CHOOOOOOOOOOON! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=773994767 I am so going to be practicing my slap bass technique for this, it's frippen awesome! :)

Excellent. That latter part I always did accidentally and couldn't figure out how I had done it heheh :D Thanks @@iminashi for clearly describing what I thought was happening by magic :)

@@Gamut that's awesome, it is a shame that Celine Dion seems to be the most recognised Canadian in our land. I do my best to spread the word and educated my friends on Canadian rock music though (mostly Rush mind you) :) the coheed track is one of my favourites too, I will probably do a video of that one too. Very excellent choices this week. MC sounds terrifyingly difficult but I will give a punt at what sounds like an orgy of sweep arpeggios! Again, big thanks for burthdee wishes. I feel much love :D

I'm a bit rusty on this it's been 6 months at least since I played Sweet Mountain River... 451st play http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=773309786 Might as well round off my birthday, in spite of it being 2 hours past the date, with a video playing my most played and possibly most favourite bass tunes to play :)

John's dad is from Sussex England :) I found out that bit of trivia after we bought him a beer. I told him I had rellies in Toronto... conversation dried up when I couldn't say where exactly as I've never visited. One day I'll go to Canada and settle there in my log cabin next to the lake with a mountainous backdrop /sigh :) I do love Canada :)

Apologies for the gigantic pics but here's my claim to fame :) My best friend and I went to see Monster Truck about 2.5 years ago at a small venue in Manchester. I'd only just had my second baby boy, Bob, was knackered and had "Guy" hair (Guy being the toothy character from kids 90's comedy, "Maid Marian and her Merry Men.") John (bassist, in glasses) and Jeremy the guitarist were really nice and I politely requested them to have our pictures taken with them :) I then promptly got home and started running every day to shed the baby weight :D Good times! Really great band to watch live in a little venue too :)... not competition related apart from the subject matter but I'm taking liberties cos it's me birthday :D xxhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Moodswing/1743642_10151953007536644_634456789_n_zpsnd8z5h7z.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Moodswing/1966782_10151953007521644_634899529_n_zps0e1642qk.jpg

Amazing... Considering the number of plays I have on that track, I have never done a video for it :D... Will have to see if I can still play it in Master Mode :D it's been a while. Cheers folks for the Birthday wishes. I'm having a lovely day :D x

@@Fraggle Baggle, don't stretch! You can microshift your hand placement so instead of contorting your pinky to extremes a little shift of the hand will relive that pain pretty quickly. I have freakishly large hands but occasionally I did have pinky trouble when playing tracks like "full steam space machine" , "danger danger! (High voltage)" and "two door cinema club's, what you know". My pinky still flicks out from time to time from over stretching but when I do practice those three tracks microshifting the fret hand is a lot more energy efficient. Give those songs a try at about 75% speed while you get used to moving your fret hand between the frets on the repetitive notes. :) hope it helps a bit.

"Great Performance" was uttered with the most unsubtle sarcastic tone of voice I've ever heard too... Voice over guy needs to stop being an A hole.

Stiff as a stick but meh... still suffering with chest infection and gammy hand here so it's not a bad attempt. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=771552185 DT was horrible to play and I sucked badly at it. Not playing it again until I turn into John Myung. I still <3 DT though. My totally exempt screenshot... just to prove I tried.http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=771552458

Adv update: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=771086047 No video as yet. I am still pretty unwell, no DT either as I'm too tired to try tonight too. Bob's Birthday went well though :) He's having another party tomorrow... flippin' kid has a better social life than I do! :)

I've been proper ill... nearly better though. River Boat Song... if you've ever wanted a cure for tendonitis opt for this it'll straight away give you RSI : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=770655459 But I love this song and a video shall be bestowed apon thee :) Soulwax : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=770655499 Another nice one to play :) AC/DC: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=770655538 I likes them all.. Not got round to playing DT but it's on the cards if my wrist is ok after the 1000 restarts I did with Riverboat song :) I doubt it'll be much of a decent entry though... watching the play through looked like you need spaghetti fingers to play it :unsure: Oh and it's my little boy's birthday today :) the big 3 ! :D

I'm ill. Just in time for my sons birthday on Tuesday too :( My son's ill too both of us with a nasty chest infection and exhausted so, no more scores at all. Haven't had the strength to play Tool for 11 minutes, it's just too much in my current state and my tendonitis has flared up again too ... told you I'd moan :) See you next week, if I am well enough tomorrow I am going out for pre birthday drinks with my bestie (albeit a week early for my birthday but hey, I don't care when my birthday is) so I don't think I will be back to playing until Monday as I'll be working Sunday... I'll have a wee dram for @@fraMTK too :) and one for @@kissa's Bachelordom .. brain kudos, Kissa. :) Taraa for now :)

Right. Not a brilliant attempt not by any stretch of the imagination but, a year ago I red X'd this after the 2nd phrase. I know I said I would not play this because of the length of the track but I fecking do love Tool and I am now hooked so I shall try take this one and love it and hug it and feed and take it for walks... I promise... but chances are, I will aggravate my wrist and I will moan... a lot... again. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=767229395

Adv bass: iddybiddy improvement after a 20 minute Riff Repeat of a couple of phrases. Reckon 100% accuracy is doable if I don't fall off my gallop from the sweat dripping off my thumb :D http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=767222023

5001

Li'l improvement on blues #4 too :) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=766741277

Braaaains! All at the low end of the neck, there's no brains in them there machine heads !! God I wish she'd bass around the 4th fret :/ http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=766732353 The other Beginner guys... so. much. leather! :wub: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=766732405 Ahhh the heady memories of freezing my arse of on Leith Walk in a tiny flat with 2 blokes playing this song to absolute death (a forgotten track I used to be able to play on guitar!) Alice in Chains :) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=766732448 and a video :) Love this Iron Maiden track :) so I will play this mostly I think cos, SCREW YOU TOOL AND YOUR 11 MINUTES OF FINGER ABUSE! I got tendonitis doncha know??! :) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=766732487

MC first attempt and possibly last attempt: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=763714523 I'm not keen on the track though I do like the singers voice. I'm a bit drunk, not leathered or nowt, just squiffy as I attended my partners Nan's funeral today so we gave her a nice send off afterwards in the pub with some G&T's. I'll be back next week in proper full force as Cricket season will be well and truly over at the club which means my shifts deplete, as does the affordability to buy things like alcohol in pubs at pub prices so a lot of staying in and practicing will commence until April next year :) (Give or take a few wedding/birthday/anniversary functions... book now! *sly advert for my club :D*.) It's been an emotional but great day seeing off a very lovely lady :) So big cheers to Big Nan :) (She was a closet LFC supporter so she would have really liked the Advanced bass song choice this week :) .) Cheers guys , see yous next week. /wobbles away.

Ach @ we need a novelty song week, agga do, the birdie song, snooker loopy, making your mind up and pink shoelaces :D

A song close to my heart YNWA: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=762278926 No shortage of Liverpudlians and Liverpool FC supporters in our family :) It's literally on my doorstep... see :D well it's blurry, but I assure you that's THE Liver Buildings back there and the Radio City tower :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Moodswing/14330011_10153714580131644_6072339112718892122_n_zps8ws32yif.jpg

@@Gamut I don't mind the dislikes I just wish people would post why. I can then filter out if it's because they just don't like the song or they just don't think I did the track justice, due to my crippled hand in this case. (They sure didn't sympathise with my gammy wrist... I bet they park in wheel chair access parking spaces) :D I want constructive criticism about my playing so I can improve... If it's some bull shit reason that's nothing to do with my playing then , to quote Billy Connolly, they can "Gettifuh!" :D @@2groggy there you go :) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=762237041 Not sure if that's one from the video but it seems I took it quite recent so I think it is :) Will try the others now :) ... is there a Bass MC song picked yet? xxx cheers @Fripples.

I hate my phone. I edited that post 4 times because my phone decided I was typing the wrong words and replaced them with new ones. ... bollockstuff at least makes a little sense and it was quicker to type this "crap phone" disclaimer than to re-edit the post a 5th time :(

ooo ... excuse the typo in the title of the video. 5 noony points if you spot it. Someone did spotted it and disliked my video (the cheek) either that or they disliked my performance/hair/lack of stage presence/cleavage/some other bollockstuff :) I will play the others later off for a run and work now :) autumn is here! Yay!

Bass Category Advintmasginner: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=759545326 I know this song very well... never played it before though (although I have an old version of the chart which I've apparently played once and I don't recall playing it so I'm guessing I tried it and quit after the first few bars if the version wasn't working very well... so I'm not counting that try :) ) Some really fun parts to play in this hence my new categorisation "Advintmasginner". I suspect a pick is generally used but I'm shit with a plectrum. Glad my fingers pads resemble the hardy corduroy of a geography teachers elbow patch.
