@@NoonyDeloony - ........... .... i think in fact looking like a psycho is good theese days!

Site CF loading very slow and unstable for me, so for now i still yet can not update trophies for winners, sorry.

Hey, I know this one:

I was not expecting those simple arpeggioss.

If anyone of you remember I did a little custom with my guitar. I installed a new pair of pickups. 
Covered pickups. Cheap pickups. Chinese. And my first feelings were "that's better. cool".
But my opinion has changed over time. Bridge and neck pickups are sound the same. Extra noises.
 
So this time I decided to buy one humbucker but a little bit expensive. And this time this one is from USA, CA.
And I hope it sounds good. Youtube sound was.
Here it is

Can't wait to install it this weekend.

cool slow agressive song

I don't know why A7X is advanced. With 6. Not such fast. Don't has hard parts with jumps between chords-strings-frets.

Rooster is harder for me.

not exactly my song, or is it

not exactly my band?

Well, its not hard to get a high acc on a7x here, BUT the rhythm is not easy, there are a lot of timechanges and you have to play very very precise to make it sound good. And some parts are adv fast.

 

 

Just turn the background vol to 0 and have a go!

 

Btw - you are doing great!

that´´s quite a cool song

I guess you're right. Not guess. Of course you're right. And I'm trying do all my best.

 

Background to 0? No. NO. NONONONO. HELL NOOOO. Don't ask me!

I'd like to think all that beautiful sounds in my headphones are from my golden precise fingers.

 

Seriously now. Yes. Some of song parts require advanced skills. And I have to admit that - I'm playing it very ugly. Not all the parts. I hope so. And after I played it again and again I noticed a better sound. But a little.

Chords. Chords are my huge trouble. As huge as a tank agains my hyundai. BOOM =(

for all that think bassplayers are lazy snorebags - c´mon have a go for that one ;)

Not a lot but some improvment  :)

I had five tall boys for a Halloween party, came back early still very much under the influence, and decided to do some science. How much does being plastered affect my ability to sightread? :beer:

Song is aptly titled. Nothing technical, but ultra catchy.

Never heard this A7X song but it's got Mike Portnoy on the drums so naturally it's killer. This chart is not awful, but there's a lot of missing details. Drives me crazy that there's no slide in the verse riff, it gives you a miss for playing it.

 

Sober second looks:

So, uh... surprisingly little, in terms of score! Those are pretty typical improvements for my second plays. Pretty sure my sound quality suffered heavily, though...

I'm a lazy snore-bag bassist.... which is exactly WHY I won't be giving it a go :D I hated that song last year and I hate it this year. If It's picked next halloween I'll be having words... :)

Another warmup

I hate those stupid powerchord slides.  For some reason i miss them every single time.

Slight improvement.  Haven't been able to post it till now with the site issues.

Here are some scores which i thought were alright until i saw the others so here goes,

 

 

i can't play this anymore because it hurts my ears, the guitar is really loud and strange sounding, plus one of the notes will not register what ever i do so i gave up.

 

I then gave it a go on the Bass, which doesn't hurt my ears so i might play it again,

 

 

Then i improved my Avenged Seven Fold score a few %'s,

 

 

I thought i done pretty we'll until I saw @@Vodka has posted a bloody 99%....... WTF

 

well done my masked Racoon friend...... i am never going to beat that  

 

night night all

Here are some (hopefully not final) scores...

Eagle Fly Free is a surprisingly fun and challenging bass song.  My tapping needs some serious work though.

@@Vodka - are you going for that 1% on lead and race to INT?
