I actually have Raycon earbuds that I got for Christmas in 2020 and I like them

[@troyBORG]

The dude at 1:30 in that ad is what it showed up for me as the video thumbnail, which had me really confused.

[@adrianjmanuel]

confirmed. Alec also violently strums the strum bar whenever he gets upset and misses notes while trying to get an FC just like the rest of us

[@WYouTuber]

he just like me fr

same here dude except i slap my guitar around, slap the neck a bunch, or smash the frets.

[@marcushead9985]

Whenever I see these grinds I have this mental image of the guitarist at an actual concert just stopping the whole show mid-song and making the band restart over...and over...and over until they get it absolutely perfect. Two days later most of the audience are passed out from exhaustion with bleeding ears. Some are dead. The whole band are hooked up to IV fluids. But the guitarist, at least, got the song note-perfect.

[@froloffanton]

For more mean Steve Ouimette guitar licks, go listen to a band called T-Ride. Steve lays down a sick intro lick in ”Zombies From Hell”

[@jamesmcmackin8773]

@@froloffanton I've given T-Ride a listen before, definitely some bangers and they were probably just a few variables away from hitting it big commercially. That said, Steve has done extremely well for himself in a lot of unexpected, and sometimes mundane ways across his career, definitely the kind of humble archetype of a session musician who secretly gets rich in the background doing what he loves.

[@aWiseMoose]

[@gossbert_25]

In Dueling Banjos, it sounds like a motorcycle shifting everytime you missed the note or overstrums

This grind looked more painful than having your b4llsack forcibly ripped off.

I gotta give Alec mad props for this. As someone with anger issues and is bad at Guitar Hero, I would’ve broken my controller way before I could ever consider doing this

[@acai28]

i've had anger issues for as long as i can remember, but at least i can control it better now lol

[@Freakmaster480]

When I was younger my anger issues were terrible. I legitimately almost killed my brother as a 6 year old because he had done something minor to annoy me. If nothing else I'm glad the anger issues were always there so I was able to learn how to deal with them when I was younger. I would hate to see how bad it would be if they came in when I was a teenager or even later.

[@npgameplays]

Waiting for the "I'm Steve Ouimette and I approve this 100% FC" comment

this makes me appreciate Danny's FC a lot more lol

[@MKNerdMusic]

Better Call Saul opening be like 11:41

[@Biglaw]

that building it up montage got me wrecked rn

[@Genny207]

So this and the ttaf speed up run make me wonder - I get that on console your polling rate is locked at 60 hz with the framerate, so what does that plus the engine make the "actual" hit windows for each note? Like, what is the timing you actually have to hit? Is it more accurate to what the notes show, or is it like the strumming in the outro is actually varied by some specific amount as opposed to straight like it's supposed to be. I'd be pretty interested in the answer.

[@acai28]

basically on console whenever notes get extremely fast, you'll have to start playing a lot more accurate because of the poll/frame lock. 19 notes per second might be a breeze at 300fps and 0ms input lag but when it's 60fps with ~16ms input lag you'll have to play "in the future" a bit to make sure that your inputs will line up properly, if that makes any sense.

[@MegaClogger]

Congrats man. Hope you and the family are well

[@Vuallum]

Now I'm trying to rember Moose's run of this Shoutout to Futa cocks in the last 10 seconds 😂

I've never heard anything but the actual banjo version of this song. Feels weird hearing it on electric guitars.

[@advsntt]

Cyc with the donation at the end that said exactly what we're all thinking

[@ElGranCoati]

that Outro Practice Grind sounded like SM64's infinite staircase

[@Kaktanternak]

"I'm so close, so there's no point in me giving up" is weirdly inspiring

[@Opixonic]

(dolphin) what the (dolphin) (Actually not a dolphin but a sped up kookaburra noise lmao)

[@mildlymarvelous]

Wait, really??? That’s a cool random fact, thanks!

[@lostchris8949]

I can see why you use the "Sailor Mouth" SFX. Tough FC. I'm glad you finally made it!!

[@xthebigZ25x]

Referring to the Building It Up section: I’m confused, is it because there’s no grace notes or is the charting so fast that the game can’t register the strum bar being used like in GH2? Or is it both?

[@theharvardyard2356]

I think it has something to do with the 60hz polling rate. Could be wrong, maybe Alec could explain

[@jakel7213]

​@@theharvardyard2356 This is just the Trogdor problem taken to a bonkers level.

[@Invontor]

Building It Up is a nasty combo of ramping speed, random/unnatural fret switching and it's max speed reaching 19-20nps (which can become a physical limit). Plus that's all over a pretty long section. Trogdor needs a lot of precision because of the strum limit in the game but the rhythm and pattern is easy (all fret switches are down strums), the max speed is only ~17nps and its a much shorter section

[@Darkshock25]

You can tell that Rock Band did better charting than Guitar Hero ever did, disc songs or DLC songs.

[@fraryt]

Mr Farquad we accept you condolences of this not being the shrek upload

[@nobodyfornow]

my guy is going to hear that building it up section in his dreams for months

Neversoft: hears 4 strums Neversoft: so that was like 9 or 10 strums right? Eh, just copy and paste a few in a row and upload that shit I hate them

[@tristanraine]

Yeah like it's COMPLETELY over charted for absolutely no reason, and it's not the first time they've done this

[@zooms7889]

even without having a great ear for music, it's obvious that the start of the section is charted WAY faster than it actually is

[@JRockJam]

thank goodness the band wasnt epileptic during all of this

[@MncMarcos]

It really shows the precision difference between this and clone hero, considering dueling banjos it's not easy but it's not that hard to grind on clone hero.

[@reach17-CH]

My God, FCing that had to have felt like passing a kidney stone, if the kidney stone was the exact shape and size of a yellow fret button

[@LuigiFan1akaStar]

I wonder, is the custom colored notes a thing on the normal World Tour? In that case, is it on all the version of it or only the console he play it on?

[@somebonehead]

Cheats

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

I remember screwing around in Guitar Hero: Smash Hits and doing a rapid strum custom song just to screw with my brother knowing neither of us would succeed it. Who thought that having you have to move from note to note would be a good idea for Dueling Banjos?
