Thanks! I didn't know you could do that. I did get through it this morning, so I must be getting better at it. But I was getting pretty frustrated last night.

I improved Egg a little bit last night to 85%. My son rocked the bass pretty well with an 88% for his first time playing the song! Still can't get through Mother May I without it leveling me down. I would rate it as a difficulty of 4 or 5 personally with the odd chords and the movement up and down the neck for the first third of the song.

First go at Egg on Saturday with my daughter, I guess I'm going to have to learn the frethand mutes. It was very difficult and I got discouraged. I played it again Sunday and had an easier time, but it still leveled me down. Still less discouraging though. We will see how I do tonight. Wow..this one is hard with all of the different positions moving up and down the neck. Odd chords too. Can't get through it without it leveling me down, even the second day. Broke down and riff repeated it, but still can't play it full speed. I don't usually riff repeat, but I just couldn't figure out what was going on. Still don't know. Can anyone explain the rhythm part from a music standpoint? Is it just in an odd key, or non-standard chord progression? It seems different than anything I've played.

The high water mark. Ran through it a few more times but couldn't come close again.

I ran through it a few times on my Squire, the hollow body on the Gretsch made it hard to hear the beat during the strumming section. I also got my brain out of the way and let the fingers do their thing. Got a 95% then this 97%. Very pleased! Still not going to beat ZeroPing's 99% tho, well done! Again played on the Squire, but just because I didn't switch. Scored a 94% then this 96%. Making progress!

I'm giving this a shot, I'm curious to try to track my improvement. I started out with 90% and have improved to 93% I didn't care for this song when I first heard it, but it is fun to play. My first run on Sweet Little Sister was 87%, so I've improved that a bit to 90%.
