Two hours in riff repeater? You are my hero. I was feeling silly playing a song 20 times. You make me look downright moderate!

I wanted to get one score attack in to see how high of score I could get. And then I had to try master mode. I was probably looking at my hands a bunch anyway with the shifting in this song. And just for fun...

I found a few videos of Sheryl Crow playing Real Gone and while I'm pretty sure she plays the rhythm part, she has a capo on the 2nd fret. It looks a much easier progression with like an Am C D Am C G fingering. Sorry this song isn't getting more love, I thought it was pretty similar to Irreversal from week 252, Tommy Gun, even Louie Louie does the chords up and down the neck the same way. Maybe the secret is to say "I am speed!" before you play it, like I do :) And play it 16 time with your kids singing it at the top of their lungs every time :) I'm also curious, I think of this as a modern southern rock song from a lyrical point of view. I take that for granted living in the US, how does it catch you ladies and gentlemen from other countries? Does it make any sense to you, or evoke anything?

Pffftt! I blew through all of the other warning signs, is it any surprise I missed that one? It's ok, my son assured me he already knew most of the bad words. :unsure: lol

I love it. I would rather play something harder than nothing at all. I have to say, playing harder stuff may have the pleasent side effect of not competing for scores differentiated by one or two missed note. That can be rough.

@@Rodman Level me up, I think I'm ready. I took two shots at this song, It was fun, but it was hard to play bass while holding my hands over my son's ears. Please give me a warning it the lyrics are R rated! I thought I was safe playing it in score attack, then I hear "daddy, there are a lot of swear words in this song!" I guess the album cover should have been my first clue.

A few tricky spots to iron out with this song. My kids love this song, they sing along even when I'm riff repeating over and over. I know I'm hitting above my class on bass, but I'm having fun playing it.

It took a few runs, but I finally broke you streak @@Sebb. But then you posted another improvement, so another few runs got this.

You did that on purpose, didn't you! Ooooh....you haven't heard the last from me! :)

Probably my best for week on lead...pretty happy with my improvement. I've run this song into the ground, my family is tired of it.

a bit better

A few improvements

The game is afoot! Those are very nice score.

I am having this same problem, and the note that it registers as missed seems to be the one I am sliding from. I do have better results when I go slow on the slide and make sure the halfstep fret is played. So on a slide from 15th fret to 17th fret I make sure to hit the 16th fret on the way. I wonder if it is charted as 2 slides or something.

Black Velvet....I've had this song for about a month, I love it. It brings me back to a time and place, I can see a particular street where I used to live whenever I hear this song. Fun fact, this song is a tribute (or paean, just learned that word today) to Elvis Presley.

Getting started on bass.. First unimpressive run on Rhythm And room for improvement on lead..

New streak...but missed a few notes still...

Closing in on @@Sebb

Finally got 100%!

Improvement on Razors Edge

@@Sebb, Challenge accepted. Chasing your scores has me playing above what I thought I could do, so we will see if I can get 100% this week.

Wow...sorry to hear. I'm glad it wasn't worse thought. Can we work up a cast with a pick embedded in it? :) I wish you a speedy recovery.

Big improvement on lead: Some on rhythm Tried Razor Edge too, did that better as well I suck at this song...in cars Better at Razors Edge lead...but still not great

I fear I am way behind the pack on lead, but I've only tried it once. Better on rhythm, tho I don't think I'll catch your perfect run @@Sebb Awesome song, enjoying this.

Some bass work over the weekend. I think I played them all once in LAS and then charged into SA. Razors edge is certainly a bit harder than Action Cat. This one seems easy, but shows my inconsistency.
