let's get started now

Easy week for all

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

... looks like its 96 day :)

ok i have got the right song now.

this screen shot may look bad but i have made great progress once i realised what was happening.

unfortunately my fingers would not do what my brain wanted them to do which pissed me off a little bit.

 

after a little rest i had a couple of runs on the blue notes just to let out a bit of frustration........

 

going to order some new strings now     :angry:

So progress-wise where am I tonight?

 

Firstly, it was me that scored 1 382 771, on The Blue Hearts, not @@Psymanski, and yes, I am being that competitive (it comes with almost being able to play bass after 2.5 years…) plus I don't want to have to attempt another 100%, but Psymanski will now probably beat me into the ground score-wise :D.

 

Then I have tried this again:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKVVFZNlFLcW9waDQ/view?usp=sharing

and I did adequately well ;), so I'm wondering whether I should even be competing in Advanced (and arguing about scores in advanced) or just move on this week?  (Yes, I realise this is an easy MC song…)

 

Anyway, I did this as well:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKSm9rME1VbXlpbEE/view?usp=sharing

shortly followed by this:

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

because I realised what I'd done again.

 

And then this, because I fancied another go:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKc3h3X2JNRGVnT0E/view?usp=sharing

 

(Clapton is the hardest of this week's "intermediate bass" songs. ;))

P.S. do I get a MC point for last week, or what?

Thanks @@missis sumner for pointing that out :) It was sorting issue, some code that got deprecated (maybe bad word). I fixed that, made it up to date (still, big thanks to @@Joey, doing it first and then @@TrbInTrbIn for making it pretty). Should work well now :)

Happy B-day @@MaZtoR

 

I haven't done much work yet this week

 

I'm Tore Down on bass = 97%

 

Postcard on bass = 94%

Getting there! I'm tore down 99.34: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/510405794957828016/0AADF1F2B5E037421B9867929BA3EAF057D65832/

 

The only way I could do this was to figure out the pattern and change the numbering. A lot of those open strings throw me off.

 

L

obviously not enough time for nothing...

 

@ thx for the tipp - LindaLindaLinda is gonna be shown at my next 10inaRow movie session - really looking forward to that.

 

@@Mortalo - you once mentioned a really great and really really sad movie - i think it must have been an anime - do you remember what that one was called? thx for fixing lb sorting.

 

@@Idlev - impressive!!!!! cool that you are here - kick that mastergods arses hard!

 

@@NoonyDeloony - c´´mon Delooniest of ´em all - at least post a pic of that artpiece of yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thx

HAVE A GREAT WEEK

... comes easy with that worldclass songselection ...

@@Rodman but you need to watch with original japanese dub and subtitles

Calm: My Neighbor Totoro

Comedy: Castle of Cagliostro

Crazy: Spirited Away

Fucked Up: Princess Mononoke

Sad since 1st second to last second: Grave of the Fireflies

:D

 

Always original language w subs.

BIG THX!!!!!! The only one of those known to me is Princess Mononoke - yup - pretty fucked up.

@@Rodman If you want really great, but very sad movie, watch Japanese dorama, based on real facts (diary) about short life one girl. "1 Litre of Tears"

Thanks for the movie recommendation. I enjoyed it :)

@@Psymanski Nice :) If you like jazz, then i recommended similar and too the very good movie (too Japanese school and girls) "Swing girls".

 

P.s. For fun yet good comedy 8really funny) about punk group, "Rockers" 2003, Japan. There one fragment of movie.

Another increase.

Dragonforce are to fast for Rocksmith.   I felt lazy so i just strummed at half speed in the fast parts, but Rocksmith did not care.  Feels like cheating.  So don't put this score to the leaderboard.

well i couldn't leave the Green day score @22% so i made a bit of an improvement, its just the first bit that buggers me up the rest is fine....

 

update on the Blue Hearts Rhythm after a good Epiphany thrashing another slight improvement.........

 

 

i hope i am doing the right songs as i can't see myself on the latest score board ( i was moved up to Intermediate in Bass, Lead, and Rhythm last week)..........but still showing in beginner Lead

 

more to come this week, getting used to the songs now.... even had a little play of Blue Hearts bass    :rolleyes:

 

Job kicking my ass, but here is something.

http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/275092893588306682/B13BFC379F531B693C8192B005BC02AFD52C239C/

one time is enough

only shredding notes with some powerchords, not mine

http://up.picr.de/25202131xs.jpg

I noticed some wrong repetive powerchords in the bridges (G#5 instead F5), also in the middle solo where it slows down a bit (G#5 instead G5), not one palm muted note in the whole song (all shredded notes are pm) and often a missing rhythm (only sustained chords here) and any other small things which'd make it more interesting and harder.
