GuitarFreaks Single Finger Crossovers

Megamanny · 11-25-2006, 02:58 PM

Just trying to get some information, but. I know this might sound easily stupid for someone who can do 75- songs.

For example on Riff Riff Paradise right when you get into the fire part of the song there is a series of key presses you switch back and forth from red to green a few times then green to blue a few times.

I ALWAYS fuck up here and cannot even get past the song because I mess up each and everytime and frankly it's pissing me off.

Does anyone else have this same problem with patterns like those? I just cannot seem to get them. I can't see what the problem is.

I dont understand "single finger crossovers", you use 3 fingers on the frets: Index, Middle, and Ring.

Well, self explanitory really.

Easier example would be a series of key presses involving red then green then blue. Your crossing over from one finger to the other Index to red, middle to blue and ring to green.

Maybe I didn't word it so right.

Like TL100S bass? I suck at those too.

Yeah, there seems to be something about Fire Ext's redundant pattern that throws people off. Even I couldn't get it right for a long while.

Annoying pattern.

BBH: Fire "shred" is rubbish.

Tocatta helped me get good at switching between single notes.

Megamanny - The FIRST thing that threw me about GF was the on-the-spot fret switches. Single, double, triple, whatever. I was absolutely stunned the first time I saw someone clear Lucky Staff for that very reason.

Weird timing isn't a problem for me, speed isn't a problem for me, length isn't a problem for me...switching is the 800-pound gorilla, and for many, many songs the #1 reason I can't clear it.

Eh. Whaddya gonna do? It's Guitar Freaks. It's supposed to rock you.

Well...there's Little Prayer on either normal or RAN mode to practice on if you're in the arcade and don't want to waste a credit on a long song...

For beginners: Robinson (ADV)

For novices: Agnus Dei (ADV -- and free stream-pick practice, too!), Gently, the rain sings for me (ADV), most Terra/BeForU songs (ADV), Die Zauberflote (ADV), 蛹 (ADV), 月光蝶 (ADV), model DD7 (ADV -- yeah, it's not really that hard)

For advanced players: You can't do it if you try (EXT), Panasonic Youth (ADV), ハンサム兄弟メードインジャパン (ADV), any song with mid-speed stream-picking (such as 明鏡止水 or カゴノトリ) on super random (ADV), TPP2, concertino, 鬼姫, 子供の落書き帳, Herring Roe (all ADV),

I also suggest turning on Random mode to speed up the learning process

your token whoring is very fucking obvious.

posting about DM in a GF topic? twice?

#1 reason not to respond to a post that's about to be deleted, right there. especially when the previous post is your own.

(you can't see it because they're lined up, but it's basically switching back and forth from the left two, and then the right two. One side, other side, one side, other side, etc.)

blah! both of my finers can't move that fast. I've tried leaving my middle finger down, and just changing the outside two, which works, but it doesnt' really feel natural. Everyone struggles with different odd (and sometimes simple to others) things. That one is mine.

I used to have trouble with those kind of notes. But I got better and hit things like that nearly perfect. Best thing I can tell you is to play Random or Super Random on steady paced songs as it gives you a good amount of those like For the Future on V2.
