Yep, bass songs are in the right order:

My first ever 100%. Bass on this song is fairly easy just 3 or 4 notes.

Struggling to get some of the chords to register on this will have another pop tomorrow.

The lead section does seem fast for beginner I'm struggling to get a decent score.

I guess the chart is not perfect, but neither is my playing... Gonna keep at it and see what I can do...

Bazza:  http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672365935

 

I am blaming cold hands for the dismal performances, just in from work so I'm not in the zone just yet for practice I just wanted to give them a try before I chill out for a bit. Barry White should be 100%able, I did find it easy for an MC song just the cold hands were not helping my fingering technique. I'll spend more time on it later.

 

Prince, I was very shit at that! :( Sorry P-man, peace. 

Bazz MC : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672373324 bit better, getting a groove now :)

Bazz MC Update: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672376987 Yep, pretty certain 100%'ll be doable :)

@@Idlev did you play the old version? If so try the reworked v3

@ Yeah, I'm playing the newest version... Don't get me wrong it sure is way better than the last one, but I seem to have some major difficulties hitting some notes... It might just be me sucking at chords tho...

Now that i have spent some time RRing the beginner song i don't find it that hard anymore, but its still damn fast.

 

@@MaZtoR - Can I borrow your finger please  :)

 

At the moment I can play it somewhere between 85 & 90% speed.  In fact I can do a complete run through at 85% with just a couple of missed notes.  If I try at 90% though I miss huge numbers.  I just can't keep up with the single note part.

 

It is a fun song though, so I just need to suck it up and keep practising.  Hopefully by the end of the week  :)

some bass goalies

this is really easy, but perfects are pure luck

http://up.picr.de/25323605bo.jpg

fun of course

http://up.picr.de/25323607ln.jpg

for me the scroll speed here seems too fast, if I watch the notes where they hit the frets I get a headache

http://up.picr.de/25323618ks.jpg

yes

http://up.picr.de/25323621cx.jpg

the stray cats is the most fun now (and Fishbone of course :D), sounds great and got a good note recognition

recognition looks good, just need any practise in some parts, esp those chord variations

http://up.picr.de/25324355ad.jpg

I have found the perfect song for GoG! Intervals feat. Plini - Libra

I'll be posting my score in MC in a couple of days or as soon its more than a mere 80 -ish percents

Fish&Bone

Try on rhythm.

I having lots of "missing" notes. I dont understand why. Any tip??
May I have to change my strings?? I had the same problem on "Calui Mnie" song last week...


http://i.imgur.com/NsDV1u4.jpg

Here we go! The timing throws me off for some reason, I'll have to work on it ;/ Anyhow, here's my sub so far. 

http://i.imgur.com/1F3zAjr.jpg

I missed a note or two. Bummer. Hopefully I have time to try again this week.

Couldn't do Prince yet either. Will try later this week.

 

L

Everybody is a Star (even me on bass) 100%

but, of course, this is the RD Championship, where everyone is above average

 

I've just downloaded Stray Cat Strut v3 (thanks frippy).  I'll see if that helps or hurts my score and report back.

Stray Cat Strut v3 bass after a couple of passes in RR at 90% speed = 97%

 

It has been totally re tabbed to play up the strings on fretted notes more and use open strings less.  It will take some work to re-learn it, but i don't mind. Just curious though - Which fingering would be better on a fretless instrument?  This was originally recorded on an upright.  I can see where there are fixed notes and there is a whole section at the end that had been omitted - the original charter seems to have left and gone to to the pub instead of finishing the last ten seconds of the song.

 

I always played the song with swing eights and never had any lates or misses.  However I listened to my bass playing more than to the original.

Them chords though

 

 

 

I think this is a tad easy too. Maybe 4-5?

 

@ - seems you where quite in a bassy mood yd - great scores!!!

HAVE A NICE WEEK!

Other scores: 

 

Simple plan is simples: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672715275 ... but,I don't think the synch is quite on, my rhythm is slightly better than "shockingly bad" but I can usually keep a stride of repetitive note singularity and hit at least 1 perfect in a phrase... this however, nope. Not that it matters much to me, not my category or my cup of tea :) ( Disclaimer: my opinion is purely from a personal point of view and not in any way meant to disparage or undermine the integrity, intellect or taste of person or persons who may indeed, like this song/worked on the CDLC or performed with the band. )

 

Fishbone: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672715308  I could have done much better but my #2 son decided to join in :) it's a nice bass line, 4!

 

Stray Cat Strut:  http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672715254  Only played this the once and can't tell if my timing is off as this band is all about the off beats :) fun to play though... I love the singer! He sounds shitfaced :D

better, but still need to clean up some parts

http://up.picr.de/25329141px.jpg

@@covinhas87 can be several reasons.

For example I just couldn't play prev week song without misses at all. And I don't know why.

May be the reason is in my 6th string which can't be tuned precisly on 12th fret. Who knows...

 

Several weeks ago I couldn't play metallica - die die my darling song. You can find the week (116 or near).

Guys advised to use Ernie Ball strings and check every guitar setting - fingerboard, bridge. And I did.

Well. I still can't play Paweł Kukiz i Piersi - Całuj Mnie song. But this week songs seems ok.

 

You can also check volumes - guitar knob and record device in the OS. Try to lift up and down pickup position also.

 

It's in your hands =)
