Walkthrough[]
While this is overall a fairly easy song to complete, the extended surf intro has very long strings on very fast notes, which make the song difficult to FC. The extended intro was added to the album re-recording of the song, which the WaveGroup cover is based on.
It is much like "Through the Fire and Flames" because both of their intros are the hardest parts of the songs and the rest of both songs are passable.
For the intro, there are a lot of fast trills in which the player has to strum really fast and hard for. But watch out for the middle section, where there's a slower trill that requires one to slow down on their strumming.
If the player can pass the intro, then the rest of the song is easy unless one gets distracted. Watch out for several lines of triple notes throughout the song if playing on Expert, especially in the first guitar solo, before the first verse, and in the bridges near the end of the song.
Other than the intro, the rest of this song is easy to FC.
