Rush! #stoked [emoji106]

WOW Rush, Sabbath and ELO, here we go lads!

An excuse to try to beat my Rush previous best of 31% Ryhthm 75% Bass ... we'll see

 

And my 91% ELO bass should be beaten as well.....

 

As @@Rodman says let's rock

I regret that I won't have more time. I really wanna work up to Sabbath! I think the April Fool's joke is that the ELO track should be a rhythm track.  :lol:

 

Evil Woman - 91.38%

The joke is that Evil Woman was more then 100 weeks in Song Selection List. Which means that when you are being patient (or maybe long-suffering :lol: ) your song will be selected (unless it's from that Metallica's album that does not exist :ph34r: ).

Nice Beseech - excellent custom and choice :D

Whoooahhh!  Evil Woman has been picked!  

 

Sorry guys, but there are many more better ELO CDLCs out there now.  Oh, well, at least I can pick a different ELO track for the Championship, now then? ;)

The arpeggio parts in the int song had me flustered so I tuned down for some Sabbath instead. Glad I did, haven't heard this one before and it's great fun to play.

 

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/myq06pml353rh7a/221680_20170402153929_1.png?dl=0

I still cannot believe that ELO finally made it - it really was fun seeing Random Number Generator ignore it every time.

In the other hand there is only one explanation: It must have been the only choice left for beginner class ;)

 

So - everyone: Please put up to 4 songs of your choice into song selection list (see e.g. @@Mortalo ´s signiture for link), and very important: rate the paths for difficulty, and then have a little? patience and we all will be up and playing that.

First and only Score this week.    I'm going to Florida in a few hours for a 3 week vacation.   :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: :palm_tree: :palm_tree:

A good start to the week

Holy floppy strings Batman, I do like some Sabbath tho

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

Can i trade my undeserved 1st place in advanced rhythm from w178 for a deserved 1st place in advanced lead for w179 just gone?

EDIT: Think I was outside the submission time having now read the other posts back, but also saw i'm 1st place on the leaderboard, which was the goal and the only reason I asked, so doesn't matter now!

I hereby graciously retire from Advanced to concentrate on securing 2nd place in Masterclass and keeping Joker on his toes.

Some score from my Sunday morning session :)

What in the world is this open string hell tab o.O 

Love the song though!

Love me some classic Sabbath! Really like it with the triplets towards the end of the song. Also that bend release was a bit surprising.

I always seem to mess up the breakdown part when he sings about the salesmen and it goes reggae ish. Gonna work on this song during the next week now. Rush is legendary and so fun to play on bass!

scores from that morning:

 

My Music, My Playlevel, i love Ozzies voice esp. from those times.

Since tomorrow is today, so here goes announcement:

God of Guitar: August Burns Red - Everlasting Ending (C# drop B)

 

It's not as difficult as Becker, but it looked like a legit GoG song (or my skill goes way down while sitting :wacko: ).

I don't think a single one of my bends counted  :(  Guess what technique I'll be working on THIS week!  :lol: 

(But seriously...who first decided bending heavy bass strings was a good idea...I already feel like I could crack a walnut now with these fingers after that little workout!  :D )

Now THIS is a track for bassists!  LOVE IT!  I have to say I agree with Noony...but also Matzor!   :ph34r:  I just cannot stand Geddy Lee's voice, but those basslines!  Man, they are fun!!!  :wub:

http://i.imgur.com/ObqJeFt.png?1

Geddy's pipes are an aquired taste. I'll give you that @@Fraggle Baggle :) to out right hate them is harsh though :( One can only hope the @@MaZtoR of muppets will find a Rush track he likes and learn to love their beauty :)

Rush and August Burns Red? Sounds like another great week to me!

 

@@MaZtoR Enjoy the vacation, party hard in Americaland!

Wellllll....I didn't say I hate them! :P  But yes, I may have come across a bit harsh. :D

Who'd have thought, Geddy's voice is the Marmite* of rock! :lol:

 

 

 

 

  :huh: (*wonders if the Marmite reference will mean a thing to our non-Brit friends)
