Strumming the same note/chord really fast

[HyeJinx1984]

I play expert guitar almost exclusively in RB. It's my thing. But one thing I absolutely hate about my thing is THIS thing: When a there's a series of notes or chords that are exactly the same thing and complete up each others butt in a long line. Presumably you're supposed to strum like a mad man to get through this. However, nothing works... I've tried just strumming extremely fast, all that does is make me keep hitting the nearly invisible empty spaces between these notes and breaking my streak... and if I force myself to get slower, I miss a lot of notes... really there's no good way to do this, and all that goes through my mind is "Great, thanks a lot Harmonix" anytime this kind of thing occurs...

NOW...

In the song Back in the USSR, there is that solo that is nothing but one of these things. When I saw it come up I just kind of grit my teeth and began strumming up and down super fast. But a crazy thing happened... I got to the end of that and it said I made "98%"... I couldn't believe. I'm usually lucky to get 50% or MAYBE 75% in normal RB if something like this comes up... but here, I nearly got all of them and that was from just strumming up and down super fast.

So I'm wondering, did anyone else experience this, and also, is this something new for TB:RB? Did they make the shredding parts more lenient now where if you just strum as hard as you can during them you'll get almost a hundred percent? I really hope so, as that is something I was hoping they'd do for a while...

Turn on Super Speed / Breakneck Speed. You'll be able to pick out the timings more accurately since they scroll by a larger window in the same time period.

Failing that, you need recalibration. I find that using the drums and "mic tambourine" sections display note accuracy better than guitar strumming.

So... I imagined that I was better at it

I have the same issue. On that solo, I got 100% and was shocked since I knew that my streak didn't show that. I think I alt-stummed faster than the notes in such a way that I overstrummed (and broke my streak) but also hit all the notes I was supposed to.

[kkawachi]

you can get 100% by hitting every note but break your streak by playing in the gap between those notes

[Sgt.Pepper]

I saw it and thought "Oh boy here we go", and at the end was absolutely shocked to see 100%, and my streak was still going.

i found spam downstrumming, no matter how ew.... was the only thing that kept my streak
