Fraggle Baggle

:)

Heads up to organisers, my bass score's been put on the wrong track...played Dark Tranquility, not Lola on bass :P  (Dammit!  Just got that song out of my head and it's back now!)  :(

ARGGHHH!!!  Got friggin Lola stuck in my head!!! 

Lead- Did attempt in SA mode after many LAS attempts, but didn't improve on it.  Maybe tomorrow.

Rhythm

B-B-BASS!  Started to enjoy this when I zoned out the vocals :lol:

Bass + :)

Getting better :)

I do like the Sword, only ever play them when they come up in the Championship though....those spaghetti strings!  ^_^:D

Had been intending to get back into learning guitar again for AAAAGES, but I've just been too addicted to bass! :P  With my recent wrist issues I've found the lighter strings are kinder to me so I've started a new profile and started over with Dynamic Difficulty on.  If only my stupid brain could get itself round orange notes not being the high E string that would be grrreat!  ^_^

Really struggling to get used to using a pick again, but this week's beginner's lead is fairly kind  :lol:  

Late attempts due to my wrist (again!) as well as elbow and back...I feel so creaky and broken!  :unsure:  :lol:

$£*% bends!  <_<

Love this track. :)

Sad news @@Rodman, very sorry to hear that :(  

First time ive heard this song really not my thing at all https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhISzZfU0xVelhzTFU/view?usp=sharing (mc bass 100%) im not gonna bother with getting a higher score

The adv and mc bass tracks were swapped, sushicat.  You get Dimmu Borgir.

I've been bad again.

 

I've spent all my day driving and all my evening cleaning, instead of playing.  This was before I started cleaning; it's possibly the most beautiful bass I own:

:D

That IS a beautiful finish!  What is it?

Got this earlier in the week, hadn't noticed I'd gone LAS instead of SA

So I thought, oh I'll get the 100 in score attack next go...HAH!  :D  This has had me tearing my hair out, the hundo-tremors kick in and I fluff up in some stupid way every time!  :rolleyes:

......99.80% every time!  (there were many more restarts than the play count suggests!)

Got to that bit with the quick shifted double stops on the A&D strings and the string skipping - @@Rodman I see why you would find this easier than Mr Big, you guitarist you!  <_<  :P  :D

DEFINITELY easier than that Dummy Burger double stop nonsense!   :P  I don't think there's any section I would need to riff repeat on this, I just fluffed a few notes randomly.  Dimmu Borgir, on the other hand, I would need to riff repeat the section I mentioned.

Oh and this week is my Championship and bass playing "1st birthday"!  Yay!  :confetti_ball:  :confetti_ball:  :D

One whole year of die hard mode every week since 149!  I'm considering going Freebird now.  :)

For future reference (way, waaaaayyyy in the future!) had to give Jaco a go.

Irrefutable proof that if you flail your fingers around and hit enough strings fast enough, some of the notes you hit WILL be correct at the right time and even with all the wrong notes you'll still sound like Charlie Brown's teacher! :lol: :D

With that I'm done in again.

Another late entry due to wrist issues still.  Hope I can get back to try-hard mode soon!  I need some wins! :P

My wrist has been giving me bother since Sunday (could only play 2 songs before I had to give up) so been in enforced rest all week.  It's been torture knowing we had Chilis too!  :(

Managed to get a LAS attempt and a small amount of riff repeating the chorus in before a SA attempt and that's me done in!  I can already feel I made a bad choice to play today, but so close to a full year of die-harding I couldn't not post a score.

RHCP - 98.52% (linked since Imgur edit is borked today)

Today's improvements

Hundo!  Made sure not to hit screencap too early this time! :P

Well bugger.....

Guess I was too quick to snap.  It was a hundo though....see...you can just see...no?  Well I know it was, that's all that really matters.  :P :lol:

One I'll enjoy working on....(for advanced bass? :P )

Not a 5 difficulty.  A 4, maybe even a 3?

This is fun! :)

Got Empire working, it's definitely way easier than Suzie Q.  Still in the middle of a session, but just narrowly missed 100% first go on Empire.  That's not right for advanced in my book.  :huh:  

I have a problem with Queensryche, there's a title clash with Kasabian's "Empire" so it only loads the Kasabian track, with Kasabian album art, but Queensryche as the artist.  :blink:  

A tiny improvement

How is it Friday already?  :o  

Well here's something at least....

I just had a look at the leaderboard and wondered why my score hadn't changed...just realised I'd forgot to post my score from the other night. :lol:

Most of this week I've not felt like playing.  That's not like me. 

 

I find it really odd that it gave me a platinum pick, yet I red crossed!  :blink: ????

 

That's a silver pick :ph34r:

 

Pfth!!!  Yeah, I knew that!  Totally!  :ph34r:  :blush:  :lol:

What a great track to play!  I mean I like the Manics, but didn't expect to enjoy the bassline so much.

Can't say I'm anywhere near as enthused about Opeth :rolleyes: ...and it's too damn long too!  <_<  :P

Now this I LOVE!!!  I sound like absolute crap, but this is one funky bassline!  I find it really odd that it gave me a platinum pick, yet I red crossed!  :blink: ????
