crazy, 94% and still 2 strikes

See mine too! It's because there's some really short phrases that rely on some bends I have difficulty getting the game to recognize. 

Cool week, I really tried to pull off a win on Peace of Mind but I couldn't make it happen. 

Love GNR, this is a solid track and probably better than anything I can remember from Chinese Democracy. 

Really wish I had the time to compete the past few weeks, work has just been incredibly demanding! The Darkness is perhaps my favorite contemporary act, Permission to Land is aces imo. Hot Cakes, Last of our Kind, One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back just a really excellent catalog. I enjoyed Easter is Cancelled but Motorheart is probably my second least favorite album from them after Pinewood Smile.

I'll be seeing them live later on this month. They'll be playing Motorheart, I had tickets to the show for Easter is Cancelled! But it was *cancelled* due to COVID!

Steely Dan is one of the all-time greats! Really wish I could have played more this week!

I actually like X Japan too, Hide baby! He was so cool, what style. I just didn't get a chance to play around with it  Maybe tomorrow morning if the competition hasn't ended.

Been super busy and just haven't had a chance to become competitive in a while

Great choices this week, Soul Sacrifice is a great Santana track -- Maneskin is fun too. Didn't get to practice much this week, maybe tomorrow morning I can post some scores.

jesus christ - *noon* EST cutoff now?! ...now i just feel like y'all are fucking with me, or time is accelerating in this part of the world by an hour every week lol

Typically depends on who is doing the next week based on their timezone, safest thing is to turn scores in Friday night at the latest I think.

Cool songs this week, unfortunately didn't have as much time as I wanted with them. Work!

OK, I gotta know how you guys are tackling that arpeggio or whatever it is like 40% through the silverchair track. I'm trying to basically finger pick it but at full speed I cannot keep up. Any suggestions/tips? 

This silverchair lead feels pretty difficult to me, not sure if anyone else agrees.

Good songs this week.

As a heads up in the posts on these topics for the past couple of weeks the link to leaderboard has been broken. This time it's linking to Metallica CDLC for me.

tbh I like these capo weeks that are from long ago because us newbies (though I guess I'm not so new around here anymore) weren't around to play these tracks.

Famously great track! 

Merry Christmas to you all!

Love me some AC/DC

I've never heard of these guys before -- this song is killer. Riff is great. I hope this is enough to win because this 94.4 was TOUGH.

This was my favorite song to play this week

Trying to win, but just got back last night. I think I could have taken the crown if I had all this past week to really work it. Unfortunately I just have today and my fingers are getting shredded 

Thank you for the kind words @ Rodman  and thanks to the championship for forcing me to improve and picking some stellar tracks this week even though I may not have had a chance to immerse myself in them as much as I would like  (I'll probably still be playing this one next week, just too good).

Also I completely missed It Never Rains in Southern California! Great song.

Wow, great selections this week. Unfortunately I'll be out of town and won't be able to compete much
