Played this 3 more times, but apparently the more i play the better the solo goes, but everything else is getting worse. 

Last update.

 

 

And a little try on master, just for fun. Not very brillant.

 

if i have included something in this entry that sounds other than appreciative, it is not intended that way

 

Nope, not at all, totally magnanimous. I appreciate it, and I'm glad we got that sorted out.

Tried so hard to beat the top score on this one, but no luck. My play count is up to 20 at this point, but my best score so far was on number twelve:

 

 

I was lucky to get that score. It is scrolling by so fast that is memorizing. I would literally get lost in the scroll and miss a fret change. Its like highway blindness when you drive for awhile a kinda forget the last few miles.

some improvements on the intervals

Edit : little improvement again

very fun to play, liked this bands first two albums a lot not sure about the new one

the verse part of this song is weird, arpeggios were good to work on

Final improvement this week.   I'm off to a 1 day local bands rock festival in 15min.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Fortunately I had a bit of luck myself, tonight.

 

Tried to top that score a few more times, but unsurprisingly I couldn't do it. Switched to Gorillaz and made a nice improvement over my previous score. Missed the initial result screen, but here's the score:

My late score for adv - excellent 97+ which I won't reach today :D The sections are broken in the custom or I've played an older version of it.

This was my best streak but lower %

@@papillon they are a lil' bit broken. It's very old custom.

That's all I've got time for this week:

And I knew I had work to do on this, but wasn't quite sure which bit I had to practice:

No time this week for practicing

@@klaw Hope you enjoyed it! And now I know why it got so chilly here all of a sudden :lol:

 

Couldn't get better lead score but got this:

http://i.imgur.com/V3zbmR3.jpg

The Orwells:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1041149844

 

Couldn't get gorillaz to work for some reason, Through the never I like to listen to but hate playing it seems (all that finger flapping round the low end of the neck irritates my carpal tunnel ) and I'm too poorly to commit to practicing Interval, even though it's a boss bassline, I've attempted it but my head's full of bogies and it hurts to think too hard :)

Ah, get well soon, man.  I'm currently totally tiring myself out on Tubular Bells and War of the Worlds - 'cos I know I won't be able to play tomorrow, and I just know I can't do much more on Intervals after only playing it once before in the week.  

HEY ALL!!

I'm back from Baltic tour and Poland.

Nooo! Here I was thinking I was gonna win this week, and then you pull this out. And I got a blister earlier from playing that Gorillaz song, so I can't even attempt to beat it.

 

edit: Actually, the blister's low enough on my finger that I can probably still play okay. I doubt I'll beat it, but I'm gonna try.

Came close a couple of times, got 2.65m and 2.66m, then I finally did it! Woo!

 

Of course the week Intervals gets picked is the week I'm perpetually behind on sleep! :sob: Well, I got a decent snooze last night, let's see what Rested Gamut and RR can do.

Yeah, that's a little better.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhIV0N3bHBpaFg5VFE/view?usp=sharing (mc bass 97,11) i should play it again. pretty bad score im going to blame it on my badly setup bass (i only have access to this bass since im at holiday and it needs a fretleveling which i cant do here).

 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhIc29lc2Q2Vm9YZ1E/view?usp=sharing (adv guitar 96,98) never heard it before pretty okay i just cant stand lars drum sound and hetfields voice....

Very minor improvement on this one:

 

And then I was looking my play count; it was the second highest, dwarfing Batman, now at number three (21 plays). My highest is Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers which I played a lot early on, and has a play count of 80. It's also the only song I've been able to play outside the game (or at least, without the note highway). So I figured, maybe I should give master mode a try with this one. Don't know if this counts as an entry, but...

 

 

Suck it, Note Highway! I don't need you anymore!

so i just played it and i had improved 2% over night https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zebKHkDZhIdkJ1dk9HamwxZ2s/view?usp=sharing (mc bass 99,14)

I reeeeeeeeeaally want to break 90 on this, but I've also got a new week to roll, and those acoustic arpegs are impossible to pick up in an hour, so I might call it here.

Two more hours for scores, then Week 195's coming in!
