Rodman

Hahahaha.... well it was in the middle of the night and i had to be quiet - so i quietly recorded 3 vocal lines - a "normal" one, a really high one and a growling/shouting one.... as soon as i accepted i was in the shit i was freeeee so the growling one that would have never made it - made it to the show Yap and thank you - the solo there is my ankor also - it get´s even more impressive when you listen that there are 2 guitars (seperate left and right speaker) and they play very very much the same in the solo section. Not all hope is lost Rock hard and give us new covers soon!!! Rod

tallica

way better

+ lead

oh yes ... havent heard that forever - very cool tune, Fatboy forever!!!

cool song

ok... definitely a few big lessons learned.... LISTEN AT YOUR OWN RISK - BAD RECORDING! So... i only share this because it holds important educational info for me, and i spent 10 hours or so that week trying to somehow get things together there. Failed. Well, that song caught me, and after spending those hours competing on it i could play the riff, the rhyrthm, the bass quite well, everything except the solo (which does in no way matter here). So before going to sleep i just hit record, did 2 or 3 takes on lead, 2 on rhythm, 2 on bass playing along with RS and sang some bad lyriclines for fun.... and was happy. When i sat down that changed .... Recording without starting clicks makes it a pain pain pain to sync the START of each track - when things start late (bass, vocals) and you have a song that has no (like here) clear 1-beats to hold on you are out in the shit from the beginning... i think it was 2 hours until i THOUGHT i had the tracks matched up.... then i added drums and was very very unhappy how not in tempo my guitar lines and even more the bass were thats because there was NO METRONOME while recording .... playing along RS made me think i am quite well following the rhythm, and as i am playing over my amp with hearable volume all the time - live it sounded really ok - but matched with any 2nd track it´s unusable to have a synced recording. Brrrrrr. So i tried everything - low volume bass, rhythm, with any of the lead tracks - no decent result whatsoever possible. Sometimes i´m late, sometimes i am way earlier than the other track... ok - so to close the file i downmixed (no effects, no mastering or whatever) 2 lead guitar lines with vocals and drums, (and a bit brass at the end) to always remember RECORD WITH METRONOME START YOUR RECORDING WITH WHATEVER CLICK OR NOISE SO THE TRACKS CAN EASILY BE MATCHED Rod.

No doubt about that!

updated with @Daz40 OzzGuitar Excercises! Thx m8

NO! I made them in so many speeds so you don´t need the Riff-Repeater. Just put them in the dlc folder (you can use a shred subfolder if you like), they will show up and - the upside of not RR-ing is they will show you your progress by acc% Rock and tell us about your progress! Rod.

Sure thing - keep us updated - maybe you can share a video of where you are right now for motivation and from time to time track the progress showing us your fingers fly over the fretboard! Rock, Rod.

For your last part i just wanted to point out / make sure you know there is a list with all all all all all all ever ever played songs in the CS with difficulty rating. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HzgY90kLwyGqzJ-R64v8lmpeQMMhhxwGwUlenepIgms/edit?pli=1&gid=714157890#gid=714157890 nicely sortable by diff class or diff rating each class, updated every week Most important points yes - to point out - you will not progress in days or single weeks, it´s multi-months - so you gotta fond a routine that is FUN also while practicing or you will stop. So - playing the Championships plus downloading and doing an hour of Shred excercises from here: -= Rodmans Shred Course =- (i am also trying to collect other charters files there, hope i will update that weekend thx @ Daz40 ) ... is a very good start or even routine forever. Youtube might help as well as distract you (there is a flood out there), a teacher might help but does not take away the practice you gotta do every day. You need to make the way your goal. Rod.

Thank you mister! Well - when i showed her the arrangement she was let´s say the opposite of happy - she went "argh, that´s slow.... ah, and are we into metal or what - that´s a ballad, Dad.... ah... and what´s that playing - even i can play like that, and when do i even start, i don´t wanna sing to that!" (exact words) In the end i asked again.. she said: "Its not metal, but it´s no ballad at all, it´s good, it was fun" pfeew... the brilliance of that song kept me alive Well - she had some guitar lessons in primary school and now from tome to time fires up Yousician, but no - she doesnt really play guitar, never tried RS. Rod

.... yay here we go. Well - my belief is that you cannot butcher a top song to death any easily and on the other hand you cannot bring a bad one to life - in other words you will not bring a Ricky Martin song to glory whatever you do and as we have one of the greatest written songs of all time on the table - any cover will bring the vibe.... So ... i wanted to make that the smallest version possible - acoustic guitar and voice only, i stripped it to a 4 chord song - i swear, and not even the chord intervals are exact, only verse-chord, no pauses, no extras. I think i´m right. Rod.

i got too many versions.... think i played the wrong one...

slayer!

BOC yeah, ultra hard with the tech notes

Maybe ... but it´s part of the week-start process

Sorry - React App started. Scores shall be flying there - now

I gotta play Slayer, Tallicats and BOC in the same week in my classes. Happy New Century (or so) Thx @ Mikson

Yeah a good fight there and those brave men are beasts ... Surviving the solo any good is pure luck for me, it´s a tad too fast with the bends to keep control, i could have got lucky with one of my tries but wasn´t.... BUT... i just kept playing after my 25th SA attempt not caring about the score anymore for 90 more minutes because that really felt like playing guitar, pure pleasure. Yay - praise the championships.

always the same many tries

again.... it´s official - i´m a chicken
