Rock Band 1 - "Green Grass and High Tides" Expert Guitar (677,800)

Green Grass and High Tides - The Outlaws

Well, we've reached the end of RB1 folks. This is actually the highest non-FC score by nearly 2000 points. This song has only been FC'd on the original RB1 engine once, and that happened last year by Aby on a PS2 emulator:
   • RB1: GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES FIRST EVER...  
Before Abyssion got that FC, this song has remained un-FC'd on Rock Band 1. Three people have FCd this song on RB2, and the only video that exists of that now is from Ukog:
   • GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES - 100% FC EXPER...  
This song suffers from the same issue as Trogdor from GH2, where the strumming in the solo (6:55) is faster than the strum limit of the engine. It is still possible on NTSC I think, but you need to be incredible accurate. That's why the only FC's are on PAL, which allows for a higher strum limit. I could go further into detail on the technicalities of that, but this description would go on far longer than it already has. The early Guitar Hero and Rock Band Engines are basically identical in most regards, and the strum limit stayed in Rock Band up until RB3, which allowed plenty of people to FC this song with ease. Then the question is, is an RB3 FC of GGaHT legitimate? Does it count for the FSFC? The way I see it, it should count for the FSFC, but every other song should be done on the original engine. I'm a big supporter of playing songs on the original game if you're going for an FGFC, especially when it comes to Guitar Hero. For Rock Band, some songs need to be FC'd on exports (Like Rock Band Blitz, and AC/DC). No one has every FC'd the AC/DC live version of Let There Be Rock on the original engine, let alone on the AC/DC track pack standalone game. This debate has been had plenty of times over on scorehero, and I'm just rambling at this point, so I'll leave it at that. I uploaded an FC of this song on RB3 alongside this video, so if you'd like to see an FC, check that out

I've enjoyed going through RB1. This is the first time I've played through this game whilst going for good scores, and it was fun learning the intricacies of squeezing on Rock Band. I have far less experience squeezing rock band games than Guitar Hero games. The next game I'll be uploading is Guitar Hero 5. Between now and when I start uploading those, I'll upload a few filler videos. GH5 has 85 songs, so I'm not sure if I'll upload those once a day again like this game, or if I'll go 2 a day so that that game doesn't drag on for the entirety of summer. Let me know what you'd prefer: one video per day, or two videos per day. Furthermore, if you'd like 2 videos per day, would you rather they be uploaded at the same time, or spaced apart by a few hours?
