Alrigfht you know the bridge to this song on hard right. It goes BYRBYRBYRY, when practicing on slow I can do all 10 with only one strum and the rest hammers. So 10 keys with only one strum. I cannot do it all the time though. When I try this on faster or normal speed I cannot seem to do it more than 3 times. It is possible to do all 10 on normal speed with one strum right? A 10 combo hammer on?

I am not sure what I am doing wrong it feels like I am hitting the bottons and in proper time. This part is giving me such a head ache.

i have hit all 10 on full speed a few times with a 10 hammer on combo. What the hell man. Why cannot I do it every time, it feels like the timing is jacked up. I swear I am doing the same thing each time but then I am either going to slow or to fast. Either something is messed up or this game is way to stricked

they are able to get the 10 hammer on combos in the bridge right? It must be possible to do it each and every time, but it just seems unforgiving with the timming. I know it is not a matter of speed because when I do pull it off it is slower than I go sometimes.

Yes, I think you can hammer-on a 10-note segment with one strum. I can on Expert, and it doesn't look like Hard would cut the hammer-on there. Also, watch your speed and remember the segment.

Yes you can the problem is if you screw up you have to strum. Look at the top of the notes. If there is a black ring you have to strum if there is just a white top as long as you didnt screw up on the notes in that HO/PO you dont have to strum. My advice every time you do a BYR strum once that way if you do mess up you save yourself. Jordan on expert that whole solo you could do each segment with 1 strum if you didnt mess up but not many people can even do 1 section of the solo without messing up. I personally find Woman to be very overrated in difficulty. Carry Me Home was that hardest one for me to beat on hard. Also wait til Freya Psychobilly Freakout Hangar 18 and other songs on exper those are bad. I just have 2 songs left on hard to 5 star. The Trooper and Psychobilly Freakout. I get a 2.7 average multiplier on each of those and in case you didnt know a 2-2.7 average multipler is 4 stars 2.8 and on is 5 star so im that close but cant do it. ={

Use Star Power on the solo. The rest you just have to practice.

thx guys I just wanted to know it was possible. I guess I am just not hitting the timming right each time. To fast and to slow.

I beat the song on hard but I want to hit each one of those 10 note segments with out messing up. It is freaking hard. The song was pretty hard to beat as well.

I only got the game like 3 days ago

I'll put it this way. I have around 3/4 of Expert 5*. Woman is the only song on that list before the 6th tier I think. Its pretty evil. Just save star power until you're flashing red. And Freya is just repeatitive, and painful. I think I got it 5* though.

I got stuck on it too. I just practiced it again and again and again and again. I eventually did well enough to pass the song with using star power, can't say I did the solo at all well, but I passed. I hate that f*ucking song now...

Thats why its hard it hurts so bad and if you can do Freya how come you get Woman? Thats even more repetitive and its doesn't hurt to play.

if you are playing on hard, just remember hit 2 notes for every one miss note and you will maintain your rock status.

I 5 stared woman on hard, i strum on every 4th note.. if its the same part im thinking of, like if its BYRGBYRG, i strum on every blue. just keep up the practice and you'll do fine! have fun :) get back to us when you find what works best for you. I also use a real guitar pick when i play, its just more natural for me. i can strum faster, if your a guitar player give that a try maybe?

thanks guys, yeah passing the song was not to hard, but that one part with the 10 notes is hard to get every single one perfectly.

I tried the hit ever 4 note that works pretty good. But I can do 1 strum and hit all 10 notes but it does not work every time. I just don't know why i swear the games timming is messed up.

psychadelic freakout is giving me troubles now. Another one that is going to take practive. I don't find these kinds of songs enjoyable to play.

they actually mention this in the manual, SOME tv's have a slight delay between the notes and the song, there is an option in the menu to colaborate your tv f this is the case, give that a try.

I don;t think aanybody actually read your post.

I understand your frustration, you just feel like it works once and then , even though you do it the same way, it doesn;t work.

Wellif it helps i feel the same way.
tht is what is driving me away from GH2.

I finished the game on HArd and i have 5 stars reviews on the first 6 group of songs but i can;t avoid the feeling that the pulloffs sometimes do not work properly and i feel like i reached the top of my skillz.

I do not know itf it is me or the game but i am glad at least i see the same concern in other people

cool so I am not the only one who feels like it gimps you. Like even on slowest I cannot pull it off every time. I have a higher success rate but I should have 100% success rate on the slowest speed.

This is my advice, but this maybe only personal preferance, i tend to slide, slide, slide then tap the last note, and same again..
