It's been a good day for Gold Stars! Simple Man now added to my list. I know this should be a fairly easy song, but I have struggled to GS this one for ages. It used to be impossible (pre-patch), or maybe just possible with perfect squeezing (a practice that I really can't be bothered to learn). But the patch obviously made it possible. However, I just couldn't get a streak. I'd drop notes. Sometimes maybe it was the drums (see my previous post about setting them up), but also because I would kind of lose the rhythm slightly in the middle for no good reason and hit a few bum notes. But this time, not only did I GS it, but it was a perfect FC as well! Happy man, simple man.

God I love that song! I'm so glad I GSed it, because this is one I love to play. I just need to get my girlfriend to pluck up the courage to try Expert vocals and we should get a band GS on this! She lacks confidence and just won't try Expert at all. She's really good (regular 99-100% scores on Hard), but she just won't accept that she's that good. Luckily she loves the song too, so fingers

And number 14. Glad to get above 13 to be honest. I'm not superstitious, but, well...

This was a tough one, mainly because I learned that my kit still isn't perfectly set up. The section with rapid crash/snare/bass patterns was dropping loads of notes. Even on this run I dropped a few, but I've almost got it set up perfectly now. It's just my "small" crash cymbal which had the crosstalk set too high. I had to turn down the crosstalk and turn up the "Noise" setting. Still needs tweaking as I say, but it's nearly perfect now. I'll try this song again in a minute after tweaking the Noise setting up a bit, and see if that gets it perfect.
