Good solo, bad everything else. But I'm starting to get it.

 

This song's really syncopated, with layered melodies and accents in funny places. Really grooving on this~ ♫

Working from home today so managed a few sneaky plays. C'mon 90's!

Hahahahahaha...

 

I remember that that one pulled my nerves already the first time we had it, and oops, it did it again ...

 

http://up.picr.de/30045665lr.jpg

I just had to stop playing in between, or i might have hurt someone, tho i love @@fripponomic ´s  charting... it´s just that song and thus here is my worst DHM entry of all time, yeah! 

@@MonstaS4 - very well played!!!! no idea if i can tackle that, but i got an hour and so... the heat is on.

The more i play that the worse i get...

... but it´s fun.

i have been a bit unable to play due to various reasons which i won't bore you with, but i feel like a naughty child who has not done his homework this week.......

 

but i had a few hours tonight so i caught up a little bit, 

 

Bass.....

 

must do better......

 

 

could do better.......

 

did do better.......

 

hmmm, don't want to do better......

 

hopefully some Lead / Rhythm tomorrow.

 

night night all

http://i.imgur.com/jr5VGrl.jpgTried playing the rhythm part with a jazz 3 pick first... yeahhh  :P

http://i.imgur.com/2dC1blk.jpg

And this definitely took more than 3 tries; messed up four times at the end  <_<

Not a bad improvement since it's been a few days since my first attempt playing the entire song. Wonder what results actually practicing it might give? I don't think I'll find out, so little time! :(

-= weekly leaderboard update =-

 

leader changes:

@@Nick K. - MC lead!

 

Great playing everyone!!!

Rock on!!!

Finaly got 100% after struggling with recognition trouble on the open A. But not an hard song in the end.

Was having a great run of Empire and busted the old high E after the solo. Hnnnng.  :sweat:

didnt have too much time this week but managed to work on these a bit

 

a lot of fun, not too hard

love this song and have worked on it a lot since discovering CDLC, I have most of the song down without thinking but as many others noted the end solo bends are absolutely killer

This may well have been a 100% week if I could just get the D after the open E to recognize with any consistency. Doesn't look like many played it, it may just be me.. I will try some more in the morning i suppose. Sucks when you do better on MC than Beginner.
