AN EMPTY SONG SELECTION LIST ;) - Feel free to fill that up, everyone!

Especially beginner songs wont be guarding the shelves for too long!

 

... on that weeks side great challenge everywhere with spot on difficulties for the classes i think, on the hard side for Beginners Rhy and Bass (which is good to get the feeling if its time to level-up) and not a single 100% walk over line for Bassplayers, all 4 really enjoyable.

 

Have fun.

YES! rush and signals my favorite rush record ( i think its near impossible too choose just one). il have to put some extra time into the championship this week.

First goes, not an easy beginner track:

I didn't try the inter, 'cos I couldn't be bothered to downtune.

 

But Adv:

And MC:

And having heard and played the MC once, I obviously know it now ;) so gave it a little improvement:

The songs I've played are in the right order.

Cool Full steam spacemachine was the song I played the first week I entered the champs... on master mode too :)... wonder how I'll fair now :)

who knew laying off a couple weeks could make such a change.  wow.  my fingers don't stretch the same, the muscles hurt more, nowhere near the level i had been to, not that i'm good, but i was getting better.  now i have to work my way back into it looks like.

kinda makes me feel old, oh wait, i'm already there.....back to practicing...

INT Rhythm is 95.3% Streak 131 423,812

Super fun song.   Thanks.

 

BEG Lead: 96% 189 longest streak.

hello there. here's a first score on rushhhhh

http://i66.tinypic.com/2r794xc.jpg

@@Vodka - are you joinin to give RR another chance ;)

The last time we played spacemachine was the time i got rid of my bad habit of playing with only downstrokes. Had the tabs printed out and spent hours playing the main riff over and over slowly in the couch while watching a few bad movies.  It made a huge improvement in my playing.  Ended up with 88.85% that i was really happy with.

 

First play in a long time now.

You never know ;) !

My Generation (Lead) - 97.37%

 

 

I was in the midst of a really good run on the rhythm track when Windows decided that an alert about an update was more important than whatever I was doing. I really wish there was Linux support for the game. Seriously, f*** Windows.

start on rhy,

even a lil slice more fun than lead for me

that´s already ok :) - the small phrases make it easy to get punched in the face.

 

Excellent song to follow @@Gamut s ad-wise and stay loose - esp. that signature riff is a lot easier played in one hand position! If you shift you gotta be quicker, and damn certain about your fingering, so use your pinky and stay in 5.

Intersting Fratelli song. 97.44%

Tired as hell, had a really stressful weekend with a friend going through medical crisis. All reasoning would suggest I should suck right now... but I'm on fire. :godmode:

 

Songs I've never heard before?! Let them come!

Absolutely love this song. So catchy! Such fun licks! Gamut approves.

Kinda repetitive for me. Not one of my favourite Rush songs.

John Entwistle, the 7th best bassist of all time is beginner? :) No joke, my bass teacher just told me on Thursday to watch him on youtube. Plays a lot of high notes and then thumbs the E, So i was ready for it but missed it heh.

 

I totally missed last week. I played the song a few times, got to about 90% and then had my bass lesson and got into what I was suppose to be practicing for it. I should have submitted my junk score. Submitting first play through so that doesnt happen again.

 

85.2% https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/824567239157058623/84A82D6853814EA27F3B0DA26BDB7DEE6447B50E/

 

The recording is old and there is no sound to start because it is just John's bass. I was amazed to see a song I thought I knew be much more than it was because I kinda wrote them off for being older music. It was an eye opener.

 

Also i can provide a list for beginner class. I just look at what I have over 90% on:) List to follow

Hate to put this hear but you wanted beginner songs it looks like. I took this in order of mastery so if a band has 10 songs, the first songs are 100% and the lowers are 93%+/- as a general rule and may be closer to the next level. Take into account that I have known these songs and have been a professional air guitarists for 35+ years:) I know the songs well so it probably is a little more natural for me, but the same can be said of any song that happens to pop up each week. Hope it helps. Took some time to put it to paper then to order it and put it here.

 

Thought I would just link the doc... don't know why i was going to post them all here heh.

Hey man, great you took the time!

 

Please enter 4 of them of your choice into Song Selection List (link eg in Mortalos and MaZtoRs signature).

And when one is chosen put in the next one.

Dont forget to fill in your diff rating for the paths you have tried.

 

Thx.

Since two of my songs seem to have been moved into Da Capo, can I pick another two?  Or are you just waiting for guitar path ratings?

ЯЯ has an easy riff but the speed is killing me. ~70 speed at now. May be 80. But without constant practice I will not get higher. Unfortunatelly today's session is over.
