HO/PO Tutorial Song.

[startxkdm]

Just out of curiosity. If someone hasn't already done this, would somebody be willing to take time to make a tutorial song for learning HO/PO's? That's really the only thing that's been holding me back from playing Expert mode, and a few Hard mode songs. I would chart it out myself and everything but.. I don't know where to start.

Thanks,
Slayer

GHs had a good explanation of how they work. The easiest way to explain is that if notes are

-SPACE-|
|
-SPACE-|
|<

Where "|<" is the note that you have to strum and rest of them are HO/POs. You can hold 1st fret, strum, and then press 2nd fret(while still holding 1st), then when third note coming, release 2nd one(still hold 1st note) and then press again the 2nd fret to hit the last one. Same can happen with more complex notes like this one

|
-SPACE-|
-SPACE--SPACE-|
-SPACE-|
|<

Strum 1st and hold it, hold 2nd, hold 3rd, release 3rd, release 2nd. With this way you can hit all of them.

Now about starting with Pull Off(previous examples were starting with hammer on, means going to higher fret).

|
-SPACE-|
|
-SPACE-|<

Now you can hold both 1st and 2nd fret, strum, release the 2nd fret and then based on the previous example, hold 2nd fret, release 2nd fret. Each action hits one note.

If you can't understand what exactly i mean the easiest way is to check Guitar Hero's tutorials in-game.

EDIT: More than one spaces are not working at this forum... so im using -SPACE- to seperate each note.

I've done the tutorials in GH3, but never got in the habit of using them when I could.. Now that I have been playing for a few months I can't break the habit of trying to hit each note separately. Hoping someone can come up or make a good HO/PO practice song that I can actually play to really work on them fully.

Cheers,

This is a song that has a large hopo section that isn't Christian so you know you won't be tainted by God's love for you.


The Killers - All the Pretty Faces from GH5
If you need something, lets say easier, i could make a song on a virtual keyboard lol. And custom chart that. Although i'm sure it wouldn't be as fun.

What makes it a great hopo song is that you can hold green, hammer on yellow, pull off yellow back to green, hammer on blue, pull off blue to green a few times, then it switches the pattern up where red is the pull off and blue and orange are the hammer ons.

Once you are used to working with the left hand separate from the right, you can stop the notion that you must strum.

Seems like another Christian has been scared off.

Very good ho/po song in my opinion. Could you add practice sections, please.
Thanks.
