Guitar stuff:

 

Adv lead:

http://i.imgur.com/QiVgMJw.jpgShould be able to improve a lot. At full speed my picking hand gets confused a lot and my fretting hand sometimes gets confused which string is which when switching to the F and C chords for some reason.

 

MC lead:

I don't get these solos at all. This was my best run by a few % so far, but I'm not entirely sure why. Might have capitalized on the few parts of the solo I can follow, or it might have been that I was damn near spotless in the verse and chorus (while my longest streak was only 96, I think I had at least a few over 50). Not sure how much I can improve from here.

 

Adv rhythm:

Oddly enough the times I've played it since I've done worse. I think because my fretting hand gets tired and then starts messing things up during the repeats of the chorus at the end. But this doesn't really seem that hard.

 

Probably will also give Mr. Jones a few more serious goes than my first playthrough, as that didn't go especially well.

Edit: Gave Mr. Jones some more serious goes. Didn't actually do any riff repeater to get here.

Also, kind of funny that both this and Ohio have both C and F chords. Don't remember having seen too many other songs with F chords, and for some reason I feel like it's been a while since I've had to do many C's. 

 

 

Now for MC bass:

http://i.imgur.com/SnSRIul.jpgChallenging myself to do this on my six string bass, as I've never really been able to do slap on it before. Tighter string spacing and greater number of strings makes it a bit harder to pick out the right strings or to sound good. Anyway, put in some practice and got a decent amount better, but still not amazing.

Gutted for you @@Gamut :'( @@albatross213's idea sounds good though :D

@@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

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:

http://i.imgur.com/yQIE7Hv.jpg

@ 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,

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 :)

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

Anyway, glhf!
