So i was thinking "Eh, lets try the whammy bar on those bends, whats the worst that can happen?"

Apparently this:

 

The worst that can happen is for sure not a good score. The worst that can happen is practicing wrong technics for your life just for a score.

Once a thing you've learned it's very hard to correct it to the right one. And for sure nobody would play a solo like this with Whammy Bar instead of proper bends in real life.  Anyway I advise against it if you seriously want to play guitar with proper technics.

I'm comin' for ya @@Kaijin!

 

Tough song but I'm enjoying the challenge. Sounds really cool when you get it right.

Wasn't expecting nothing else from you @@MonstaS4 :D

 

Let's see if I can raise my score a little bit, to makes thing more interesting. :)

Intermediate Rhythm - 96%, 126 streak

 

Intermediate Lead - 91.89%, 54 streak

This 2nd fret bends :angry: Though I was able to hit some, or should I say make RS to recognize it :D I played a little after this run, but I couldn't get better %, as I was doing lots of silly misses. I will be back tommorow (or day after). I still think it's 6.

Sorry to ruin Int party :D

Damn alcohol, making me miss deadlines :S

I actually only use it for one section near the end. However, I know my technique sucks, I never bend, I always use slides, and i just recently learned how far I need to slide based on the arrow of the bends. Bending makes me cringe and hope and pray that my strings don't snap. As well as on my high E, because I screwed it up, If I bend it a whole step or farther it comes loose from the saddle of the Floyd.

That did just motivate me to learn how to bend over this summer, so thanks for that.

Still too fast. But getting to know the song really helps.

Also.  Im king of Advanced rhythm.  I've got 3 golden awards..  :D

@@MaZtoR You should be quite, now you have only 2 :P

I'm officially in the lead guitar game too, but only at the beginner level so far.  Think It Over lead 89.04% (I hope that this link works... Steam is being twitchy today)

doesn't change my position, but always feeling good about getting through SA on Hard!

 

secret agent rhythm:

Let the gradual improvement begin, but this time on beginner lead. Think It Over lead - 91.43%

On a previous take I messed up during the last chorus ("You think you made it?" Apparently not.). But I finally got that 100% out of the way.

Will hopefully be able to up my score on Lazy during the remainder of the week. Provided I'm not feeling too... lazy.

@@albatross213 I feel kinda the same right now
Wow that fail on my spelling

Doesn't look like I'll be able to do much this week, we'll be on a road trip to Missouri to pick up a couple of Basenjis that we have decided to 'rescue'.

A few % closer to 90.....
