For the crazy section at the end:

I play the Y-O chord, then move down to 1st position so my index is on green. Then play the Y-R-Y hammer-on, making sure to keep yellow held down after. Then the pattern for the tapping is as follows:

- Tap orange.
- Tap blue.
- Immediately descend down Y-R-G with first 3 fingers.
- Immediately return to holding yellow with ring finger, ready for the next tap.

I found the best way to ensure I hit everything correctly is to mainly watch the orange and blue notes coming down, to ensure I tap at the right time. Then you can hear I just match the descending scale in time with the music.

This pattern repeats five times. At the end of the fifth time, return to yellow as normal, but then tap blue once before starting the next pattern.

The next pattern also repeats five times, and I play it the same way as described above, except the green is omitted from the descending scale.

So when you reach the red, you need to go straight back to yellow. Hammering-on the yellow at the end was not essential for the last pattern, but it helps to do it. In the second pattern, you must do this. So if you are already doing it with the previous pattern, you won't even think about it.

So long as you always return immediately to yellow and hold it down until the next descending scale, you will catch all the yellows as pull-offs from your tapping.

At the end of the second pattern, seeing as I already have my ring finger back on yellow, I simply keep it anchored and tap both oranges. You then have plenty of time to return to the strum bar.

I'm afraid I can't really help you with the zig-zags at the end. They're quite fast and you just have to learn to do them.

  • I have to say it is harder to play on Guitar Hero than a real guitar. Well its my opinion. My eyes would rot before I could master that solo xD.

  • Same thing I did, I thought this was going to be tough but its actually really easy

  • Just 'cause you're hitting a few buttons on a plastic toy, doesn't make you a musician! A chimpanzee can do that!

  • This solo's fucking easy

  • @noobskillls Ah! You are prolly one of those poor fucks who believe their opinions matter to me.. ok...there, there... ouch! you hurt me... feel better?

  • @Trogdorwillrise maybe we dont want to be real life soldiers :O
