Orange Button In GH3 (Wii)

[shadowmarioguy]

I just beat career on medium and it was the first time I  finished a career because I just didn't have the patience to beat easy (it was too easy and got boring).  Now I'm ready to tackle hard, but I can't seem to press the orange button.  I'm holding my guitar so that my right hand is strumming.  I have my thumb on green, my pointer on red, middle finger on yellow, ring finger on blue, and I'm guessing I need to keep my pinky on orange.  But my pinky can't seem to stretch that far very easily.  I feel pretty dumb and wanted to know If I'm doing anything wrong or just need to get used to the feel.

Your using your thumb for green? Your not supposed to. No thumbs at all.

Wth, thumb on green?
Put your thumb on the back of the neck... er... put your thumb on the opposite side of the green red yellow blue orange.
Then to hit orange you slide down
or reach, but that is harder than sliding for some parts
like
Hand
"Green Red Yellow Blue
Red Yellow Blue Orange"
Or like
Green Red Yellow Orange.
That kinda thing.
I guess.

What? How can your thumb even wrap around the neck?

You only use your four fingers. I move my hand down to hit the orange notes. If it's orange then green though, I just stretch my pinky to the orange.

Oh... That might explain a few things.  The weirdest part is I was actually playing really well the way I was.  :P

Yeah, no thumb. You have to stretch your pinky to hit the orange.

Guitar is an instrument of fingers, not thumbs. If you like using thumbs, you should play bass.

[shadowmarioguy]

Great, now I have to basically learn the whole game again :P  Now my pinky is having trouble staying on the blue fret.  How ironic :P
