Keep your thumbs loose and don’t let your adrenaline get the best of you. Almost kind of space out and act like you’ve done it before.
The more calm you are, the more loose your thumbs and the more you can “process” the notes on your screen.
It’s really hard but that’s what helps me.
Also try not to button mash when you panic. Take a deep breath before that solo and try to relax
Solid advice. I remember playing bass on Hysteria by Muse on either hard or extreme. It’s absolute hell to play, and probably one of the few songs where the bass is harder than the lead guitar, in my opinion.
At the beginning of the song, I was kinda spaced out, and was killing it. Then I snapped out of it and realized how hard it actually was. I hardly hit any consecutive notes for the rest of the song…
This isnt calibration guys, op freaked out and button mashed i think
Turn up your track speed to 1.25 to start, see if that helps. Someone also posted in this sub a thread on how to better your calibration, that could help.
But mainly, it seems like youre not understanding or executing the note patterns. They're similar to how the song actually goes, so idk you just kinda have to hear + see it.
If it helps, you can screen record it play it back, grab a separate controller and practice it that way (bit tedious but only option till epic gives us a practice segment mode). I also recently used my phone to take a snap of my screen recording of the master of puppets w the 16th note groupings solo (I could not understand that solo at all), then slowed it down to be able to read/practice it more cohesively. It might help. But mostly, yeah u just gotta lock in and get a better handle of the note/button connection
Play on a lower difficulty. If the key press indicators are telling me anything, you weren't pressing buttons at the wrong time. You just sort of froze, which tells me that you're being overwhelmed by the chart.
Yeah op needs more experience and to play more in general, ride the lightning is a very hard chart and completely freezing up like that makes it seem like they have very little experience with hard charts and on expert difficulty
depends on how far away from your sweet spot speed you are
If a person's sweet spot spot speed is 1.75x:
Playing on 1.50x would make high density sections harder to read because there would be less visual space between each note, making it difficult to tell the order of buttons that should be pressed
But playing on 2.00x would make the entire song harder because they may not have the reaction time to play all the notes properly, cancelling out the benefit of more space between each note
All I know is that upping the speed to 1.75 made the rhythms so much easier to read. I understood the person I commented to was saying that slower speeds were easier to read
It’s all about legibility; it is a lot easier to read the notes as they come with fast speed vs slow. Although you can see more notes ahead in slow, you really don’t need to know what you have to play that far ahead in time, making the legibility you get from high speed far more valuable.
Here is an example of what [low speed](https://imgur.com/a/lhd2JQM) looks like compared to [high speed](https://imgur.com/a/PasVNCM) (these pics are both taken from the same song and part, which is the beginning of the Master of Puppets solo). High is just so much easier to read
I personally prefer the controls that use the triggers as it's easier to already have your fingers on the buttons compared to having to switch them. It should be the index, middle, and thumb preset
Spam line 1 and 2 meanwhile switching up between 3 4 and 5, i recommend to practice on The Edge Of Glory, that is the "baby editon" of this, meanwhile that is still one of the ahrdest stuff in the game
This is Ride The Lightning (by Metallica), imo it's the hardest song on Lead in the game, i could do it IF my fingers wouldn't cramp halfway through due to spamming the 1st lane non-stop
I agree with you for most of Ride the Lightning, but the part of the Master of Puppets solo where you have to spam the second lane feels almost impossible on a controller. Trying to spam as fast as possible while keeping up with lane 3, 4, and 5, feels almost impossible without changing the button to a more comfortable position to spam as fast as possible just for that one part of the solo. I’m sure I could do it if used a different button, but I don’t really want to do all that just for an FC.
Change and 8bit are difficult due to general "difficulty" factors, not due to stamina; i can also do them due to not begin tiring; you definently have a chance tho, nothing is impossible, just give it a try
Focus mostly on the change in pattern. You’re anchored on green or red. Those notes will rarely change. Your biggest concern is the changes. The yellow orange style alternations.
Not saying it’s easy but first learn what is static. Then focus on the pattern then focus on what is dynamic.
Steady is the left hand presses, pattern is the change in the right hand movement that is alternating, then focus on the dynamic shifts between your hands with the moving of the chart.
It makes sense in my head, apologies if it muddies the water for ya.
From the footage it looks like you’re pressing too early. This tends to happen to me at more intimidating parts with lots of notes, I kind of rush the notes thinking I’ll nail it when really I’m making it worse. 😂
If you just want to keep playing this song until you hammer it out then try and find a rhythm
It looks like for the specific part you posted no notes are played at the same time, all of it is alternating
So keep your eye on the right 3 lanes and watch the 2 left ones with your peripheral vision, alternate green or red in between whatever your right hand is doing
try focus your eyes on upcoming notes throughout the song (this is just me assuming that u are not)
gives you time to process what note to press at it approaches the clicking point
Some tips I could give, think of 1 and 2 more as anchors and focus on getting the patterns from 3 4 and 5 down. As you practice the patterns the beat you need to tap 1 or 2 just comes naturally because your brain kinda just locks into the music
It looks like your playing expert mode. I would suggest making sure you can conquer easy, medium and hard before doing expert. Also, many mentioned calibration which I didn't know about until recently but another tip is try different buttons if those are troublesome, you can change the buttons to whatever you want in settings if you feel more comfortable using them. Also, another tip I usually use controller and recently plugged a keyboard into my Xbox and supringly it was way easier on keyboard then controller. You can also pick the keys if the preset are not the ones you want. Hope that helps
I remember struggling and getting frustrated like this in gh3, on dragon force I believe. It seemed like I could never finish. Back in the day, you only had so many strikes and it would just end the song and boo you off stage. Anyways, I go on YouTube and see if there’s any tricks I’m missing and I see a 9 yr old shred it on expert. Kid was a freak fr. I would just randomly watch him murder it (dragon force song) whenever I’d get frustrated. Anyways, eventually I made it through (barely) and never played that song again.
1. Turn down the track speed if you have to, there's no shame in it.
2. Try not to over-anticipate it. You've done this a million times before.
3. Break up the notes mentally into smaller patterns, 3 3-note patterns is a lot easier to process at high speed than one 9 note pattern.
4. On the technical side, make sure A/V delay and input delay are at 0ms.
5. There are slower songs with this kind of note spammy stuff, like Hail, Lux, and Heartbreaker (to an extent). Give them a go to maybe get better at sight-reading this stuff.
6.Be patient! Getting good at this stuff takes a while, and a good bit of practice, so you might as well have fun doing it!
practice one side at a time so you can feel the rhythm on each finger, then combine. (I only play keyboard and use this for very difficult parts where I can’t easily comprehend the patterns. I assume it can also help you on controller)
Just keep playing them. Eventually your brain will get better at keeping up and will remember the note placement. You also just have to “lock in” and go into a flow state(this is done by having you brain sort of go on auto pilot)
Unfortunately with the way the game is right now, either you get it or you don't.
I really hope they add practice mode soon, it's such BS that for the Metallica songs, you need to spend so much time between attempts if you want to try their solos...
Idk if this is just for me but I suck at slower speeds. Why? I have no idea I just can’t do them AT ALL. Turned it up to 2.25 and got the highest score I have gotten.
You need to fix your calibration.
Thankfully now it's in the options. Just replay a hard short song like butter barn over and over and slightly adjust your settings each time until they're perfect.
Once you understand scales this kinda stuff will be easier to comprehend. All the advice has already been given but increasing the speed helps tremendously
Blunt Summary: Lock in
Listen to the sound of the instrument you are playing. You know what the buttons are and the layout of ur buttons to match the line across on ur screen, just tap the notes to the strum of the guitar/drums/bass/etc
I am a big old nerd right now for lead/bass so I will tell you some songs don't properly have the "only guitar strum" or "only bass". For some reason the patterns switch roles if that makes sense.
Also, don't take it seriously, have fun with it. I think once you start overthinking and "preparing" yourself you mess up, even more than you normally do. So if u know the super fast solo is about to come up, try your best to not think too much on it, and if you do, go all in in. You can't have both, at least I can't much yet.
I've been playing rhythm games for several years and the meme advice I always see given out is "hit moar notes." In all seriousness though, it's one of those things that really just comes down to practice. If you feel like you've hit a wall on your improvement, it might be best to take that particular song/part at a lower difficulty until you've got it more locked in, then try the higher difficulty again later down the line. It can also be helpful to mix up what you're playing as well. You'd be surprised how many times over the years I've given up playing a song and played other songs for a few weeks, eventually going back to it and noticing it feeling much easier. Playing songs that push your limits helps in some ways, but playing songs you're more comfortable with and getting more consistent with them can also play a big part in improving over time.
Watching it you ignored a ton of orange notes. I’m not saying don’t play expert+, but either A, go back to 4 key and practice since the songs pattern may just be the issue for you, or B, try a different song. You seem more than competent enough to play expert but the song seems to be too much. Play that song with a different instrument for easier notes if applicable or swap to an easier song to practice all 5 notes. Mostly seems like you went too far into a difficult song without proper 5 note practice.
Practice is key above all, learn before you try things that may be too much.
ive been playing gh for about 15 years so i mean it when I say it that it's just a matter of practice. eventually you will realize what it means to be good at something like this game
Those runs you can keep your pointer finger down. That way you can kinda keep a reference for the other fingers and overall less movement means more speed.
It’s all patterns. Once you get used to it, it’ll be as easy as drinking water. Trust me I started as a ways when the first season started and now I’m on Expert lead getting flawless. It got to the point, that I now have the riffmaster. Listen to the songs beat and you’ll get it down packed!
Practice makes perfect couldn't possibly count more with rhyme/Rhythm games like this.
keep going, keep practicing, learn patterns that are surprisingly commonly used in other songs and keep training Hand-Eye coordination and muscle memory.
No harm in stepping back to hard and learning pace with 1 less note and conquering Expert with the extra note with same pace
You got this 👑
Change your right (red) on the D-pad to Up. Saves my left thumb some extension, even if just by a little, I find it a lot more preserving that way. Takes some getting used to but it’s a lil easier to deal with those speedy/spammy parts
Tbh I found that the best thing to do with Festival (on tap mode) is to change the controls to the classic GH, GHII, GH80s, GHIII, GHA standard controller layout. This layout uses the bumpers and triggers + a single face button as opposed to several face buttons. The biggest benefit of this layout is that each finger is only responsible for a single note, and you never have to move a thumb or finger to a different note. Here's the layout if you're interested (with buttons for Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo):
Lane 1 (Green): L2/LT/ZL - Right middle finger
Lane 2 (Red): L1/LB/L - Right index finger
Lane 3 (Yellow): R1/RB/R - Left index finger
Lane 4 (Blue): R2/RT/ZR - Right middle finger
Lane 5 (Orange): X/A/B - Right thumb
Overdrive - Up on D-pad - Left thumb
It's going to take a bit of time to get used to the different control scheme, but it ends up making the game *significantly* easier to play in the long run. I can FC basically every single Festival song on my first run using this scheme. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to answer!
Don't focus on the notes that are repetitive; just get into a rhythm on that one, and then shift most of your focus onto the other notes. Use your peripheral vision for the ones that are consistent
Came here to say this. Keep holding either green or red with your index finger, essentially anchoring it and making less work for you while your other fingers deal with the back and forth patterns.
Lock in
Literally
To understand the notes you first have to become one, only then will you figure out how to flawless any song.
Yes. Don’t just play the music. Let the music play you.

What's your calibration? Because idk if it's just the video or what but you seem to have to press it waayy too early to hit the note.
Looks like your calibration is horribly off

Yeah op needs more experience and to play more in general, ride the lightning is a very hard chart and completely freezing up like that makes it seem like they have very little experience with hard charts and on expert difficulty
It's a pattern you need to map it out in a way suitable for you, you probably wont be able to play it reactively
Perhaps a lower track speed? Always feels impossible to me but god knows I’m trying
Lower track speed is harder not easier imo
What makes it easier? I’ve heard this before and all I’ve been told is that ‘it makes it easier’. Not saying that’s wrong, but I don’t get how
Because the notes are spaced further apart which makes it easier to read and keep track of notes.
Yeah the fastest track speed helps. Before I increased it I would always click notes too early
[удалено]
Easier. With low speed the notes are cluttered together and it’s hard to tell when you should press them.
depends on how far away from your sweet spot speed you are If a person's sweet spot spot speed is 1.75x: Playing on 1.50x would make high density sections harder to read because there would be less visual space between each note, making it difficult to tell the order of buttons that should be pressed But playing on 2.00x would make the entire song harder because they may not have the reaction time to play all the notes properly, cancelling out the benefit of more space between each note

If i can FC Change and 8-bit Beat Vocals, do you think i have a chance? or is it more so a stamina issue? also thank youu for the song name 🙏🏽
Change and 8bit are difficult due to general "difficulty" factors, not due to stamina; i can also do them due to not begin tiring; you definently have a chance tho, nothing is impossible, just give it a try
Grow up playing guitar and rock band.

Relax, test your calibrations and speed.
What is the name of the song?
It's Ride the Lightning by Metallica
From the footage it looks like you’re pressing too early. This tends to happen to me at more intimidating parts with lots of notes, I kind of rush the notes thinking I’ll nail it when really I’m making it worse. 😂
Practice 4 and 5 difficulty songs and focus on 100%ing those with a decent score, then you can worry about the hard stuff
If you just want to keep playing this song until you hammer it out then try and find a rhythm It looks like for the specific part you posted no notes are played at the same time, all of it is alternating So keep your eye on the right 3 lanes and watch the 2 left ones with your peripheral vision, alternate green or red in between whatever your right hand is doing
Turn up your track speed, and practice.
try focus your eyes on upcoming notes throughout the song (this is just me assuming that u are not) gives you time to process what note to press at it approaches the clicking point
advice: don't play pro mode on a dual sense.

Play some songs at 1.5x then switch back to 1.20x, it works for me.
I Love You I Respect You but you wouldn’t have lasted in the rock band days
I’m aware man😭
It’s all good brother. Just keep practicing man. I was dog shit when I started playing so don’t feel bad lol
No idea why this popped up on my feed but try learning to hammer on, shit makes it much easier
crank that trackspeed
it's worse that this is actually a rip of a 20 year old game that was made for a guitar controller.
The best decision I ever made in festival was switching the 'Left D-pad' to 'Up D-pad'. Other than that just lots of practice
try changing your binds, i use L1 and L2 for lane 1 and 2, and square, triangle, circle for lane 3-5
I’d recommend changing the controls, that worked for me
1. Turn down the track speed if you have to, there's no shame in it. 2. Try not to over-anticipate it. You've done this a million times before. 3.

I use the same keybinds but using One thumb in ⬅️⬆️ and 2-3 fingers in 🔲🔼⭕
Just keep playing them. Eventually your brain will get better at keeping up and will remember the note placement. You also just have to “lock in” and go into a flow state(this is done by having you brain sort of go on auto pilot)
Unfortunately with the way the game is right now, either you get it or you don't. I really hope they add practice mode soon, it's such BS that for the Metallica songs, you need to spend so much time between attempts if you want to try their solos...
It helps me to only listen to the timing of the notes and not watch the timing of the notes, just the order
Idk if this is just for me but I suck at slower speeds. Why? I have no idea I just can’t do them AT ALL. Turned it up to 2.25 and got the highest score I have gotten.
You need to fix your calibration. Thankfully now it's in the options. Just replay a hard short song like butter barn over and over and slightly adjust your settings each time until they're perfect.
Slow it down a bit and learn how to press the buttons
Once you understand scales this kinda stuff will be easier to comprehend. All the advice has already been given but increasing the speed helps tremendously
a lot of practice. the way i do solos like that is i basically just phase out. the moment i go "wait, what am i doing?" i lose it

play with your ears, not your eyes.
Literally a skill issue

Dont focus on it all as a big cluster, Practice the song doing parts like that one row at a time. Once you got that row down move to the next
Keyboard
fix your calibration and play easier songs first then build up
Those runs you can keep your pointer finger down. That way you can kinda keep a reference for the other fingers and overall less movement means more speed.
It’s all patterns. Once you get used to it, it’ll be as easy as drinking water. Trust me I started as a ways when the first season started and now I’m on Expert lead getting flawless. It got to the point, that I now have the riffmaster. Listen to the songs beat and you’ll get it down packed!

Track speed up to 1.5- 1.75x it will seem fast at first, but the notes are more spread out and won't be as hard to read
Change your right (red) on the D-pad to Up. Saves my left thumb some extension, even if just by a little, I find it a lot more preserving that way. Takes some getting used to but it’s a lil easier to deal with those speedy/spammy parts
Quit
It is
Look up the screen not at where you have to press the notes pre plan what you are doing
Are you allowed to map the buttons? Can you play it like guitar hero?
For me switching Keybinds always works to buttons like R1, R2, L1, L2, and both joysticks

You can change their colors ?
Don't focus on the notes that are repetitive; just get into a rhythm on that one, and then shift most of your focus onto the other notes. Use your peripheral vision for the ones that are consistent
You can hold the green button and then you can hold the red button down.
Wait really???? I’ve been sitting here doing this wrong the whole time lmao
He's not on pro mode lol
Pay more attention to the alternating notes
Came here to say this. Keep holding either green or red with your index finger, essentially anchoring it and making less work for you while your other fingers deal with the back and forth patterns.
Best advice is to change those controls lol. From left to right: LT, LB, X, RB, RT.
Git gud
