Tried the song in my class... nice song

Tried the new(er) version of One...slightly simpler on the intro, nothing else that i noticed

Intermediate Lead - 85%, 45 streak
My finger-picking is not on a good level. Practice needed.
 
MasterClass Bass - 93%, 357 streak

 

Advanced Rhythm - 96.47%, 368 streak

That was not good run. Too many silly mistakes + my TV was angry at me, going black for few seconds (on easy part, so maybe I didn't do bad there).

Here's the promised Chris Squire custom: Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand/You By My Side

 

No guitar on this one but it would be great for a special Chris Squire bass CS.

Advanced Bass - 99.65%, 1026 streak

I'm loosing grip on pick, as my hands go all sweaty. Too many misses on slow part :angry:

@@Aludog Perfect!

If someone have not bass guitar, can to play on emulated bass. Or yet  have until the end of the week for buying bass guitar.

Enough a this one:

i also played the bass for the iron maiden track but i forgot to screenshot the score :P

 

i wish i could play them much more, but i have no time today :(

and one is one of my favourite songs ever, i'm happy you hadn't used it for the competition before i came in. an extra excuse to play it

So here comes tribute to great bassist Chris Squire:

Chris Squire Tribute (Bass only): Chris Squire - Hold Out Your Hand/You By My Side

All very ropey, not got round to playing Iron Maiden yet, but that will be incoming later. I had Seventh Son on vinyl many years ago but lost it at school when I was using it as part of an art project... pretty sure it was stolen :( gutted.

 

was wondering why I was finding Iron Maiden brick for an adv' track :)... it's not advanced is it? Nope... *pthrrrrrbbbth* :P (brain) 

 

Iron Maiden has been put to bed, back to One :)

It's very hot down in the arse end of Essex today, I don't know what it's like in the rest of Europe, but I'm not used to playing in this kind of heat (I don't think the UK had a summer last year…).

@@missis sumner When you hover your cursor over your post, on the bottom there should be delete, if not, you can ask :)

I remember dial-up :D

It's not really hot here, rather normal spring. Oh, it's summer already?

In Portugal it's also very hot, in some regions of the country today the temperatures went to 40ºC-42ºC.

 

When the temperatures here are above 30ºC, I can't play during the day, my room gets extremely hot and there's no AC here :(, so I have to wait for the evening when the temperature gets much lower (18ºC-20ºC) and then I can play without sweating all over the guitar/bass :lol:

same here, but not that hot like in Portugal. We have a huge high over big parts of Europe with winds from south, so they promised for the next few days temps up to 38 in Germany up to GB. Finally summer, yippieh :D

@@Mortalo, just wait a bit, it should also come to Poland

find rhythm where i can.

Roommate forgot to pay the bill, out of power again...

My tapping is not getting recognized on the solo, damn :c

Don't know why that happens

First attempts at the Chris Squire song. I'm not very good at it  :unsure:

 

First, with a pick on the Rick (taken too late, but whatever. It was 92%):

Next, with fingers on the Rick:

I kind of suck at picking. In the second run I totally lost my place during the sections before the descending run. That and many other ailments be cured with riff repeater, but Infinite Dreams is probably higher priority.

 

Also, I kind of want to chart Long Distance Runaround now. Kind of surprised no one's done it already.

Saving this post for the video when it comes up...uploading now...

The video itself is a 99.7% run...BUT I do have the actual bass cam so people can see what I'm doing, along with my terrible shaving job

(but thank god for nice parents nearby with Wi-Fi :) )

EDIT: its up...new vid next month :P

I really like this song, but i feel there are really little room for me to improve. The solo is just way beyond what i can manage.  Might remove DD and give it a try in score attack later.
