Going out of town to party with some university friends! Played a few more of the week's songs on my stream today, here's a couple 94s for the road:

@@MaZtoR - Bravo, great D score!!!

Got really lazy this week, only the second time I've played. Managed to hit 100%, though just barely. I almost blew it by nearly playing the wrong note on the fifth to last note of the song.

Friday night scores........

 

Moloko Bass, got there in the end

 

 

 

Highwayman Rhythm next, also managed to nail it.

 

 

Tenacious d much improved and feels and sounds so much better than Monday.

 

 

lastly Pink Floyd, now this one does sound shit but i improved and it was a 'wonderful performance' so here it is.

 

 

nighty night all

I'm back tihs week. I tried the rhythm path

... I think I need to work on my strumming.

 

To get the Beezleboss into the nineties really took me some time. I haven't been able to get through SA, I always fail with 2 crosses when Black pledges Cage to the Devil in case they lose and one when Cage laments.

After that hard work I needed to relax, so I picked up my bass.

That went rather well so  I gave it a spin in Score Attack and tried the Highwayman as well:

'the 'happy' sound isn't exactly my thing!!' Mudvayne - Happy... hahaha

I'm happy with the song, problem now is my guitar really isn't happy with the tuning! Failed SA, learn a song said 100%.

Try again later.

 

(I'm not all doom and gloom... I saw Pharell at IOW 2015 while waiting for Blur. I clapped along.)

 

:mellow:  seems that you've received the same email from photobucket that you're not allowed to embed images on 3rd party hosting - I've got mine today with the statement "Our Terms of Service does not allow 3rd party hosting with your current account level."

And they want me to upgrade to Plus500 plan with 400$/y :D

My ride fell through and I don't know if I get to party this weekend anymore! ;_; While I figure out a backup plan, here's some improvement:

Definitely happy about this scorehttp://i.imgur.com/VCcmDE6.jpg

Yikes! Is it the end of the week already? This is not my best work...

Welcome @@watrobaciemnosci!

I did take my drop tuning bass away with me this week, but ended up playing Volbeat and QOTSA instead...

 

So, now sitting in my mum's, on a "standard" bass, I have finally managed a qualifying score:

By the skin of my teeth:

Must try harder next week... :D  

My last run of it for a long time - always missed in different sections and I'm sure Mortalo will beat it with his run of 833k

First ever entry, and pretty happy with the score :) (playing on .09 slinkys is hellish though)

Well I saw far too many 100%'s on Tenacious D and my earlier in the week 98% didn't appear on the score board, so............................... i just had to  :P

 

 

and i loved every minute of it hahahaha

New week incoming!

I was lookin at the leaderboard and and wondered why my Lead score for Tenacious D does not show. Turns out I posted the screen for "Comfortably Numb" twice :angry:

 

So just to retroactively give my last post some sense:

I won't be participating anymore.  I might try and join again one day, who knows?  

Thanks, I had fun.
