KiLL CraZy Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 ok, wow, this song is pissing me off, im not a pro at expert but i can get by it, I beat all the songs, and this one song, Green Grass and High Tides, its the last one, i can get through more then half, but when it gets to the last solo part, i thing solo h 2 or something like that the notes become yellow, red, green, yellow, red green, for like a min straight and it freaking kills me. the hammer ons in this game are also weird compared to gh3 which i can't seem to perfect in rock band. Now I was finally able to pass that part once using overdrive and then almost finish the song but then those damn notes came back being the fast orange, blue, yellow, orange blue yellow for another min... and I had no more overdrive. this song is pissing me off lol does anyone have any tips on how to master those 2 sections?

Spot2009 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 For the first fast part (YRGRYRG), hit only the YRG notes. If your fingers are fast enough, attempt to hit the overdrive phrase on that section. There's a second fast part (BYRYBYR), which can be passed w/ a little overdrive usage if you must, but use the same tip as above. The final part of the solo (OBYOBY) I would recommend hitting every other phrase or hitting every two phrases. If you have trouble obtaining about 4 of the overdrive phrases that are from the 2nd section to this section, I can't help you on that except that you should concentrate on obtaining the overdrive, even if it means missing notes.

kojurama Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The reason the hammer on's are harder is because on gh3 you can just hold the button until it reaches the note while in rock you have to time it like in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabid Piranha Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 this song sucks balls because it's super easy and then they just kick you in the ass at the end(not to mention it's like a 10 minute song). I read this somewhere and did it and it helps, although not TOO much but does help but go to practice mode and practice 2i. Get to where you can nail that part pretty good and that way you don't have to waste your overdrive on it or the BYR part. Pretty much it's just hoarding the overdrive till the last possible minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toki Wauna Noki Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 i8n rockband the hammer ons were made to be harder to play because if you use the rockbasnd guitar you can just use the solo buttons which makes it easier than GH2 or GH3 but if you use the GH3 guitar the hammerons are wierd because in a basic 3 note hammer on the first 2 notes are a hammeron and the last note must be strummed this happens in alot of songs in RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedFate Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The HO/PO's are harder because Harmonix made it that way on purpose. They wanted it to more closely represent having to play the music in time, not just "get close enough". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feel My Rage Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Toki,whats up with you?The only positive thing I've seen from you all day is that your band has some good rankings on certain song.Everything else I've seen from you is just bitching this game out!

Toki Wauna Noki Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 im not saying the game sucks its just that the guitar is easier but the big thing for the game is that the drums are fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feel My Rage Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Dude,the guitar is easier because its made by Harmonix,not Activision.Activision lives to make things difficult.I should know...I've played all the THPS games except for Proving Ground.Everything just gets increasingly harder. And whoop-de-doo for the drums...I'm a guitar fan(sorry,I havn't played this yet,waiting for christmas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcrazyiii Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 This is going to be the end of me. Great song, hands down. Just... too much on Expert. By the end of the godforsaken solo, I just don't have it in me to get all those pull-offs and hammer-ons, and I've failed this song nearly 10 times. That's insane, considering how ridiculously long this song is. I won't ever beat this one I think, it's much harder than anything on Guitar Hero possibly other than Jordan and TTFAF... I just can't beat it. It's incredibly easy but for the last minute, then I just can't bring myself to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spot2009 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The hammerons are not necessarily made harder, they were created equal to GH2's system, considering it is the same system except points are worth 25 instead of 50. But at the end of the solo, just move your three fingers down so you use your index, mid, and ring finger. Also, just try to hit a few of the sequences and try to strum only at the orange notes.

IONz Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I finally beat this song a few hours ago and really all I did was move my 3 fingers(index, mid, and ring) like crazy as well as trying to strum the green and the yellow notes. I have no idea how many times I tried it but I somehow survived it this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel My Rage Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Key word there Chupa...Solo buttons....opkay,key words.Still.You don't have to strum with those so it will help tremendously with that solo as far as i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakardi boy Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 sorry guys i dont see whats so hard in this song. i fivestared it on my first try. the solo is not that hard. mabe its because i practiced freebird like a bitch on expert. i got 276,000. can someone xplain the solo buttons i dont understand them what is the differance between the old guitar and the solo buttons.

Feel My Rage Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Well,the solo buttons are obviously used for SOLOS.You can just press the solo buttons durring a solo to play the notes instead of strumming through the whole solo and all that. Thats what the solo buttons are used for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virulence Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Does anyone else find timing those solo HO/PO's to be nearly impossible using the Fender? I know it's much more strict than GH3 but I just can't seem to get any weaves to work whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feel My Rage Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Its because its just like on GH3 virulence.You have to hit the HO/PO at EXACTLY the right moment.It mimics a real quitar.In GH3 you just have to press the button before the note goes through the thing(dunno what its called or what to call it) that you have to use to time your strums and play the note right.Got it?

shiningcheese Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I beat the song first try on expert, but thats because Im sure its due to the fact that I played too much GH3 and the simplified solos in rock band are a breath of fresh air. I absolutely despise the rock band guitar because the buttons stick and the solo buttons are way too close together for my tastes. I just used the GH3 les paul and used three fingers. Thats the way unless u have the patience to f--k with the rock band solo buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabid Piranha Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 i just hate how the whole expert career is so easy (including this song) but they just couldn't resist a song with an 8 minute solo lol. is it just me or are the little rectangles harder to hit and pick out than the standard circles of guitar hero? i feel like im gonna go blind with em but when you play the drums, the rectangles are pure genious...i wish they would have implemented both.

ntsshap4aol.com Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 ok im sick of everyone saying how easy this game is, yes i beat it on expert on the first week too. but i truely feel its the equivlient to guitar hero 2. although GH2 probebly took us much longer to beat than rock band, our skill level wasn't as high also. since we're so much better since april, we're able to beat harder songs. AND DAMN AM I GOOD AT THIS GAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT advice. I failed this song at least 10-15 times before I read this, and passed the first time I tried using this idea. You won't fail either section if you only hit YRG and BYR and then you can save the overdrive for the last part of the solo that goes OBYOBY. Thanks for the advice!

aswipe21 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yeah me and my buddy are struggling on those last couple of parts on the last solo too. Definitely gonna try the advice given by everyone but does anyone else know of anything to help us. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1n3t33nd3lta Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 wow, If my whammy bar wasn't already broken, I'd break something else on the guitar. This song angers me, a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
