Rock On!

Jo klaw. Did you play it with solo ? Is there a option where i can download it without solo ?

Rhythm path does not have any solos.

Too fast for my liking.  Makes my arm hurt and i get so stressed out.

Anyone else having trouble with Outlaw?  Every time I try to play it, RS crashes and I have to restart the game, only to have it crash again if I try to play Outlaw.

that's what I thought while testing the songs for the week.

I'll upload my "fixed" version and link it to the record page

done - The Cult-Outlaw fixed version

look in the comments for the link

Thanks, I'll try the new version.  :)

Fingers on my left hand turned into meat. I'm trying to learn outlaw and I didn't get even close to the lowest point of success... 90% speed with lots of misses... 100% speed is unreachable.

Good Evening all, tonight was a mostly bass night as I use the bass to learn the Rhythm and feel of all the new songs.... then I get into it even more and forget to play the 6 string.

 

so... some scores

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not too bad, just 1% behind @@fripponomic  's Bass night 

 

liking these songs so learning them should not be a chore, although i just know i can't play the Cult song after watching @@Vodka  's video...... i'm going to fail miserably 

 

later

Yep, fast:

Google drive is refusing to upload my initial Caged Bird attempt.  It was 90%.  And not too bad - except for the bits I just couldn't see/make sense of fast enough, and then the chords...

 

So not very happy with my attempts at MC, I went back to the beginner:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKVndOTmhNbURiRjg/view?usp=sharing

At last!

 

Then did a little riff repeating:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKWHJHcHV5bnFJdFE/view?usp=sharing

 

It all fell apart towards the end - at the chords.  I may have picked the wrong MC song to try to improve on...  :lol:

This week, this FreeBird will sneak back into the Master Class Bass club house, fly around, chirp a lot and leave some Caged Bird deposits.  Here's my messy start to the week - 93%

 

More mess to follow.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=849723537

BEG Lead is 96% Streak 205 this time.

 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=849723460

INT Rhythm is 90% 37 longest streak.

Yep, that solo sure is a challenge:

Dude, the video was recorded with 147 try. And I can't reproduce it now. So the solos are still too hard for me.

But take a look at us. Who we are?

We are the champios my friend

And we'll keep on fighting till the end

 

Ooops. Sorry. Wrong card. We're here to fight. Fight with lazyness and pain and speed of light and wrong screaming notes.

Yes, I will not able to play the solo on the go. But why wouldn't we try? Aren't we?

;)

This solo is a bit harsh for intermediate. But its a nice song.

and Rhythm is easy.

As terrible as hell

http://i.imgur.com/r4DuCGR.jpg

There's no solo ataaaaaaallll

Rhythm part mostly failed too.

@@Vodka I've had a shitty day today but thanks you have cheered me up

some more scores,

 

for some reason i had to swap guitars to get anything above 90% on this song, it seems to be very unforgiving so i guess the Sheraton II is a bit more accurate on the chord recognition, who knows.

 

 

back to the Prophecy for this one... very enjoyable,

 

 

i haven't managed to get through the Lead on the Cult song but done ok with this, good fun

 

i hope this isn't my last post of the week but just night be due to other commitments 

 

nighty night

I practiced the solos.

Finally, 100%:

Outlaw works fine for me, now.  Thanks!

I've got lots of time this week to practice. Australia day public holiday today turns it into a 4 day weekend!

Jo klaw. Did you play it with solo ? Is there a option where i can download it without solo ?

Sorry I wasn't in forum !!

They answered for me!

Argh. I suck.

I joined the CS so that I would have to pick up my guitar sometimes, but I've still just not done it because I'm stupid. I hereby promise I will get a score in this week. Pinky promise. Now I really have to do it.

Been busy all week, and that is good ;)

 

Background:

I obviously love music, any kind, and listen to it all of the time. Even at work i have some silent tune playing in the background. For long time i am a bit worried how to pass that passion over to my kids, for i know for me it started all being very young and listening to the same songs on the radio over and over. Nowadays radio is dead or a joke or both and those spotify things are just too much of everything. And yes, my kids - 7 and 5 (in a few days) are fans of Metallica, Muse, Defrage and Tenacious D by now :D but that´s also questionable.

So, as my girlfriend is in with me at that :* we decided to give them some old, oldschool, slowfood (not slow) music experience in the living room.

(the Cd-Shelves are leaving and the corner is to be vintaged)

:D

 

Driven by a tube amp plus tube auxilliary tube amp, stereo speakers plus sub speaker all built and originally in place from 1959. That sound is next to none and it runs on dimes, quarters and 50c.

 

Moral of the story - you can do anything if you find the right excuse :lol:

(for the record it was not me who said - now thats a nice place we could get a JuBx)
