Happy new week!

Played the low tunings with .008s on my beginner Epiphone guitar - Felt like a toy but also easy to fret -

Maybe I should go down from 10s to 9s on my regular guitar

[BubbleWrapDragon]

One of my suggestions made it into a week
A perfect excuse to try learning the song!

[BubbleWrapDragon]

The first bass song I was able to fully sightread

obligatory Isn't She Lovely attempt

[loudly]

Thanks for adding the song I requested.

I was hospitalized last week and my eyes are not good now. 

It's hard to play rocksmith perfectly, but I'll try my best.

[BubbleWrapDragon]

Lots of chord shapes I still need to learn

[gspot]

 

[Mikson]

Scores from testing. Lead first.

Good, easy Polish rock from the early 2000s, I remember this was played very often on the radio for many years.

Nice, Pierce The Veil songs are interestingly arranged and good to play.

Ah, Japanese rock, as always I could expect a crazy chart and I was not disappointed! Luckily this is within my ability to play and it's a really fun chart!

Another good chart, after closer play this is 8.5 rather than 9 in terms of difficulty.

[Mikson]

Rhythm

These chords surprised me a bit, although don't seem difficult after playing for a while.

 

[Mikson]

And Bass

[AndreCardoso]

 

My bass in Drop D (or anything with looser strings) has some tuning issues

[RaZrShReD]

[RaZrShReD]

2p with @ zbb on bass

[cacahuate51]

very cool varied week!



i really liked this one! to me it couldve been in the setlist of kent in gh world tour lol. lead is kinda tough with the slides imo



i only know/like a couple of pierce the veil songs not to much a fan on his high voice or lyrics but i liked this one. chorus gfives me some silversunpickup vibes.



was surprised how simple the bass was compared to the rest! have chord trouble recognition so i might not improve this week. but i might try it again later cause it was fun.



dont usually like this type of metal...but it had the unholy confesions esk metal lick so i approve the song

grats on the milestone achievement!! i remember that one took a while

[johnal]

 

A couple of parts beyond my sight-reading skills, will need to RR...

[johnal]

 

RR helped, still messed up a couple of parts

[johnal]

[johnal]

Finally got that middle part on the 8th and 10th fret, I needed to do a little sweep from the B to E string else I got all messed up.  Stilling messing up the slide in the main riff.

[Daz40]

Well that's strange I know we played Karma chameleon A lot a few weeks back, and I got ok scores .  But now Its showing 0% as though It has not even been played . Anyone know why this could be ??

I think we used a second version of that boy george song mid way through the week.
