HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

Some updates.  BEG Lead is now 99.26%, 454 streak and 2,067,254 score

 

INT Rhythm is now 93.47% streak 102, score 478,727

It's still way too fast for me and the string skipping to make it sound good, but somehow the note recognition was stupendously forgiving.

 

 

First goes, with cable issues and so in LAS:

I think I might have sorted my cable issues.

The solo is really kicking my ass, I can barely get past it without getting an X.

 

God of Guitar 96.77%

 

NOW 97.28% IN NEWER POST

 

DT`s bass for MC removed.

OH COME ON :'((((

@@Steven Briquette May be next week.

Master Class Bass 100%

starting adv - should be a 95 relatively easy

 

http://up.picr.de/27692711ch.jpg

first try ´tallica

 

for me feels like we have the int song adv and the adv song int with the solo, the length, the tech notes and by the fact that i know the metallica song very well by now and never heard the other one before.

 

http://up.picr.de/27692871dk.jpg

rhy is even more fun here

cool song

 

http://up.picr.de/27693051ke.jpg

lil bit of Rammstein is always ok

God of Guitar 97.28% (w/ video) (This was mostly luck, I fucked up a lot)

And now this :angry: :

That one variation on the E - D string alternate picking throws me for a loop, but other than that, I can ace this.

 

The second strike? Uhh... my cat fell.

Didn't get the memo about Zero Visibility and played it anyway.   :lol: Sightreading a 96? Yeah, that ain't MC material.

 

As far as Rise Against goes, it's pretty good, but I'm very pleased to find out we're having Dio instead.  :ph34r:

 

And now this :angry: : 

 

 

Not to worry man, nothing a cupboard door handle and a couple of plastic washers can't fix  :D  :mellow:

If I can get in the 90s, first try on a MC track, it probably shouldn't be a MC track.  :lol: (Especially after last week's advanced!)

I tried Sabaton, but for some weird reason I was having really bad note recognition issues with it, despite it being in E Standard  :unsure:   Anyone else?

I like all song this week.

Aye, I was.  I thought it was my cable though.

OK. You can punch me with baseball bat but I skip this week.

Rammstein - terrible sound with my hands (not my class)

Metallica lead int - you've gotta be kidding me. That solo jump after beginner. Rhythm part I can't play to0.

Sabaton - %)

i don't know how to play all the song. metallica's espesial. 

i've tried all the songs and now i'm angry.

http://i.imgur.com/CMsh49i.jpg

I can agree with it being advanced as it has those tricky mixed palm muted parts.

 

http://i.imgur.com/aEnflkh.jpg

8. That solo is ridiculous. And riff is ok, as it's not really fast, but is quite complex and all over the fretboard. Though I would have no problem with it being Advanced.

http://i.imgur.com/DCPqVRs.jpg

100% is doable, though that would need focus all the way.

 

http://i.imgur.com/sYsBV4t.jpg

Awesome.

That bass is very fun to play.

lil + rhy

First try as Gratis Chicken: Kill the king - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=817289521

 

Fun track... Good warm up exercise 5.5ish not too twiddley but some nice predictable movement. Which I'm sure was a slogan for a constipation medication used to be... "predictable movement"  :D

@@Vodka - c´mon, you are such a fighter, skipping is not an option!

 

Metallica Rhy is within reach for you - great powerchord practice!

And... i have that bat armed!!!!
