That week was an insane improvement for my bending skills and for securely hitting the right frets on d and g string.

Yeah.

 

P.s. i hope the updated ver ain´t a lot easier...

I haven't had a chance to try again yet.  I'll give it one last go now maybe.

@@Vodka - I did it too  :) I'm a tiny bit behind you on the score, but I'm not going to chase that down.  I'm just happy with the 100%

 

Beginner Rhythm - 100%

 

Hi, this is it for this week

Getting there on MC lead, should be able to get a little more improvement tomorrow.

Int Lead

@@Alex360 thanks for new tab, awesome work ! One small thing I noticed, the part just before the verse is tabbed all on the G string the first time: 0-17-15, but later in the song it changes to 17d-17g-15g. I suspect it's left over from the last version and was never changed. Makes no difference really, just thought I'd let you know.

An update on beginner lead.  Probably my last update

 

Beginner Lead - 97.65%

 

Last update for the week on Int Lead too.  Not competitive, but at least not embarrassing any more  :)

 

Int Lead - 84%

 

Thanks for the new version @@Alex360.

 

Although i'm now hot on the tails of @@Rodman & @Nuno, they should be able to pull another few % with the new version.

I know it sounds better to me than open G, I played it along and also discovered that  Tim plays it like this live, but glad that this not a big deal to you :D

 

 

PS.

@ helped me a lot with it, Thank you, man, I really'd like to coop with some charting group :P

@ - I noticed you moved up on the leaderboards on Walk This Way. So I played it some more.

But that wasn't my best score:

:D

 

Also finally some noticeable improvement on MC lead:

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

I still think I should be able to hit 95% or so, but I keep messing something up. Also, somehow I often get purple sections on the tapping despite the fact that I can usually get through both sections with at most 2-5 misses on lead and obviously could do it pretty well on the bass. Kind of weird.

@@diddie17 that is awesome! We are fighting and winning! 
But. I want to speak clear. Even with 100% my play is very dirty. 
I think I don't deserve this 100% and this 2kk points. 
I played dirty, didn't comply some pauses and didn't use the palm mutes.
So I think you should be higher on the leader board.

Damn you @@Rodman! I've got nothing left. I can no longer feel the tips of my fingers. Well played sir.

@@Vodka you are assuming my play was better than yours.  I thought it sounded reasonable and I tried to do the pauses and to get the mutes in where possible, but I will have missed lots.  It sounded ok, the rhythm of the playing was sort of there, but I bet it wasn't any better than yours.

 

I think the best way to put it would I would be happy playing it like that for my family to listen, because the general rhythm was there, it sounded ok, but I would never have played it like that for someone outside of family. 

This was one of those Fridays where my sleep wasn't great, so my final push wasn't great either. Could only tie myself a lot on Hey Kids. :(

 

Got a couple more percents in this, anyway:

Love me like you do ;)

 

Well played too, sire!

 

I feared the new ver would be a lot easier to register and i would be smoked.

Cannot be happier with the progress this week, even my pinkie has learned to bend...

 

Cool thing.

finally... back home and "connected" again at a workable bitrate

@@Vodka Just thinking about it, I didn't play the mutes as palm mutes.  I don't know what the term is, but I played them as left hand mutes.  I was in position to play the chord, but wasn't pressing down to actually fret the strings, just resting on them and muting them instead, and so got the mute that way.  I might be wrong, but I thought that's how that one was supposed to be played, rather than the palm mutes.

 

Having said that, I still won't have got them all  :)

Psymanski should have had 10 points last week, Rodders - he won, I came second. :)

@@albatross213, yep, I moved up on LB, but only scorewise. This run was under 99%. Now we've got the same accuracy AND the same streak, but your score is higher. I hope I'll find some time this afternoon to play a few more times to fight for the lead :)

Psymanski should have had 10 points last week, Rodders - he won, I came second. :)

The lb says same acc, and your streak being better.

Is there an error?

Could it be any closer ?!
