Have a great week!

 

I though that capo should be installed to press on fret (metal thing I mean) not the place between them??

Not on the metal, slight before!! Just like doing a barre chord instead you index the capo. Look at the video you've posted, it's on 4th there. We had this solution any weeks ago with another capo song.

Big improvement but my right hand cant my find its way to the right fret without my eyes. So i need to memorize the tapping part.  Thankfully it does not look all that complicated, and it might be time to learn how to tap.

Chris wolstenholme actually plays this with ho's and po's... it's like the fucking catalina wine mixer, except without the boats :)

For those of us across the pond, could we trouble you to translate this from English English into plain English? :P

Chris Wolstenholme plays with hammer ons and pull offs... The Catalina wine mixer is a movie reference from Step Brothers, po's and ho's just reminds me of their mash up https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o8T095mFdW8

 

:)

 

Ah, so  hos and pos are TLAs (Two Letter Acronyms), not to be confused with TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms).

 

Unfortunately I missed Step Brothers at the latest high-art film festival.  Thanks for the clarification

Question I didnt see asked any where. Is there a limit to the number of times you play a song before submitting? I thought about getting in on the fun. I thought i should start at Int for bass. I have never heard this Ghost song. After i played it through once maybe i should start at Beg :(  Can i play it 50 times then submit? I noticed that most of the ones above are on the 1st playing. Just curious.

There is no rules on this. Check for example my submission previous week (almost 50 :) ):

@Trblntrbln   thank you for the response. 

New MasterClass Rhythm song (and a bonus lead one), originally played at week 36:

Lead

MasterClass: Black Sabbath - War Pigs

 

Rhythm

MasterClass: Black Sabbath - War Pigs

 

I selected dreed's version, though liquid's one does not differ much.

I remember when we played War Pigs, and it had a lot of recognition problems

That both looks too easy at fist glance. And the problem is that Rhythm doesn't differ from Lead in that song, the same notes as I can see few minutes before.

@@Nacholede let me guess....bends on the 20? Amirite?

nop hahaha

It had recognition issues with power chords and some notes, and i think we changed the song due to that

Hey people. Just a suggestion: can we get an alternate track for int lead that is somewhat closer to E standard tuning? Or at least keep the beginner-int sections at E or Eb in the future because most of us don't really have many guitars lying around and/or have trouble tuning and staying in tune so low.

I hate being in D for a whole week and even worse is changing between E and D all the time.

Sorry, I don't have another guitar and it's not really set-up for D standard. My intonation is waaay off.

You can unpack song with RS toolkit, open chart in EOF and try transpose it to DropD. I've done it that previous week. PM me for details if needed.

It really often doesn't accept my chords and I don't know why. But I can't say that it often make a miss in the same place -- it is kinda random. Maybe trouble is A445 tuning? Also some chord slides are done as a bunch of single notes not a chord (no chord frame in game) and at the begining there is a place where note on A string get slide than sustain, than there is a small gap O_o and then vibrato. And honestly it is somewhat boring, played it several times and want to sleep now...

Lil' update on the INT. Still working on Muse, the hopo's training is going pretty nicely :) .

 

I think there is a bit of an issue with the last 5 or so phrases of Ghost Cirice where there is a few notes not getting recognised or might be a little out of sync... not game breaking but might piss a few folk off trying to get 100%. Otherwise it's a fine chart and the charter should not be punished and only laden with gifts of emeralds and pearls and semi clad people of preferred gender to feed them grapes and shit... not literally shit, I hasten to add.

@@TrbInTrbIn Yeah, gonna have a lot of fun with the toolkit and EoF tomorrow morning. I'm afraid my brain is too shot atm to attempt much.

Thanks!

If you have any feedback for Cirice, feel free to leave a comment on the song or PM Brooklyn_Sounds :D 

I can't take a look at the piggies of war until tonight or tomorrow...but I'm going to try a couple of things with it and see if I'm right.

Lots of good songs this week! Here's a couple to get started:

I like Primus, Les Claypool is a god, but I've never heard this one until now. Bass sounds way more fun than guitar, though the guitar chart wasn't too bad.

 

http://i.imgur.com/mtSUcLE.jpg

 

Crash Test Dummies is another good 90s band. This isn't my favourite track by them or anything, but it's pretty good, and the guitar is bloody hard. I got the hang of chorus and verse by the end of this, I think I can throw another 10-15% on next attempt.

Some improvements...

My best score on (Mmm)⁴ was half way through a one hour session of continuous play = 98.4%

It isn't the usual screen shot, but I'm a FreeBird anyways, so who,cares.

 

I've tried using the hopo^TM approach on Helsinki Jam, with some improvement - nothing earth shattering, but up over 80%

 

Note that I have taken the liberty of registering the Trade Mark on "hopo" on behalf of @@NoonyDeloony.  Expect her to create a genuine set of hopo^TM training materials and accessories, all available over the web at minimal cost except for the excessive shipping and handling fees.  Her checque will eventually be in the mail once all costs and reasonable management fees have been recouped.

@@2groggy hate to pop your bubble but I believe Activision or Harmonix has that term trademarked.

Round 2!

That ultra fast verse lick is actually so easy once you get over the speed. Tapping's a lot easier once you know it's coming, too. Pretty easy as far as Advanced songs go, especially after the last month we've had, oy!

Love play for my favourite bunch of Englanders. Another new one to me. This one REALLY struck me, though. Totally gonna lplay and sing this on acoustic.

Improved on this some too, but I just found out Crash Test Dummies got booted out of MC? :(  As a Canadian, I am affronted!! Why, even? Maybe I should read the thread...  :P

Was it a bad tab? It seemed pretty spot on to me. I agree that it would be better with chord arpegs, but you could say the same thing about a lot of songs we play in CS. I didn't have any of the tuning or registering problems anybody else had, either.

 

Mostly I'm just miffed that my progress is meaningless and instead I have to learn another 8 minute song this week. We sure get a lot of those lately!

 

Why don't we just call War Pigs Advanced Rhythm, and whoever doesn't like the (in my opinion, completely accurate and functional) tab doesn't have to play it? I don't know perfectly well what the Rhythm chart is like on War Pigs but I'm having a hard time imagining it as MC level.

primus bass and helsinki jam bass
