And Beg Bass:

I keep fumbling a note or two in the very last section.  Maybe some RR is called for!

 

Also a fun song...  Between this and Alestorm, we've got a pretty solid pirate vibe this week!

Intermediate Lead - 95.84%, 121 streak

Intermediate Rhythm - 96.66%, 100 streak

That's some nice scores. I will try to push to 97s but that'll be another day.

Happy birthday Mortalo and Joey!

You are great, guys!

Finally some good score my way.  I usually loose my multiplier on those damn power chords. Those and the solo is my weak spot in this song.

 

EDit:  Some rhythm to.

Little bit of birthday trivia, it's also Carrie Fisher's birthday today... So let's head on down the Cantina and play some Han solo's on the rebel bass :)

Steve Crooper was born on 21st! So let's watch Star Wars listening to Blues Brothers :D

Had some more time before the fiancée got home.

Minor update:

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l274/OliverEr/Skyclad_zps001f5509.pngI would like to get it to 100 but we'll see :)

LMAO :lol:

 

It's been so long since I've watched Ep. IV, V and VI, that I almost forgot about that scene from the movie.... too funny.

Damn it! my Real Tone Cable is not working well

I'm going to fix it tomorrow and then give more tries to Metropolis Pt.1

My humble O's (not going to be lazy this week and actually give some "thorts from ma brain!") :

 

Skyclad, nice and laid back to start. Brew a cup of tea/roll a cigarette while you wait for the bass line to kick in. In terms of the very brief arpeggio requiring a rather large reach or a decently quick 3rd finger shift and some relatively hastey fret shifts, I'd rate it about a 3.

 

Alestorm, fast, furious, fun... if you're a mother plucker like me though, get some vaseline on those finger pads. I found it a tad easier than Skyclad tbh so I'd say 2.90ish to 2.99.

 

John Butler Trio, boingy. I like "Boingy!" a 6 for me I feel. This is the kinda bass line I like to play, repetitive and fun rhythms, a good dose of shifting and some nice flourishes to make you feel like you're contributing to the tune and not just following the drum beat. I'll take the 6 back and say 7 actually... there is a beastly skip from the D to E string at the end which I either miss the E or the D or both and shout at my monitor a bit. SEVEN! :)

 

Oh yeah, and @@Kaijin, the inlay worked a treat!

@@MilkmanDan the link worked... as you may see :) Cheers to you both!

Hi Ramirof!

 

Great that you are here - now thats a start! :D

Seems like you might end up in adv / masterclass - your scores are already valid there - if you want you can give it a try!

 

R.

Many some impressive great score at this week have all, seems i must be leveled down yet at one class to intermediate class :)

I do not believe that you'll be able to achieve <79% twice in a row :P

@@Mortalo I can miss 3 week in row for my class  :P

@ but I wanted competition this week, im only winning by ~.3% on Zebra

@@then3verend I remind you that you need to get 99.5% on bass track to advance to MC :)

Intermediate Rhythm- 97.19%, 128 streak

Now it's only @@MaZtoR to jump over ;) Though knowing @@Kaijin, he won't let it go either :D

I'll try, but I was surprised with the last score myself... let's see if I can pull off some extra .xx% :)

Do this mean that i am in adv rhythm next week?  If so. then i really have to learn proper chord changes. As of now even my power chords changes suck.

 

Also.  @@Mortalo im going to make you work hard for it.

The jack is giving me some issues, i will replace it and get it working again!
