Can't Pass "Green Grass and High Tides" on Expert

**SamusAranX** · Joined: 21 Dec 2007 Posts: 31

I can't get past the third solo (I think). I save my overdrive for the part where it repeats GRYYRG over and over again as one HO/PO sequence, but end up having no overdrive for the sequence where its RYBBYR in the same manner.

I hope you can tell what Im talking about. Please help me.

Did you try:

1) looking just below your post?
2) using search?

don't be so hard on him. Here's the obvious reason: you suck

But I would suggest replaying the whole career. That worked wonders for me in GH2
and practice, that worked wonders for me in passing hangar 18

Well i wouldnt go as far as to say play every song over, however it has some value. Playing other songs over because it adds to your skill. If you keep playing other songs, you'll maximize your skill. Once you return you'll be better.

But I think the problem lies with the very unique pattern. I call it the Freebird pattern, because its the first time i've seen it in a GH game, and is what essentially killed me in freebird. Any other time i failed after passing that, was strictly nerves.

Practice is the only thing that will beat GGaHT. No matter how you do it, its up to you. I hate practice mode, because frankly....its boring to me. lol. I only use it to learn new patterns. If you cant beat GGaHT, you will NOT be able to beat ride the lightning (as i can not). It SPAMS that pattern, and will make you move your position throughout the pattern, and make you add on your pinky. Its a beast...

If you have the strat, USE THE SOLO BUTTONS, they made me get through it on my 2nd attempt (failed at the same spot where you did.)

Although if you don't have the strat

I suggest practice, alot, frequently, everyday. Until you can do that part in your sleep, then try it again.

it doesnt matte rif you have a strat or not on that part. If you cant play that part, using the solo buttons wont help. Infact, the solo buttons i've foudn to be harder. When you are off rhythm your meter goes down because your missing notes, AND because your overstrumming. So actually using the solo buttons inaccurately hurts you harder than if you just use the regular buttons

For the

parts (and the similar

), I concentrate really hard on hitting the descending parts using the solo buttons, so I would play it like

. If I hit those consistently, then I can survive even without using Overdrive.

So the part I seem to fail on everytime now is the very very last part of the solo (and the entire song, ugh

). The part where it's a bunch of YBO hammerons repeatedly. I cannot for the life of me hit those propperly. The best I've done in practice is 70% randomly spamming the solo buttons, but I can't play the rest of the song on the strat (too used to the explorer), and i'd probably be overstrumming twice the notes I actually hit anyways.

Any advice for this besides practice practice practice?

The key is focusing really hard at the Orange notes at the end. Look where it crosses the line, and strum every 2nd or 3rd orange to keep pace. The problem is more than likely you're going too quick, that's always my problem, so just stare at where the Orange crosses and try and keep it accurate.

For the ziggies, I find that really rocking your hand works.

Hmm... If I had full OD, do you think it's possible to pass the end just strumming all yellow, or all orange? You'd miss a ton, but it'd be full OD.

I absolutely can't seem to hit the ho's there.
