Have fun!

As usual, I pretty much like the selections for this week and look forward to the challenge of learning some things that are new.  However, while downloading, I noticed that one of the charters indicates that DD is enabled but with only 1 dynamic difficulty level.  I have noticed this on other downloads from time to time as well.  I don't understand how you can have dynamic difficulty with only 1 level.  How does that work?

 

Currently have a cold, so i'll see when i'll have some good scores coming, but to start this week

 

Hallowed Be Thy Name Rhythm

i totally fucked up that intro where it changes from those double stops to the little riff on the g-string, hahah oh well.

The song is ok, pretty standard Maiden song not especially ground breaking but not bad either.

Im on 92% on lead right now, but didnt take a screenshot.

And in my opinion the Rhythm part feels more like a Advanced Song. 

 

 

Couldn really get the Gottcha's song, felt like theres something missing in the song.

I really liked the Amy Whinehouse song, despited it being really boring to play on guitar.

And Johnny B Goode is always a hit ;D By long my Favourite song this week.

 

Have a great week & a relaxing sunday guys!

Hi everyone,

So this is my first participation in the CS...I thought I'd have some fun :)

 

Here's Amy Winehouse on the bass :

@@justgimmethefunk Nice to see you here :)

but that did

Just a small update: 

 

Maiden, bass 92%:

I don't know whether it counts, as it marked me down on one of the sections.  Still, if I drop to intermediate, it's probably more my level anyway. :)

_{Now thats better...}

A bit of improvement

 

\m/ Bass - http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/537385812070754751/3D094DEBC38D5C1CA4DF3CD1BA8BAEFF9DF89562/

Okay, first try:

http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/28479055587249864/D734C01EAA0DB09566C0FDF6680AF9D348F8F3EF/

Still feel like this should be advanced 

Hallowed be Thy Name Rhythm

I'll have to check out the intro in RR and ~99% should definitely be possible.

Hi, great song, good practice for some chords (I hate E7... lol)

http://i60.tinypic.com/2v3t0k6.png

I fucked up on the last part of the solo but here it is! And i think the song needs a better tone

getting closer.

 

interm lead:

one more 100% 

http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150112/rx6kb9q3.jpg

 

and this one I also try to get 100, little bit harder here because the chord slides, 1 finger stay and 3 sliding up one fret, often get misses here. But I will get 100 here too

the MC songs this week still needs some more practice

Maybe I'm just nit picking, or maybe it's just my version of Johnny B.Goode has a bug, but, there seems to be some gaps in Johnny B. Goode's bass line. I can hear bass being played but there's almost a deliberate pause in the chart (to rest up and take 5 because the bass line's a bit of a perpetual bitch on the fingers maybe?)

 

There are sections also when in RR, you can't practice. Like the whole intro for instance. I tend to practice in chunks at a slower speed and double up the speed and play the intro 'til I can play it to a not too shame-worthy level, then tag on the verse and so on. I've been having to learn on the fly, and play the whole song all the way through on full speed, this is killing my hands as at the same time as trying to figure out the correct finger technique I can't comfortably play because my hands haven't gotten used to the finger pattern at a slower speed, if you catch my drift. Is there anyway I can fix this so I can play the intro in RR at the slower pace or should I just suck it up and deal with it?

 

Oh, and my "improvement" although my first 71% score went unrecorded, I've gained a 4% increase! Weu! :)

I hear some gaps in the chart also, seems like it could use a bit of adjusting.

 

And I noticed the same issue with RR not stretching all the way to the intro also -- I wanted to play the whole song through at 75% speed or so to build up muscle memory too!  I've got an idea on a possible way to fix it by tweaking with settings in the Dynamic Difficulty Creator/Remover, or barring that I may have time to actually open it up in EOF and check out the section tags.  If I get something working I'll post a link here.

Thanks Milky D :) much appreciated, I'm also glad I am not the only one who needs to build up the "mumemo" through a gradual speed increase :D
