Either the game is slow enough to reason about in real time (certainly, a sweep like 4-3-2-1-2-3-4 as seen in the video wouldn't trip up any seasoned player) or the player resorts to memorizing finger positions (2+3 [2nd button held down at the same time as 3rd], 3+4, 1+4, etc) as well as sequences (1,1,1, 2+3, 1,1,1, 2+3). Hopefully one can pause at a certain segment and redo it as much as needed (like with real instruments), instead of starting from the beginning of the song each time.
