HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

I feel nauseous and have a headache, but my fingers are on FIRE.

I haven't touched this week yet and @ and @@MaZtoR are already at 20+ plays? Uh oh, I'm gonna have to haul ass!

20 plays is just 32 minutes.  Its a short song.  :D

I keep forgetting to post updates this week, so here's a look at how the lead paths are coming along.

 

Skunk Anansie - made a bit of a hash of the solo on this run, but other than that it's fine.

Charlie Christian - several interesting things about this song make it difficult for me to get it sounding just right. Apart from the fact that it's quite fast, the swing rhythm is tricky to nail and the lack of any gain in the tone punishes any sloppiness in my picking technique.

There's two sections I'm still struggling with improving from 90 to 100% speed.

Rubbish score below because I realised I didn't have a screenshot already so I just ran through it once quickly.

Pearl Jam - spending a lot of time with this one, I have everything except the main solo fairly well sorted.

@@Gamut I had a lot restarts, so may be it was more 100 plays.  I`m lazy for RR :)

Alright, alright! I haven't listened to jazz much lately, but back when I was learning how to drum it was under a jazz teacher who incorporated it a lot into his style. Solid tune. 

 

It's tricky but after like two seconds in Riff Repeater I can see how you do it. Just need to get my fingers to listen to my brain now. :P

@@MaZtoR Great scores,  i can`t beat this. Btw  you must to play it in SC, else will get new shameful trophy instead winner :D  

My tribute to Glenn Lewis:

Sirandok updated Even Flow and as he mentions, it's good to talk with charters and give them feedback. They're in most cases good people, who, just like us, loves music and wants their customs to be the best :)

Very nice improvement on bass.  Is it because you've been practicing bass though, or playing guitar? :)

Dug out an old favourite ODLC http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=615371566 this is my second play of it for over a year so I'm pretty pleased that I improved my score by 100k

 

Freebirding my arse off :)

97.21% getting there :)

Not a fan of the song chosen for bass this week, so I'll likely focus on guitar.

Some improvement on both the rhythm tracks.

 

Beginner rhythm - 88.9%

 

 

Intermediate Rhythm - 81.03%

 

I got my standard Wednesday uptick... Endicott is at 97% - half way to my target of 99%

 

And just to do something tasteless and self destructive, i tried Endicott on the ukelele bass.  Having to adjust to the rubber strings and change in scale made for a predictably terrible score.  Note that I played SA on easy to avoid the dreaded XXX.

 

I hope that the Uke-bass attempt doesn't mess me up going back to a normal bass.

Improvement on Endicott (99.01): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=615493035

 

Not bad in Master (97.52): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=615493058

 

Haven't improved Seven Come Eleven. :(

As much as I like long music, learning short music is great for the Championship. Five minutes in Riff Repeater gives you a noticeable score increase, and a whole week to only learn a minute and a half of music makes for good competition.

 

I'm at 93.5 so far, each play I get a little higher!

I think both. I've got better all-around, thus improvement. Though if I had played more bass, I would score better, as it's not that complicated as I remembered :lol:

Well,

I can't get a good result on the other songs =(

I can't even get 100% on Depeche Mode. Every time one of notes get unrecognized. Every time! 

And Deep Purple is not such easy at all =(

http://s9.postimg.org/d23n1lkgv/pearl_jam_even_flow_lead.png

 

finally starting to 'get' this song, there's still plenty of room for improvement but it feels doable !

@@Vodka Continue fight! You can to get 100% And post your "bad" scores, after a few months practice may be it will be "da capo" (or you take yet attempts) and you sight your progress.

argh, this should´ve been a 90

@@Vodka for the Depeche Mode song, I was struggling with the slides from the 4th fret to the 2nd fret on the purple e string.  Is that what you are having issues with too?  It took me a long time to get through that section, and I might be wrong, but I thought the recognition in learn a song was better than in score attack.  Try it in learn a song and see if you can get 100%.

 

I think 99.03% is just 2 notes off!

 

It is a strange week really.  with the exception of those slides, the beginner song is really easy, and the like you I find the Deep Purple song hard.  Both guitar intermediate songs are way beyond me this week too.

 

As @ said though the only thing you can do is fight it.  If you are struggling with the same slides as I was, let me know, I'll have to go play it again, but I found a couple of things and timings that seemed to help.
