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

Mostly finished up the karaoke version of You Oughta Know this morning. Found a better audio version where the bass audio at least very closely aligns with what's tabbed. For whatever reason the slides at the end of the second chorus didn't survive the "CDLC 2 Tab" and "Import Guitar Pro" process, and my attempt to fix it created an abominable mess. I guess I can also go back to the GP file to try and fit it, but if any can let me know how to fix things like that inside of EoF that would be great. In the meantime, I guess it should only be a missed note or two.

 

Another thing I'm not sure about is the unpitched slides. They seem to work as they are, but they tend to go one fret (the default, I gather) and not end up anywhere near the target fret. Basically I just don't know how to work slides at all inside of EoF (or I guess how to do the necessary things in Guitar Pro for unpitched slides).

 

@@NoonyDeloony - it's definitely not perfect yet as discussed above, but it should be 99.5% playable.

 

That was quick, thank you! I don't know how legit me submitting a score for that the karaoke version would be but I don't mind if it's not :) I just like the bass line and and even as a 20 year old song it's still pretty popular for girls to angrily do the "pointy fingers" dance at their bewildered boyfriends in some of the clubs here so it's worth a learn :) much appreciate your hard work and time putting that together @@albatross213 :) cheers again!

quick update

 

Cities on Flame Lead 92,34%

 

Cities on Flame Rhythm 97,39%

Tried Big gun lead a few times today but the solo is to long and hard for me so i decided that i wont play it anymore. I don't believe i would learn anything from it.

 

But here are some Rhythm improvements.

@@MaZtoR Same feels, i have not enough skill for learn this solo in one week. For my half of the song it is awful sounds with my play, and i not see any way improve it. So i`m gonna spend  all my time at a great song by B.B. King.

Oh - sketchy internet connection so forgive me for not getting back sooner...

 

I played Big Gun again.  It was even worse than my first attempt.

 

I still think this is the most difficult bass song - but then we're all different, and some do better at some things than others.

 

I'm just shit at most bass related things… lol

 

/as you were.

Intermediate Lead - 89%, 76 streak

I played it for you @Rod, it's not that difficult. Little RR on the single note part and it can be 95% in no time. End can be a little more troublesome, though. While the Morissette is quite annoying, surprisingly song is fun to play.

I'm working on the issues on Cities On Flames Lead that manchot66 can fix them. Puh, it's more than I thought. Sitting about 2 hours to find them out and screenshot them, would be about 8 or 9 bars. Be patient, new version should come out soon.

 

after finishing there were about 15 bars corrected. Now let's wait and see

And now for something completely different:

Not technically my first attempt at this song since I'd played an earlier version once before, but it's my first run of this more updated version. Fantastic song, everything from BoC is so much fun to play. 

 

Anyways, 88% MC Lead

@ Did you also get the later solo on the 14-16s on the G? That definitely did not sound right

For some reason cant crack this, so I'll hold it here for now

I definitely got it, it's about 3 bars and now on 9-11 fret, then it goes up to 17 what is right.

getting closer:

Gave alanis another shot:

Had an epic run on one of my regular songs, so I decided to try once more: glad I did...I can definitely tell that I've improved vastly over the last two weeks

in the meanwhile I play the rhythm

http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150520/g2rhumvy.jpg

First thing's first, Cities on Flame is very wrong on a series of notes on bass...

Maybe it's just me, but I had a bunch of "misses" on the E string for open and properly fretted notes until I tuned the E string ~10 cents flat.  I still can't keep up on the fast bits, but my frustration level has dropped.  I'm up to 86% on bass

and I thought I was going crazy when that happened to me, stopped the next day after though(didn't retune anything)
