Though the Fire and Flames

[Blaine]

I was wondering what methods, if you have any, you use for tapping the intro to TTFAF on Guitar Hero 3 or GH: Smash Hits. (The intro is the same.)

Now, the easiest way to show this is with a diagram, but it's hard to make on Southperry, because we don't have the emotes to make it easy....:f3: However, I have a solution. :f2:

This is the basic pattern of the intro. (Emotes borrowed from Scorehero.com (www.scorehero.com))


The next question might be, "Okay, so how do I read it?" Well, the easiest way is to put numbers below the emotes.

To signify your DOMINANT HAND (meaning the hand that normally does the frets.) Use the normal color for your posts. (A little message explaining your method will be good to work it out.) To signify the opposite hand, use a different color.

For each finger, use numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. 1 being the index finger, 2 being middle, and so on.

Now, my original method was something like this:

Now...that may look a little complicated, but it's simple. I used My left index to anchor Green, used my middle for Red, Ring for Yellow, and the Index on my left hand for Blue and Orange.

Since then it has evolved to this:

Now I understand, this looks "holy shit" complicated, but in reality it's even simpler than the first one I showed you. It's still anchoring the green with your dominant Index finger, and alternating the hand that plays the other note. If you pick out every other note, you'll see that half are red, half are blue in my case. It's rather simple...iamchris4life used it to get the first FC of TTFAF ever.

So...tell me what you think of this guide, I can show other methods as well.

If you want anything else about GH explained, or you have a "How the hell do you do that?" moment, come here and I'll explain it with the emotes. :cool:

Another decent metal song, ruined by Guitar Hero. :(

Don't say things like that unless you're going to explain yourself. >.>

[CloudStrife]

i use to tap the intro using method 1 but to be honest the song is more of a pain to play because how fragile the strumming bar is in the GH:WT guitar, when i finish playing it i feel the guitar will stop working after all that strumming but yeah i 5 starred gh:wt and im missing raining blood on gh3 any tips on that particular song?

[Blaine]

Certainly, just tell me which part(s) you can't play well.

[Takebacker]

I don't know about whatever GH game you're talking about, but i beat it by holding down green and instead of tapping the buttons and holding the hammer on, i just tapped each botton and strummed each note that wasn't green. After the strum i'd really quickly let go of the button so both that button and the green was hit. That made it so i didn't fail.

Score wasn't very high though, lol.

[CloudStrife]

i use the star power in mosh 1 and most of the times i can keep the 8x(although its incredibly easy to mess up).
The next part with the green button a few times and the chords i think its called verse 1 the change from the green to the chords its the issue im sure i could 5* if i could keep a decent multiplier in that part,btw what star path is the best? ive been told its 2-3-2 but there might be a better star path

Then yours would look something like this...

Perhaps? Check this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35HYi6ERNz4&feature=channel_page) and see if it could get you any ideas for tapping.

This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbvjWqUJ6CY&feature=channel_page) is the highest score I have on video, my actual highest is 765k right now, hovering around 94-96%.

EDIT:If you can make it through the Mosh well without Star Power, save it until the section after the Verse. If you can perfect all of that, wait until the SP Path in that section, and use it immediately afterwards. The 3-note chords will get you the most points. :goggle:

I dunno if any of you have ever even tried to do Bridge 1 in TTFAF, but the end of it looks like this...

It doesn't look that hard but it's at about...26.3Notes Per Second (NPS)

Any ideas?

@CloudStrife, I'll write you a guide for Raining Blood in a little bit. :goggle:
