Beat: Don't know how to squeeze

[/ QUOTE ]

Use the whammy bar on the chorded notes during the star power section.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not what squeezing is.

See http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Guitar-Hero

[ QUOTE ]
To do a successful squeeze, activate star power JUST as a note passes by, and strum it. Then before the star power ends, hit the last star power note slightly early. I can manage to squeeze a couple more points out of a song by doing this.

I've actually done this before "by accident". Pretty sure Id completely goon it away if I purposefully tried. Man this game tilts me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It's weird, but Cherub Rock is one of the few songs on Hard that I can 5-star.

Somewhat related to squeezing, but off on a tangent.

One of the good things about the Guitar Hero series is that it scales to different skill levels very well. I'm never going to be at GT1T's level, but I don't need to be. I can master Medium and Hard and still get a lot of enjoyment out of the game.

One of the ways to get more enjoyment is to maximize your score. I posted about My Name is Jonas above. The first time I played it, I flubbed a note and got 176k. I realized the song was easy and FCd it for 188k. But merely by optimizing the star power path, I was able to get another 20k points.

I did things like that a lot in GH2, trying to optimize my path to maximize my score. But I used paths that others created. No one has created paths for GH3 yet (at least not a Medium level), so coming up with a path and optimizing was fun for me. Now I can do it for other songs.

The link I posted above ( http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6393 ) explains how to create your own star paths.

I eventually beat it... it was just training myself to switch between the three finger chords.

The best part about GH3 is that there are no songs like What I Like About You. That one was literally painful for me to play.

I hate that section so much.... on the plus side, if you get through it 5-starring the song is pretty easy.

The longer solo in Cult of Personality caused me the same problems-- I either fail that chart (most of the time) or 5-star it; nothing in between.
