Rock Band 4 Guitar/Bass Paths - 12/9 - Now accepting bass paths!

I have made paths for most of the disc songs. Obviously it's not easy to make optimal paths without charts, so some of them are better than others, but I guess it's a starting point at the least, so here they are. The scores I included are either the score I got or one I know is possible, along with what score is currently 1st cross-platform. I also have more detailed notes for each song like what my score was at certain 'checkpoints' or what other activations I tried that were worse, if anybody wants more info about a certain song.

Yeah, I'm killin' it!

I'm too reliant on charts (iPather, Ajanata, etc.) to be really effective, but I'll make sure to share my full band paths whenever those charts become available.

The Seeker (183,907)
2 - Immediately, as soon as you get overdrive (+1)
2 - Next note

Panama (168,263)
2 - YO
2 - YO
2 - 6th GY (+1)
2 - End of RB sustain
1 - GY

With The Seeker there is a way to make the first activation run short of the next overdrive phrase, and then you could change the activation to during the solo. I need to play around with that to see where it should be and such. Maybe no whammy immediate activation, but I don't want to miss some of those chords in the next overdrive phrase.

Pistol Whipped (180772)
2 - GR
2 - 2nd YB after 3rd set G-R trill
2(+1) - GY

I'm sure these could all be moved around for some more points, but I was focusing on the FC at the time.

These scores are not optimal but they can be modified. Feel free to use them and adjust them as you like. This should help for the ones you guys don't have down on here.

This is the path I just used to get 1st on Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo.

2(+1) - 3rd GR
2(+1) - 14th Y(or the NN after the YB YB BO bit in the solo if it helps)
3 - 1st YB

I don't own a Strat for the XB1, so no optimal BRE's or anything, but it was still 1st by almost 800 points X-plat.

Awesome paths good work

I can't wait until the midi files are able to be used tho makes so much better for an optimal path. But this is still really good work.

**BrianBAM19** · Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2016 2:35 am Post subject:

Another new path, this one for Start a Band. Cleared 1st by over 1000 and it's 4th on XBL. I think there's a few hundred points left to be had here, but I don't know how the #1 on XBL got 294K compared to 291K for the rest of us.

1 - 1st GY
2 - NN
2 - 2nd O
2 - 1st G(may need tweaking)
1(+1) - start of next OD
2 - 5th R
2 - 11th B

I have a path for Toys in the Attic, but I don't want to post it until I FC the song and can confirm it's good. I'll attempt to path out the rest of the missing songs here over time.

Just wanted to point out that 201,330 -should- be the optimal score for My God Is The Sun. The third-to-last activation (I believe that's the one that ends right at the beginning of the first solo) I activated on the second set of GR chords and the last note I hit was the blue note at the start of the solo. With some good whammying on the unison bonus and a late activation on the chord, you should be able to get that extra 100.

I also have first place on I Will Follow (roughly 200 points higher than RockBanditPhil's score) and I think it's because there were two squeezes most people weren't aware of. On the second activation you want to make sure to get the second YO chord under overdrive, and on the fourth one make sure to get the RB chord. Can't determine optimal since the third activation ends on a sustain, though.
