Rock on!!!

Looks like I've nearly caught myself up in the Int Lead already :rolleyes:

:lol:

+, lead

 

http://up.picr.de/28654783xk.jpg
 

 

and now i´m gonna try to do a little better...

 

@@Telboy +/- 13 :lol:

Happy birthday @@klaw!

Thanx a lot Mortalo!!!

Maybe I'm the eldest here  :D

and i did :)

 

http://up.picr.de/28654983ml.jpg
 

and then i did a very good run

it might have been @@MaZtoR for 2nd if i would have RRd bending and solo a lil... maybe still to come,

however it was 80.00% back in week 50 after a lot of tries, me is happy :D

+, metric

Back in w42 (my 4th week at the CS) that was the first Metric song i ever heard and played

Great song, Great Band, it was 97.2% after 17 tries then.

Happy birthday @@klaw , not sure that u are the elder though :-)

If you find Johnny B. Goode to be too easy on bass, try No Particular Place to Go, also by Chuck Berry.  It has a lot of string skipping which is kicking by butt.  I'm still struggling in RR at 75% speed.

Imgur's misbehaving again.  :rolleyes:

 

 

Johnny Hallyday - 100%   1,715,749

Metric - 100%  1,443,151

Chuck Berry - 99.75%  Streak: 332

 

I agree the Chuck Berry version is WAYYY easier than the Marty McFly version.

 

I also gave MC a go since I've been trying to learn to play slap lately......an attempt was made, let's just leave it at that!   :lol:  I'll probably work on it this week though since ADV is really INT ;)  :P

I've played other Metric songs before, but both songs are new to me and can't post a previous score. The French song has some challenging bends and I start with a 88% - I've played it with another guitar and I'm not sure if it's me with crappy playing :D or something else which causes recognition issues. At the end I recalibrated - the sound vlolume has been adjusted to 7.2db (it was at 4.2db) and maybe it was too low. I guess that the battery is almost empty and I'll see if I get into the 90% after replacing it - if not it's skill related ;) But enough lame excuses  :P  Excellent scores posted by @@MaZtoR, @@SirKoolaid and @@Rodman

Nice vid - my level is the 1st minute of this vid :D

@@papillon @@missis sumner I am definitely more Homer than Flea........ but thanks, I now have another part of my body to injure..... goodbye to picks .....

Hah!  I love that Simpsons episode @@papillon :lol:

 

 

It makes me feel good about having little stumpy hands I mean the muscular stumps of a bass player. :P

On week 42 my best was 100% and I just added few more points to the score:

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

So you see that I didn't improved much if at all over those 2 years :lol:

 

Metric is the only non-metal band among my favorites.

 

Nice vid - my level is the 1st minute of this vid :D

 

 

 

Lol!  I've never seen that before.

 

It's about my level too... :lol:

 

my kind of bassline, so great!!!

Hello everyone,

 

long time no see  :D I haven't participated in the championchip in years  :o And it's good to be back  :wub:

 

To kick this off, i'll just add those:

 

I played Altitudes just for fun ;) The Bass one was great fun! Took only 3 attempts, but really nice to play. My Johnny B. will properbly improve in the coming days.

And once again, I'm really happy that this championchip is still going! It's great to see what this has become since the first weeks. A massive thanks to everyone who is keeping this allive!!!

Getting nowhere on Allumer,  So i played metric again.   Stupid one miss.

@@domsch1988 Thanks ^_^ Cool to see someone who participated back when I didn't even imagine that I will run this show (yeah, who am I kidding :lol: )

@@Molice if you think that I'll put your score into the leaderboard, then you're wrong :angry:

While I'll try to record myself, I won't aim at 100% as I might play some notes differently.
