let's get started now

 

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

I'm surprised that you're (Beginners) are finding it difficult. It's not complex, a little bit fast, but nowhere near Hanging on the Telephone.

 

http://i.imgur.com/LUbftdQ.jpg?1

Now it's easier. Well done!

So i tried the new Skunkan (1.3) several times. Got the best i got was 0.1% below my last entry from 1.2.  I really have a problem with the change from F⁵ to http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/chord_zpszbz0vfxb.jpg

 

 

But at lest i made a small improvement on the rhythm side of things.

But damn its annoying to play this in SA. All those random misses really gets in your face.

Today I finally made first tries on Rhythms:

@@MaZtoR the E/C#  :)  just like all powerchords before but the note that was the 5 before which was done by the 3rd finger is one fret above now. For that you need to interchange your 3rd and 4th finger that you can do that note with your pinky.... it's a bit more than only powerchords now  :P  

not for long, @@then3verend

Just one note from 100%! http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r632/Amund_Filseth/2016-03-08_00003_zpsnutbwa75.jpg

Just one note from 100%! 

 

Meh.

I've got a feeling this is heading towards master difficulty.

first run on MC rhythm... and many of the A notes which are charted on E string 5th fret should be as open A string and it would be much easier (I play them open but if watching the screen I'm often irritated by it). Also like albatross mentioned at some spots slides would make more sense than hammer ons.

*Puts on the Jaws theme*


Which path am I going to post a score on next...?


Hmmmmm

Nice one to start the day. :) 
 

I was shaking towards the end of this, because I knew what was coming right at the very end.  And it was the first time I'd played the whole song without a single mistake, and I knew I hadn't managed to hit that chord even once...

But what a nasty place to put a chord! :D

Update

New version :)

Here's my best so far

 

Although its not what I usually play I'm enjoying the song :)

Blink 182 - from my least favourite blink album, but this isn't a bad song.

Wings - clearly McCartney writes great songs, but literally every cover of a Wings song I've ever heard sounds better than the original. It'd be awesome if someone would make a custom of the foo fighters version of this one.

Scandal - another new Japanese band for me, enjoying this one

Megadeth - no screens yet, still working through all the paths, but I've been listening to Countdown to Extinction a lot recently - it really is a great album.

Was surprised to find myself familiar with this song and completely unable to place it - couldn't at all remember where I've heard it before. Turns out they used it for the ending theme of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, an anime I watched before I had ever touched a guitar. And here I am playing it now! 

 

Really fun tune. The only part I didn't get the hang of right away is those high E notes snuck into the power chords, but I think it might be in my power to ace this.

 

Video for Blink in the works!

Hi all.

 

Here is my cover of our Lead Guitar song from last week. Ghost Monstrance Clock.

 

Feel free to check it out.

 

Cheers.

 

This was interesting... Scandal 98.84%

MC rhythm:

http://i.imgur.com/FhCFzPR.jpgStill some room for improvement, but I doubt I can do much better than 98.5% because of the chord slides.

 

MC lead:

http://i.imgur.com/c0NmNvz.jpg

Not as good a run on the rhythm stuff as my rhythm run, and I kind of suck at the solo. It's not ridiculously hard, but just not stuff that I'm very good at.

well I have sorted the bass on Blink and made a bit of an improvement on the lead and rhythm by adding the D (blue) string on the 2 string power chord bits.....so now I use the A,D&G strings. It's a bit strange but it works for me

Saw Testament and Slayer last night, great show. Very special too, had front row, got picks from Alex(2nd pick from him) and Gary, threw them right at me.

 

Tom also did the angel of death scream perfecy

Updates for Wings and Scandal lead

Definitely a challenging intermediate song.

Still some work to do on both, but focusing on Megadeth for the next while.
