This is the worst song i have ever heard. It gave me a headache.

I sadly dislike all the song this week.  Might finally get around to playing something from my justinguitar songbook.

Aww, how can you dislike that Dropkick Murphys song? Makes me want Guinness and I hate Guinness

As usual, I'll start stick to the bass, start with the easiest, progress to the hardest and omit the metal.

 

Sixteen Salteens - this one is in my rotation for non-stop play, so I didn't have to learn it from scratch - 100%.  I may try this a few times in master mode later.

it was my choice, but you know my music taste is a little bit special sometimes :)

it's simple but still fun

I don't mind the sudden craving for Guinness (or Jameson's) (or a shot of Jamesons in a pint of Guinness).  It's the "ants go marching" ear worm that I could live without.

Decided to actually try doing MC bass with a pick, and I think it actually helps me this week (even though some of my misses were due to the fact that I'm still a little unsure with one, particularly on bass). Here's my updated score:

http://i.imgur.com/J2WV7BQ.jpg

Took me a little while to figure out a good picking pattern for the "bass solo" riff and also to get picking 16ths for the latter third of the song, but it's definitely easier overall with a pick (which is not something I'd say very often. Definitely not with Blackened last week). So maybe I'd revise my difficulty rating down to an 8.

 

Also had a few dumb errors that I'd say are due to picking (missing 3 or 4 notes in the first verse, and one of the octaves late in the song), but even with those, the improvement on that one riff was worth it.

@ Very well done! But that song ain't that easy :lol:

@@Mortalo, I was surprised when playing about the good note recognition in this run, but also I have no problems with chords, and just keep in mind that I wrote the tab :)

The lyrics in English made for an interesting read.  Does anyone know what language is actually being sung? :P

 

I can't get past half way through at half speed in RR before I break out laughing.

I'm pretty sure most of it is latin. The title is something like "the art of dying", "Ride si sapis" is something like "laugh if you know". Don't know "Ave atque vale" off the top of my head, though I know "vale" is something to do with goodbye.

Just beginner because everything else is really flippin' hard! I reckon I might scrape a score for Mr.Bungle but drop kick I seem to be struggling with and I'm not sure why... haven't downtuned yet for Megadeth but I'll do more tomorrow... I think I've sprained my left wrist too after rebounding my hand and elbow between a door and wall when it slammed back on me when I tried to open it... something sounds crunchy and thumb is a bit achey

 

Beginner... cos stuff's hard :( http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=598157900

Nursing a slight hangover today, so my brain couldn't quite keep up with Megadeth or Mr Bungle :)

Managed to get the other two done though

I was expecting the Dropkicks song to be fun to play, it did not disappoint ! Excellent cdlc and great to play.

did not have much time last. looks like more of the same, but we'll see what happens.

Out of all of the losses to music over the last year, this one hit me the hardest by far.

 

Life on Mars?

And this was not my first go, because my first go was crap:

It looks like it's going to be a hard week.  That is one very fast bass line. :(

 

At least I got to play some Volbeat while I was tuned to D standard… :)

My 13 year old daughter, @@GNat, just got home from school and demanded that we put on some Bowie.  Well trained, I must say.
