Guitar Hero 3 - "One" Expert 100% FC (662,209)

One - Metallica

Very happy with this video- I've been trying off-and-on for over a year to get this score. This is NOT 1st place, I'm still 200 points behind that, but that run hit a stupid 3rd activation squeeze that I had no interest in going for. I'd rather take the 200 point hit and gamble on making it back in the FSA squeeze rather than kill 9 out of 10 runs 3 minutes into the song, effectively giving myself one good run every 30ish minutes. Big nty.

I had a really odd FSA activation on this run- I missed the front end. Usually I would activate far too early and end up losing 200-600 points on the back end, so I was focusing really hard on waiting to hit select until the latest possible time. I did that well, I even could have waited another 2 frames or so, but I didn't wait to hold down the B note. That got hit immediately, a few frames before I activated. An ideal activation here could probably yield another 400 points over this, but at that level we're dealing with absolute frame-perfect fretting and activations and it's just incredibly unlikely to be hit. With that being said, I do think I am capable of not just tying 1st place, but beating it. Whether or not I decide to go for that in the future is yet to be determined, that might be enough to drive me crazy.

Also, apparently this is the first time I've shown off my 760 Creations custom-built guitar on YouTube! I shared a pic of my JP guitars on twitter, but only the real ones saw that (go follow me   / awisemoose  . I've had this guitar since May and oh my god it is absolutely incredible. JP put tons of work into perfecting his 3D models for this guitar and it shows.
Here are the specs for you fellow nerds:
-Mechanical frets (Kailh Choc Pro Red w/ 50g springs)
-Kailh Box Royal Navy Blue strum switches
-3D printed fret buttons
-3D printed strum switch bracket
-3D printed custom modeled strum bar (which is incredible btw)
-3D printed whammy bar assembly, start & select buttons

JP also made me a Wii Les Paul-based Arduino guitar to use on Clone Hero with similar specs above, but with slightly different strum switches and different models to fit a Wii LP. JP lately has been streaming himself working on custom guitars over on his Twitch channel, go give him a follow if you haven't already!
