@@then3verend It's certainly weird. 2 half steps bending + vibrato, according to eof :D

Not the one shown, but the one with the X on the first fret

@@then3verend hmm I've listened to it more thoroughly and that note is a string mute for sure, i'm hesitating if it should be played in the 4th fret instead of the first one, but since i'm anything except a guitar savant, what do you guys think?  B)

Well shoot, my bad, you're right...

*Hides in the corner in shame*

I couldn't get an uptick on Think It Over lead yesterday, but got a big one today.  I'm up to 94.02%.  That might be a plateau that I can't get past in the next day and a half.

 

That brings me to Secret Agent Man on lead.  The other day, I mentioned expecting poor scores, but posting them anyways due to having no shame... 69% - Could Be Better.  I just don't have the speed for that one yet.  Who chose that damn song, anyways? ;) I guess that I need to play in the beginner sandbox for a while.

 

edit - Oh, and have a good one @@MilkmanDan

Another few takes at Lazy, now with video! Unfortunately, I hadn't worked out all the kinks of the video before my best take, so I just have the screenshot for that.

Interestingly, on both of these attempts I was far better at the first half than in my previous best attempt, but also much worse at the second half (perhaps because I didn't practice it in RR for over an hour beforehand). There's a definite trend to all of my misses on that one riff in the second half: I'm pretty sure all of them were on the note on the middle string after the octave. Not entirely sure why I'd be fretting that one so poorly so consistently, but apparently it's a thing.

I've made frustrating little progress on this song

Small update scorehttp://i.imgur.com/l7bgaIj.jpg for lead path:

Rockin' hard

Again i have updated score. Bad strike and bad summary score, my right hand tired, after half of day practice and have a lot "miss" at a simple chords. But this run was good for solo, played all solo total without miss, seems i understood as this solo to play. it was so unexpectedly, and cool sounds, that i confused and ruined all next parts :).

Try a little harder motive.  You are just a little bit from Masterclass now.  :ph34r:

Yes @. All participants root for you. It's so close :)

I`m fighting now not with score, i trying improve my sounds, always now recording audio (separate track RS and guitar via pedals), and listen how it terrible sounds without backing track, check errors and try fix as i can. It good motivation for hard practice.

There is audio record with of this run "without miss solo" ->>

P.s. Off course in mix no such terrible sounds  :ph34r:

You got this man, being able to level up from advanced to MC feels so good.

That and our battles on advanced were super fun.

Beg lead: 93.42%

@@NoonyDeloony - I hope you can get a new monitor soon! I hope that the move went well otherwise.

 

Let's go @ - getting those last few notes is always tough, but you got this!

 

On the subject of promotion to MC, I'm feeling like I'm ready for bass MC now. I'm hoping I don't regret this decision when the song selection is announced.

No warm up, no practice, first try.

I miss the bass a bunch. This hurt to play, so it is more rest for me....

A few updates, probably the last of the week...

Not sure that i can got there 99, in near time. I know how to play solo,  but still yet can not, yesterday it was big luck. Bored to play it, today dreamed that i play Tankard  :lol:  Will make yet a few attempts late.

Updated only  streak and total score:
