let's get started now

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

I had no idea what this song was when it was chosen, and then it suddenly dawned on me...

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKclBFb1lpcENGblE/view?usp=sharing

 

Anyway, definitely a 2.5 in my book, although I was suffering from note recognition issues (honestly).

 

I thought this was easier than Centerfold, until I got to the middle bit:

And this wasn't too bad at all:

Apart from when the scroll speed went mental - I didn't like that bit.  Does the song actually get faster, or is it just the scroll speed throwing me off?

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=618822474 Scroll speed definitely needs tweaking. I like a fast scroll speed but that was like a sneaky fart with unexpected eruption...  :unsure:

I'll check the scroll speed for bass, for guitar it's fine I think, but I'll check those too.

here my first MC score this year :D

http://up.picr.de/24522526te.jpg

played it 3 times in a row after ages, and getting better every run, but I also stop here to keep it thrilling  :grinning:  

Ladies, I'm fine with the sroll speed, 1.2 is fast, but morer than 160 bpm is also fast and needs a high scroll speed for a better readability. If you like I can set up 1.3 for bass, but I didn't check the guitar, need to tune down first.

here a score with a high scroll speed

http://up.picr.de/24523075xs.jpg

 

I can reduce the scroll speed, but not the song speed :P

A slightly lower scroll speed would be nice, but only where it speeds up - it's fine at the beginning of the song.

 

And only if it's not too much work. :)

@@then3verend you still 3 need more streak for the lead  :lol:

@@missis sumner I can only set the scroll speed for the whole song at every arrangement. But the song speed stays constant, there are just less notes in those parts.

First entrance, int lead.

@ 2, i had the higher score

But i was aware at the time, thank u tho

An update on beginner lead.  I don't think there's much more in it for me to be honest.

 

Beginner Lead - 96.14%

 

 

And a first score on beginner Rhythm.  I had to work really hard to give @@Vodka some competition.

 

Beginner Rhythm - 99.33%

 

 

Next up is to work in the Intermediate lead.  I've been putting it off to be honest after that initial 56%, but it has to be done  :(

Man, @@Brutus Erectus is in MC too now? That dude rips. When I graduate Adv, I'm never going to win anything again!  :D

 

I got to 88 on Hey Kids, but I'm too lazy to post the screenshot. I kind of wanted to hold off until I could pass 90, but I keep tying myself. It's getting apparent that if I want to break 90 I'm going to have to go figure out that tapping bit already...

My first go at this week's beginner bass:

So many good scores already, great to see!

:D

 

 

Lets go the stony way

Sad news today: my les Paul was propped up on the wall, something made it fall over. And the headstock snapped right off...

R.I.p my guitar :___(

Omg

There are hundreds of guides online on how to fix broken headstocks.  Give it a try before you retire the guitar.

Update: Clutch Lead - 94%

 

I'm going 1 by 1 :)

I hope it's repairable.

Not sure if it's repairable/worth the repair, it's a cheap guitar, I'll be getting a quote and seeing but...

I might just use that as an excuse to get a new one

I might just use that as an excuse to get a new one

And a stand!

I was really annoyed with this tonight, because I forgot to play in SA:

And then after a dismal score in SA, I had a little rest and then another go:

It's not too difficult this.  Fast, but not complex. :)
