SRA training

[Brett]

I've recently started trying to play songs on SRA in an attempt to get better at GF, but I am running into some problems. Song end up being practically unchanged and are too easy, or songs are just plain impossible. For those of you who are crazy SRA players, what are some good songs to work with when starting SRA?

R#1 bass
Aithon bass
月光蝶 bass
DD5 bass
Right on time
明鏡止水
南風

Fairy Tales
DD4 bass

I'd say that's "Hard / Crazy / Robot" XD

As a general guideline, pay attention to the BPMs. If there are any "faster parts", simply multiply by w/e it is, typically 2... can you switch that fast? If not, try playing at a speed you're more comfortable with before you move up

Easy (<170bpm) - 大切なもの, White Sketchbook, Yellow Panic Time
Medium (170 - 200bpm) - GLIDE, 秋風, 蛹

Intro (single switching) - Aithon Bass, <harder songs on BSC/ADV>
Intro (double switching) - <that Holstein song>, サークルコスター, Desert Rose

Fast (single) - Mirage Residence, Timepiece Bass BSC, AXIS
Fast (double) - Timepiece Bass ADV (ADV has more doubles), 赤い鈴, Idle Gossip, Immortal Bind


Best songs for practicing are the ones without hyperpick. If they do have hp, make sure you can handle it... for example, Rolling1000toon might be manageable (320bpm), whereas Funky Sonic World probably isn't XD

What they said. Licenses in the 40's-50's make good SRA practice, like Bad Music Freaks. Some of my favorites for practice/fun are things like Gently, the rain sings and Fight For Your Life.

And if you want crazy (but still possible), stuff like Get It All and Namida no Regret Bass; constant, unrelenting notes, but no insane hyperpicking. Oh, and Fairy Tales is awesome with SRA
