The Hand That Feeds
I Get By
Timmay
Ballroom Blitz
Dead on Arrival
Detroit Rock City
Don't Fear the Reaper
Outside
Run to the Hills
Won't Get Fooled Again

We can get this started as soon as possible.

Tips on THTF =):

I play the 3 beats all RLR, that way I can step down on the pedal every second Right hand hit. I also kind of emphasize the pedal hit a little more with the yellow beats so that my foot doesn't get off.

While learning the simple syncopation (Red-Blue-Red) part, try using only your right hand, so you can still keep your foot on beat.

This will get you through the first 75% of the song, and save OD for end part if you need it. Every chain of notes at the fast section starts with your right hand, and your bass beat always aligns with your right hand. If you get off beat, let 1 or 2 notes go and realign on the next bass note, so your meter won't drop much.

This was the last song of the first 6 Tiers I was able to beat, and also 5* number 51 for me (yea almost 5*d WGFA before this), but now I can easily 99% this, so just takes getting used to =). So just figure I would try to help you out =).

I'll play!

I just beat reaper last night, took me 4 months of playing it. Its the god dam rolls in the middle. I finally was able to get by it, and what do you know, 5 stars.

All I have left to beat is:

I Get By
Outside
Run to the Hills
WGFA

For those of you having trouble with foreplay long time, just skip the first snare of the triplet and hit the simple overdrive parts that are in between.

Quick tip about foreplay/long time

For the intro with the 2 snares(red) in between the green/blue cymbals try to hit only one of the snares instead of trying to hit both and just going insane...taking your crowd meter down. just stay focussed and you should be able to make it through.

Foreplay/Longtime (the damned intro)

For the intro of I Get By, I beat it by just ignoring the bass pedals and focusing on everything else.

And for Run To The Hills, you just have to ignore the screaming pain in your arms until the end. At the end, they HURT!
