Well, many of you may have seen me complain about my newly found friend Cowboys From Hell... Well I just have to say. I FINALLY FUCKING GOT YA BITCH Woohoo! I screamed woohoo so loud when I five starred it, it feels like 500 lbs have been lifted off my shoulders, now I can actually think about getting a higher score on it and not about whether I'm going to 5* it or not. This puts me at 10.7 mil. I thought I was going to choke, (I actually did at the end) I was looking back and forth at the score and the notes on the final BYR YRG OBY BRY RYG part just before the GY chords. I had 156k at the GY chord part and saw I had a x3 combo somehow, and I ended up with 161k. I just want to thank krimsun for the amazing SP strategy, it helped me to at least 5* the damn thing. Though, I screwed up the beginning terribly... I missed the second SP so I had to skip the first GRYB SP. I made up for it by keeping a combo throughout the whole first verse... I also want to thank the guy who suggested doing the 1212323423234 fingering instead of shifting the index finger early. It helped me to get 90% of the mian riffs. Sorry for the long post, I'm excited. _________________

Thanks! I'm so excited, I was shaking when I got done because it was so tense at the end. I honestly didn't think I had enough to 5* it, but I got just enough. I'm sure Echelar had somehwat of the same fealing when he got his 5*, I remember his was really close too but I don't think it was this close. This is pushing it, lol. _________________

Congrats! Now my suggestion is to do what I did in my progress thread. Make goals to help you chart your progress. It'll keep you working on the things that matter (if score/rank is more important than just sitting down and having fun for it at least) and not so much on the things you already kick ass at. _________________

I hit the ZZOD (Zig Zag Of Death) in All of This last night. I was pretty stoked, if I would've used SP for the solo, then my score would reflect it but....
I'm missing 4k on scorehero. I have 10,983,000 on the game but only 10,979,000 on here. I'm only 17k away from 11 million. Can someone look at my scores and tell me which would be the easiest to improve? I tried Farewell Myth last night and I just can't keep a combo in that. CFH is worse than ever for me as well.... _________________

It will take a while before CfH becomes a comfortable 5* - when I first 5-starred it, I scraped it, and was unable to duplicate it on a consistent basis - now, if I don't get over 300K I throw down my controller in disgust, so worry not - you'll get there |

ZZOD, I like it.
Needs a little flavor though. ZZOD™
There we go. _________________

wULfe, That's the thing, I didn't just five star it, I've had it five starred. I'm stuck in a rut though. I'm stuck at 280k or less... I five star it every time. I just don't get a good score because I break combos and miss easy star powers.
benz0r, yes lol, that or ZZOD® but I like Trademark better. Remember, you saw it here first! _________________

If you can FC Sedated using my SP strategy in the forums you can add almost 20k. Smoke on the Water has 50k possible improvement as well. I would maybe try those songs.
Otherwise, Farewell Myth has a lot to improve. Try out ES's fingering in the forums (going 211 12 12).
Maybe Cheat on the Church. It's hard to tell you what to work on because I don't know your style of play. |

OK, good response drunk kovinc, those are actually songs I can improve on. Thanks.
I meant what songs did you find easy to improve on, 'cuz I know I can improve on all of them.... _________________

Dammit. I'm at 10,991,000 now.... I need to upload a couple of scores too... I need 9k! I need that solid CFH run of 400k and I'll be happy... though that would be an overkill. _________________

Diary Entry Sept 24th
LOL. I just got this like 45 minutes later! I overstrummed in 2 places and killed the ending, so there is room for improvment. But I'm aloud to be proud of a 300k on CFH for now!

Naw, triple posting, kinda. The posts were spread out by hours. I didn't feel like editing one post and having a half-page long post.
I just got a 100+k improvement on my score. I'm finally in the top 50! _________________
