs: Eye of the Tiger and Lazy Eye. I don't have pictures this time, though. Well, I'm up to 45 GHWT Hard Guitar FCs now.

Medium: Go for Rock and Roll all Nite it's easy and so are alot of the songs in the first 5 tiers.
As for hard try sabotage, story of my life(don't choke this song is very annoying), when you were young, and maybe can't be saved.

Nice job! Was this your first time passing Hard? If so then nice work, only move up to Expert when you feel the need.

Anyway, good work on passing toymachine on HGuitar. A much harder task is passing him on Vox but there's no need for that.

Anyway, I might go for some H FCs on PC if I get Guitar God on GH2

As for your GH future, I recommend staying for the time being on hard until you get 45 FCs. Expert will be much easier if you do it. 45 FCs isn't that hard on Hard >_>
