You guys are way too good for me now. :lol:

 

I know, same! All the time I spent playing drums on Rock Band made me so much worse. I downloading Guitar Hero 3 PC right now so I can play custom songs without buying a modded PS2! I can't wait until it's finished downloading, only 6 hours and 35 minutes left! :lol:

Yeah aim for higher :P I can't even beat KoC on hard, but each day brings me closer.

 

 

 

Well, that's exactly what I intended to do, aim higher, and I got this...:

Miss Me?

 

 

 

Thanks a ton SaidinWoT for filling in for me while I was away. You saved me a lot of time and energy. I have a very olf laptop at my vacation house and only dial-up. -.- It would have taken my forever

 

 

 

I'll get straight to updating the private forum.

Glad you're back Diesel, though it was kind of fun to be head of the competition :D

 

 

 

My recent progress: Lacking much

 

Rank 103 as of posting - would be rank 100 but other people improved too (how dare they?!? :evil: )

 

 

 

Before I Forget FC - 559,938 (another 'WHERE'S MY 560k?!?) bumped me past the 13.7m mark for career score. That FC was a long time coming, considering how many times I -1ed or overstrummed (generally on *the* note that the bridge ended on, or the one after). I do want to redux for improved score, since I'm horrible at whammy and know I could push it more, but for now I'm pleased.

 

 

 

Minus Celsius FC - 274,737 - missed one of the SP activations (due to whammy!) and thus want a redux ;)

 

 

 

Radio Song ReFC - 195,463 - reduxed because I can... and it needs yet another redux, because, once again, whammy screwed me out of some good points

 

 

 

Ruby ReFC - 205,378 - I think this one was mostly good... I don't remember whether I want to redux this or not :| It just sort of... happened...

 

 

 

Take This Life 6 star (6.2) - 459,310 - I could actually FC this... I can do each section individually, but I have one of those horrible tendencies to mess up... (for anyone who doesn't understand the '6 star', at scorehero.com they have an extended star rating system that calculates how many stars you *would* get if it continued to add them based on multiplier... I don't feel like explaining all of the mechanics behind it)

 

 

 

And that which I am most proud of:

 

Prayer of the Refugee FC - 370,006 - Not proud of this for the FC, it's not that bad a song, proud that I got the 'Nearly Ideal' score on my first FC run, and that I'm currently ranked 29th on XBL for this song (the person at Rank 7 also has this score, so I'm effectively Rank 7 :) )

 

 

 

And unfortunately, that's all I have for improvements... expect some GH:Aerosmith work when it comes out though - I should be able to work through it pretty quickly

Add your blog to the BlogScape Index!

SaidinWoT can now be tracked easily on weekends - Erm, maybe when I start playing again.

This song kicks [wagon], and the best part is I'm getting much better at it. My old score was 326k, so this is a big jump for me :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Stupid slips under starpower in Breakneck and Metal Battleground 2 cost me the 415k, but I doubt I'll get anywhere near 450k unless I build up endurance...Ah well, I'll try for 425-430k in a bit.

 

 

 

By the way, here's my ScoreHero page if anyone's interested: http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?use ... e=0&diff=4

 

 

 

Only ranked 450th on PS2 because of my lack of FC's (and the ones I have FC'd I didn't use a path for the majority of them!). I'll get in the top 400 soon though :D

Easiest guitar hero yet. I've 5*ed the entire game already (except bonus songs) :lol:

 

 

 

If you have Frets on Fire or Guitar Hero PC (and know how to put in customs) and go on fretsonfire.net and sign up for the forums, you can download the charts for the whole game. Apparently European versions got leaked and its all over torrent sites if you know how to convert PAL games to NSTC and have a modded console.

Anyways I think I'll pas on GH:A and get Rock Band this summer. I want to have practice on the drums so I can be good for GH4.

If I recall correctly, WrecklessMeade has a different name here on Tip.It....my apologies that I can't remember. :oops: (Isn't it you again demon?) Oh, well. I won't update that score untill I'm sure. (If Wreckless is Demon, Bongo will have the third place score)

Quick question. I keep hearing people talking about strumming up and down? I cant seem to do it without messing up. Is there any proper technique? I can only play on medium :| . I have 5 starred all the songs on medium on GH2 and I can't seem to get past the second tier on hard difficulty. Any tips?

I only tend to double strum on really fast eighth notes, or sixteenths. It's really up to personal preference and how fast you can single strum. As for how to do it, well... just use your thumb and index finger to hold the strum bar, sort of like you'd hold a pencil.

 

 

 

As for other assorted advice... I don't really know what to say. I just sort of skipped hard once I figured out how to play and just jumped into expert. Try keeping your index finger on red (use index and middle fingers for green + yellow), and make sure to exploit the hammer-ons and pull-offs. Don't be too heavy with your fingers - keep it light. Figure out how much pressure is needed, and only use that much. Oh, and don't panic. ;)

 

 

 

Of course, I guess this advice isn't coming from a master, but hey - I can do most expert songs. :P

how fast is fast when it comes to single strumming btw? I can do the rock you like a hurricane intro downstrumming, which none of my friends can do. Just wondering.

 

 

 

Most people down-strum F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X because of the difficult rhythm, and that's a fairly fast song. I pretty much alt-strum everything unless I need to whammy, because I can't whammy that well in my alt-strum position.

Well i'm not sure what song your on, since your in GH2, but the only songs that really need alt-strumming in GH3, are songs like One in hard or expert, holiday in cambodia expert, or knights of cydonia hard or expert. Not many songs need it, but its not very hard once you find the right rate of strumming and then you'll be fine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a side note, I can't get past Holiday in Cambodia for my Expert campaign :wall: . The Intro knocks me out every time.
