Less Talk More Rokk.
(quite ironically :icon32: )

damn i was hoping they may have released a new one. I did get 98% of that song on expert though. I was fucking pissed when i died

do the advanced tutorials

hammeron/pulloff. its when you strum a note and then *hammer on* the next higher note without strumming. pulloff is the same in reverse.

you cant do it with just any note though. if you look closely you can see that there are 3 different kinds of notes; starpower (duh), normal note and 'open' note - the open notes are the same as normal notes but without the black border at the top. these are the ones that can (and should) be hammered on or pulled off.
try Shout at the Devil on medium in practicemode, the lick during the chorus is all hammeron

so I started playing medium...I kind of get what you mean about it being easier with more notes because it feel natural to strum at those moments.

anyway..about the hopo...am I right that you can basically tape down the green button and just worry about strumming on those parts since it is the highest on the handle anyway?

Only on easy when songs dont have doubles of higher notes.

[MKJ]

aye, you can hold down lower notes no problem, unless a chord comes along. then you can only use those 2 or 3 buttons.

Or 4.. Wait, thats only custom songs

Nothing like. Green Red Blue Orange notes...

[bitWISE]

The thing I hate the most about hopo is that missing a note in the series kills your sustain so you have to be prepared to strum again if you fuck up. I usually just blast through hopo sets strumming because (95% of the time) I can sync button press and strum before the hopo system plays the note.

[MKJ]

well duh

they could also do it like they did in gh1, i.e. humanly impossible :icon32:

How did they do it? Make you hold the previous note until after you transfer?

[MKJ]

yup, and for pulloffs you had to have the upcoming notes depressed before releasing the higher one.

the timing also had to be perfect, much stricter than strumming normal notes. sucked

[shaft]

I cant do hopos hardly at all....im never going to make it past message in a bottle on medium. my fingers are sore....fuck.

[MKJ]

the guitarbreak of Jessica on Hard is also a great way of practicing hopos - its like 24 notes but you only have to strum thrice times.
practice mode :icon10:

[shaft]

Im going to say this is one of the most fun games ive played on my 360 yet.

Soap you got info on that strum mod? Clap clap clap clap clap :<

[SOAPboy]

Short version.


Tear apart said guitar.
Remove strum bar
Theres 4 small smooth plastic spots that 4 small nubs on the strumbar collide with.
Use the SOFT side of a velcro strip on those 4 spots on the body of the guitar.

DO NOT velcro the strumbar itself. You will fuck it up.

Its really easy. Once you pop it open youll see exactly what i mean.

[dzjepp]

Does it quiet it nicely afterwards?

[SOAPboy]

Does it quiet it nicely afterwards?

Much.

The "clicking" of the spring buttons is still there, but that damn CLACK CLACK goes away.

I need to rip my new ones apart and do it asap. I havent played since launch because it drives me nuts
