Kung Fu Fighting tips

[LoopyChew]

Keep an even stance and observe your opponent. One should be able to assess their abilities from posture alone, but be cautious regardless. Look your opponent in the eyes and master the use of your peripheral vision in order to determine what attack will be used.

Finally, always remain calm in the face of all opposition. This is of utmost importance, as a cooler head will prevail over an opponent overcome with emotion.

It might be a little bit frightening at first, but with some expert timing you can be as fast as lightning...

Not to highjack, but didn't want to start a new thread seeing as how this one was already here.
But the drums on this song just freaking baffle me.
I know it's just natural sticking with a couple of 'gaps', but boy, do those gaps mess me up.
So far the best results I have had drumming it have been to use my right hand throughout the entire thing.

Anyone have any drumming tips for it?
It just doesn't look like it should be tough at all.

Right hand, left hand...Wax on, wax off...

I alt-strummed it, but it was the only song I've done where my wrist got tired while alt-strumming.

Agreed. It's an alt-strum fest, but the rhythm doesn't seem to be exactly steady. Not to mention it feels like a lot of the chord changes are on the up strum instead of being on the down strum.

Agreed, that throws me off quite a bit.

Speaking of Kung Fu Fighting, I just played Naive today and it was like the exact same thing, god damn those awkward chord changes and alt-strum fests.

I agree. Had to actually go down to hard to pass it, I was like man were did that come from.....

Never ceases to amaze me how many songs there are that at first you figure have got to be easy and then totally kick your rear end....

I truly dislike when songs do that.

I understand it's realistic, but I still don't like it.

This was the only song in the setlist that I had trouble with... I think it just has an off beat, even though I have no problem with the weird beats in Suddenly I See, or anything like that. It really ticked me off that this was the only song I had problems with.... :/
