Metric - Gimme Sympathy

 

Not my favourite metric song to play, but it did lead to a morning of playing other songs of theirs, which was a lot of fun! 

 

Rage Against the Machine - Guerilla Radio

 

I already know this song from shinyditto12's version - sounds perfectly fine to me and I'm not sure I'm that keen on re-learning a new version for this week, so here's a score from the way I learned it.

Native Construct - Chromatic Lights

 

Sorry, but I can't even listen to this !

 

Polkadot Stingray - Electric Public

 

Looks a bit beyond me, but I'll give it a shot.

 

 

 

[MaZtoR]

Rest of the songs.

[RSjeffH]

I would rather be a Rolling Stone. 

 

 

[Staji]

[Gamut]

I know it looks like I super rigged this week... but actually there's barely any MC songs on the Song Selection list, or Beginner ones for that matter! If you know any good ones, help make the CS great by putting them into the SSL.

 

Scores! Let's start with Int/Adv:

 

 

Very impressive tones for a RatM song, love this custom. Solo's pretty mean for intermediate, but I believe in you guys!!

 

 

I only became aware of this band really recently, and wow. This has quickly become one of my favourite warm ups. The groove can be hard to catch at first, and the chromatics are kinda weird, but there's nothing here an Adv player can't handle.

[wrentheseedling]

Alright peoples, how do you do three minutes of tremolo without completely cramping up.

And to add to the fun I've been practicing the wrong song. . .

--Wren

[wrentheseedling]

Alright right song now, now I'm just failing miserably at the last few phases. But I got my highest score on a failure ever!

--Wren

[FearTheTitan]

[MaZtoR]

This song really is weird.  But its fun to play.

Slight increase on the rage.

[Telboy]

here is some early scores,

 

 

i might get a bit better as the end bit caught me out a bit, id rather be a Beatle   B)

 

 

not really loving this song on bass.......

 

 

or Rhythm 

 

 

dont lke the lead much either.

 

 

it says that i could do better........ I say i will not even bother to get better. Weird weird weird.

 

 

i am going to have to watch the video again to see if i can get any tips  ;)

 

loving the metric song though

 

night night all

[Telboy]

STOP PRESS.......   100.4%

 

 

​something obviously isn't right, i have no idea what happened but i didn't even beat my 880,609 previous best score,

 

:wacko:

[missis sumner]

My totally underwhelming scores for the evening:

I've been feeling sick, and we've had power cuts.  Those are my excuses, and I'm sticking to them. :)

 

Edit:  It would also help if the DT song scrolled properly.  Anyone having the same issue with the PC version, or is it just my Mac conversion?

UGH!

[Gamut]

First stab of the week on the MC:

 

 

Really fun percussive song - so much fretmuting! I think I'll get into the mid 90s after I tidy up the second verse riff and the solos.

[missis sumner]

C'mon - who's put @@Telboy's 100.4% and my failed song on the scoreboard?  It wasn't me!  :lol:
