Fun fact : This Medium song has an Orange note in it. Talk about useless info :P

Also, the easy version has a blue note.

That threw me off the first couple times I played it.

I'm using 2-2-2-2 and I'm 7k off #1 - do I just need to tweak the activations?

You need to break up the 2nd 2 into 1's, so it's 2-1-1-2-2.

Yeah so the 1-1 never happen for me b/c im assuming you have to whammy the tiny little portions between the chords. At least I can't do it and whammying just the long parts won't give me enough SP to activate

Edit: I really am glad I stopped doubting myself took me 3 runs to get both and FC it

This sucks. Thought I had all the activation points optimized, turns out I can't get any more than 159800. This is what I use:

2 - Full whammy on first SP, whammy on first 3 holds of the 2nd SP and activate immediately after the Yellow
1 - 1st GR chord in measure 35
1 - RY chord in measure 63
2 - immediately
2 - RY chord in measure 115
