When I do it, I don't strum any of the hammer-ons, and I hold down the lowest note (red at the very beginning on bass, green everywhere else) the whole time. If you try playing it on Hard, learn that rhythm, hold down the strummed note when hitting the hammer-ons. You can actually play it almost the exact same way on Expert, just as long as you are sure to release the hammer-ons to hit the pull-offs.

I definitely only strum that's required but I dunno how to describe it. I know the song so well since DT are one of my fave 5 bands, so I find getting the rhythm of it really natural. Also I'm pretty sure the bass intro riff crops up in the guitar chart so I've probably played it before heh.
I don't anchor anything, unlike Kawigi, though.

Updated the OP. doobers: nice scores, now you just need more of them to leave us in the dust ;)
And sorry I haven't been as gungho about this rivalry as I should be. I got carried away with drums this week, and the stupid notch on the yellow fret on my guitar keeps killing my fingers. Anyway, I'll keep at it!

Ugh I can't 5* Panic Attack at all. Tried Painkiller and got about 4 and a half on my Bass SR. Doable, though.
Re-did a few scores but haven't updated yet. Wanna do a substantial amout of songs before I bother with the effort of getting photos off my camera and updating SH.
I also tried Visions on Bass for the first time in Solo play. It's been a while since I played it on Guitar so I wasn't used to the straing the pattern puts on me. Got a few nice combos but ultimately failed at 97%. Frustration overload.
---
Edit:
Did my uploading now, re-did 2 songs so they were FCs and some fresh SR scores.
New stats:
38/80 5*
19/70 G*
15/60 FCs
---
Edit AGAIN. Played some more:
50/80 5*
24/70 G*
20/60 FCs

Either of you guys played any more Bass the last week?
I'm trying to FC Lump atm. Just had 2 attempts, second was a -1. Definitely doable. I can't Gold it though Lol.
--
Edit: FCed Lump, yay. Got a few others, too.
New scores:
62/80 5*
31/70 G*
27/60 FCs

Hi! Sorry I haven't been playing often. I'll update OP, you're definitely in the lead though. I've been a bit distracted with going back to work and upcoming deadlines at work, so I'll be playing a bit in the future. Good luck and keep grinding.

No worries, I've just been enjoying it more so played a lot more. I'm back at work now, too, and I am also learning to drive (3rd lesson in 3 days today) so that's taking up some time :P

Bump for passing Shackler's Revenge and an update of the OP. I'm glad you guys are just as dedicated as me to this, that is, when you have time to do it you sometimes do 
I'm pretty excited about Shackler's Revenge actually, since it was one of the 3 on disc songs I couldn't pass on Bass before I started this rivalry. That's the point anyway, isn't it?

haha, I haven't played through frustration last few days if anything, but I've also cooled it down as I didn't wanna get so far ahead that you guys may lose motivation to carry on, as I really like this rivalry. It's my first one anyway lol.
Edit:
Hit the halfway mark for Golds  and just passed it for FCs! Got a few SRFCs and re-did De-Luxe to get the FC. I only need Round and Round now to get the first tier FC 
5 Stars: 71 of 80
Gold Stars: 35 of 70
FCs: 31 of 60
Career score: 9,258,353

Songs passed: 81/84
5 Stars: 80 of 80!
Gold Stars: 37 of 70
FCs: 33 of 60
Career score: 10,500,932
So yeah, first of our goals reached I can't 5* Shoulder to the Plow or Ace of Spades for the life of me, and I pretty much can barely 4* Chop Suey if I ever get a good run on it. That song is pretty much my worst on disc one for Guitar and Bass, I dunno why I find it so hard. I entered my 2nd runn on Visions (failed the SR) for the hell of it.
Oh, and I choked Round and Round AGAIN. It's the last FC I need fo the first tier.

Actually that technically means you won. I'm kinda glad actually cause things around here have been building up in real life stuff. My kid's about to start school, wife having surgery problems, and me trying to win this Facebook photo contest(see my sig ), so I really hadn't had enough time to keep up with this. Congrats, I'll update OP as soon as I can.

I'll update this after I get home today(9pm EST). Sorry Asphyx1ated, you've earned your glory. And my praise for making me improve a little on guitar/bass. I can now help my wife finish ESL on Expert Bass, up until Panic Attack or Visions, can't remember which one comes first.
This rivalry has taught me something though. I'm a drummer first, that's what I like doing on Rock Band. I can play guitar or bass if needed but I more enjoy drumming. Tbh my heart wasn't into this like it was in Kawigi/sunfan's drum rivalry.
P.S. Thanks for doing the facebook thing for me!
