... and an uptick on ETR

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=402291090

95.09% accuracy

149 note streak

Finals week at the school where I teach, but I actually don't have all that much on my schedule.  Been doing Windows rebuilds in my PCs though, so between all of that I'm late to start.

 

Just tried bass on all songs except beginner (can't be asked to tune to Eb).  Beatles is OK but not a favorite of mine.  Aerosmith I got a passable first try (98%) but not really digging the song.  For me, Iron Maiden songs are pretty polarizing -- either great or hate it ... this week's is a hate it for me.  I got a solid 80% in first playthrough, but some leveled down sections so I'm going to need to redo it with a DD Removed version.

 

I probably should devote some actual practice to it, because it would be good for me to develop some skill in using the pinkie of my frethand (I have pretty big hands so I usually get by with a small shift and using the ring finger instead).  BUT ... I think I'm probably going to end up getting one pathetic (but valid) score after running through DD Remover to maintain diehard status and then wait for next week.  So, I'll join you in the "taking a break" lounge, @!

 

@@Rodman It was not the best save tho. as far as i can see you are not tied in "INT LEAD"

And maybe the Beatles song doesn't love me so...

not bad, but this song, especially bass is a little bit straining in the middle.

would prefer Eat The Rich, big big fun.

@, @@then3verend You have way too similiar avatars. For a while I was thinking why fripp is posting worse lead score :blink: And then I realized that it was then3verend. It's too late...

Knock Knock!

Who's There??

Slight improvements

I'm going to take part this week and then probably forget to look at the championship for a month, but oh well, it's fun when I remember.

 

Tried the Aerosmith lead even though I'm nowhere near good enough to play it. Solos mess me up, I just flail at the strings, but I managed an alright 86% on my first attempt, so I'll take it - http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/538516512379688111/4BDE434D2A9D1D4E4FDE86C0C82C463615386381/

 

I also had a go at Iron Maiden and managed just over 88%, but I totally forgot to take a screenshot so I might try again tomorrow.

who would believe 4 lads from Liverpool could make something that seems so easy, so hard!

 

 

interm lead:

I think that I'm at the point of diminishing returns and exponentially increasing frustrations:

 

Bass for ETR:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=402742580

Accuracy =97.7

Longest streak = 184

 

Time to play some other songs

Struggling for time this week. Also seems i am struggling for skill........

 

The 77.4% was @ 80% speed. If i can hit this @ 100% i'll be happy.
