Makes the fretboard move quicker which makes it easier to see what note comes next (As the notes are more spread) but you have less reaction time. It only changes how you see the notes appear, doesn't effect how easy/hard it is to hit them.

I finally did something interesting!

 

 

 

First, story time: Guitar Hero hates me. As soon as one problem is fixed, another crops up. DLC appears to have finally stopped freezing. I celebrated. Then, the past two days, my guitar decided, "hey, I feel like double-strumming just so Saidin can't do well". I had one run where literally every single note was double-strummed. A potential 600k run on One was shot down to 555k by double-strums. Evil. Today, however, Guitar Hero felt like being nice to me. Not a single double-strum through an entire hour of playing.

 

 

 

Story time over.

 

 

 

On One, yesterday I was hitting FSB and FSD with such consistency it was scary... but the double-strums destroyed my score. Today, I was able to FC everything outside of the Fast Solos, but there was no FSB or FSD consistency to give me that small extra boost to my score :( Nonetheless, I was able to improve, and got this:

This put me up to 44th on XBL leaderboards, so once again my Scorehero and XBL rank are the same!

 

 

 

To continue with Metallica reduxes, I moved on to The End of the Line, which has very few FCs and horrible scores on those FCs. On my second run of the day, I pulled off a -2 (I'm consistent everywhere in the song except Solo B, on which I'm semi-consistent, so a FC is not out of the question), which put me in first on XBL:

Sadly, a PS3 player (Rexisfed, excellent Playstation player in general) had a higher 1st, but I'm slightly better than him at star power-ness, so whenever I do successfully FC this, I'll have 1st!

 

 

 

Aside from these progresses, I've choked on That Was Just Your Life AGAIN, this time simply because I forgot to strum >_>

After buying Rock Band 2 recently, I didn't play GH3 for about 10 days.

 

 

 

The difference between the two games is night and day. After adjusting to the tighter Rock Band 2 hit window, I flew through the last two tiers of GH3.

 

 

 

Almost.

 

 

 

I managed to beat Before I Forget (forget hammer on chords in Rock Band 2, we need them right here), Cult of Personality, Number of the Beast, Cliffs of Dover, and One (even managed 4 stars). Only things giving me trouble are Mosh 1 and Flood! in Raining Blood, the only main setlist song I haven't yet beaten on Expert.

 

 

 

And then there's Lou, which might be a small problem.

Lou is cake on expert, all you have to do is the wammy trick.

 

 

 

and how is one supposed to 5 star through the fire and the flames on expert? my best is 360k and its the only song left on expert to 5 star. I also cant learn to squeeze because i am using an explorer :cry:

 

 

 

any tips for fcing the stricken solo aswell?

I suck at GH3 :(

 

 

 

I got 42% on TTFAF and I've played 3 times. My cousin who owns it (am at his place, and playing on his PS2) only got 32% though, so I feel better :lol:

Yes! First run of One in a couple months, and I finally five starred it. Pic is coming as soon as I find my MicroSD card adapter. My score was 465k (94%, 850NS). I missed an easy star power after the solos, so I finished with one phrase in my "meter", so if I had hit it I think I would have gotten 500k. I overstrummed a ton on the Darkness sections (Riff = 99%, Verse 1 = 98%, Bridge 1 = 100%, Verse 2 = 98%, Fast Bridge = 99%). So that's why my percentage is 1 below Saidins, but he got 100k+ more then me.

 

 

 

60% on FSA ftw.

 

 

 

EDIT: First run of Number of the Beast in a couple weeks, finally five starred that too! (421k, 94%) I'm on a roll!

 

 

 

The only main setlist song I have to 5* now is Raining Blood, tips plox? (the only other GH3 song I need to 5* is TTFAF... duh lol)

how the hell did you get TWIE and NFMH? I cannot get anywhere near 5 stars on those two, but I can 5 star NoTB and One anytime.

Yar I know about TWIE and NFMH, I haven't even 4-starred NFMH but I have TWIE, lol. Other than those two all I need is TTFAF, FCPREMIX (20k or so away) and Raining Blood, all 4-starred.

 

 

 

FC'ed Avalancha yesterday, though. Yay.

 

 

 

EDIT: I also have 500k on both One and NotB. Easy, really.

^ I nominate NFMH as the worst song in GH history.

 

 

 

Well I've been stuck at 51 FC's (just got La Grange...finally) on Expert, and I decided to take a shot at hard. So far I've managed to obtain seven firsts for PS2, and I know I can get first overall on TTL, NotB and 3's and 7's...

 

 

 

[hide=3's and 7's, Hard, 1st place PS2]3sand7s--Hard100--333914.jpg

 

 

 

I actually first place overall the run before this, but I choked in the last solo. In this run I had 16 ticks less...[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Number of the Beast, Hard, 1st place PS21]TheNumberoftheBeast--Hard100--49669.jpg

 

 

 

13 points away from 1st place overall -.- but I also missed a simple 200 which I've gotten in other runs before, so I'll get it soon.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Take This Life, Hard, 1st place PS2]TakeThisLife--Hard100--453586.jpg

 

 

 

This song is a HELL of a lot easier on Hard than Expert. The only thing you have to worry about is the trills, so if you're having trouble with this song I highly suggest you try and FC it on Hard first to get a feel of the song.

 

 

 

Anyways, I could've had first in this run, but I dropped over 150 points in ticks, putting me 30 points behind LemonMeringue who is in first.[/hide]

 

 

 

I'm planning to finish reduxing my Hard career and go for 60+ FC's. I've already gotten most of the hard ones out of the way, so it's just a matter of time before I get some more :D

I managed to get three FC's today, bringing my total up to 13! :twss:

 

Lay Down

 

My Name is Jonas (terrible SP, score was 3k below my previous -2 run)

 

The Metal

 

 

 

That's an FC in all Tiers 6 and below now as well.

 

 

 

Also had a -1 in Suck my Kiss, -2 in Anarchy in the U.K., and -3 in Even Flow.

 

 

 

Then improved my Pride & Joy score by 50k and got a -9 run, my current best.

 

 

 

I can only play on weekends however, and sometimes every other weekend if I have a band tournament (like next weekend), so ima try for at least 1 FC every weekend I can play. :ohnoes:

Yay reduxes!

 

 

 

Really haven't done much, as my parents have kindly imposed limits on my playing time until such time as I finish college applications (I'm a procrastinator...)

 

 

 

Today I did manage two decent reduxes:

 

[hide=My Name is Jonas]MyNameIsJonas-1.png[/hide]

 

I can hit the first squeeze with decent consistency, but the second squeeze gives me problems... I don't attempt the optimal third squeeze, but instead go for ticks - if Lo7 can't hit that squeeze, I'm not about to risk less points on trying it.

 

[hide=Even Flow]EvenFlow-2.png[/hide]

 

Had a run where I had made a stupid mistake, so I fixed that in this run... still no actual squeezing done, just using the proper no-squeeze path to boost my score a bit. Doubt I'll ever improve on this :(

Haven't had time to play much recently either, still have two Metallica songs to beat to have beaten all GH3 songs again, in one of them I can get a 1k note streak and then I fail in a certain bit of it, which I have since found via practice mode is repeated another two times, argh.

Three reduxes of decentness. Managed to miss an 'easy' squeeze on each:

[hide=Same Old Song and Dance]SameOldSongAndDance-2.png[/hide]

 

[hide=Avalancha]Avalancha.png[/hide]

 

Nothing horribly exceptional, but they were all horrible scores before this ::'

Hey guys! Just popping back in from my retired-ness to post this bad boy here.

Too bad I can't pass Mauvais Garcon for some reason. #-o

I shall take my flock underneath my own wing, and kick them right the [bleep] out of the tree. If they were meant to fly, they won't break their necks on the concrete.
So, what is 1.111... equal to?

10/9.

 

Please don't continue.

Congrats goat! Don't worry too much about Mauvais Garcon, it's easy once you know which chords to hit and when.

 

 

 

The credit card trick is starting to fail me now...my yellow fret is becoming unresponsive more frequently, making it extremely difficult for me to continue playing -.-

Yeah I passed it a few hours later.

 

 

 

And soon I am going to leave the PS2, and move on to the Wii for WT so I can play online.

 

 

 

I passed it again, 333k score. I'm getting to the point where I can pass the intro consistantly. Now I just gotta get to where I can pass every time, then my 4* journey will begin.

New 100% - Bulls on Parade

 

 

 

And then a lot of choking :s

 

 

 

Puts me to 21 on disc 100%s with still a lot of easy ones to get. I think I could get to 30 without really trying.

 

 

 

BoP was your 21st? It was my third or fourth...

Well I recently I got my first two FCs! Closer and Radio Song! :P

 

Working on BoP, WYWY, Sunshine of your Love, Slow Ride and CoFWRaR (For some reason I find this easy :S).

 

 

 

Here's my ScoreHero. I pretty much hadn't played in a few months and had only 3 stars on the first few of Expert so they pretty much are all sightreads. Click Here for my ScoreHero

Radio Song was my first FC. It holds a special place in my heart.

 

 

 

I didn't get BoP until like 17 or 18, it's that damn scratchy solo. Now I have 21, my 20th being Cherub Rock, the highest setlist song of my FC's. Only need RaRAN to FC set one and Barracuda for set two. Set 4 will come eventually, I have -1s on all of them except MNIJ and AItUK, which are already FC'ed.

 

 

 

Then it's La Grange for a FC in set 5 and God knows what for 7 . . . probably Stricken or 3's & 7's. CoD if anything for 8.
