  1. Did you play Drink? That song is really good. Oh yeah. I like that one!
  2. a bit of RR...some improvement. It is just so fast!
  3. The best part of C# tuning is that it is only a half step away from C standard and lots of Alestorm songs :) Played this twice and then gave into the heavy metal pirate within.
  4. This songs is....well...interesting. The bass seems more difficult than other 5s we have played.
  5. Finally made some progress! Haven't been able to improve this one since Wednesday!
  6. Spreadsheet maintainers, don't think @@ZeroPingNZ got his scores from post #105 added to the spreadsheet. They were added in a reply to my post so it wasn't obvious at quick glance what was quoted and what wasn't. I won't quote the post again lest I add to the confusion :)
  7. I'm sure that is what the beginner gang is saying about me!
  8. That rhythm score! I'm going to be chasing that down the rest of the week! Nice run!
  9. This is what I am doing as well. From what I have learned/gathered, you should try to play the guitar lazy, if you can put your fingers in a chord shape or bar it you do. For some reason this particular one fatigues my thumb holding that bar. May just be building my strength back up, I'm not sure.
  10. And while I was in SA and the bass was still in drop D....I hate to say this, but this song is growing on me. Though I feel like I nail the 7th fret to 2nd fret slides fine for the first part, but then in the middle I start getting misses. Not sure why.
  11. A little RR and I rushed into score attack...probably too soon. No RR, rushed into score attack....definitely too soon!
  12. When I saw you picked a Kids in America cover I thought it HAD to be the cover by the Bloodhound Gang given your song requests by them!
  13. Got some good proper playing in. Sitting on a piano stool instead of the floor, so that's an upgrade. Hmmm....Just realized I was playing my dad's guitar on my grandmothers piano stool. That's pretty cool. Anyway...love the picks this week @@Toni-Wan Kenobi! Kids in America...this version is good, I really like the cover by the Bloodhound Gang tho. Took a few tries to get through Boys of Summer without it leveling me down. Good base to start from I think. The strumming pattern isn't obvious at first (to me anyway), but I think I can do it now. I usually like Leo's covers, but Elastic isn't speaking to me. However, I was thinking of a quote I heard, if you have a drummer and a bass player and you can only keep one, keep the bass player. The bass part is very percussive and keeps the beat of the song to me, so I did get into that aspect of it.
  14. Felt better this morning but faded fast. Got a little better.
  15. I'm laid low with the stomach flu, but I have to keep my RS streak alive. Day 308, I played bass sitting on the floor. Not very good... Not as much moving in this one, much better. Hopefully I'll feel better soon and provide some competition.
  16. Can't seem to improve lead anymore, got a few high scores but not better accuracy. Did improve rhythm tho.
  17. This is such a cool feeling when the fingers just know where to go!
  18. Pretty psyched about the improvement this week!
  19. Wow...feeling good tonight! Wasn't going to play this again, but thought I would try for the 100%. And a 100% on bass.
