HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

[Mortalo]

First time Depeche Mode. Yay!

First jazz song and at the same time the oldest song we ever played - Seven Come Eleven. Too short though...

And beast song - Even Flow. It was much easier in Guitar Hero III...

[Nacholede]

I'm a huge fan of Depeche Mode, glad they make it to the championship :D

[Rodman]

Yay

[missis sumner]

First scores:

 

(I thought I'd got 100% on this, but must have buggered it up somewhere along the way)

I was pleasantly surprised by my score on this, because I've played it before and only got 92%:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKV3Ezd1Z0eGRHclU/view?usp=sharing

 

Maybe I did better tonight because I expected to play Weak and not Weep as I originally thought...

 

Quite like this:

Endicott is going to have to wait until tomorrow.  I'm too tired. :D

[then3verend]

EDIT: I think i dont have the most recent version

[then3verend]

Okay, much better :)

On bass, Even Flow had a guitar tone, which was ridiculous, so I changed that. I also thought the song volume was quite quiet, so I increased the volume a bunch. And I increased the scroll speed (on all paths) because I dislike slow scroll speeds. Didn't change some of the other things I would have liked to (a lot of As in the song would be easier as open As rather than playing on the low D string.

 

Didn't play with tone volumes on guitars yet, so those might be too low now.

 

Anyway, here's my score.

Never heard this before but great tune! Plenty more in this but here's a first score:

Great selection this week.  I'd better get busy - there's a lot that I want to play. :D

[missis sumner]

I had to have another go at this:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKZmxJbkdDbVlfbFU/view?usp=sharing

 

And I had to have a few more goes on the U-basses, as well.  I won't post the scores though, because I wasn't used to the short scale. :D

 

I thought there would be a lot of work to do on this this week:

Some odd patterns to it, but not too difficult to pick up:

Even Flow's Guitar is waaaaay too loud

How are you finding the note recognition on the U-bass?  I find there to be a lot of false misses on the E string, lowering scores by 2 or 3 percent on a song.  In my case, I won't attribute the misses to the short scale because I am used to a travel bass, and the misses seem to be mostly on a single string.

[albatross213]

@ - I definitely agree about the tone volumes on Even Flow - particularly the filter one. I'll definitely be playing around with those soon.

 

Oh, and I did this last night but forgot to post it.

 

Adv lead:

Still kind of a spaz for some parts, but much better than my sightread. Picking in swing feel is kind of tricky for me.

[then3verend]

Okay albatross, how are you getting those 8-10 slides on the chorus to register?
http://oi68.tinypic.com/9knm2g.jpg

I can 100% the rest of the song otherwise

No real problem, I don't think.  I hadn't even re-tuned or re-calibrated.  Of course, I will try this if I want to get a decent score with one of them. :)

[franfit]

beginner lead is super easy this week. even i might get 100%  :ph34r:

I'm laughing so hard

Dave is a true argentinian

[fripponomic]

nice one :D

[fiddlesticks]

Pigs have flown, hell has frozen over, various other unlikely events have surely taken place because I finished top on a MC Lead song for the first time ever !!! Genuinely pleased with that :) Joining the championship has been one of the best decisions I've made !

 

Anywho, started the new week today with a run through of all the bass parts

I haven't heard this song since the time it was released - was it really 20 years ago ??? I feel old.

Cool little jazz number, pity it's so short.

Yep, I picked a song with a slide to the 20th fret when I only have 19 ! If anyone's doing some tweaking maybe they'd consider making those slides unpitched ?

[fripponomic]

better streak

[diddie17]

Beginner lead is on the easy side this week, but I'm tearing my hair out at the note recognition on a couple of the slides.  I can do it every time in riff repeater, but they don't seem to get recognised on score attack.

 

For now anyway -

 

Beginner Lead - 99.03%

 

[then3verend]

@@fiddlesticks it was C std, and there were two songs that week...

And that's the excuse I'm using....totally not anything else...

 

Eh, you could be good :P thanks for the fun times last week, hope you do it again this week
