Rock On!

What do we have? A damn great da capo week.

 

Grab your gear and compare your scores with those seniors back in week 64.

Woop, a triple win \o/

 

So, this week we apply the upper class rule? Instead of giving a rest week for beginner and advanced rhythm players, they get to compete with their class mates in intermediate and masterclass tracks. Right?

 

To clarify, beginners will play intermediate rhythm track, but their scores will be placed in beginner column at the score sheets. (And same for advanced players.)

 

@@Rodman, could you add a disclaimer about that to the main post under rhythm song selections?

Congrats @@meelo and @@diceslinger that aced their 3 categories !

Have fun for this new week :)

Yeah. right!

@@meelo has been thinking about a rule improvement:

 

The weeks there are missing arrangements - mainly to Rhy this will apply - players shall be given the next higher classes arrangement to compete - and here is the important point: against their classmates - and yes - for the win of the week.

 

So a song can really get 2 winners in a week.

 

This will supposedly have 2 really nice effects:

1) No skipped weeks no more in any class

2) Players get motivated to try harder songs from time to time competitionwise and may see how far they are from upleveling.

 

I think we can really try that for a few weeks - and please give feedback!!!!!!!!!

 

@Score Inputers: We have to make sure to put the scores in both colums!!!!!

@@meelo, @@Rodman - new scoring  OK.

Jazzy

 

 

 

Ok, my hands cannot make these chord shapes in the Rhy track.

 

Good evening.

 

Last week I couldn't participate because I was busy learning the one solo every guitarist needs to know how to play:

 

 

I'm getting there, slowly. How about  a da capo for this song from week 72?

 

Iron Maiden, this song's rhythm part was also the ADV rhythm track of week 200, where I scored 93%. First try this evening did offer no improvements:

 

Starting out....You know I'm no good.

 

I like thaebass part!

 

Naked, the lead part waas easier for me.

 

Had to RR the rhythm part and play through it several times to get a score worth posting.

 

Bass is a nice groove tho.

Thanks!  The secret is to play the song 30 times.  :wacko:  I added them up, I played Holy Roller Novocaine lead 30 times last week.  I need my head examined.

Congrats @@meelo and @@diceslinger that aced their 3 categories !

Have fun for this new week :)

 

Got many misses on this I was sure I hit, gonna try a different guitar

 

Guitar change did the trick...

Enjoying bass tonight.

 

I feel like I got a lucky run here.

Started with bass, score attack

 

This one is probably 5

 

Surprised, not so difficult but my right hand could barely keep up when the solos began

 

Ugh... Great song, didn't realize it would be so hard to play :)

 

Tried in LAS and still suck, I get confused with the fret positions

Have issues with chords recognition

 

Not so bad...

 

 

Tried songs beyond my skill. I think this one is 7. I could probably get 90-95 after RR and many attempts

 

This one is tougher

Haven't got a great deal of time these next 2 weeks. But should be able to improve on bass, before this week is over. Lead+Rhythm I have no chance on, way too difficult. Aren't there any 1/2's for beginner  :P 

Not sure if I come this week and also the next ones to join the challenge. Just bought a house and there are couple of things to do

Keep rockin! :)

The E7 is giving me troubles.

oh Amy what an Artist 

Softer pick did it for me.

felt like being thrown on to stage NOT knowing what to do ;)
