All three paths are quite simple.

Very calm.

Barre chord exercise.

Slow and easy. It has it's moment though.

Whole song is great Advanced lead example. Every section puts you on your toes, but not even solo makes you tremble. Learnable for Advanced guitarists. Eric Clapton always good.

Yay for John Lennon.

Keith Richards with pick on bass!

Quite easy, then solo happens. And it kicks ass.

A 'lil bit too fast for Beginners. 4.

Fun bass line and tricky as well.

It's been a while since I had such an easy and fun song selection session. Random Number Generator was easy on me this time :lol:

Oh, man, why'd my song get picked *this* week? Hopefully I put in a bit of practice before my show.

First goes:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKa2JGZmVkMUxycFk/view?usp=sharing (I have played it before)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKczRJVTRIV1VaMTA/view?usp=sharing

 

I fail to see why this last one is only a six when last week's advanced was a seven?  It did seem to have a bit more variation and was (I think) a little quicker towards the end?  I have only played it once though...

FreeBird is all fun and games until some neck loses its head ;)

 

Horrific evidence to follow...

First tries

And now it's time to sleep... Tomorrow I'll practice some more... :D

only one screenie tonight mainly because i have tried to play the Shins song before but gave up because of the 2 chords that my fingers won't reach......and all the other notes that my brain can't remember

 

can play the bass though,

 

gonna be a tough week on Lead & Rhythm  :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Glad one of my picks made it this week, good song for rhythm beginners. Also very good to win intermediate rhythm

Good night!!!

Cool song by a band I barely have heard of before. I rate the diff. 8http://i1175.photobucket.com/albums/r632/Amund_Filseth/20160604230645_1_zpsa0s23kly.jpg

http://i63.tinypic.com/15x5wmr.jpg

that's a hard blues lesson this week

http://up.picr.de/25783476zw.jpg

I'd rate it with a strong 7

 

and MC Lead. That solo needs some more attention

http://up.picr.de/25783790tz.jpg

but I dislike the voice, had heard too much of this stuff in the 80s

the song is 5 but the solo 9-10, so I'd also rate it 8

I decided to christen my new bass (built entirely from spare parts from previous projects) with a couple of 100% scores

 

For a Fool - I've played this waaay more than seven times.  I was logged in to a new RS account that I use with different settings

 

Stand Too Close - this was a sight read

Just lead things.

The only song I know this week, and only on the fringe of my memory. I like the Shins, but I prefer Caring is Creepy - haven't touched this tune in years.

 

http://i.imgur.com/LfXl1Gl.jpg

 

MC this week is a lot like Sabaton last week, only there's a lot less chugging to beef up your percentage with.

 

Not big on this song either -  I love tons of bands influenced by Helloween, but I just don't groove much on Helloween itself, or at least not the songs I've heard.

Easily my favourite tune of the week. So evocative. Can't play it worth a damn, though!
