Guitar Hero 3 Help

I can't pass Holiday in Cambodia. I always fail at 4-9%. And yes, I alt-strum during the intro's fast part, then slow down in the slower part, where I can even get a x3 multiplier. But then, the transition to the fastest part of the intro's the main problem for me. So, can anyone help with this?

P.S. Hyperspeed won't help, as it's all fast-strumming.
 
Oh, that part is a pain in the ass. Keep trying. Strum as fast as you can during the fast bits - there's not really much else you can do. Just, uh... don't give up.

And remember - the intro is the only hard part! The rest is a breeze.
 
Easy.

Keep your SP until the transition, then ONLY use it if you're in the red. And try to remember the chart by practicing. And a tip; remember where the hammer-ons are on the fast parts.
 
Try lifting your hand up and around the guitar so that your hand is pushing straight down on the strum bar rather than being to the side. It takes more energy, but I for one find myself being able to hit the quick notes far more easily this way so long as they're in short periods of time.

Like MD said, it's only the beginning that's hard; if you can get past that you're in the clear.

Anyway, I've heard that twitching your wrist instead of moving your arm is effective for fast-strumming. Is this true, and, if yes, how do I do it.

In other news, I'm also trying to learn tapping. I can tap the Slow Ride YB trill and parts of the Cult of Personality riff on Hard, but what other songs are good tapping practice?
 
You can do as a guitarist does; rest the ball of your wrist a tad above the whammy bar and keep it there while strumming. Strike the bar with your index and your thumb together as if you're holding a pick. Or if you're willing to get a few scratches on your equipment, use a penny or something hard as a pick.
