@@Gamut sad to hear that. My notebook is dying but I hope that it'll survive couple more months.

 

@@albatross213 Thanks for that fixed Ohio. Song is difficult so I had no chance of hearing that there is a problem.

Ohio Rhythm:

In my opinion this does not merit an 8 on difficulty and should be moved to the advanced class with Aerosmith moving to masterclass.

I tried Ohio lead, and can not to play bcs of, terrible overgain and loud tone, my ears bleeding. is it only for me?

 

@@Gamut - Nooooooo! No chance of a well timed Christmas present?

 

None. :( My parents told me upfront that as much as they'd like to, they can't afford to get me a computer. 

 

Finding myself not even knowing what to do with my spare time now. Acoustic and old 360 games can only entertain me for so long. Gonna need a new hobby to keep myself sane... :sob:

It's not just you. That tone is nowhere close to what it's supposed to be.

So, i did some tone for this great a song. Of course not exactly as is original, but enough for enjoy :)

Seems there need to use autotone - more gain for solo parts. I did hybrid, playable for all parts.

You could build a computer for around $300 US that would play this game just fine.... If you had any budget whatsoever

Some bass improvements

@@Gamut man that sucks, fingers crossed it can still be resurrected !

after removing the DD and spending 2 days working each section in riff-repeater, this is about as good as i am gonna get for now.

@@fiddlesticks I'll give both Ohio and Elevator another shot and we'll see what can be done :)

MasterClass Rhythm - 80%, 29 streak

It is difficult. Ok, maybe it's easier then Elevator, but I don't know. More voices needed.

L'il update/improvement... that "few weeks to nail-the-riff-and-not-find-it-as-painful!", prediction, seems to have been a significant overestimate...

Todays updates

 

Mr Jones bass - this is really fun to play !

Ohio - a proper lead score

 

http://s29.postimg.org/6ztcdpu1j/csny_ohio_lead.png

 

Love in an Elevator - an early take on the rhythm, still haven't nailed down the tricky intro riff or the variation that comes later on.

@@fiddlesticks Are you sure that it is  fair to play with your skill in advanced class? Great scores.

My mini update for bass slap:

@ don't worry, I'll be back struggling in masterclass lead again next week ! Just let me enjoy this one week of actually being able to play the song for my class :)

OK, so here be mine bass results.

 

Counting Crows 97.92%: 

 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=577142109

 

Ohio 95.25% (I'm used to playing the version from the Isley Brothers, wonder if that has an effect):

 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=577141910

 

And even Aerosmith (95.6%):

 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=577142378

 

I tried Somebody Else's Guy, but my score is so low that I won't be putting it up just yet...

 

 

So I have a question: If I play these songs again, am I supposed to put a new post for them or edit this one?

 

THanks,

 

L

Put them in a new post @@lduperval, posts don't get noticed much if edited with a score update. Use @@Rodman's example, he spams like a legend :)

Rodman, Spam...  That could be the basis for a new superhero tandem:  SpamMan, with his faithful sidekick, The Angry Onion

So yeah, I didn't forget to participate this week!  :) but I had a hard time with these songs.

Anyway, glhf!
