Just keep practcing and you should be able to get it. I can get 506k 90% but that took me a very long time. The beginning is also much slower than it appears, I use to wonder why I was missing, then I realized I was going faster than the notes, how ironic. Unless your lefty, I think this method may be easier. I find this way to be much easier to get through the beginning. You can now play it normally if you don't mess up in the beginning and remember to hold the green down. To play the beginning, try holding down the green with your right hand, place your other hand on the four buttons (red, yellow, blue, and orange), and then strum with your right elbow.

Play onward! Your hard work will eventually pay off. Just don't get too upset if you keep failing. Now, many months later, I can pass it pretty consistently. I spent many a frustrated hour failing at about 83%. In the end, it all comes down to practice, practice, practice. If you can nail the two SP phrases after the Red Snake, you might want to save it for this section. Just watch out for the "You Rock" section right before the end. If you can get past this point, you're probably okay to beat the song. You'll nail most of the red notes and should come out about even on the rock meter. But the best thing to do when you reach the Red Snake is just hold down the red fret and strum. If you're in the red at this point, you might have trouble getting past it.

After you pass the solo, you're not exactly home free there's still the infamous "Red Snake" in So Far Away III. Then, wait till you're in the flashing red to use your SP, which will hopefully last you long enough to get to the GYO chord.

There's also a third SP phrase later on in the solo, if you can make it to that point. This one and the next star phrase are pretty easy to nail (relative to the rest of the solo), so practice hitting those two sections. Ignite your star power right at the beginning of Herman's Solo, and it should end right before the next star phrase.

If you're struggling to pass the solo, here's a star path that might help you. Some people prefer it, but you have more than enough time to strum with your right hand, tap the first red and yellow notes with your left, and start tapping with your right on the first blue.

This feat would go as far as to be covered by the New York Times and CBS News in an age where it was very atypical for gaming feats to be covered by major news outlets.- You really don't need to elbow strum the first note of the intro.

For nearly a year following the game's release, it would dodge perfection from the thousands of players tackling it, before Chris "iamchris4life" Chike finally slayed the beast, earning the first ever 100% full combo on Expert difficulty. This song generated communal efforts to perfect it. But despite the incredible success of the band and the song itself, "Through the Fire and Flames" will always be "that one really hard song from Guitar Hero." No other bonus level in gaming history, and few normal levels can even begin to compare to the legitimate, life-changing impact that this song had on people it helped explode Dragonforce into the international metal spotlight. This would be largely due to the part it played in Guitar Hero, as Guitar Hero III was the highest-grossing video game in the United States for that generation. "Through the Fire and Flames" would go on to become Dragonforce's most successful song to date and their only song to be certified platinum, with 1.1 million copies sold in the United States alone.
