I played Skyreach on bass, and it seemed like after the break the sync went off. Maybe off by an eighth note? It definitely didn't seem right to me. The first fill after the break also sounded like it should be an octave higher than charted, I think (there might have been other parts in the wrong octave, but can't remember off the top of my head).

only dhm try on my adv tune bass, hardie that is

Words, words and more words.

So im probably not gonna have time to play anymore this week since im off to celebrate midsummers eve tomorrow so here is  my score.

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhIcVdvZEdlWnpmX1k/view?usp=sharing Mc bass 99.07 I have gotten 100% earlier but it wouldnt be fair to submit old scores.

 

I really like moodie blues i just wish there where more moody blues customs. And so ive decided that it is time for me to enter rhythm guitar so here is my entry for that too.

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhIX1FveThTSGRHcUU/view?usp=sharing adv Rhythm 94,93 (it sounded a lot worse)

-= weekly leaderboard update =-

 

no leader changes

 

COOL PLAYING EVERYONE!

ROCK ON!!!

Sometimes the best way to improve is to not play.

Final entry this week for me,   its Midsommers eve and as a Swede I'm getting hammered and wont be able to play tomorrow.

I've been working away from home and somehow managed to get used to playing a short-scale during the week.  I didn't play any championship songs on it though :ph34r:.  I'm back now on my standard size bass, so:

I was all over the place on this:

I'm just about getting used to standard scale again:

I hope to be able to give it another go later/tomorrow.

Had another go today, and after a bit of a rough start where I kept making mistakes really early, got caught back up to where I was a couple nights ago and finally got 100%.

 

 

But I saw no need to leave it at that, figured I could probably do better, so...

 

 

 

Got 100% again, but was only my third highest score, so I decided to call it a night.

one Friday evening improvement, 

 

 

and a quick look at the Moody Blues,

 

 

 

i though that this sounded terrible, until i had  go at the Rhythm ....... which sounded even worse,

 

Not so easy... [updated]

Alrighty, first change to play this week was tonight, so yay Riff Repeater and Nostalgia!!!

 

Beginner Lead: 98.9% Streak 192 637,195.

 

 

Intermediate Rhythm is harder than it seems (mostly cause I really don't have that rapid downstroke move down), but fun song.  93.25% Streak 84 332,700

More improvements.......

 

 

yes i know i said i wouldn't be playing this anymore but ...well @@mackaybre smashed my score so i just had to.

 

 

 

i want the 97% so bad but wrist is aching, might have another go later.

 

My finger is so sore... hope I'm not getting a blister.

not very difficult, got the same % as Telboys earlier score, they had a much better streak tho

Guess who's back ;) Sorry i haven't been doing RS championships in forever, but thought i might as well come back before i start uni. Off to a good start with a really nice song

 

 

@Telboy: well @mackaybre smashed my score so i just had to.

I'm just happy I could challenge you this week.  Good job!

I have been afk most of the week but I've improved a bit. Managed a bit of Riff repeater for a bit for Moody blues and did this... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=954280418 which I am quite pleased with that result.

Here is my attempt at Burning My Soul.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=954296283

 

Thought I'd give DT a bash. I love DT and rare to see a DT track in a lower class than ADV or MC. some tricky widdles but fun. canne be hooped playing it again, my hands are tired today.

Last scores...... i think i neglected the Bass this week so i had a little go.......

 

 

 

 

i didn't have a clue what was going on here but i think if i had played it twice the score would have been a little better  :huh:
