Grats bongo.

 

 

 

Thanks dude ::'

 

 

 

Do you tap Solo 1? I refuse to try (I fail at tapping...), but I'm horribly inconsistent on switching between the trills :(

 

 

 

Anyways, major grats... someday I'll get that FC >_>

 

 

 

I only tap the trills, I tried tapping the zig-zag parts before but failed miserably :(

I find tapping trills is just ridiculous. I just move my hand down so I play the trill with my fore- and middle-fingers. Versus my friend who taps them, I win because the transition is just so much faster. It is also physically impossible for me to tap. My arm is so long that elbow strumming is out of the question, and using my forearm is very awkward. The only way I've managed to tap (TTFAF) is I hold green with my right hand and play with my left. It's hared for me since my fingers are often lazy and I don't release fast enough. Being 6'2" has it's drawbacks.

There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,

and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. That

regret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,

better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret.

It's experience.

Yay DLC! I've finally downloaded all the DLC (there was a sale on Microsoft Points at Target, and I abused it quite a bit :shock: ) and put in scores for all but two of them on Scorehero. Lacking those two, I'm currently in 17th... if I were to FC those two for my score input-ness, I'd move up to 6th (and I can FC both, they're the slow Coldplay ones... they're just so impossibly slow that I lose track of what I'm doing >_>). Obviously this isn't as competitive a scoreboard, as very few people have all the DLC, but it's still an accomplishment in my book. Along with a good overall rank, I've claimed two new high ranks tonight:

 

 

 

[hide=The Pretender]This score is 2nd across all (two) platforms (that support DLC), with Lo7 holding the higher score. Coincidentally, XBL never recognized his higher score, so I'm tied for 1st on XBL :D

[hide=Jukebox Hero]I never bothered taking the time to FC this, but it's a simple enough FC. I beat out Lo7 on this, claiming his 7th place on the song (which he shared with 7 other people, so I bumped 8 people out of their spot :lol: ). I'm pretty sure I could rather easily move up a few more ranks by actually attempting the last squeeze (yes, you can get 7th on a DLC song without even trying to get all the squeezes... as long as the squeeze you ignore is only for ticks)... I hate ticks.

So yeah... I decided to do the two Coldplay songs so I'd finally have all scores submitted... was not expecting 1st in both. I restarted plenty on each, because slow songs are such a pain for me, but I got all but one squeeze on Yellow (and apparently no one else has gotten that squeeze either), and all the squeezes on God Put A Smile On Your Face (though I missed a lot of ticks, which made me expect like 4th). Beat Lo7's scores on both (he had held 1st on GPASOYF [funny acronym] since the pack's release o.O) - and yes, I am now using him as a reference on all DLC, because he's the only amazing squeezer to have scores for almost all of it :) .

 

 

 

So I'm now 6th for DLC!

Meh...guitarhero.com has not been working for me for the past 2 days. No idea what the problem is. If anyone can get on there, please post the scores. Thankies.

 

 

 

I'll continue trying though.

 

 

 

Yeah no kidding, it took like 10 mins just to get to the scores page :shock:

 

 

 

1. SaidinWot - 254,424

 

2. DarkDude98 - 213,745

 

3. Jaziek - 211,361

 

 

 

Next Song: ...??

Expert, of course :)

 

 

 

 

 

Don't worry bongo, I bet you could FC it.

 

 

 

Yeah, on Easy :D

 

 

 

Hammerons/Pulloffs on expert?

 

It's not that simple :lol:

 

I'd rather see a Constant Motion triplets FC by bongo even though he doesn't have rock band. I've actually been working on FC'ing the triplets (not the whole solo), and I've FCed them on 70% and almost on 80%, but god dammit my fingers move faster then they do on like any other solo on 80% :lol:

At least 4 people (Jprez, iamchris4life, cirkit, Undead, and [possibly] CryOfThePlanet) have FCed the triplets in FSA, so you owe each of them $50 :)

 

 

 

Some more updates:

 

Starting with the last thing I did tonight, I reduxed Mississippi Queen just to see if I had gotten any better at tick squeezing, and indeed I had... a 36 point increase means 9 extra ticks!

 

[hide=Mississippi Queen]MississippiQueen-2.png[/hide]

 

 

 

Then the DLC...

 

Since I got the two 1sts on Coldplay songs this morning, I decided to redux Violet Hill... I had attempted the upperbound squeeze many times, and personally feel it is impossible, but one person has managed it... thus I was left to settle for tying for 2nd with Lo7 and ChadCasket

 

[hide=Violet Hill]VioletHill.png[/hide]

 

Having held 6th on Messages with only 12 ticks separating me from first, I decided to redux... and on my first FC of it today, I tied Lo7 for 1st :)

 

[hide=Messages]Messages-1.png[/hide]

 

Having successfully tick-squeezed there, I decided to go for Tina, another relatively easy FC with plenty of ticks to collect... I ended up claiming 1st all to myself, surpassing Lo7's 1st place by 16 points :?

 

[hide=Tina]Tina-1.png[/hide]

 

Finally, my only new FC of the night - Any Way You Want It... the solo had been an impossibility for me last time I played it, but this time a few minutes of practice had me nailing it. I wasn't about to go all out on squeezing a song I just learned, but after my first FC of it took 10th, I knew I could get a bit higher, and claimed 4th with a ReFC :)

 

[hide=Any Way You Want It]AnyWayYouWantIt.png[/hide]

 

 

 

I'm now in 5th for DLC, 631k points behind 4th ;)

finally got the ruby FC, but messed up the star power so I'm about 10k short of optimal.

 

also, after about 10 -1 runs of prayer of the refugee I'm so fed up of the song. I dont think I can be bothered to play it for at least a week.

I don't get how you can have so many -1 or -2 runs on a song. If you're trying to FC it and you've already run through it once with -1 for the score, why wouldn't you just start over when you miss? Seems like a waste of time to complete the song.

I got a progressively better score each run by about 500 or so points. Its all good practice.

Saidin, you are waaaay too good at Guitar Hero. Here's my comparison of how good I am compared to my friends. To regular people who don't play Guitar Hero Much, I'm really good. To my friends, I am horrible. You make my friends look horrible.

There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,

and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. That

regret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,

better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret.

For me it's, regular people I'm really good, friends I'm as good as them (except for one who can get like 650k on TTFAF), compared to Saidin, I'm pretty damn bad (except in Rock Band, which with practice he could pwn me at)!

I just realized, I added on Xbox Live a while back, but have never played with you :?
