Update Lead

Not sure I'll be playing this again... 98.92%on ADM

L

I don't normally intrude on the MC bass club house, but that's where I'm going to hang this week.  After 4 or 5 passes in RR, I'm up to 90%.

 

I can't seem to get the 5-8-7 slides to register very often, and the whole thing is a little too fast for me.  That just leaves more room for improvement.

Well this will need a lot of work! Solo & arpeggio bit at the end are killing me.

I'll jump in on intermediate!

 

Edit: Got my 100% :)

how to screenshot on windows 7

 

need to improve on last weeks dismal efforts.

 

hella good:

Me too! Downloading cdlc as we speak so some scores incoming in the medium of viele unerwünschte bildschirmfoto... My GCSE German is so out of date I had to look up screenshot because they didn't exist when I was at school :(

 

 

In Uk you can choose to learn german at school???

 

And DoN screenies werden immer highly erwünscht sein ;)

Of course we can learn German @@Rodman, how else can we remind German folk of us winning the world cup? :) I was pretty good speaker of German but sadly my awesome German teacher left after a pupil stalked him (no it wasn't me!) :)

another try, and I'm pretty sure that at some places it's out of sync, at least the last chorus. I'm always getting random misses there.

This is the best so far I can get out of it

http://up.picr.de/24869234io.jpg

I made some free space and thought "Why not play XCOM?". Installed. SLI not working. nVidia Inspector not working. Uninstall drivers. Install Drivers. Shit happening B) Well, maybe not poop itself, but it's not working 100% right. Highly frustrated. Ehh...

 

edit: SLI working! And re-installing display drivers were unnecessary. Ass.

No score last week because I was in holidays without guitar at Sevilla (very beautiful town, and the paradize of Flameco's guitarists!).

 

I like very much the beginner song of this week, and I would like it much more if I can reach 99%  :)

 

No Doubt : http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/313370413674731356/DDB23051C466B8F1B5CC9C8754C7E3F296696CAD/

 

 

Is it just me, or is the chorus for Austrian Death Machine undercharted?

 

It says you're supposed to alt pick D and G strings between the melodic licks. But what I'm pretty sure I'm hearing in the song is power chord chugs where it's telling me to just play the D string.

 

Like this:

Lots of uncharted muting throughout the song as well.

Both these song are growing on me.

@@Gamut, the chorus chart seems ok to me, always single notes there, but about the missing pms I agree. The biggest flaw is the sloppy sync at the later chorus and of course the huge sections.

Hi everyone,

 

such an honor to have one of my customs picked :)

If there is anything I can improve about it, please tell me!

 

Here are my scores for Farin Urlaub - OK:

Lead - 94.65 %

Rhythm - 96.50 %

Bass -  99.73 %

 

I must say that I cannot agree with the difficulty 5 on Lead... the solo is too hard for an intermediate song, in my oppinion.

well i managed another few plays and managed to get a few % on them, so this is my final beginner class scores fro the week ,i just wish i had more time as i know i could do better 

 

looking forward to next week

 

cheers

hmmm i have just looked at the song list for this week and it seems i have been concentrating on the wrong bloody Bass song !!!

 

sorry my mistake,,,,,,, heres the Ok_Farin Bass Score......

 

First goes:

And I was upset with this:

Not the score, I was happy with the score, I was just upset that I'd be losing 0.8%, so I had to give it another go:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKOFQ3Y3B3MGJoV1U/view?usp=sharing

I didn't do much better but at least I got my 0.8%.

 

And I didn't have a clue what I was playing to some parts of this:

Here are my scores for Farin Urlaub - OK:

Lead - 94.65 %

Rhythm - 96.50 %

Bass -  99.73 %

I must say that I cannot agree with the difficulty 5 on Lead... the solo is too hard for an intermediate song, in my oppinion.

 

... to add to my own statement about the difficulty this week: I also feel like "Feel Good" Lead is much easier than "OK":

Advanced Lead - 97.59 %

 

This is my score after 9 tries and starting practicing after my last post 1h ago (I think I could go further, but the slides are killing my streaks...). So I would suggest:

• "Feel Good" Lead - 5
• "OK" Lead - 7

... with this I will stop rambling about the difficulty and go to sleep instead :D

good night klaw

@@Gamut, the chorus chart seems ok to me, always single notes there, but about the missing pms I agree. The biggest flaw is the sloppy sync at the later chorus and of course the huge sections.

 

Upon listening harder, yeah, maybe no chords. Well... it sounds extra heavy when you play it that way! :D

 

No improvement on ADM, but...

Apparently my first play was on the Rhythm of this, whoops. Well, here's a lead score. Messing up a couple of the shifts, but once I get those, I can absolutely ace this.

http://i.imgur.com/7296u0h.jpg

 

Was tired of tying myself on ADM, so I... practised the riffs, wow!! :o

 

Someone walked in on me at the end of this play and I missed the screenshot. Oh well, I should do a run on SA anyway.

Really shitty result. I think the not so long time ago since I picked the guitar for the 1st time  is showing in these kind of songs that speed is crucial. Which is something you gain through time playing. Hopefully at the end of the week it will be better. :D :)

 

I thought I needed to give Vodka some motivation to practice just a tiny bit more.  Just 0.01 ahead,k but still short of the top spot   :) 

 

Beginner lead  - 98.01%

 

rhythm? i'z got no rhythm!  :blink:

 

ok:

feel good:

Apologies for the spam.  I'd given up for the evening, but it was annoying me so much I had to have one last play through before going to bed.

 

Small improvement  :)
