I beat GGaHT on hard vox, expert guitar. I was pretty proud of that... espically because I used the POS headset as the mic... man that thing does not really work so well.

((edit:: my point being, don't use the headset because it's uhh... trash for vocals beyond easy.))

my 2 cents for those just starting on this.

while this topic says tips for guitar + vocals, I would recommend beginners try xpert bass+vocals to get a good feel for playing and singing at the same time. Bass is typically much easier than the guitar as it usually keeps a steady beat and has less complicated lines....when you get good, move onto x-guitar.

This may be just me, but when I did Bass+Vocals instead of Guitar+Vocals, I had a much harder time getting 5 stars, no clue why...

Possibly because it's harder to score well enough with that band, as opposed to vox+guitar? Just a theory.

Do the Vox/Guitar and Vox/Bass have the same cutoffs?

Maybe - but in most cases, bass has fewer notes, thus it's harder to get to the same amount of points. At least that's my thinking on it, I don't honeslty pay much attention to points right now, just stars.

Getting 5 stars with bass/vocals (over guitar/vocals) is more dependent on keeping your multipliers going. The 5* cutoff is something like 63% of the maximum possible score on the song (varies by song, but approx. that), and since bass can get up to a 6x multiplier, it hurts you more when you screw up and lose that multiplier.

On the topic of Static vs. Scrolling, I'll just throw my 2 cents in here. I use Scrolling, but I don't look directly at the vocals or guitar. I sort of focus at the space in between them. This way, I can keep track of both charts at the same time, and I don't have to make a full shift from one instrument to the other when one of them starts getting really tricky.

I find Sabatoge to be MUCH easier on vocals than the tier placement suggest. Only hard thing is vocals, but the verses should be easier, so try and listen to the words then almost immeditaly, sing it. Sounds hard, but it got me a 99% vocals, 98% guitar.
