3's and 7's GREAT TIP! Really works

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!

You're all crazy, alt-strum the lot IMO.

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.

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.

I alt strum the entire song, and am close to FCing 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.
