-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

Muse is one of my favourite of all time artists, but I have never heard of this song before. It's pretty good! Should be, it's from their golden age, after all.

Hah, for some reason there is 2001 put there. I must've fucked up something. It is Starlight single which is 2006. But if you consider 2001 - 2006 golden age, then be it ! :)

never heard of this before and must say that I don't really like it, but have to play it this week in all paths (but it's not that bad, getting familiar with it)

@@Nacholede Yeah I agree, but I knew it had to come from a gh3 fan

its only a week, I've been achieving personal goals mostly

Looking at the song selection, it looks like it'll be the only bad week for Mc for awhile

Well, i don't like the song too much, i'll give it some tries and play other songs, i hope to beat that score

Very nice a song by Elastica! Can`t stop to play, of course after reworked lead. There  link only lead

Added missed notes, resync beatmap, added autotones.

Video  of my version:

I remember when i heard Connection for the first time on one of the chapters of Beavis & Butthead 

Old good times

I played all the songs today a bunch, but just tied myself, mostly. I must have been in the zone yesterday. Couple +1s, but I ain't busting out the print screen key for +1s on Sunday! 

Back to Intermediate Lead:

Intermediate Lead - 97.66%, 168 streak

@ was right, it's not that difficult. One session in RR (from 65% speed) and the first sections green all the time. This bends on D string are still tough to pull off. And that part on high string is not so scary either, better memorization (as currently I'm still forgeting something or I'm being too slow) and it'll be ok. Tremolo ending is sweet, as it's really easy.

I will be sad if I won't go above 98%.

Been a while since I've posted thoughts on song difficulties:  (bass)

 

Beginner:  Elastica - Connection

I played this once, and I remember it was fun and not hard, but I can't remember specifics enough to comment.  I'll come back to it and edit later.

Played again.  Mostly static frethand position, played on 2 strings only, not fast or any big stretches...  It's harder than "Black Magic", but not much.  Good pick even for true beginners.

My difficulty rating: 2

 

Intermediate:  Muse - Easily

Maybe I'm having an off day or something, but this one felt *hard* for an intermediate.  Almost as hard as the MC song, but I guess I'd rank it just lower because this has a somewhat more regular pattern / riffs whereas the MC goes out into left field in spots.  But still, lot of fretboard shifting, lot of string skipping, fast and somewhat unusual rhythm pattern.

My difficulty rating: 7

 

Advanced:  Alestorm - Walk the Plank

Not a big fan of Alestorm and don't feel like tuning down to C.  On the other hand, I can just tune my 5 string *up* a half step and do it that way...  I might get around to it.  But not just now.

 

MC: The Fall of Troy - F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.

Like I said in my comment with 1st try score submission before, a lot of this song is pretty easy...  And then it goes nuts for a little bit.  The harder parts aren't too long, but they catch you unaware (or at least they did me).  Quick, precise shifting and positional awareness up on the "meedly meedly" higher frets is needed there.  I'd give it a legit MC difficulty rating, but we've had several harder songs recently, so:

My difficulty rating: 8-9

piece by piece..

I am not a fan of detuning to C, but here ya go. I might give it another go at some point.

I thought I noticed an influx of downloads on that song :D 

If anyone wants to make a video of it, be sure to send it to me so I can throw it in the record :).

Enjoy the life of a pirate! \m/
