I have a couple of questions about people's techniques on YYZ because I suck pretty bad at this song.

First off, I was wondering if on the BBYBYRR (i think that's what it is) and the BBYBYRG and one fret shifts of those, if people strum all those notes or they use HO/PO.

And the other question is, if there any specific technique for getting the OBYBOBO part? I can get the OBYBO 99% of the time, but I've NEVER hit it with the extra BO.

thanks in advance.

I strum all of BBYBYRR, but I strum BBYB of BBYBYRG and then just HO the rest. I find that most consistant.

As for OBYBO, hit OBYBO like you normally do, but when OBYBOBO comes, hit OBYBO normally then slide your index finger over to B and hit O with your middle. Helps tons, I had the same problem.

I strum the whole BBYBYRR run but I use HOPO's for the OBYBO and OBYBOBO. I use 1, 2 and 3 as far as fingering. I guess getting used to using those three to do that is a good thing to learn. Freebird's solo requires it ALL the time.

I'm struggling to get YYZ down consistently -- I keep getting scores around 200k, but keep flubbing about 20 notes a song in random places, even though I know I can hit everything.

For the (BBYBYRR), I've tried both alt-strumming and downstrumming, but I continually flub 1 out of every 3 or 4 times, which constantly kills my streaks. I might look into hammering soon.

For the OBYBOBO, I used to try strumming it, but now I just strum the first note and hammer the rest, using my 2/3/4 fingers. I'd say I hit this cleanly 9 out of 10 times, so I'll probably stick with it.

If you're messing up on the BBYBYRR part, your problem isn't the strumming, it's the fretting, which you would still have to fix in order to use HOPOs. Alt strumming gives consistant results, helps you hear the rhythm better, and if you mess up on a note it won't ruin the whole riff for you.

Follow the advice I gave in my previous post, and play YYZ in practice mode, slowed down a little so you can get the hang of how your fretting hand should be moving.

I HOPO the BBYBYRR (till the last R) and BBYBYRG part on the guitar now, which I'm pretty consistent with. It's screwing me up when I play the bass part, though, due to the extra notes. Does anyone play co-op often and do well on the bass? Do you just strum the whole line in that case?

Anybody have tips on the end of guitar solo D? (where the bass cuts out, aka the hard part).

I have tried strumming all, and also tried HO-ing. I've tried to watch video and it looks like it's just something you get good at. Do people just hammer on each not individually, or are you keeping your fingers on the GRYB, and then reaching for the orange? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Am I one of the few who doesn't shift up to yellow for the OBYBOBO hammer part? I think it just feels more natural doing it shifted to red and using the pinky, and I hit it way more often that way as well.

It feels like my fingers are lightly fluttering when I hit it, just so cool.
