I had the selection ready but I decided that the bass path in Billie Eilish's song is not very good for the championship as it starts in the middle of the song. That's why I added it as a bonus, now give me a moment to find some only bass CDCL for beginners, or give me a suggestion!

Edit. Ok done!

Lead:

Needlessly long imo.

Rhythm:

Bass will have to wait till my fingers are better.

[Mattscall]

The link to the leadership spreadsheet is linking to the call of Ktulu cdlc.

[Rodman]

yay, what a bass week!

(8) i´d say

 

 

 

[Rodman]

and (8.5)

 

oh no... i fear the guitar parts already

 

[coldrampage]

Ending goes out of sync and bass uses a distortion sound, oof.
Was expecting it to be way worse given how this was one of the first few customs I made tho. Still need to redo most of my old MTH stuff.

Ending doesn't go out of sync on guitar, must've not deleted an extra bar on bass or something.



Clean bits nuked my score.

[Rodman]

what a nice beg tune!!!!

 

 

 

[Rodman]

whooo... mostly punky luckywise (6.5)ish

 

 

 

 

 

[Rodman]

[Nacholede]

One of my favorite albums of 2021

And this one was hard, but Unleash the Archers is always fun to play

Bass fingers still healing, but here's some progress.

@ Nacholede Thanks for posting earlier this time, it helps to know what I'm up against.

[luckyoldme]

Challenging but happy with progress so far

 

[Mattscall]

Rhythm beg - 

 

Rhythm Inter - not heard this one before but what a song.  love the transition from the slow/quiet to the heavy outro.

 

[ShankD]

Dreamcrusher is an apt name for that one. It is definitely giving me the business

Bass kind of week for me

David Bowie - Definitely should have 100% this, just ended up plucking the A string instead of the E at one point early in the song. Will probably give this another couple shots later since through a series of unfortunate issues (mainly skill related), I rarely 100% songs.

 

Billie Eilish - Decent song really. Not a fan of waiting half of it to actually play so probably won't play again. (pretty sure if you go to riff repeater and just immediately choose to resume song you start at the beginning and it will track properly, but, meh).

 

Maximum the Horomone - Went into it blind and had no idea what to expect and still got hit out of left field. Second run went much better but I can't slap on my bass (low action + high bridge pickup = dead strings for slapping) or in general, so there's a chunk there I'll only ever get to do so well at. Probably leave this one as is also.

Been working on a couple of days on these

[diceslinger]

Is this just a modern day "You done me wrong" song?  Seems very similar to Olivia Rodrigo.

Tried this one for a warmup

I thought this one was the hardest one on bass this week.  I think I would rate it an 8.  That first part took a few restarts to get.

 

I don't know if I want to know what this song is about, but it is fun to play.  

[Mikson]

I forgot one screenshot before, so I was playing today and posting everything. Lead first.

 

Nice easy song from probably the most popular The Killers album.

I am a little bored with the first half, but then it turns into fun.

To be honest, this song is annoying to me, but at least it is a good practice for fast power chords. I don't think I will fight to win here...

As a fan of longer, extended compositions, I really liked this song! Thank you to someone who added this on the selection list even though they did not enter a nickname.
