I enjoy this game so much and it actually feels like I'm playing a guitar....beautiful I say.

Ha ha! Welcome to the light. :D

What I absolutely love about the game is how freaking hard it is. I remember when you would work forever just to be able to beat one level in a video game - Contra and R-Type come to mind. That feeling has come back with Guitar Hero. The game will piss you off beyond belief, but when you work at it and finally manage to hit that near impossible solo, the feeling of accomplishment is just so awesome that you can't manage not to keep playing.

I would agree with you that the intro is by far the hardest part. If you can get past that, you can beat the song after a few tries by using a good star power path. If you're interested, I can post the two hand fingering chart I made for the intro.

I am interested in seeing the chart you made. I have my own method and am able to nearly 100% the intro using it. Here's how..

I tilt the guitar straight up and down so the end of it is near my face. Using my chin, that's right, my chin, I hold the green button down through the entire section. I use my fretting hand to quickly (and I mean quickly) tap buttons red through orange, and use my strumming hand to strum down on each of the notes except the greens.

Theoretically, I could probably just strum once and play the whole thing, but I find the strumming helps me keep the rhythm with my fret hand better.

Sure I look funny, but not as funny as the guy I'm competing against (I compete in local tournaments for fun)! :D

Heh, I tried your method a few times, but it was just too awkward a position for me. Here's mine. Left index stays on green the whole time, R1 stands for right index finger, L2 stands for middle finger, etc. The different font colors stand for the fret buttons. Black is used for yellow so that it is more legible. This is for left handed people.

Repeat.

For a lot of the R2's, R1 could be substituted as that finger is just jumping back and forth, I just choose to use my middle finger because it is longer and I can connect easier with it.
