I'm issuing an open challenge to everyone to try to find a path to match/beat this score. I'll post the path in a few days.

HINT: This path skips one star power.

Good luck guys

I thought I was clever skipping one star power to get 700 more than 1st place, then I got to submit my score and see that I'm now 3000+ behind again. Nice job, I'll work on this one :-P

OK, here's my basic strat: sorry but I'm too lazy to draw it up in photoshop right now. Perhaps someone else can do that later...

Activation 1. Get 1 SP - activate towards the end of the next long held chord. IMPORTANT: You should activate so that you skip the next star power, but barely!

Activation 2. Get 3 SPs - activate immediately after

Activation 3. Get 3 SPs - activate on the 8th measure after (beginning of the fast section)

Activation 4. Get 2 SPs - (NO WHAMMY on the second SP) - activate immediately (be careful not to miss next SP)

Activation 5. Get 4 SPs - Activate on the 7th measure after

Activation 6 Get 2 SPs - Activate just before the fast section at the end (so that SP runs out just as song is over)

The main 'trick' to this is the first activation - it doesn't seem right to activate when your score multiplier isn't yet to 4x, but in this case it seems to be the best thing to do...

EDIT: Looking over this again I see it might be possible to add 1-2 additional notes by tweaking the location of activation 5 and moving it backwards by 2 beats.

Oh boo, you gave me the answer too early... hehe.. I was only 2000 away, I thought I was getting closer. Only had to try maybe 15 more possible sp paths to find that one heh.
