@@Rodman - Cheers on your B-day.  Raise a BEvERage.

 

I've got Come on Eileen on bass up to 99%.  The misses were all in the fast part at the end so I still have room for improvement.

Thx for all the bd wishes - i followed your recomendations to have quite some drinks ... and after the n-th glass of

No it has to do somethg with that japanese single malt up there ...

(I needa take a pic but cant leave my guests alone or i get killed by the princess...)

unbelievable

I have installed new guitar head machine Gotoh with H.A.P.M. on my Gibson LPJ, guitar stay in tune now, old GHM was crap, always lost tune, after bends. The guitar look more good with new colour head machine. I will do photos of guitar late.

and tested new strings, so updated score:

Upd.@@Rodman nice look of guitar, again with girls :)

Nice score @@MaZtoR. I need more luck for tapping part, not matter how good chords, all depend of tapping. :)

Getting better, but there's still some errors. 

Not best, but recorded try:

This is one of those songs that even someone with 5 thumbs (like me) can feel like a rock god playing :)   At least if I don't compare myself to anyone in the next classes up.

 

Fun to play and puts a smile on my face.  That's all that matters.

 

Just a few misses.

 

Beg lead - 98.63$

This is a fairly easy MC song though, no?  I don't think I'm quite ready for a move yet...

Not so much have happened in master class the last couple of days. Decided to take a step down to advanced:

Just me and two others have had a go with the God of Guitar. Common people! The sloppy result of 88% is very beatable. I almost feel like I don't really deserve to win. I might practice and aim for the 90's (percent wise), but it would be more fun to have an others score to chase.

No money for strings this week, so no scores. Will hopefully return soon.

I can't get through the first section in SA without 3 strikes, but managed a small + in LAS.

My great guitar :) on shit photo by smartphone.

New head machine, and replaced (early) pickups to EMG 81+89

In bottom original. my guitar look more solid and modern for me.

Looks like 2 different guitars, or at least a standard and a premium series :)

 

Real great job!

Well,

I beat myself. But as always when trying to repeat it again, I'm failing.
