Oh yeah for Under My Thumb. My bass will be on fire next week! Good pick fripp ;)

I just tried the Galneryus song..

 

Now I understand why GoG goes on for two weeks.

Lets mf go :) :) :)

Hospital visit done, baby sitting done, farm visit to see peppa pig done, house to myself and a case of 'non improvement', all to myself so a flying start to the week.... let's go

God, I love RHCP so much, especially this song.  Shame I can't do it justice.

Lots of riff repeating ahead...let's go!!!  :lol:

damn cool, damn hard, damn long... did i already say damn cool ,,,

ah... one of my most fav ´tallica tunes is back - thx @@Molice

that one is even more straight forward than S´n´Destroy, almost minimal ... i love it

Maybe I won 170 beg lead path  ;)  ;)

it was no DD.

good night

My arm started cramping and I wasn't even trying the Lead part!

 

Geez....

 

 

Metallica - Jump in the Fire (Rhythm) 98.79%

ok some scores, early for me i know but i have no idea weather these will improve, i don't like D tuning, can't pretend to like the song but i'm not giving up.......

 

 

 

 

 

it seems......I'm going to be a superstar !

 

however I very much doubt it, and I'll wake up with a hangover, misses will still scold me, my granddaughter will walk over me  and I'll forget what scores I've posted,

 

 

 

night night all

Oh... I thought Under My Thumb was advanced....

I'll try Californication next, I guess.

 

L

Here's my start on Californication on bass = 95%

 

I should be able to get this above 99%

starting the week with bass without practise first if I know the songs

http://up.picr.de/28160272hh.jpg

second run, at the first I forgot the screenshot....needs some RR again, esp the solo

the notes at 23th fret don't count in this version :( , I guess Plum made this for the less than 22 fretters bassists.

 

http://up.picr.de/28160202pi.jpg

at the first run I was confused by the wrong chord informations (all wrong). And cannot play with this crappy tone, use annother one, then it's a good one.

I had to stop and wonder about those chord labels too - off by exactly a fifth.

Rust starting to come off. Might even 100% this one - it's really short, and I love me some Graveyard. :D

I remember when we last played jump in the fire.   It was to fast for me then, and i remember saying that my goal was to be able to handle that speed in 1 years time.   Its been over 2 years now and i have not tried it since then, but i can say its not to fast anymore.

First try.

the solos are still way above my level, but here it is anyway.

Hospital visit done, baby sitting done, farm visit to see peppa pig done, house to myself and a case of 'non improvement', all to myself so a flying start to the week.... let's go

I have to drive 300 km and back every saturday for a second time. And I will do it next few weeks. Just to see my wife for 10 minutes =(

This is all I have for now, GoG later..

 

Master Class Lead 97.46% (meh)

Master Class Bass 99.92% (I could get 100%)

@@Vodka I know travelling is a real pain, I drive 200kms a day just to get to work and back..... then another 45 minute drive to collect the Girlfriend up from work.

This is obviously cutting in to important guitar playing time.

 

Not using this as an excuse though

Fortunately my work is in 10 kms out of me. You won again! :D

My car covered with lots of salt from road! And this is after first 300 kms only. Hate winters!

White car which is black actually:

Wow, Jump in the Fire is kicking my butt.  If that is a beginner song, I'm a heck of a lot farther away from intermediate level than I thought!
