Bought a Wii and played GH3 for the first time yesterday. I noticed that a friend holds the guitar differently than I do. When you play is the wammy bar up above the strum, close to your palm, or pushed down below the strum by your knuckles?

Should I be training myself to use my index finger on green and red or my pinky on blue and orange? I don't think I can get over the urge to use my middle finger on red.

I wouldn't be thinking in terms of using one finger to cover two buttons so much as being able to shift your entire hand one way or the other.

That makes sense, I just can't train my mind to do it yet.

Finished the Easy tour over the weekend (ph3@r my 1337 skilz!). Beat Lou on the 2nd try, then managed to get through TTFAF on one try. I can't even imagine trying that song on hard, to say nothing of expert. You shredders that can do it have my respect for sure.

I wedge the whammy between the ring and pinky fingers on my strumming hand.

i think it's all about comfort. i only use my index, middle and ring finger. depending on shifts and what not, here's what i use:

index: green, red, yellow
middle: red, yellow, blue
ring finger: yellow, blue, orange.

i melt faces on expert too...ok that's a lie, i'm stuck on tier 5 on expert =( holiday in cambodia kicks my ass

Yep, if you look at the best GH players, they shift their entire hands up. E.g., during the Hellashes 97% Jordan video ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=d2p_A5BhSFE ), he shifts all the way up to index finger on yellow at times.

Lots of people have a "home" position of index finger on green, but I've always been more comfortable with a "home" position of red, either shifting my hand to hit orange or using my pinky. Then again, I'm also stuck on hard, so I'm probably wrong.

To hit the ending trill on Jessica I shifted by index finger all the way up to blue, but thats the only song I've ever done that for. The only other songs I can think of where I even shifted my index finger to yellow are Stricken, Shout at the Devil, Mother, and The Trooper.
