I replaced song for the advanced class in guitar paths and intermediate bass, because the previous one didn't quite match the difficulty ratings for the rhythm and bass classes.

Thanks for the week @ Mikson  and thanks for charting the Fleetwood Mac song!

 

Wow what a song! Haven't heard this in a long time, awesome music video

Good practice for octaves with that open A one to spice it up (3.5)

Never heard this one, sounds brand new!!

Love it, great practice for the 3-4-2 fingering transition from the A to Am shape barre chords, or whatever rhymes with that, been meaning to do this

I think @ jasmith85  had a similar issue last week but my pinky doesn't reliably reach the 7 fret on the 3-5-7 spread so the score is a lil BS (4.5 is probably good)

This is not my CDLC by the way. I discovered it about a year ago and added it to the song suggestion list, and now it turns out that CDLC no longer exists in the database - it's annoying that CDLCs are being removed... So I added what I had to my disk and that's it 😉 This is a really cool chart to play on all paths!

It Is surprising, I have many CDLC that I go to look up again on Ignition and they are gone .
In this case I suppose It Is ok to fix anything for new standards and re-upload.

Have a nice musweek everyone!

Last week I was completely "out of order" and can't play a guitar at all. I was really exhausted and tyred and suffered of my headaches.

Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now. I tastes are different but make a guitar CDLC of electronic... 

WfxwdFD.jpeg jidkIGD.jpeg

Fleetwood Mac - Family Man. Unusual chords. Hard solo. Don't know how to play it.

LOL WAT ppsvCcr.jpeg I can't stretch my fingers like that.

Slayer - Black Magic. Typical Slayer.

Metallica - Master Of Puppets. Comparing new Metallica songs older songs are completely nightmare.

MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all honesty going back a few weeks to talking about practising routines to sharpen up. What do you guys actually do?

I'm a bit of a scatter brain here there everywhere and get overwhelmed with so much information especially on youtube. that it's difficult set in stone a practise routine that keeps my scatter brain interested and motivated and that is fun. I know it different for everyone especially with so many styles around but with so many metal lovers here I this might be the fountain of knowledge. 

Rock ON! 🙂

I thought I wrote out a whole routine for you.
You want better technique I guess
you need a metronome and get your timing down . there Is no instant gratification as satinuke said You have to enjoy and endure the boring stuff to get better 

I don't know what level you are at but I was 20 years In when I thought F!!! this time to get serious .
I went completely back to basics and rebuilt my whole technique 
A good teacher Is always going to help you progress faster but they are hard to find especially in these days of Every other person on youtube Is trying to sell you their bullshit!

I would start here
I use to spend 6 hours a day doing this stuff

Start with downstrokes 1 note per click maybe 60BPM  try to get the metronome click to disappear. then 2,3,4,5,6 notes per click
do this also with upstrokes  start slow and after a time speed it up

do the same with alternate picking on single string up to 10 notes per click
Practice this on all strings everyday 

Trill with the left hand single finger and all finger combinations 
try for 1 minute on each do a few different combo's a day 

I run through chromatics most days, I will run though spider exercises when my hands feel stiff 
Ladders on bass everyday
I will run through some scale shapes on most days
if  I'm really on It I will go through all Interval and numeric combinations, and scale triads seventh's, forwards backwards, up and down Then coils 
I actually find grinding exercises fun (sick I Know)
Oh and I am finally after years starting to crack sweeping, 

But mainly I'm trying to up my time On RS my sight reading sucks!!
my RS plan
1. Championship
2.play through all old Championship songs
3.play all RS1 songs sorted by difficulty all paths
4. Play all bands in collection with over 10 songs and rate by difficulty
5.Play all odlc and dlc from 2014 by difficulty.

Well I think I will never get this song higher. I proud I managed to play one solo block. I have a problems with chaining all together but I don't want to trap myself in endless attempts.

@ cacahuate51  I place my fingers like this. But it's toooooooo wide for me 🤣
