Bass Path:

... there are quite some bass-only xmas songs in the database... after playing all :) i decided to give the bassist their own arrangements this week, all classic tracks that deserve their slot in the CS. To keep it simple i skipped the other 2 bass arrangements. Feel free to post RELIENT and SPINAL TAP bass scores out of competition, too ...

Intermediate: Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody (6) chosen by @Dancer

Advanced: Temptations - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (7) chosen by @Rudolph

Masterclass: Jackson 5 - Santa Claus is coming to town (7) chosen by @Blitzen

I am not sure If Rudolph or Santa is the real harder line, but as a matter of fact i wanted to gift :gift: Rudy to my mighty mighty sidekick @Deloon of Noon, so decision is final :P

@@then3verend Give us a second to update CCL and give you award.

 

I'm honestly surprised Roddie with all of that. And, cough cough, that triplewin ;) :lol:

Someone has to start... Happy Christmas (War is Over) 100%

 

And, of course, Merry Christmas to all, even the Freebird Police.

Sorry, i guess i need glasses, that text is really small

It is over, where thrash metal, at least one a song?

These should help get us in the mood, at least if I have any time to play around doing the last minute stuff  :).  I thought I'd have an early go this week, but it definitely needs work.

 

Beginner Lead - 89.38%

;) Yeah... That kind of surprises come with the thrill of the chance to get stoned to death ...let's see :)

Haha, sorry, it's a shame there are so few solid trash and stupid-deth metal xmassongs....

 

Uhhhhhhhh.... man ... you make me think.... Hohoho

 

Just wait for next year...

 

And some Jackson 5... after half an hour in RR I can score 94%.  I'll wok on this one this week.

... but we have excellent Punk and we have Metal, too...

 

lets get that party started..

better

I have to attempt a Steve Vai track...

 

oh deer (get it? I'm so damn funny)


There is also this Xmas track I'm fond of

 

Got the 100% on MC advanced bass

http://i.imgur.com/DOR7G9t.jpgTook more tries than I'd have liked (including a few restarts). Silly open notes making things hard to read.

 

As per @@2groggy, that was actually advanced. Oops. Well, in my opinion, it's harder.

 

I actually did play MC though, and also 100%ed it. Not a SA, so I'll need to update that.

As for Christmas songs, here's one that I'm pretty confident no one else will know of. In what I'm sure will be a shock to many, it's long and it's metal.

 

And given that I posted a version of it this morning, here's Christmas in LA by Vulfpeck.

Edited December 20, 20159 yr by albatross213

@@albatross213, I think that that is the advanced class bass tune, not master class.

Love vulfpeck's Christmas song, feel well and truly Christmassy now! :)

yeah i think that both are (easier) advanced basslines - 7

 

should serve the adv group well, and should be a propper 100battletrack at MC

 

i just had to add the Jackson track

fat line, fat song

 

http://i67.tinypic.com/wat443.jpg

come on, comeon comeon ! :)

 

http://i63.tinypic.com/23w780m.jpg

 

After competitive playing - no, not easier adv tracks, true adv tracks both 7.5

too much hot red wine added to that performance

yeah... one try on lennon tells me last year was not useless
