@ BubbleWrapDragon  You achieved over 99% accuracy on the highest difficulty (5) song for the intermediate class. Do you want to be promoted to the advanced class?

Hmm, I thought about it for a bit but I'm not quite sure. It took me a full week of practicing to get the 99%, does that make me more of an intermediate or advanced player?
In the end, it doesn't really matter I guess, so I'll just take it as a reward for my efforts - so I'd like the promotion to the advanced class

I tried this part for quite a while now, but I just can't seem to figure it out how to play it well, does any of you have advice for this part on the Summertime by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes song? 

My approach right now is to:

Hammer-on with the ring finger on 7 B string,
try to switch to E string quickly to do the bend on 7 with the ring finger as well,
then try to quickly move the pinky to 9 on G, do a pull-off and be ready to bar the 7s with the index finger

Overall it's just so fast that I don't see how I can learn this to full-speed

Am I missing something or will I be able to get there someday when my fingers are more nimble?

Yea, so it was you @ someotherbruce ! Havent seen you in a while in the competition man! its good to see you're still active and playing surf music. Its smart that you are using other sources besides rocksmith to learn the song. i should probably do that aswell just so that the songs get stuck in my head more instead of just sightreading songs and forgetting what i played lol.

Learning how to make cdlc does take some time and making them does too sometimes but i find it fun.  As long as you take the time to use the guide i think you'll be okay. if you get stuck theres always the discord channel (probably quickest to get an answer), forum or i would also be happy to try to help.

Thanks. I'm hoping to free up some time. I think I did okay on The Astronauts Baja and The Bel-Airs Mr Moto CDLC. I went to a paid tabs site and had some good tabs created. I did miss marking the hand mutes on Baja. But I also did some CDLC from free tabs at UG, and, well, they are not so good. And I didn't know how to mark a slide on The Asronauts Surf Party, so when I play it, I kind of ignore my CDLC. I have a lot of learning to do, both in how to read tabs in Guitar Pro and how to edit them. Guitar Pro 8 looks cool, as you can synch a recording to the tabs. That's how I quickly learned the tabs I had for Link Wray's Jack the Ripper was missing some bars. I probably just have to repeat a few bars and would be good to go.

Anyway, I have a lot of learning to do to get to a point that any CDLC I make is correct. Like learn a song. Edit tabs to make sure they are correct. Learn how to mark hand mutes, slides and vibrato.

@ BubbleWrapDragon yea small sections like these are why i would consider this song harder to 100 than the one thats currently on the advanced path. Also the fact that the song is divided in quite big chunks doesnt really help in learning it.

I think your approach on how its tabbed is right.
but im not convinced the bends are placed on the correct notes atm..
i think it probably should be placed on the notes before the purple..so its more of a bluesy doublestop thing..so rearranging the 5 and 7 green up to the 9 and 11 orange.. itd be like :

9orange bend (1 whole tone/ so equivalent to the note on 11o, using your 3rd finger and 2nd for support in bending aswell),  7purple (1st finger),  9o bend,  7 p   9o bend, pull off 7, 9 blue (pull off 7b ?) then the chord 9777
but thats my ears and i might be wrong

This is B-Std, but I recommend to try it, good chart and really challenging in some parts.
