-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

took a step to the left........and got a shit score......... took a step to the right.... and got a shit score........

 

i guess you know where this is going.......

 

tomorrow i am gonna do the pelvic thrust........see what score that brings.

 

went on to Sex pistols bass for a rest........never thought i'd say that 

 

 

some of you may notice that there is no INT Bass submitted as yet and i can confirm that i have played the Iron Man song (more than once) but as yet i have not managed to get through without the orange bars showing or the dreaded XXX's

 

no excuses like it was my Granddaughters first birthday (it was though) or i was too busy (although i real was) or i burnt my thumb on a hot weld (did that too)

 

no medals for me this week me thinks

 

night night

 

 

some of you may notice that there is no INT Bass submitted as yet

 

 

I did notice.  :lol:

 

I don't actually think it is Int. :)

 

Or in other words, these songs are definitely getting harder.

You are not wrong Misses S they are getting harder, bit more work needed each week......we must be improving though

I agree that Iron Man is tough on bass. I didn't expected Time Warp to be harder, so it is how it is :D

Not a song I'm a huge fan of this week, so probably just going to leave this as it is...

I've not attempted the guitar part yet.

Bass Category Advintmasginner: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=759545326 I know this song very well... never played it before though (although I have an old version of the chart which I've apparently played once and I don't recall playing it so I'm guessing I tried it and quit after the first few bars if the version wasn't working very well... so I'm not counting that try :) )

 

Some really fun parts to play in this hence my new categorisation "Advintmasginner". I suspect a pick is generally used but I'm shit with a plectrum. Glad my fingers pads resemble the hardy corduroy of a geography teachers elbow patch.

I felt a slight twinge in my index finger so didn't play for as long as I would have wanted to, but then I probably have been neglecting other things in my life...

So which one counts towards the Championship?

 

I did give this one, one more go.  I had to.  My score from the other night was not good at all.  This isn't much better though. :D

Oh, yeah, I meant to say, I played Iron Man with a pick.  How the hell did I manage to play it without last night?  No wonder my plucking fingers were sore!  :lol:

I found that the only way to get better at playing certain tunes is to get into character, so with my fish net stockings on and a little light make up (just a bit of red lippy of course, i'm not gay) and a pair of knickers that i found in the car I was ready for the Rocky Horror Picture show,

 

So with a pelvic thrust i dived into the Rhythm to improve on my score of 91. something %

 

hmmm not a bad improvement i thought....... while I'm in the mood and the Gin and Tonic is just kicking in I'll have a go at the Advanced Bass.

 

This was NOT a 'Decent performance' and i'll probably never play the Time Warp again as the bass is out of my league and the Rhythm sounded awful...... plus i got chaffing from my attire  :ph34r:

 

Time to get my Punk Rock stuff on and thrash the Bass a bit    B)

I have many times received  99.32%, may be six. Like the high border, but finally jump over. My updated score:

Another hour or so and i managed to get my Int score on bass...... i went from 59% to 63% on LAS then i went straight to Sa and got 94% then 97%........ then this score,

 

i never thought i could get into the 90's but things just clicked and life was happy again  :D so happy in fact that i had another go at the Pistols Bass......

 

Not only 100% but i was pleased with the score as well, love playing this one 

 

this might be my last scores of the week....going away for the weekend 

 

 

 

night night all

@ very nicely done. And you were saying something about Iron Man's difficulty? :P

I'm sure this'll be bettered by the end of the week, but i'm out of time. Off to find some sun for a week and thaw out after a cold winter here.

@@Mortalo ...... yes I have found with some songs that they seem impossibly difficult but then you seem to start to get it in your head and it just clicks, then you wonder what all the fuss was about lol

better

@ Welcome!

Me and my brother were just jamming 12-bar blues, I was pretty much just playing this!

Really great song :) 

Hey guys and gals, that's me :D  I just wanna get rid of those chen which makes things small

Aaand I bring out a new MC lead score, the only which is played in SA... don't know why nobody else plays there, maybe I should get a special award for this  ;) I always prefer the SA if I can survive there

http://up.picr.de/26764085zv.jpg

I played it with alternate picking because I'm afraid of getting parkinson if I would play it with downstrokes only

Let's doooo The Time Warp agaaaaaain!

I borked the solo really bad, could have been high 99... But this wasn't bad at all!

@@fripponomic Oh damn, you're catching up to me :) 

@@fripponomic "don't know why nobody else plays there, maybe I should get a special award for this  ;) I always prefer the SA if I can survive there"

 

I play LAS because its more chill. If someone gets the same score as me and we both have 98% for example then i go to SA and try to keep ahead a little bit at a time.

Improvement:
