Early start. Should be able to get the 100% with a bit of concentration.

 

Bit of Bass! No time for MC though.

 

I saw Ugly Kid Joe live in my Home Town a handful of years ago or more. Great gig, Loaded was there too. Duffy, joined Kid Joe on stage and they Rocked out Ace of Spades together, it was a awesome cover!

Improvements all the way.

 

 

Bonus Lead:

 

 

 

Pleasing my family with some relaxed sunday evening bass.

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, havn't quite got the rhythm of the fast part.

Well I hate to use it, but I think I need to RR MC Bass, if I wanna fight for a place. I dunno how you guys have done it with such ease!

 

 

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1713041185 100% I almost forgot I had pulled this out yesterday and thank god I did, I was playing like crap today for some reason or another.

improvement on Dead Kennedys

 

Not happy..... I’m working in France so I’m missing the Game Of Thrones start of the last season and I’m also missing the theme tune in the Championship :-(

Hopefully I can be finished and back in the UK to have a few plays by the end of the week.

I'm yet to improve Nova baby, barely improved GoT rhythm.

I'm happy to accept this as a super fast 7, but 9? Please. Either way, I suppose I don't have any cards left to stay in advanced class class anymore :huh:

You goddamn masterclasser! ;)

Getting there,

 

bass start...

 

i´d say 8 - for the speed. you know there is no pick in bass for me so i gotta find the right technique, then its higher

 

 

1st try adv

 

 

ah i was caught by surprise by that out of order E3333306 series, would´ve been 99.8 i think

 

 

Not the first time playing this. Listened to this song while coming home from work one day and thought the main riff of this song sounds interesting and easy enough to learn. Couldn't find this from ignition, so I learnt it from tabs from UG. Then a day or two later Rodster said: "there you go buddy, now it's in ignition as well!"

 

Anyways..

Then I realised I had played the song with the wrong guitar. I had accidentally played Angus' part with my hellraiser instead of SG. So a quick change of a guitar, went through my plectrums to find a extra heavy fender plectrum (since Angus uses those) and went for the full Youngsperience! Unfortunatelly I let him down :(

Also had played this before.

First try

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week286/rhythm/a02.png

 

Played whole song in riff repeater at 88, 92 and 96 % speeds and went for SA. This score is from 96 % speed. Nice streak!

I was more ready than I expected. I've usually moved those power chords where root note is in D string to a string above and further up the neck, but not this time! Although, I don't exactly have the strumming pattern for those rhythmic strums in the fast part, but I guess it counts.

9?? Another off-by-two?
