Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

[Mortalo]

Beginner:  Nickelback - Million Milen An Hour

Nickelback was never for me, but this one has interesting guitar and is fun to play. Quite fast, with some string muting.

Intermediate: Coheed and Cambria - You Got Spirit, Kid

Too poppy? 1st Coheed song we played was really fun, even tough it was quite hard. This one is not for me. But it has some varied stuff to play.

Advanced: The Rolling Stones - Angie

Yay, Rolling Stones. Quite difficult, solo-less song. And bass is very fun while easy.

Masterclass: Symphony X - Domination

I don't know. Fast riffs, sweeps. That should be something for me, but it just doesn't tick. So I can't get into it, the way I got into Sylosis. Maybe Sylosis is better band overall? :lol: :P

[then3verend]

Well...I finally got my hard requests for MC....

[albatross213]

Also, I should note that there are some note detection issues on Domination, at least on bass. I made a post about it, so hopefully we'll be able to find a fix before the week runs out.

 

But if not, I don't think the random misses in the verses will have much of an effect on the ordering that the rest of the song will impose.

[then3verend]

I know its not for the lead but

My biggest challenge is to play this in MM this week anyway *wink* *wink*

[slooker]

Bass Path -

 

 

Angie - 94% - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=512994004

 

"You got Spirit , Kid" I couldn't even play.  It sounded so badly out of tune that I couldn't play for more than a few minutes.  I double checked that I wasn't just missing a bunch of notes.  *shrugs*  

[Motive]

Really for beginner?

Ok. Lost my skill.

 

P.s. Very good quality cdlc. tone, chart, sync 9-10.

[albatross213]

I figured it might be easier to start from scratch rather than fix whatever's gone wrong with the note detection on Domination, so here's a test version I made that's bass only at the moment. Still some other changes I want to make, but I played through it and I think only had 1 miss on the verses, and none on that crazy trill thing before the last verse (which usually knocked me down a few score multiplier checkpoints). Sadly, my fretting hand dexterity is otherwise  remarkably awful today, so I still haven't beaten the score from the playthrough video I did a few days ago (and was alluded to above).

 

If there are recognition problems on guitar I can try to whip something up for that as well.

 

@@then3verend - this should help in your quest for master mode, I hope! It also has fewer sections, though I think still enough to practice to.

[2groggy]

I got a start on Angie on bass this week

 

On You Got Spirit Kid, I have to admit that I don't have the rhythm down yet but still had a reasonable score.  I won't post it because I want to get a better feel for the song first

[Gamut]

These first runs brought to you by No Sleep Whatsoever.

[MaZtoR]

Hard song this week. (for me that is)  Already played them before so no firsts.

I have some serious work to do on that angie.  Chords are really not my strong suit.

[MaZtoR]

Since my wife is working and im bored i played some rhythm and bass to.  (spam time)

Just like Slooker said there is something wrong with the bass part of "you got spirit, kid". I think it need to be transposed down 1 string. I tried it in Eof and i did sound better, but some other things got screwed.  I PMed the Author so hopefully he will fix it.

[MonstaS4]

Finding Coheed a real battle. Not a fan of the song either, so i'll probably focus more on Angie. I'll be punching above my weight but a more satisfying result if i can make some real progress on this.

[then3verend]

Oh hey look, a totally random MM run that made it to the end and no other reason, go figure...

Hopefully nobody else does this..this was very hard

[schocking]

Oh Yeah,

 

One have a long time on RR to come

 

Easy??? hmmm ...... if you say ;-)

[joedoe]

I should be able to do better next time :)

[Nacholede]

Here we go! 

I really love Million Miles An Hour, is my favorite from No Fixed Address

[albatross213]

I think I messed up the link in my original post, so here's again a link to the fixed bass version of Domination: link. I fixed most of the things that I messed up or had been lazy about in the previous version, so it should be good.

 

Here's my score on this version:

 

http://i.imgur.com/9vGPkqD.jpg

 

Fretting hand still kind of sucks (and my pinky is kind of sore which does not help with many of the riffs in this song), but this was a pretty good run. Video will come when it's uploaded. Maybe 20 minutes from now, maybe more.

Also, here's a sick playthrough by someone else:

I've been purposefully staying away to avoid the temptation of playing so my elbow will heal. I decided to peep in and see what I'm missing.... And it's Nickelback. No temptation here. Move along.

[MaZtoR]

Last night when i played Angie i had lots of problems with note detection. Today i started with a calibration and it got me another 5% accuracy without improving at all.  And when my frustration of bad note detection disappeared learning got a lot easier.

Huge improvement.

And some improvement on this to.
