Hints on Quick Notes and Note Types
When playing GH5, there are three main types of disks that show up on the highway.

Basic Notes
-Basic notes are the opaque disks that show up. To play them, press the indicated note key and hit the strummer.

Lit Notes
-Lit notes are the basic notes, but they have a light on top. These notes are known as 'slurs' in other words. To play, you strum the first basic note, HOLD the strummer, and just hit the indicated color. These are normally fast. If you mess up a lign of lit notes, you have to restrum in order to go back.

Star Notes
-Star notes are the same as the first two. They show up as a 5-point start that spins. If you hit all the continuous star notes in a phrase, 1/6 full star power will be granted. You must get 3/6 full star power to initiate star power.

Slide Notes
-Slide notes are basic notes, but transparent. You can play them like basic notes, but until you can play expert, play these like basic. To use them as they are intended, hit the square on the slide strip. You don't have to strum, but hit the right square on the slide strip.
