Yeah, I can't shift. It's like.. my fingers can't stay on the buttons. Say I'm doing a YO chord. I have my middle finger and pinkie on the fret and nothing else. So when it's time to shift I don't know where my fingers are, and it takes too long to do a quick succession of notes because I have to tap the button instead of just push it down. I suck. [censored] you, orange note!

It's always funny reading about the troubles of early-stage GH players because I used to experience the EXACT SAME THINGS. It's just like looking into the past. Trust me when I say it's all about practice, and when you get it you dont think about the placement, you just have a feel for it. Just keep on keepin' on

Poker; Guitar Hero. There's no difference. At first you may not be so good, but eventually, you find your rhythm, your game.

lol sorry had to copy negreanu in that pokerstars commercial

For alt strumming - do you guys grab the strummer between your thumb and index finger and just move down and up fast?

so I've been playing a lot of battle lately, and have been trying to figure out methods of mastering Lefty Flip,among the other powerups. What I've found is that if I'm on the same difficulty level as my opponent and they use Amp Overload or Lefty Flip on me all I do is hold my powerups (if I have them) and just look at their fretboard. so far it's worked like a charm, as opposed to mashing, turning around,watching the notes,etc.

Also, at certain points in songs it becomes pointless to try and make someone fail; so when I reach a certain thresh hold I just hold on to my powerups. the most valuable being the whammy bar as it automatically takes the death drain powerup away from them for at least one SP phrase. The broken string also takes it away the vast majority of the time.


Anyone else out there have any tips or tricks they use in battle?

I'm pretty sure I've reached a wall. The japan venue on hard. Tried two songs and can't beat either of them even after spending an hour in practice mode.
