Happy belated birthday Diddie17!

I think i can milk another few fractions of a percent out of this one.

Not a tune i'd go out of my way to listen to but surprisingly fun to play.

I'll be giving Alice a nudge too this week. I can remember playing air guitar to this back in the day when i was a youngster!

I hope everyone had a relaxing Christmas!

Seeing the bushfires we've had here over the past few weeks makes you realise how quickly life can change. 12 houses were burnt down about a week ago 20kms from my house, then on Christmas Day a massive fire about 200kms away which had already been burning for 5 days flared up due to high winds and demolished 100+ houses. Damn you mother nature  :angry:

Really struggling with the speed of the intro and the final riff I just can't get....it sounds terrible.

No chance of a white christmas here. It's been >30degC here all week and today hit 41degC.

This weeks effort:

Target hit!  :D

It appears Dropbox is being a biatch, so here is another link if the image doesn't show below:

Getting closer to my target:

I've had this in my collection for a few months but never really spent any time trying to learn it *properly*.

Firstly, my untrained ears tell me the second note (B string 7th fret) should start on the 6th fret, then bend up to the 7th. Anyone else notice this??

Target of 98%+ on this one. Here is a start on it:

I'm not quick enough to nail that solo. Great tune though!

No chance of catching @@Mortalo on this one.

Good exercise in speed and stamina. Pity I'm shite at both of them  :)

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/t0gnddo29ftgoxy/221680_2015-11-22_00001.png?dl=0

A little better, but not enough to alter the placings. I tried 5 or so times after this but keep getting random misses. Could be operator error though.....

And happy birthday @@franfit! Remember, growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional. Rock on!

Good chord practice. Still can't hit that damn C cleanly and consistently though.

Starting to sound OK. That's it for me though this week, not enough time to catch Rman.

This is a start I guess.....

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/fx92eo3m7og3uyj/221680_2015-11-10_00002.png?dl=0

....and The Offspring

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bnv7h8380zmcfnp/221680_2015-11-10_00003.png?dl=0

Wow!  :blink: La Sera is gonna take a LOT of work. Plenty of chords and octives that i've never practiced.

On the other hand, great to see The Offspring song i picked but missed playing in the comp because I was on holidays as the Da Capo challenge.

And finally, it sucks being 10+ hours ahead of most of you guys and gals. With the cut-off time for the week in the middle of the night for me, i've got no chance to fight back when all the 'late mail' comes in. I guess i'll just have to suck it up and try a little harder during the week.  :D

I'm lacking time to push this one any further. Bring on next week!

And great playing @@Gamut & @@firekorn. Gives intermediate hacks like me something to aspire to.

Small +

Not a bad tune.

So far.....

Much better! No more pesky crosses.

Back at work this week after a month off sucks! I haven't had much opportunity to play this week but this is my best so far.

Note recognition seems to be my biggest foe with this one. There seems to be a definite sweet spot when tuning.

Anyone else using dropbox to host images? When using the "share link" function in here it now just comes up with a broken link. Was working fine until yesterday??

Happy Birthday @@Mortalo!

Hope you have an awesome day  :beer:

Lovin' the "Nacho chart" of SOAD - plays much nicer than the original.

I got low 80's% on the first few run through's then after a little RR, come up with this:

This is all I've got with only one day of practice. Those chords at the start seem to trip me up.

Happy birthday @! Only a couple of days between us.....I too am the grand age of 41.

Enjoy your day  :beer:
