This weeks songs are:

"... Rods XMAS Special ..."

 

... i´m quite a xmas-head; there are quite a lot of xmas songs in the database by now.... and last week i have played them all :) to come up with a decent mix to rock us through the coming days ...

 

Lead Path:

Beginner: Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody (3) chosen by @Dasher

Intermediate: Relient K - We wish you a Merry Christmas (6) chosen by @Vixen

Advanced: Spinal Tap - Christmas with the Devil (7) chosen by @Prancer

Beginner: Relient K - We wish you a Merry Christmas (3)

Intermediate: Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody (5)

Advanced: Spinal Tap - Christmas with the Devil (6)

Masterclass: N/A

 

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 ...

 

Beginner: WHAM! - Last Christmas (3) chosen by @Cupid

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

Just got back from Mexico, haven't slept in over 24 hours (stupid timezones made me miss the night). But i had not touched a guitar for over 2 weeks so i had to play a little before i take a nap.

Can't play score attack as good as I would like to. Always misses when I move between frets =( Guess I'm too slow =(

http://snap.ashampoo.com/uploads/2015-12-22/Mb44EXAy.png

MasterClass Lead - 64%, 23 streak

Yay, random notes on random places of the fretboard!

 

Advanced Lead - 87%, 41 streak

That's the first Spinal Tap song I played, and surprisingly it was not fun  :huh: 

 

Intermediate Lead - 83%, 95 streak

Well, it's not Underwear.

 

That was just sooo weird. No surprise that I like Easter way more :)

Well, it is ultra close at the top of the bottom  :).

 

I switched guitars to the strat with 10's on instead of the Brian May with 9's on to see if I could get better note recognition.

 

It gave me a little, but not enough to beat @@franfit , only to draw, but with a better streak.  Hopefully that's enough to take me back to the top by the tiniest fraction.  Sorry @@franfit, although I'm pretty certain you've got more in you yet  :)

 

Beginner Lead - 93.29% - 148 Streak

Intermediate Rhythm - 95.09%

 

I won't be posting any scores this week. I'm not a christmas like person. I'll still be practicing, but taking a week off from posting scores.

Dont know why i never posted a score on this one last year.  But i had 93% accuracy then, so its a 4% increase.

The into and outro on this one is kinda fast and tricky.

Here's a re-gifted Wham video for the Freebird Police.

 

Merry Christmas to You and Yours.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring...

 

...except for me finally getting time to play the lead to Reliant K :)
