Tribute to Chris Cornell

last week at 17. may a great musician passed away, Chris Cornell, songwriter, singer and guitarero of Soundgarden and Audioslave. High time to catch up on playing one of his great songs as tribute. I chose a great and really fun to play song of Audioslave.

rest in peace Chris!

last week winner corrections

A little beg bass upgrade 98.89% https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/775029151265931838/84719AD8D7550C664B3EF7E6C114765E3C9CCC6D/

 

A little for Chris, sorry I like Fell on Black Days more, and it fits imo. Cornell told Artist Direct in a 2012 interview that the song is "about waking up and realizing you're in a dark period of your life."  https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/775029151265937127/B955FFA5A0637A827BC7314D0E5A1E1906142404/

 

And I saw Queen as i went through and gave it a shot. This is NOT me coming out as advanced:) https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/775029151265947321/1B87FE0748E33E9624B4926F819B77A7D9105BE7/

 

Also it is Memorial day today in the states. I wish all of you who have lost loved ones to our global conflicts the best today as I remember my brothers in arms who paid the ultimate price for freedom. This is a world issue, so this is meant with sincerity for all nations.

First run this week for all guitar paths.  ( I need a bass so i can make longer posts)

Fat Score @@MaZtoR !!!!

First scores of the week.....mostly.....Bass

 

like the Gorillas but getting some strange colours when i try the lead.....

 

 

liking this as well, not sure i'll get the 100% though

 

 

most proud of this one as i have tried it many times on the Xbox and my previous best was 82%, be nice to hit the 99% this week.

 

my previous lead best was 39%  :( who knows i may even beat that this week if i get time.

 

night night

First goes from yesterday:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKVWY2NWNMNXREMzQ/view?usp=sharing (Well, I was hung-over.)

 

I thought I'd do better tonight, but apparently I can't play bass anymore.  I've had to riff-repeat it for about half an hour.  The strange thing is, I can play it 100% speed in riff-repeater, in small chunks just fine, but this is all I managed when I put it all together again:

I did do this though:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKY3lPbTc3M1VFemc/view?usp=sharing

and it's somewhere I never thought I'd get to, with so few attempts.  So maybe I can almost play, after all. :D

Nice work on Marvin there @@missis sumner.  :)  I want to play it now! :D I'm getting increasingly frustrated here...sliced a finger tip quite badly the other day so itching to get back on bass. :(

Woo - which finger?

 

Surprisingly enough I can play okay with my fret hand fingers taped up, but not my plucking fingers.  You could always try superglue... :huh:

Right index  <_<

 

Edit: I mean, I guess I could use a pick.  But bleh!  Hate picks!

Yep, that's the one I'd struggle without.

 

You could use a pick, yes... :lol:

Never listened to Audioslave, but this song is kinda nice.

Well...tried using a pick and my big fat bandage still got in the way :lol:  (Does superglue really work for cuts?  The bugger keeps re-opening.  Does it not hurt like hell?)

 

Soooo....rather appropriately I channelled James Jamerson and used just one finger and actually gained a whole percent since I last played it! :D :lol:

 

Was bum at every other track I tried though haha! :D

Welcome aboard!!!

Between that brutal cold that still won't let go of me and going to AnimeNorth this weekend, I've picked up a bit of rust on the axe. But I hear you can grind it off!

This song doesn't have many notes in it, and a bunch of them are solo, so it's pretty hard to score well on. :lol:

 

http://i.imgur.com/1rHkTBJ.jpg

 

Yeahhhhhh, definitely going to be RRing this.

Very easy for an MC pick, but those solo sections make it worthy. I don't say this often, but I love that quiet bit where you don't play anything. What a great buildup.

Love play on Gorillaz. Sang a bunch of this, too!

It's due time, I think! Been here for years now, glad to be helping out.

 

I hope to make selections a little easier by getting back to contributing quality customs, too!

Yes, apparently, it does work.  I've never actually tried it though. :D

Y....eah...um.... I'm too chicken to try it haha! :D  I imagine it stings  :blink: Thanks for the link though. :)

 

 

 

And congrats @@Gamut :)
