thats why ive always thought that GH1 compared to GH2 was more difficult, no practice mode. no hyper mode.
Don't forget the broken Hammer-Ons/Pull-Offs...another reason I'll never beat Cowboys from Hell on GH1...wah.
well i havent gotten my 5 stars on that one either but im so close i can taste it.
i believe that you are referring to the opening lick that continues throughout the song, there is a way to master this without hammer ons or pull offs in a way, this is what must be done:
it revolves around using the HO/ PO technique but by strumming every note for the accuracy instead of relying solely on the HO/PO
first, know what notes are being played and the order: G R G R Y R Y R B R Y R Y B O
then what you need to do is look for the easiest transition from the [{G} {R} {Y} {B} O] hand position to the
[G {R} {Y} {B} {O}] hand position without missing the beat
i found for me, the best time to do this is playing the G R G (keeping the G finger down), then sliding my index finger from the G to the R and finishing the line (holding the R down) Y R Y R B R Y R Y B O
knowing how to stum is also key.
the upbeats and downbeats are represented by the lowercase u and d(the > is when the slide occurs):
G R G > R Y R Y R B R Y R Y B O
d u d > u d u d u d u d u d u d
i found that after practicing this pattern my score jumped from a trial run of about 130,000 to 230,000 which surprised me that i didnt get the five stars i was expecting but i now know it is humanly possible
go ahead and try the fingering without the game first and make sure you have it down a bit before you try the real thing
if you can get all of those tricky runs throughout cowboys WITH starpower at a full X8 then youll be in good shape, i gaurantee it
