Rock On!

[Fandaru]

Links for Coheed and Cambria aren't working. Plus it is both ADV and BEG in rhythm.

[Telboy]

Hey @@Gamut I can’t get the Coheed and Cambria tune, it says it can’t be found

[Gamut]

Hey @@Gamut I can’t get the Coheed and Cambria tune, it says it can’t be found

 

Here you go, guys.

[Telboy]

Cheers @@Gamut

[RSjeffH]

@@Gamut, the intermediate rhythm winner last week is actually the second beginner rhythm winner. I should be the int rhythm winner?

[ZeroPingNZ]

Pretty sure Adv Rhythm should be Metallica :)

[ZeroPingNZ]

First plays on bass

 

This one is probably (5), rather than (4)

 

 

Good challenge this week! 

 

For barely audible bass on this album, this is too complicated. Why did Jason even bother? :)

[ZeroPingNZ]

Rhythm time. I'd probably swap Coheed and Jet, the latter is easier to play

 

 

 

 

This actually looks doable... 

[ZeroPingNZ]

Lead... I hate the chords!

 

 

Gave up on this one in the middle... can somebody tell me how to play this part? I can stretch fingers from 10th fret to 13th easily, 14th is very hard and 15th seems impossible unless I bend over backwards and put guitar almost vertically straight

 

I'm still a beginner in Lead but this is definitely not for Advanced :) doesn't seem to be much more difficult than rhythm

[MellonFarmer]

Here's my first attempts for the week. I think it's a good place to start.

Had half an hour more...

 

[ZeroPingNZ]

 

Lol. I had an even lower score last week, failed after the first 10 seconds or so :)

[Mortalo]

Hey, look, MasterClass Rhythm song was selected ^_^

 

MasterClass Rhythm: Sylosis - Where the Sky Ends (9) as played on week 96

[Mortalo]

@@ZeroPingNZ you did so well on last week's Beginner Lead tune so you've been levelled up to Intermediate :)

Have you tried to use 1 & 2 instead of 1 & 3 for the first chord ?

This way, the pinky stretch should be easier...

[klaw]

hi guys!!!

[MaZtoR]

First for the week.

I feel like it's too early :(

Really enjoyed last week song so I spent several hours practicing it

I'll try... still, 5 frets stretch seems impossible. Should've gone up one string instead and mute the one in between

Can't believe I got through this.
