The note chart has an error on the last note. Its not a YB chord +sustain, its a three note YBO chord + sustain. |

4-2-2-2, perhaps?
The first activation would waste a lot that could be gained from whammying, but it's the only way to have a full bar at the chord heavy "I'll send an SOS to the world" part.
The next activation would be used during the second "I hope that someone gets my..." part to last through the chord heavy part that ends at "...message in a bottle"
The next activation would be used immediately during the third verse.
The last activation would be used at measure 179 during the outro.
edit: This useage just landed me in 6th place. I'm not sure if my last activation was at the best place, though. |

My SP path for this is the 4-2-2-2 that Sully mentioned, making sure to whammy as much as possible except for the first Star power activation, and yet I only got around 294K on it. The top score is above 300K. Any thoughts? I honestly can't see a better path than the one I used. |

That's, to the note, the path I used to get 301K. Whammy and squeeze, that's about all there is to it. Even without any squeezes at all you should be able to get 299K. _________________

I got 297k with near-perfect whammying and no squeezes. Sucks to be off those 3k points, but it's my own fault for not knowing how to squeeze. |

Isn't it better to activate SP on the same spot as first SP cause I looked at Debr's path (you make great paths btw ^^) and i kinda wondered if it would be better just my oppinion. |
