I CANT BELIEVE I DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTT. this is without a doubt one of my greatest fcs and will forever stay that way. I've been grinding this song for months, and it was not a good experience. This is one of those songs where if you're not playing it everyday, day after day, your skill and consistency will drastically diminish. Nevermind having this song be decently chokeable after the actual hard part.

BIG thanks to @KingInferno93, @stephgh1flamyphantom230, and @kirasore, without them there is no way I would have ever fced this. I tried strumming through the entirety of the solo for a long time (https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/882177270737956895/1043999227170258944/SDFDFGFSFSDFD.mp4), but I literally started getting worse the more I played it. Not only that, but I also started getting scared I'd get that dreaded GH1 note glitch. If you don't know what that is, check out this video by Stephen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b9zSbhdx24).

Thankfully, there was a work around. You see, GH1 hopos do work to **some** extent. They just have a very weird anchoring rule that makes it super difficult to combo anything using them. The man himself Matt Way actually decided to teach me the tapping method for the solo (his fc is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEPzPT6pkiY). It was extremely difficult to learn, but it made this FC possible for me, and saved me from the heartbreak of potentially having the note glitch (sorry Aby). The practice ISO's for GH1 also made this FC possible for me, there was no way in hell I was gonna FC this learning through playing along to YT videos lmao. Hitting it under nerves made it 10x harder too, and don't even mention actually getting into the tapping. I stopped using the method of starting to use the hopos when the YBYB part came up because I kept shit missing before the actual hard part. And it really made me sad when I got a reverse choke -1, missing in the last Y note before the OBOB part. So, I decided to strum everything until said part, and would fret a RYBO chord (because of GH1's weird anchoring logic). This made it way more consistent, but of course that meant that the hard part became more awkward for me. I missed in the last quad zig like 4 times in a row, and even had a choke after the last red note. But I pushed through, and was able to FC this first run past the solo.

Oh my god, the amount of adrenaline and nerves I had after I hit the orange sustain I had not felt since I fced over & over. I was absolutely petrified of overstrumming the main riff or screwing up the fretting on the chorus riff/outro. No post solo chokes thank god, I would've been so devastated, I have no idea how people still play this song after doing that.

If you're wondering what that "Kira Cam" in the corner is, me and @kirasore were doing an FC race in a VC. She started randomly getting super good at the solo and was going for FC runs, which sparked me into going for this FC again. @KingInferno93 and @annring03 proposed a $15 bounty on whoever won the race, and that also gave me a lot of motivation to get this FC.

Steph (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC55ghT68NprlDF5hrd5pm6w) practice iso, incredible GH1 player, taught Matt Way how to tap batm

Decontrol is all that's left for legacy FGFC (trippolette for the true FGFC), and I really think I can get it, this would be an insane FGFC to get. I love you all :3
