Playing with the best is the best way to get better! Good luck! At least it'll be a great experience.
I agree, I'm more doing it for the experience than anything else. As well as to play others who are better than me. To me that gives you a chance to try harder, and learn things.
It's always good to sign up for stuff, even if you don't think you're going to win. Supporting competitive gaming is just as important.
Though keep in mind that I'm pretty sure that WCG requires you to play on Expert pro face off. Those were the rules last year, unless you were outside of the US (other countries played on Hard, though the world finals were on Expert again).
You still have lots of time to get up to Expert mode though! I'm pretty sure the qualifiers don't start for a little while.
Let me know if you want some practice, I'll be doing WCG again too.
Maybe you can help me out Wedgewu, I need a some pointers. I can do hard on bass guitar, but not on the regular guitar. My big problem is I have smaller hands so it's harder for me to get that last button. When there aren't as many to hit such as bass guitar, I can usually get it. But with lots of notes in a row, I have problems with the end button and getting my pinky to hit it. Any pointers?
Now if the WCG would add what FPS and racing game they plan on having. Especially the FPS, I'm better at those. But I love competing as well as playing. SO can't complain. More game time!

This works for some folks, maybe it will work for you too.
Instead of keeping your fingers on GRYB, keep them on RYBO. Then when you need to hit G, just shift your index finger over. That's usually alot easier for people than moving the pinky, because most of us don't have much pinky strength.
I actually usually only play with 3 fingers, and I use my pinky very sparingly. I just move my hand around a lot more. That takes some getting used to, but it works pretty well for me.
Once you get used to that orange button, the jump from Hard to Expert really isn't too bad. Usually the jump from Medium to Hard is a lot worse for people.
Mine's never been keeping up with the notes, it's always been that last button. I usually get 95% or higher on my songs, but when I hit hard it drops cuz of that last note, and not being able to go back and forth with my pinky very fast.

Thats exactly what I do... I keep my fingers on RYBO... it's soooo much easier to switch my index finger. I actually started doing that playing medium because I broke my middle finger, so I was forced to use my index finger for both green and red. It's a little weird at first, but once you get that muscle memory for the songs, it becomes a lot easier in the long run.
I frag on the first date.
As we all know, money can't buy knives.

Ahh gotcha. Well in that case, definitely try out what I mentioned. It takes a little bit to get used to remembering where your fingers are normally, but moving your index finger is definitely a lot easier than moving your pinky.
If you need any more tips, let me know.
This might not apply to you yet, but here is the reference for optimal star power usage: http://pathhero.codemann8.com/
It's always good to see more ladies playing GH competitively.
Thanks Wedgewu. I'll also definitely check out those sites.

I tell people to do this, but I don't really practice what I preach. I think it's because I've gotten to the point where its not an issue. On simpler songs, that is, i'm not exactly dragonforce material
