Well, I've done some cool stuff lately. I finally learned how to tap the TTFAF intro and passed with 322k, I 5-starred the entire GH1 game on expert, and I earned over a dozen expert mode FCs on GH3. There's just a few things I'm having trouble with.
That's amazing Jake, I still can't seem to get the hang of the TTFAF intro, it just isn't my cup of tea with hundreds of notes coming at me that fast. :(
Plus I'm always trying to do it with one hand, but when I watch other people play the intro they quickly switch their hands over to the neck of the guitar and tap it with all 8 of their fingers, it seems pretty impossible to me.
1. 5-starring Raining Blood. I can get 180 - 200k, but I always lose my combo on the YBYRY spasm at Mosh 2 before the triple chords. I could easily 5-star it if I could just hit that part, which really frustrates me.
Hmm, I think maybe if you can hit that part you might not be able to 5star it, but then again, if you got your star power right you just might be able to do it. The 5star cutoff is 227k, so you're going to have to go at it with your all, if you can hit Mosh2, when you get your first 2 star powers, use it on the green triplets before Mosh2 and your score will rocket up, then get the star power from Mosh2 and continue to play like normal. Then you should come up to those GR notes, use the next star power there and the final two on the Flood, you'll need to be able to hit most of the notes in Flood of course.
It's a very tricky song on Expert.
2. 5-starring Psychobilly Freakout. Highest score is around 150k. That song is just messed up. I'll take any advice for this one. After that, I know I can 5-star everything else on the main setlist except for Misirlou, which I just need to practice.
This is the Raining Blood but on GH2, again, you'll probably just need a shit load of practice for this one, it's got a very weird rhythm to it. Sorry I couldn't help you on this one.
3. Passing Jordan. I do fine on this song until the downward runs before the solos. That usually leaves my rock meter at yellow, and then it's just surviving the solos from there. The farthest I've gotten on this was 60%, just before the song gets easy again.
RIGHT a song I've actually done! As you've said, you can do fine on the beginning part, so save all your star power up here and fill your meter (do NOT use star power at any time), so keep playing the song until you get to the downward notes as you've said you have problems with. I also have problems with this part, my best advice to stay in the green is to tap crazily and strum crazily so that you hit at least 70% of these, this should at least leave you in the green but very low, then hit all the notes until the first solo. Once you reach the solo, GO CRAZY. Make sure you're hitting some notes, if you stop or strum to fast, you're fucked, keep leaving your meter until it's blinking, now use your star power STRAIGHT AWAY, leave no chances here or else you'll fail straight away, the star power should last all the way to the last two or one hard solo(s), you're going to need to go into practice mode for these or else again, you have a very strong chance of failing.
Once you've got all the way past the blue note on the solo, you're fine, make sure you keep your cool at this point and don't get over confident, make sure to get the next two star powers (to use on the final bridge), then that should take you right to the end of the song, which you must've had enough practice on by now, and you've done it!
If any of you could help me at all with the above problems or just give me some alternate method of doing things, it'd be greatly appreciated.
It's a pleasure to be helping a good friend.
Since I can't quite seem to get any of these, I've just been trying to get more FCs. I'm currently working on Hit Me With Your Best Shot. It's an easy song and I know I can get it, but I always make some dumbass mistake in the solos. I don't really care though, I know I'll get it eventually.
That's the same with me as well, there's a few easy going songs that have an annoying part in it, another example is Paint It Black and Can't Be Saved, although both of these are FC'd now.
Good luck on those 5stars, FC's and Jordan!
