HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

 

I almost forgot to post my score this week  :o 

Beautiful day outside... Have a good weekend guys!  :sunny:

I have tryed Opeth rhy again and again. Too fast 4 me to get higher =(

New week incoming!

Majka with bronze medal! Hosszu almost got that WR on 400 medley. 1st day of Olympics is not yet over. Shit swimming is so fuckin' spectacular. Go Sjoestoem!

@@Mortalo Wait what??? Olympics?? I havent seen it at all on greek TV like not at all, is there a livestream online? i like watching the running and the swimming, i find them really fun and fast paced. Weird, greek channels dont have em this year... Im looking forward to this weeks songs :P

I watch it in polish TV or here but I don't know if it will work for you or that you'll understand any of it :lol:

It doesn't seem to be better :/ 

Funny thing is I scored my best (1,629,243 so just A LITTLE BIT less than @@NoonyDeloony :')  )   ... with sound turned off...

perplexed

 

It's not just you. I noticed in my 100% run that I'd get "Perfect" on notes I definitely did not play perfectly, and "Good" on notes that were dead on time. Not sure if it's the sync or the rhythm of the slides that's off, but it's at least one of those.

@@Gamut Yep, I'd never paid attention to my score before, and I think I'm not doing it again, because of my lack of trust in the recognition system ! Let's just trust our ears to determine if we're on time or not.

@ it broke near the bridge while playing. Probably it was old. The sound have been weird since week. At least I have a reason to restring. And my cats have a new toy. 

 

I were having this problem on my LP-like guitar. Sometimes even new strings break after one-two weeks. I can recommend 4 things:

1. take .11 gauge set -- it's really hard to break
2. clean strings everytime after playing by wrapping strings with cloth and moving across the whole length of string, don't only clean it from the visible side
3. buy this thing -- it makes string feel like new for a month and increase their life by 2-3 times
4. if you have two part bridge -- with an actual bridge and a second thing to just hold strings (Les Paul-like), you should level with screews the string-holding thing to be a bit lower than bridge. That way strings don't bend too much on saddles, decreasing tension at the point. Somebody says this will also increase sustain

Ok, so here goes final difficulty scores for week 145 songs:
Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me): Lead 2, Rhythm 3, Bass 2
Opeth - Ending Credits: Lead 4, Rhythm 5, Bass 5
Alannah Myles - Black Velvet: Lead 6, Rhythm N/A, Bass 5
Soda Stereo - En la ciudad de la furia: Lead 9, Rhythm 9, Bass 5
I give you one day for final comments. Tomorrow I will submit that scores.
