Special Riffs, as the name suggests, are complex riffs that are impossible to recreate with manual riffs. They can make a song sound more complex. Special riffs are usually played with more notes and chords mashed together - think of them as preset riffs already made for you. A special riff can either be a complex chord pattern, a lead melody or a solo. Frets that appear darker on the selector means that the fret has special riffs.

Uses

 * Many users create melodies ahead of time and mix the beginnings of specials with manuals to recreate them in the game.
 * Newer users often use full specials exclusively for their melodies, though this has been known to invoke the wrath of CSD.
 * Many experienced users will likely use manual riffs rather than special riffs as manuals grant the user more creative freedom in their composition.
 * Specials can be combined with some manuals/other specials to create interesting effects.
