Okay... i've watched on Youtube people fly through it.. and actually i do ALOT better than they do on the verses.. its just I can't get back the first guitar break. I can't twitch the strum bar fast enough.. and trust me, i am MOVING that thing up and down fast as can be, but i fail at that same point every time. I notice they can build up X2 and X3 multipliers on those straight 16th note patches, but i never can. Im stuck on freakin Miserlou and i cant get out! I dont think anything can save me but is there ANYONE out there who thinks this song is easy on expert and can give me a hint of advice? I'd be much obliged.

Misirlou is actually the first Tier 8 song I passed on Expert, and the only one I passed with 1 try.

Beast took about 4, Hangar 18 took like... 18 ... and Institutionalized... well, I lost count.

Free Bird 2 tries.

For me, it took me around 5 tries to beat Misirlou, 10 tries to beat Beast and the Harlot & Institutionalized, and I haven't even BEATEN Hangar 18!!!

Oh, and beating Misirlou? 2 words: Star Power. Use Star Power during the guitar break. It works!

It was a pretty easy song. But if your stuck on it just keep practicing it in practice mode.

I beat misirlou by going through the song normally, pause 8-10 notes before the break, take 3 MASSIVE swigs of red vault, then go pick style,(middle finger and thumb together w/ the pointer tucked between them) and before I know it, I'm done

I owned Miserlou, but I'm stuck on Free Bird my most hated song.

I don't own the game (it's from a friend) but he doesn't let me borrow the guitar controller, so I played the whole game on a normal PS2 controller. >.<

Misirlou is one of the almost impossible songs on the PS2 controller. I've passed them all (even Freebird on Quickplay) but I can't pass Misirlou.

I had no problem beating this on expert. Just strum up & down on the fast parts, and however you normally strum on the rest of the song, you can hit several more notes doing that.

This song was pretty easy, compared to Hangar 18. In fact, Misirlou was the EASIEST in the top tier other than Beast and the Harlot. To be honest, after playing for a month, it makes it a lot easier.

Pretty sure this thread is about Misirlou.

If you really can't pass Misirlou, then go work out your strumming arm.

I liekz Hangar 18. It's pretty easy for me. Free Bird is also pretty easy. Institutionalized is hard for two reasons:

1. It's just hard
2. I can't bear listening to that shit of a song, so of course I don't want to play it.
