Anyone have any tips for some of those songs where you have to strum really fast? For example, an easier expert song that I have this problem with is Queens of the stoneage - Go with the Flow. I can hit 95% of the notes, but I can't seem to figure out how to consistently hit them in a way where I won't miss one or two every set of lines. Another part is like near the end of Radiohead's Creep where it's all single fast notes...my question is to people who 100% these kind of fast strumming parts, what do you do?
I know you have to practice, I'm just curious what exactly people physically do to keep the timing down or hit every single quick note without a miss.

I'm sure you know to strum up and down right? Aside from that, just turn the music up loud and get the beat in your head and make sure you strum completely each time (it's a bit wierder to strum on RB than GH... I play both.).

Every 'fast part' has a different speed to it, most do anyway. Some go really fast, some at a slower pace. You have to learn the pace of whatever song that you're playing and you could learn like that.

Yeah, strumming up and down kind of works for certain spaced notes, I have more trouble when there's like 0 space in between them and a complete line of them to shift back and forth from. I'll try making the music louder though and make sure I'm strumming completely...might be the problem (I play GH also). Thanks
Any other tips are appreciated :)
