HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

 

Forgot to turn of "Master mode" when I played it the time before this, but because it says "100% Mastery" it seems like it still on.

@@SmellsLikeMonkey I didn't put Canon Rock on rhythm cause we played it already, but don't worry when there won't be a MC rhythm track you'll get that one ;)

Beg Bass: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735287517 A true beginner track. Love this song :) Breakfast Club <3

 

Inter Bass: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735287695  Very nice tune, actually found one part of it a little tricky and a surprise but a good intermediate track all round :)

 

Adv Bass: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735287585 Have played this a few times before to warm up, I like the slopey strut to this track but I think perhaps a medium-high intermediate more than adv. I'd give it a generous 6. (PS. For a song almost 2000 years old it's stood the test of time ;) .... Alannah Myles est.198  :D ) 

 

MC Bass: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735287637 I like this because I can play it :) nice melody, pretty easy if you're fret familiar (I seem to be getting better) 7.5 I reckon but I am not even sure how to rate MC tracks anymore, they seem to go from, not too bad to ERMAHGERD MA FINGURRRS! :)

MC Update: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735301527

 

Re-grading this to a 7 :)

IT'S ALIVE !! My 25 year old computer is alive.  Every single part, including the case has been replaced at least three times, but it's still my 25 year old computer.  Oh, wait... some of the dust might be original.

 

I've just gotten the system running, so I've only done sight reads on bass on Simple Minds and Soda Stereo.

 

The Simple Minds track is one of those where RS can't tell good from bad.  I scored 99.9 %, but I'm sure that it sounded like crap.  I just didn't have the triplet pattern down and RS can't seem to sense that.  I'll try it with a pick when I get a moment and see if I feel better about the result.

 

For Soda Stereo, I scored 95.6% and can certainly improve that with some work in RR.

Love the song, too bad my fingers don't.. guess that's what i get for not playing for a spell

thanks though for some more great choices

First try was 88%.

This is my current score on Advanced class bass arrangement with the song Black Velvet by Alannah Myles. Great song, i love it.

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=33z7k40&s=9#.V59g-KIno9k

Not perfect but bass has some delay for me and overall i suck at any song/instument that needs fingers and not picks :)

Happy birthday @@tupoloflyer!

LOL, wth, i started posting scores  and i didnt even tell the organizers what class i choose since its my first participation. In case you didnt guess i would like to start at advanced unless you guys want to put me somewhere else. Im sorry if this caused any trouble but i was excited. This is my first time i ever compete with people on a musical level. :p

100% Yay

And I even did a run in Master mode

@ Don't worry, we would placed you where you posted scores. But don't get too comfy in Advanced, as that 100% is good point to level you up :)

Great song. 1st time did it in SA on hard, but I might have got better score in the pass.

ciao

@@Mortalo Yeah, I cant wait to get crushed by the MCs:D

Adv: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=735927268

 

The ending of this track seemed a little out of sync at times but finally got there... need to find something else to do now  :ph34r: this week's been quite cushy in MC ( until someone improves on my attempt and crushes my dreams :) .)

( until someone improves on my attempt and crushes my dreams :) .)

@@NoonyDeloony Now i know what ill be doing tommorow morning :d (even though i suck at fingered bass)

@ Challenge accepted! :)

Black Velvet on bass after 30 mins in RR >99%

So much competition... cool!

 

Can't wait to be back with full force.

Rock!

I give up !! @@NoonyDeloony i cant do this, idk how you got 2.5m score :0 This is the best i can do http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2v953rp&s=9#.V6BvJ6Ino9k

@ It looks like you and @@NoonyDeloony does not have the same version of the song.  She has 5 more notes in her version.

@@MaZtoR I have the latest version of the only black velvet cdlc on the site. But dont go too deep into it,i just suck at bass and probably most of my notes were recognized as late or early in score attack or something like that :p

@@MaZtoR is right, @@NoonyDeloony must have quite old version (thus that poor sync in the end?). After all our version is from 1989 Noony's from 198 :P

Oh, 198? :p is it some mistake the cdlc creator made ?
