GH3- Through The Fire and Flames Intro Tapping Guide

[dragonforcemetal]

hey i do the same

[OfficeOfCoffee]

not working.

[asdfgmaster]

wow, now i can try to win this one

[swampert249]

finally someone who can tap this section the right way everyone else who taps the blues and oranges of this section uses their two fingers at once. This way is much more efficient

[mrpapamario]

jes

[paltus1]

do he hold green in?

[Translusas]

do he mind read description video?

[legendarybod]

tapping is not a cheat, is in a way a little more difficult to do , then if it was a cheat, chris, danny JLC and Ben would not have gotten all those competitions won, only noobs call it cheating because they can't do it

[Vidzalicious]

very well put :)

[Castonguay424]

yaaaa nooo i couldnt do thattt haha. i wass watching it then i saw your dogggs buttt hahaa

[zombies75]

sweet

[leofera11]

Awesome :)

man,cant wait 'til I play like that

[hahalolhehez]

can you use the same guitar from world tour with legens of rock?

[Translusas]

yes you can. the world tour guitar is compatible with all GH games before it (except 1 i think). at least i think it is

[tryde0]

At the moment i can do that on slow but i fail on full speed, and in the video, it looks like you just speeded up the full speed.

[Translusas]

are you seriously that retarded? first off, on the full speed you can CLEARLY see that i miss in a different spot than on slowest. so that already means that i DIDNT speed it up. second, my dog is in the backround of both slowest and full speed but he is in a different spot in each one so that also means i didnt speed it up. third, at the end of full speed, i put a thumbs up and my friend laughs. his laugh doesnt sound sped up. besides im only trying to help w/ tapping so it really DOESNT MATTER

[tryde0]

are you seriously that retarded? i said: looks like not: you fuc... bast... its fake

[KadiiRawr]

Haha, that's cheating...

But still, good idea :P

[Translusas]

really? since when was tapping cheating? i mean its not like the EVERYONE whos good does it or anything. (yes that was sarcasm)

now on a serious note, how is that cheating? all im doing is moving where my strumming hand is. im not having sum1 else strum for me. im not modding the controller. the first person to FC this song, iamchris4life, taps the into. so you are sayin hes cheating too?

[KadiiRawr]

Um, that was supposed to be a joke/sarcasm. Obviously it wasn't funny.

[Bballboyntn16]

GAY

[Translusas]

YOU

[XxXTheNextSlashXxX]

tyvm man for helping me i shall go try it now and see if i can do it and keep trying TYVM:D

[saxistaja1]

me either

i do the first note

then i try to do that

but im failing

HWAT THE "·$!"%$·DO I HAVE TO DO

TO DO THE INTRO!!

I CANT DO THAT

plz help me

[Translusas]

ok, use your index finger and middle finger to hold down green and red. elbow strum the first red and right after strumming it, let go of the red fret (so now only green should be held down). keep green held down with your index finger the entire intro. the next not after the R-G is yellow, so use your ring finger and press the yellow fret, then let go of it so only green is held down. the entire intro does this

R-G-Y-G-B-G-R-G-Y-G-B-G-O-G-B-­G-O-G-Y-G-B-G-R-G-O-G-Y-G-B-G-­Y-G

just repeat that

[IIxGrAiNgErxII]

I CANT DO IT !!!!

i keep tryin but i fail =(

[Mohawk4444]

i do strum the first note but it still doesnt work

[TLeFeuvre]

Good job. Thumbs up at the end... Made me laugh. :D

[Mohawk4444]

i cant do it, when i try nothing happens >:(

[Translusas]

you need to strum the first note. i use my elbow to stumr the first note (red note), then i go into the tapping

[mob210sa]

I can elbow strum, but i could never elbow strum the first part of TTFAF, it always messes me up. i stum regular and play with my left hand until the yellow note then hit the blue real quick with my stumming hand, and tapping from there.

[huntster911]

tore him up lol great comeback translusas

[Translusas]

tore who up?

[GuitarHeroIIIManiac]

unfortunatley i refert to the oldskool teqnique and yes i kno of ons hammer etc but im having dificulty playing the song as my fingers are throbbing after the intro until u explained how to do it thanks:D

[GuitarHeroIIIManiac]

do you strum with every note you hit?

[Translusas]

obviously you arent too much of a GuitarHeroIIIManiac if you dont know about hammer ons and pulloffs..... only the first note needs to be strummed, the rest are all HO/PO

[mob210sa]

HAHA i was just thinking that!

[kramerguitarboy]

do you really think you can play guitar or something????its a game u know??....this gets really boring ppl thinkin they good on a toy lol idiots....try playin it for real....im sure this will impress the chicks...nerd

[Translusas]

are you an idiot? i do play guitar too. and ive gotten a lot better at guitar since my last vad because i started taking lessons again. AND i havent played this game in over 3 months and yes. im the nerd because i like to help other people. and nerds are always football players that are the strongest in their grade right? im sure every nerd at your school benches at least 80lbs higher than the next lowest kid beneath him right? eat that douche bag

[AsianAbuser]

ive got a gud thechnique.

its called use controller and hold down left trigger.

after the intro, switch to les paul

:P

[mob210sa]

HAHAHAHAHAHA thats great.

[Krazysoccerkid88]

nice dog :) lol

[eckses]

this is pretty much how i do it but my left hand it a lot better at playing so i just hold green with right and play the rest with left, never miss a note on the intro

[bucketOhead23]

thats the harder waay

[Translusas]

its all personal preference. i dont like 3 finger tapping so i do this. and one handed is too hard to get consistantly

[kratosthun]

look at the dog behind uahsiaushaisha

[PeppeLego]

i play slow and can't do full speed

[tom237]

I have too long arms to strum with my elbow :S

[Translusas]

cant really understand the long arm part but yea i strum with my elbow

[yasoof0wnz]

wtf u strum with ur elbow??!! thats wierdly retarded

[Translusas]

only on the first note. i can strum normal then get my tapping hand over really fast, but that is too much work and you need to be quick. an elbow-strum is a lot easier. and its not that wierd. a lot of ppl elbow strum this, and intro solo b on cliffs ov dover (and some other songs)

[producelovers]

this would make k al proud yesssssssssss

MIke

[Translusas]

you think this will, then watch my crazy train solo vid. its even better

[tredayman1]

lol i can see ur dog in the back

[Translusas]

i know, i figured the dog would make or break the vid, so i was just like "put him in there!" jk, i actually didnt realize he was there till i saw the finished vid

[playstionrules03]

how are you strumming? are you atall ?

[Translusas]

care to not be a completely helpless moron and at least read other comments, or maybe the vid description? or even notice the spasm in my arm within the first few seconds....

[playstionrules03]

allright carm down, theres not need to react to a harmless question try to learn to give decent answers

[Translusas]

seriously tho, ive had to answer that question a lot already on this vid just beacuse ppl are too lazy to click on link and read like a paragraph

[instantdeath99]

I can't seem to elbow strum. Are there any slower songs that might help me with elbow strumming?

[Translusas]

i would just prctice this on slowest for a while. actually go to cliffs of dover and practice intro solo B. tap all the oranges and use the other hand to hit the rest. if that doesnt work, try going back to this but dont elbow strum the first note, just normal strum. that means you use your fretting hand to hit the first "RGYGBG" then while doing that bring the tapping hand over.

[CJ2455]

K this video is great but i still dont get it you know how theres a red note first? do you strum it then switch to tapping?? and just hold green the hole time?

[Translusas]

i hold down the red and green frets at the beggining and elbow strum it, jeeze does anyone read the vid description

[cfcTG]

Loved the thumbs up xP

So... you always hold the green note down, right? And tap the other fret buttons?

[Translusas]

exactly, and the thumbs up i thought was gonna get cut lol. it took me a few runs to actually hit it so when i finally got it i was just like *thumbs up*

[cfcTG]

Ok thanks man, I'm really getting the hang of it (:

[SmashFan300]

I learned how to get it, it's not that hard.

See, since we play GH3, we have a tendency to hold down notes after we strum. So, to help with this, get a rubber band or something to hold down green. Then with your other fingers just Tap the buttons. Do not hold them down, give them a quick "TAP!" As fast as you can hold it. Hopefully this will help you get better, message me if anyone has problems with this.

[m31330w4s]

lol i cant do it with 2 hand, i put and elastic on green and play the other 4 =P

[mob210sa]

haha that is so cheap. becuse that is what i used to do but i found it alot easier when i would just play w/o the taped green. now i finally was able to play it full speed today! just go one slowest and work your way up. for real.

[Translusas]

taped green? what? anyways, yeaits all comes from just repitition and practice

[tyrone4687]

i love yer x-tremly sexy dog its sooooo damn hot

[Translusas]

lol, you left out the part that it's sooooo damn fat

[hodder100]

holy dude calm ur lil hormones i was only joking

[Translusas]

you should know not to post stuff like that on GH vids. it makes the person who made the vid pissed because someone thinks their hard work was fake. like, even i get pissed when i see someone post "FAKE!!11!" on any of PriestMLH's vids or anyone else (when they 100% the song)

[Translusas]

try watchin my other vids you dip shit. also, if it was sped up, there wouldnt be the other instruments. AND at watch where my dog is in the backround. AND i do a thumbs up at the end of the vid. AND it wouldnt matter, this is a instructional vid. thank you very much now go fuck yourself

[hodder100]

fake...full speed was slow just sped up

[Translusas]

ALSO on full speed i mess up the end of the intro, on slowest, i mess up the VER VERY end of the intro

[Arbiter1174]

I have a question, At the begining, do u start with the red fret then hold the green and continue?

[Translusas]

at the time of the vid, i forget what i did. NOW i hold down red with my middle finger and have green held down with my first finger, then eblow strum the red and go from there

[davesterio]

im not sure what others think but i think that elbow struming is cheating.

good vid tho showing people what fingers to use on each fret that dont know how

[Translusas]

you realize elbow strumming is actually really hard to do? a lot of people cant tap the intro like this because they cant elbow strum. i myself can elbow strum or strum the first note normal and get my hand over to tap but it takes too much effort

[Translusas]

why dont people read the fucking description.*EVERYONE*READ*THI­S*FIRST*~~~i strum the first note with my elbow. this all didnt happen in one try. it took a few tries but we edited them out.

[UnderatedSkill]

Are all the other notes "shiny" so you don't have to strum the rest? thanks.

[Translusas]

the rest of the notes are hammer ons an pull offs so you dont have to strum them

[gh2halo3]

we?

[Translusas]

"we?" ??????????

i don't know wut word you were goin for there but Hammer Ons and Pull Offs are notes where you only need to strum one of the notes and the rest are all done by fretting. you can tell a HO or PO because a normal note has a small black ring on the inside, HO/POs dont

[gh2halo3]

i know that cuz im ranked the world:cj4ever=My gamertag

[Translusas]

do you have a scorehero account?

[gh2halo3]

yes

[DearlyBelovedxx3]

that part is played with keyboard in the real song

[Translusas]

yep. they just made the keyboard sound like a spanish acoustic guitar

[skatefallen4209]

thats how i do it.

[turkeysandwich11]

i dont see anyone playing the intro to ttfaf??? all i see is some kid pressing some buttons on a plastic video game controller.

[Translusas]

um...watch my other vid (yes i realize it has no sound) but this shows you how to tap the intro. apparently you were dropped as a kid.

[Translusas]

wait i get it now. this is how to tap the intro in Guitar Hero not actual guitar. i didnt realize that before and kinda flipped srry

[Blackstraberry]

hey id this song the last guitar hero song in career or is it a bonus song?

[Translusas]

its a bonus song

[Blackstraberry]

ok, tnx

[ghmaster09]

this is so much fun to do when u get the hang of it

[fallbylove]

theres a dog in the background nice job man

[Translusas]

i realize that, hes a really fat dog.

[NationalPro]

Best method for me, is using 1 finger on green holding, then your next 3 fingers on red, yellow and blue. with your left hand on orange, so your keeping the tapping as original as it can be and wat your used to. Also with this method it requires fast 3 fingers but i find it works it perfect for me in the end :D

[Translusas]

yea i can do it that way sometimes but the problem is a lot of people cant use their pinky quick enough to hit the blues

[NationalPro]

yea i found that too, to get it to move fast enough but every method just comes with practise.

[sammmaay]

thats how i passed it lol

[Zeoncooper]

WoW! i use the controller and i bearly master the begining! ( and then i fail ) dude you are awesome at this!!!

[BlackTeradrix]

Thanks man. I was trying to beat the intro on expert without tapping before this. Sheesh was it hard.

[ibruse]

'''''some day i will be like you '''''

keep on rocking dude

[Translusas]

thanks lol

[latias715]

wah, I can only manage it on the "slow" setting, using the very same tapping technique... I just need a little more practice before I can do it on full speed.

[crazier]

i want to learn how to tap it. i can only do it one handed.

[NationalPro]

its pretty much impossible doing it 1 handed on expert full speed lol. i spent a day workin on the tapping, lots of frustration but i eventually did it on slowest after a few hours. 1 week later (now) i'm just mastering full speed.. requires lots and lots of practise.

[crazier]

im way better doing it one handed. i can get like 80% of the intro one handed then i choke. ive been practicing the tapping. im kinda bored of the song though because ive already beaten it and its boring now lol.

[qwooshbag]

yea but you didnt hit it at the start someone hit it for you. see you cant do it solo

[Translusas]

are you fucking retarded, i was using a tripod, i was by myself. i edited the vid so you didnt see me get up and turn the camera off. i strum the first note with my elbow. i had to restart many times before i got it right because you have to strum with your elbow

[snapascrew]

guitar hero got so much cooler once they allowed tapping

[Translusas]

?????? they always did....it just got easier as the games moved on......

[noija2000]

Are you holding the green button down the whole time ? Even in the start

[whitehiliter]

Of course he is

[Translusas]

yea

[noija2000]

k, thank you :)

[g0ldrun3]

ah yes i remeber those buttons they are this for all the people who dont know:

rgygbgrgygbgogbgogygbgrgogygbg­ygrgygbgrgygbgogbgogygbgrgogyg­bgygrgygbgrgygbgogbgogygbgrgog­ygbgygrgygbgrgygbgogbgogygbgrg­ogygbgygrgygbgrgygbgogbgogygbg­rgogygbgygrgygbgrgygbgogbgogyg­bgrgogygbgygrgygbgrgygbgogbgog­ygbgrgogygbgygrgygbgrgygbgogbg­obyrggryboobyrgr... sorry no commas

[Translusas]

thanks for the spam of sorts. at least i know someone else memorised the intro other than me

[FireandFlames939]

Were you strumming with your elbow, or was someone else strumming it for you?

[Translusas]

read the previous comments and the description....

[FireandFlames939]

Oh.

[goldade444]

Ive been practicing and can do it on all speeds except full speed..i suck at full speed. But i click with hand and only use my other hand to press orange. It seems to work for me

[johnyy3322]

thnks ive been getting so mad at this song now it looks EASY!....Ill still suck at it though

[Znowy]

That look so easy!

[Translusas]

well it gets easy after you get the hang of it

[crvttboy]

is tapping only for xbox or can i do it on my ps2?

[Translusas]

is that a question???? tapping is a technique players use. you can do it on anything. its just utilizing the fact they are all hammerons and pulloffs

[ThunderingBiscuit]

that's a good technique!

[nelsoncanino]

dude im improving....i can do the fist part therehammers ons or whatevr on slowest..lol

[Translusas]

thats good, just keep practicing and moving up the speeds. its alright if you miss the VERY last part cuz its hard to transition from tapping to normal playing

[codemarshank]

I can't even do it on slowest!

[Translusas]

ok, watch where my arm looks like it is having a spasm in the first second. that is me strumming the red and then i take my finger off the red because every other note is green. then i hammer on to yellow with my left ring finger, then gree, then using my right hand i tap blue with my first finger. every note in the intro is a hammeron and pulloff exept for the VERY end and the first note

[ANBU1706]

so...the first note is red...u hold red fret..strum with ur elbow once then hold green...and then use the other hand ?

[slloyd1990]

lol i cant even 5 star this song on medium, so there is no point in me even trying expert atm, but i will give this tapping ago, just for shits and giggles

gj man

[Translusas]

pretty hard. usually when i play it for real, i have to restart like twice. if you miss a note then you are screwed

[redluke22]

so do you have to not miss a single note to make it work? like how hard is it to get it started if you mess up?

[2kzSlash]

when i first learned i could get through it but like every once and a while, but for me its really easy to get back on just hit like the yellow note or blue and elbow strum again.Just takes practice, but now i can do it pretty easy

[redluke22]

do you strum w/ your elbow?

[Translusas]

yea for the first note

[Jormungandr]

Nice dog.

[Translusas]

lol i didnt even realize he was in the backround...such a fat dog

[SweViktory]

thanks man ill try that :)

[jeremyirissarri]

Nice.
