Having a reserve of star power to fall back on during this song can make the difference between victory and failure. The difficult thing about using solely hammer-ons and pull-offs for the intro is that, if you miss a single note, you will need to strum again to reset the 'string.' If you're not paying attention, it's easy to miss dozens of notes by forgetting to strum after a mistake.In Guitar Hero, hammer-ons and pull-off notes have a white center (without a black border).
