That cult track is a toughie. Jeez louise.

Finals ^

^ both sight reads! Pretty proud of that advanced performance, I can improve. It's fun to play too. ^ Second run.

Speaking of Kenny Wayne Shepherd, he was just interviewed by Lee from Andertons two days ago for anyone interested. I found the timing serendipitous:

This one is a lovely piece of music but a serious doozy, at least for me. ^ Too advanced for me fellas:

Love the snow! Merry Christmas folks, and great guitar pick up @Rodman

@MrBeefindeed, The Darkness are one of my favorite contemporary bands. Happy to see them included this week. Their other Christmas song "I am Santa" is another great Christmas rock track. Encourage you to check it out, there's a music video for it on YouTube.

Excellent taste my good man!

I seem to only have rhythm/bass for Wizzard I wish it could be Christmas Everyday? Is Rhythm/Lead shared this week?

This is an exciting week, merry Christmas guys!

Alright, I'll try again tomorrow morning but this is me really pushing myself and likely to be my highest score. I did four more tries and could only keep it around 86%

I want children just so I can vicariously live through them by being absolutely kickass at music at a younger age (when I wish I had been!). Congrats dude.

Not my strongest lol New Opeth score however, I think I may be able to hit 88-90 on this guy by the end of the week:

Is that why you lot have been posting videos? I think I am not yet ready! You fellas are tempting me, perhaps I should try to hit 90. But 84 was hard enough!

That's good, funnily enough I know very few songs by heart. Just some easier stuff (Ramones mostly). I'm very reliant on having tabs in front of me. I've heard other heavy rocksmith players have the same issue. Regarding covid, hopefully we all found some optimism and made some lemonade out of the gnarly lemon that was 2020 for the globe -- for me that was getting to the point where I could reasonably play Aerosmith or even this Opeth track (sort of....) while being a guitar newb. Speaking of which an Opeth update!

I also second the request here + wouldn't mind seeing some more jazz selections if folks have them. I tried some Django and got my butt kicked.

@RodmanWow seeing you push yourself on that, maybe I should take a stab at it. But I think getting above 80 -> 90 for me will be a serious lift. @MiksonI did say the song was pretty hard but I'm competing in the intermediate bracket, so for me just about any song in that next up is going to be a pretty challenging tab. Just want to say I'm glad I joined this championship and I encourage lurkers to get in on the action. I've been playing about 13 months now, started in May 2019, then quit in November 2019 and resumed due to covid in April. Covid has made me accelerate majorly and this championship forces me to play stuff I might not gravitate to which is important for improving.

This is a hard song! I'm happy with this 80! This week I'm playing on a 76 CBS-era HT Strat:

Took a stab at advanced this week!
