Congrats to all winners. Well done!

 

 

 

This week's songs are:

 

Beginner Choice:

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine (Eb Standard)

Let's start big. Yellow Submarine is "the" The Beatles song. Known by every kid (at least when I was a kid :lol: ), surprsingly the biggest song by the band from Liverpool is sung by Ringo Starr. Paul McCartney steals the show with fun bass line, though guitars do not like excitement with chord selection.

(Beginner Lead, Beginner Rhythm, Intermediate Bass)

(There is available E Standard version - I will accept scores from both, still on guitar it's more difficult)

 

Intermediate Choice:

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall, part II

Talking about band's biggest hits. You may not know The Wall album, heck, you may not know who Pink Floyd is, but you know Another Brick in the Wall.

We are playing @PC Plums's version as it's well done. It will challenge Intermediate guitarists, but I think that it is in your reach.

(Intermediate Lead, Beginner Bass)

 

Advanced Choice:

The Brew - Mute

The Beatles. Pink Floyd. The Brew? Who are they? Fear not, bah, rejoice! Mute might be the hidden gem of this week selections. Strong song that will satisfy every guitarist. And it has quite nice bass too.

(Advanced Lead, Intermediate Bass)

 

MasterClass Choice:

Rainbow - A Light In The Black

Gimme some Rainbow! Such a nice song, with fun riff, hard solo and nice groove. It's great to listen to and much better to play ^_^

(MC Lead, MC Rhythm, Advanced Bass)

 

Jaco Pastorius - Port of Entry

It's really more of God of Bass :lol: We long waited for Jaco Pastorius to debut on Championship and when he does, it's a big one. I hope that you won't hate me when this week will end :ph34r:

(MC Bass)

 

God of Guitar Choice:

John 5 - The Black Widow Of La Porte

When you think about Rob Zombie's guitarist, you don't think about ultimate guitar challenge but you get one. Black Widow of La Porte will be familiar to Guitar Hero players - it's even more difficult in real life. Some good metal to sum up week 200.

(God of Guitar)

Let's get started!

Pink Floyd

 

95.57%  Streak=160   (Some improvement)

http://steamcommunity.com/id/MorgageSurfer/screenshot/859479882264947857

Here's my first crack at this one. I'm not quite sure how the bends are charted in the solo. Doesn't quite look like it sounds. Anyhoo...

 

Yeah I can't get a few of the bends the way the game is asking either and I'm not really sure how to do it, cant even get them to register in super slo mo, the rest I can get down but a few of the big bends are weird

Oh dang, I'd be stoked to get down on this. When does the week end?

@MadameMadman   The week usually ends around 19:00 CEST Saturday.   (17:00 GMT, 13:00 EDT)

Still improving on this one

me done for the week I think.

was a bit lazy this weeks in terms of playing but I made some decent progress on these,

 

legendary track, a lot of fun to work on, some of those bends I just couldnt hit according to rocksmith

didnt like this song, but got it up enough to do it in score attack

http://i.imgur.com/TLtYZRO.png

A song I have been listening to for over 30 years and I only get a couple of plays on it. Hopefully get to play some more in the morning before the week ends.

I would have liked to get scores for most of the songs but I barely got a score for MC :p

That's me for the week.  I'm really not well - terrible sore throat. :(

Small + and massive streak. Screwed the solo though.

And to the mods (and the rest): Congrats for getting to week 200!  :D

i only had the time to play rainbow 2 times, and im not good enough for pastorius so xD

 

For future reference (way, waaaaayyyy in the future!) had to give Jaco a go.

Irrefutable proof that if you flail your fingers around and hit enough strings fast enough, some of the notes you hit WILL be correct at the right time and even with all the wrong notes you'll still sound like Charlie Brown's teacher! :lol: :D

 

With that I'm done in again.
