#Hardest song on guitar hero live full

The song involves intensive strumming and fret work and contains the 'Red Snake' (within the section of the song entitled So Far Away 3 in Practice Mode on GH3) which has been calculated at about 26.6 notes per second, with ludicrously fast hammer-ons and pull-offs from red, green, red and up to yellow, blue and orange. Shortened up it would be RGR(Y,B,O) around 6.5 times per second. This would be entirely counterproductive as if they miss a single note then they need to strum with their foot again to restart the streak. They could then strum the first note with their foot. Their other hand could go above Yellow, Blue and Orange. Piano style players could try holding green with their pinky and their pointer finger above red. This would also make the intro very slightly easier due to the ability to hammer on the first note then pull off to green. Had the first note been green, and then the second red, rather than the reverse, then the whole intro could be termed hammer-ons due to the notes approaching from left to right.

Technically, the intro is actually full of pull-offs, since in the game and real electric guitar, the ability to pull off makes the green note automatically play and is what propels players through this intro. In addition to a rubber band, they could also have another individual hold down the green button. This is not considered 'cheating' but more of a cheap trick used to progress more easily. One trick is to put a rubber band around the green note for the intro. Simply hold down the green button and ignore it, focusing on the melody played on the red, yellow, blue and orange buttons and remember to release them to 'pull off' to the green note. Either way all notes higher than green should be hit and released to green very quickly.ĭuring the real song the intro is played on the clavichord. Another way is to hold green with any right hand finger, leave it there, and quickly hit the hammer ons in the second (RYBO) hand position. Some common tapping methods include tapping blue and orange, or tapping yellow blue and orange. A common method for passing the intro to the song is Tapping, but many find it passable while sticking with one fretting and one strumming hand. The intro is all hammer-ons, but its speed results in many players failing at less than 5%. The intro is generally considered the hardest part of the song. However, it is the 5-minute music video version in Guitar Hero Live due to GHTV having music videos. Through the Fire and Flames later returned for Guitar Hero Live in GHTV mode, being teased briefly on Janufor a few hours but was officially released on Februin the Shred-A-Thon special music channel and was later added back to the music catalog on February 8, 2016. The song is also considered by some to be DragonForce's most popular song to date. In Guitar Hero Smash Hits, the song is available for full band play, with the bass replacing the rhythm guitar.īecause of its inclusion in the game, DragonForce's sales greatly increased following its announcement in the game. There are two ways to play this song on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock the lead guitarist (Herman Li's part, some of Sam Totman's part) which is harder and more popular, or rhythm guitarist (Sam Totman's part). It is widely considered to be the hardest Guitar Hero song in the series.

Through the Fire and Flames (also known as TTFAF for short) is a song written and recorded by English power metal band DragonForce, appearing as the first track (and single) on their third studio album, Inhuman Rampage (2006).
