a little bit earlier start this week

What a week! I came home Sunday to my hot water heater leaking. I had to move my setup and guitars to dry out the carpet and spent the evenings all week replacing the hot water heater, tearing out the cabinets over the hot water heater (because the new one was just and inch too tall), and getting the washer and dryer back to normal. But the good news is I have hot water again, my setup is re-established, and I just downloaded the new songs today and ran through them. What a nice selection!

Missed one easy note at the end....drat

I try not to offer unsolicited advice, but this sounds dangerous. It sounds like you might have power coming back through your ground in the outlet or something. You can get a receptacle tester (something like this https://www.amazon.com/Receptacle-Tester-Klein-Tools-RT210/dp/B01AKX8L0M/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_i=B01AKX8L0M&psc=1) for about 10 dollars. Obviously get it for your outlet/power configuration, this one is for US outlets. I've done a bit of household wiring and these sort of tester devices have saved me a few times.

What a tough week. Didn't help that I got distracted building a guitar pedal.

A little better, still can't get those slides This song is just a long haul

I swear the band put it on loop and went off for a pint without the singer knowing.

Whew....had to try it one more time....saw I was tied with @ Mikson for accuracy and streak!

Tried to get some serious work in

I second the thanks for @ Mikson , and I love the enthusiasm he has injected into things!

sweet sweet progress

I kinda like this one

Trying to get an earlier start this week

I've been thinking of getting one of these DIY kits. I'd be interested in your thoughts on yours. What kit did you get?

Not much work this week, fighting a cold.

@ Mikson You missed a level up. Someone scored a 99.55% on bass

better tiny bit better Those slides.....took a bit

I gave this a few more plays And more here And I got stubborn on this one. Started at 67%. I wasn't going to let that stand on a song rated 6. Not quite to @ Anitomer , but I'll try if I get some time.

I felt like I was mismatched for the songs this week. This one wasn't too bad for me but I saw some struggled with it. Maybe my focus on arpeggios has helped? I love this album. I could happily form a Volbeat western rock cover band and play out my years with nothing else. Ah...there is the problem, I see now this is a masterclass song rated and 8. I had it in my head it was rated a 5 and felt crazy. Ah...the 80's. Can you play it once? Yes. Can you play it over and over and over for seven minutes? Not so much so.

I've been slacking off this week

Angie for advanced.....that one has been on my mind.

Oh yeah!

I get an out of memory error when I'm running the repair utility on large full album CDLCs. For example, https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/51473. I also had this happen on the Metallica And Justice For All full album CLDC. The log file says: [2021/08/21 16:42:53]: Processing: Alestorm_Curse-of-the-Crystal-Coconut-Album_v2_p.psarc [2021/08/21 16:42:54]: - Successfully created backup ...
