Through the Fire and Flames Intro Help?

linkismyhero · 10-31-2007, 12:57 PM

Okay, I'm confused. I can't tap (any tips on that would be handy), so I tried to do somewhat of an equivalent method... taping down the green fret and using my four fingers to hit the rest of the notes at the intro, as there aren't any chords in the intro. It's. Not. Working. I've gotten close to the end of the intro (4%) but that's as far as I get.

Any suggestions guys?

Tapping sucks and is hard, don't even try that.

My only suggesstion would be to play TtFaF under Practice mode and play it repeatedly under the "Slow" speed setting ONLY. Don't do "Slowest" or "Slower". If you do, you're fingers will adjust to that REALLY slow speed making it impossible to hit the fast intro.

Once under "Slow", hold down the green button with your index and use these for the rest of the notes-

Red - Middle finger
Yellow - Middle finger
Blue - Ring finger
Orange - Pinky finger

Practice OVER and OVER again using these fingers until you get comfortable enough to practice under "Full Speed." Then, go to full speed and repeatedly try the intro using the same fingering and see if it gets any easier.

Thanks for the advice, and I beat it! WHOOOOOOO!!!

Only an 83% notes hit, but I literally SCREAMED when "YOU ROCK" came up on my screen.

Nice man!! Now I just have to beat it. :P

ummm...dude...tapping is the way to go honestly...

you have a much higher chance of getting 100% of the intro if you tap.

My roommate tricked me into buying this game so I know what this all means.

Honestly, just tap the intro. I've gotten 100% everytime.

...okay, thanks for telling me to tap.

Now do you want to maybe give me some actual TIPS on tapping?

Practice. That's really about it.

Tapping sucks, don't do it. It's hard to learn especially if you're already used to doing crazy things like TtFaF's intro with only one hand.

I've blown through the TtFaF intro with just one hand easily, it's not hard at all.

Hold down the green fret with your teeth.

Use your left hand to hit the other frets

Down strum all of the notes your left hand hits.

Easiest way to BS it.

I used tape... but your method works too, yeah, I tried it... =o

I'll post a video soon. XD

So I just cleared it... I used DMW's method, because moving my pinky honestly doesn't work worth shit.

You're very welcome.

Anyways, hold down green with index finger and pick the first red. Then move your right hand up to the frets and quickly tap each one. Since the pattern is so easy to memorize, you'd be better off just remembering how it goes.
