new and improved Why Go strumming method

Well this is at least an improvement over what I had been doing before; this method offers a lot more hope of consistency if I spend some more time practicing it.  In fact I already feel confident once I get to the second half of the strumming; in the part where I actually changed the method (the part where previously I basically would just fret what felt like doublets while strumming fast and praying) is working surprisingly well for me.  Actually hitting the entire solo in a run is still going to be tough though.  Every time I attempt this song I always come away with a re-kindled appreciation for its difficulty.  It just never seems to get much easier.

Progress with a few runs tonight:  Got 1st place on it with a one-miss run (not -1, missed a few hammer-ons in one spot in the middle of solo B) and a mediocre path (my first two activations seem at least close to correct, getting most of both strumming sections under OD, but I'm not activating in the solo and I'm pretty sure you're supposed to).  Also obviously hit the strumming in that run.
