Had no time this week to play.

 

Just managed a quick bass run. Lead this week is quite difficult I would need longer to practice.

I'm a bit less shit at this now but not sure I'll have enough time to improve... it'll do but by no means a winning post.

well after getting 99.66% 5 bloody times i managed to get 99.77% 3 times then i finally managed to get this.........

 

 

i did the hard bits but missed a bloody note on the easy bit as i got all excited like a small child as I did the bit i can't usually do....

 

on to lead and had a little improvement......

 

 

then just as the beer started to kick in i gave the brilliant green a little go.........

 

 

 

i am still playing but Guinness has little improving effects on guitar playing i have noticed, so this may be my besets scores for this week.

Great songs this week!

Did you think I wouldn't play the Adv? You can't just have a Nameless Ghoul as an avatar and not play the Ghost song! It simply isn't done. Not like I'd miss out on any excuse to play Spirit. This play wasn't my best, but I sounded pretty great most of the time, anyway!

 

My favourite thing about this song is the climactic wall of sound chords that play after the chorus. :wub:  So simple, so powerful!!

 

I hope I wake up in the morning like a normal person so I can take another crack at this setlist. Two days is not enough for such a good selection.

I've tried pretty hard to catch you @@n0pers but keep choking in the last half of the song. This is it for me.

Arghh!  I'm getting very frustrated with Superstition:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKVFJ0MjVCSVk3bmM/view?usp=sharing

 

So I thought I'd give this a little go:

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKcWMyOFZZbll0U2c/view?usp=sharing

 

I'd have given it a go earlier in the week, if it wasn't for the tuning.  It's a bit late to practice it now.  Oh, well, on to next week! :)

can't play Superstition any more for my own sanity......I got 99.88% 3 times..... one bloody missed note !!!...

 

plus little legs has come around so we are going to feed the ducks in the park  :wub:

 

i did get a little improvement on the bass through 

 

 

i hope this week is as good a choice 

@ it depends on your taste :P

 

Song Selection List was mentioned so let's talk about it's rules:

1. Each participant (current or former) can select up to 4 songs.

2. Each songs needs at least one guitar path (either lead or rhythm) and bass path.

2a. There might be an exception when there is no audible guitars or bass - so guitarist/bassist does not miss on anything.

3. Each song needs Riff Repeater sections (that is a must) and should be of at least good quality.

4. We highly apreciate when you add difficulty rating for your song (mostly lead path). If there is no rating for lead path, song won't be taken under consideration for upcoming week.

4a. Organizer can guess a difficulty of a song, but if guessed wrongly it adds more time to selecting songs, and time is precious. (Not to say that it is irritating)

5. Everyone is welcome to check songs in SSL and add your own opinion on it's difficulty or other issues.

6. It should be understood that lower the tuning lower the chances for the song to be selected.

6a. Lowest tuning for Beginners is D standard.

6b. You should not go lower then C on guitar (with E drop A a weird exception) or B on bass.

 

So how selecting itself works?

1. Organizer sorts the table by lead column (bass from time to time, to select proper MC bass week).

1a. If song has no lead but rhythm, rhythm rating is written into lead column for selecting purpose.

2. One song is selected using Random Number Generator (random.org) for each class (by participants name, so more songs in one lead class does not give you more chances for your song to be selected as they count as one, and later one of them is selected)

2a. There shouldn't be downtuning in class two times in a row, so if needed, new song is selected until it is in E (or different not too low tuning).

2b. If there is a lack of rhythm paths in a week selections, there might be additional changes (most times it's better to use rhythm song used in previous weeks to save sanity).

3. All songs in all arrangements has to be tested for issues and difficulty (some like to downgrade difficult songs).

3a. If there is any problem that disqualifies a song, Organizer needs to comeback to point 2, and select new song for that class.

3b. Issues are mostly RR sections and sync (as those are the ones I can easily spot, some Organizers are better at this and can tell if song is badly charted).

4. If Organizer gets to point 4 he should be extremely happy as selecting songs is over.

 

Like always beginner songs are highly apreciated.

@ I feel you. When I tried The Shins - For a Fool for 100%, every time I went flawlessly for about 70% of the song my hart would start pounding and I'd always mess up, even on parts that were not too difficult, so in the end I gave it up.

I've had 3 days of no improvement on Superstition on bass.  There always seemed to be between 5 and 7 semi-random misses on the hammer-ons.  I agree with someone's post from a few pages back that it seems that you need to play a little earlier than the groove, in places.

 

Finally, as a last resort, I switched from my "alternate tunings" bass to my short scale travel bass, and cut the number of misses in half.  So I met my goal - 99.72%.

i improved my score a little bit https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhISXVjNDFNRm5aNHM/view?usp=sharing

Love the songs selection. Had a problem with recognition of some notes in Superstition, otherwise it would be a 100%.
