[NoonyDeloony]

Also, Deloon of Noon (@@NoonyDeloony), may I use your playthrough vid on the record page? Haven't updated it for the newer version, so I should be updating it soon anyway.

Yeah! It'd be an honour, Squire @albatross /doffs cap :)

 

I have since managed to get 2 of the bends recognised :D I was sitting down though :)

Managed to squeeze another couple of percent out of it.  Hopefully I can break 80% by the end of the week.

 

Beginner Lead - 79.95%

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your name is greyed out from Advanced, and seems to be fully instated in the Master Class…? :D

[NoonyDeloony]

:( meh!

[Motive]

Hey men of beginner class, please, add some easy a songs to SSL. allowed 2 in beg and 2 in other class. Else you again will to play a song which  i rated difficult as 3 at next week  :cry:

:)

[Mortalo]

:( meh!

With all my love and support I couldn't keep you in Advanced after you kept on scoring 100% on songs rated 7. Knowing you, you'll be back in Advanced before this months ends, though.

[Mortalo]

Beginner Lead - 99.51%, 236 streak

It's fast :) Misses in solo, because I hit wrong string for few notes :( Playing sitting gives me trouble when having too big break.

That's really fun song, classic tune, though I like The Go-Go's more. Probably those cute vocals...

 

Advanced Lead - 83%, 135 streak

It's fun, some parts are learnable, solo is not. My rate 9.

When I moved from Beginner to Intermediate, there was The Trooper waiting, so it's a tradition, that I'm getting way too difficult Iron Maiden song in new class :lol:

 

MasterClass Lead - 84%, 77 streak

Nostalgia. Back in the days it was my favorite Metallica song. Solo, harmony part before second solo, second solo. Wonderful.

[missis sumner]

For the record, I'm quite happy for @@NoonyDeloony to remain in Advanced, should she so wish.

[NoonyDeloony]

S'pose I better try Metallica again ... B'bye for now advanced :'(

:)

 

Having been pretty down about my early dismal failures, I'm enjoying this one now.  It really is pushing me  :).  I'd rather get 80% on this than 98% on one that I only play twice because it's too easy.  I think I'm in a bit of a gap at the high end of beginner/low end of intermediate at the moment.

 

I think you described it best yesterday when you called it a fight.  I really am fighting with this song, but I'm enjoying the fight.

 

If the other beginners want something a bit easier next week then I can just spend my time working on the intermediate.

 

Anyway, after lots of 79% and 80% plays, I finally got a good run all the way and got -

 

Beginner lead - 85.5%  I'll keep going but I'm not sure I'll get much more.

Gave this a couple tries. Some fun grooves in these riffs. I feel like some drugs must have been involved in the lyric writing process for this song, or else he's just a really wacky dude. The bake sale of the year!

Really struggling to improve on both of these. I feel like I'm not going to break into 90 territory unless I... :sweat: unless I....!!  :persevere:

 

...practise the solos.

 

I hate practising solos. :unamused:

 

@@NoonyDeloony Nice video! Your rhythm and dynamics are getting so solid lately. I really need to get used to standing while playing, so much more lively when you're not trapped in a chair!

[Motive]

@@Gamut i too hate learn fast solo with shifting, bcs of i don`t know way how learn it. RR not big helper for me. We need some good tutorial how more easy and not very boring learn such things.

[NoonyDeloony]

Started rr on Metallica, decided to use a plec which seems to be the way to go with this style of play, it's staying in my grip so long as I don't go beyond 65% speed, I played the intro several times at 75% then my mind fell asleep and wouldn't let me improve anymore. I gave it a blast in score attack nonetheless and barfed out at 3/4's of the way through with red X's of doom... This is the type of song that I'll be hoping to play by next January but I'll try through the rest of the week to at least post a score... By next January I will also quit embarrassing myself by using terms like "barfed out" to stay down with the kids :)

[Berneer]

Thought I would try Rhythm for a change.

 

For someone who thinks he wants to play lead guitar I sure have a lot of fun playing rhythm. Even when it gets repetitive, you get into a trance-like groove, almost like when you are approaching drunkenness..... Love that feeling!

[MonstaS4]

Slowly improving on this one. Still a few fast sections i'm struggling with.

 

I don't think i've played anything but Clutch in the last few days. Really cool tunes and nothing too difficult.
