The real trick is recognising which notes are okay for hammer-ons and pull-offs, I think they're generated by the game once the notes reach a certain proximity so they actually work for some chords too.

For instance, if you're holding down red and blue, it will play like you're just holding down the blue button. I can't remember if that works for more than two buttons, though. It takes some getting used to, of course, but it comes in real handy on some faster songs.

You won't score many points but you'll hit enough of the notes to not fail. At expert level (the only level that's actually worth playing) the real difficulty is with fatigue, the majority of the songs are actually pretty easy.
