TMA, you can get reliable control from tilt activation. That's how I do it. And if I do recall from earlier in the thread, a person who used tilt had first on one of the songs. _________________

I'm happy for you. My experience with tilt has mainly been with the X-Plorer, and the tilt on that varied from immediate to 2 seconds after I'd tilted. That's not what I call reliable. Maybe the Les Paul is better, but I'd still rather hit the button and not throw my fretting arm out of position, meaning I'm less likely to screw up at that point. I still believe you'll have a lot of trouble getting the harder squeezes using tilt activation, and so ultimately if you want to master it, using the button is the way to go. |

I understand what you mean. I prefer the X-Plorer over the Les Paul (call me crazy but don't try to convince me that the Les Paul would be better for me) and obviously the back button is waaay out of the way and just pretty d*** hard to push with out messing up. I did mod my controller to use the rock band bass pedal to activate SP, making it extremely accurate, but I still practice tilt activation because I don't know how well it will be received at tournaments. _________________

I am a tilter and i feel i have greater control over my SP when i tilt than when i press....and also when i try to press i miss a note or two even is i pinky it. The best way to use tilt is if you have a good idea how long the delay is on your SG for the SP to activate. |
I agree completely. I learned to activate by tilting, and it just seems more natural to me. Also, if you play enough ( ), you actually start to tilt earlier to make up for the delay. I know I do. |
Ok, I challenge any of you, as a tilter with the X-Plorer, to get the SP activation in measure 42 of Frankenstein without overlapping the next phrase in measure 46. For reference, here is the path:

It was this song that finally forced me to modify my back button and learn to use it, and I haven't looked back. |

I've found (as an X-Plorer user) that the tilt sensor on GH3 is MUCH more sensitive than it was for GH2...I routinely missed timing the first activation of Inst. (right before the stream of greens) but never have any problems like that on GH3....as long as you tilt before the SP phrase is complete, it will activate as soon as the phrase is finished...very useful on songs like My Name is Jonas, Generation Rock, etc. _________________

If I tilt early, before a phrase has finished, with the X-Plorer I found it would not activate at all. Tilt has just not been reliable for me, and given that I'm repeating songs over and over again to achieve various squeezes, there's nothing more frustrating that having the hardware let you down during a run. Thus, I use the back button now. |

I have a question about whammying:
In a song such as mother, which was recommended as good practice for getting a half bar of SP from one phrase, how is it possible to early whammy without losing ticks and potential SP gains from the previous holds? I have tried several times to get this phrase, I early whammy the first hold, then, not wanting to lose SP gainage in that chord or the next, I play the second and third notes regularly, always coming up inches short of the SP.
Should I early whammy the 2nd and 3rd holds as well and sacrifice ticks and SP gains in the originally held chords to gain the necessary SP? Or am I just not whammying early enough on the first chord?
all help is appreciated! _________________
