I downstrum all the 3-note Chords but I alt strum all of the faster parts. _________________

I usually just alt strum the greens only, and downstrum the rest, although I can downstrum the slower greens no problem, I just find it easy to alt-strum. Obviously I have to alt-strum the fast greens for FC though.
Also, while we're on the topic of 3s & 7s, does anyone sometimes have a hard time getting the tempo down for the series of After the entire first part of the song? I can usually get it now but that stopped me from the FC for a while, and my first 100% wasn't an FC because of an overstrum there and somewhere else. |

I can downstrum it, but alt strumming it feels so much cooler.
For someone who loves to alt strum, I can downstrum pretty damn fast. I beat Misirlou and Six only downstrumming. |

I altstrum everything in the verses.
My only issue is the chords just before the song takes a left turn from a punkish feel to a metal feel. Otherwise, I have the FC already! _________________

I alt-strum the entire thing and I've gotten a -1 run on it. Haven't worked on the song in weeks, but I'm fairly certain I could FC it with a good 30 minutes of dedication. |

Quote: | I play tennis though, it helps. | How does it help? I also play tennis daily and consider myself a very good player at that but I'm not a very fast downstrummer. Anyway, I think it's best to use a combination of alt-strumming and downstrumming. It's what I use and I am extremely close to FCing it. _________________

if you want more than a 5.8* youre going to have to learn how to alt strum it.
it takes 20 minutes of practice, literally. |
Haha, i FC'd this and mauvais Garcon with nothing but downstrums
(exept the 2 tiny fast parts in 3's and 7's) |

Almost everything in this song can be successfully downstrummed, aside from the 2 fast strings of green notes. Just because YOU cant do it successfully doesnt mean that other people cant, even if you are an excellent player.
As for the tennis comment. . . I fail to see how it helps to be a fast downstrummer. I mean, I play tennis and am a fast downstrummer, but still dont see how they connect. |
you took my side. And the tennis thing gives you arm strength= better strumming. I mean you could be a quarterback too, but I'm not. |

lolwut did you really? If you already had a 7.5* with altstrums then why would you even use my tip? It's for people who have trouble 5*ing the darn thing. I actually failed some of my attempts at 5*ing before I tried downstrumming. |

Ain't that the truth. There is not 1 song that I can say I downstrum or alt-strum the ENTIRE thing. _________________

I can get most of the rest of the song until the swing section near the end. I am missing some serious multipliers and sp by never ever being able to hit the transition from Blue/Orange x10 then 1 Blue/red to blue/yellow.
I dont know how to draw it out for you. Any fingering tips would be great. I am only 500 points of the cutoff and just want to get this out the way now as its taken way too much of my time. |

I alt strum most of the song. The only place I don't alt strum is the part after the 2nd chorus with the G note and the other 2 note chord following. It's easy to get the hand of. I'm only 6.2* but I'm working on it. _________________

But then again, I beat GH2 on expert for the first time without even knowing what a hammer on was.. So yea... I couldn't see myself down-strumming it. |
