I tried to Swing with the Sultans

Turns out I swing better with Alice

Black Velvet - Slight Improvement

I'm tired of another fighting with misses in the misfits.

I'm still working on Peg on bass as a tribute to another of the fallen rock icons.  My score is no longer a train wreck, but not yet respectable... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1128941521 = 93%

 

I'll start on Sweet Home Chicago soon just to be in tune with the rest of the challenge (like that ever mattered to me).

Needs work :)

Wow, I gotta stop looking at other people's scores!

Some minor improvement. I have to riff repeat more.

I have no scores yet, just reading through and saw your post @@Rodman. My sympathies to your family, that's incredibly sad and such a shock I imagine. Lots of love to you guys x

Slowly but surely creeping up...

Better.

Played this one quite a few times in the past, so getting a good score was easy. Fingerpicked, as with any Dire Straits song of course ;)http://oi64.tinypic.com/2iqoj5x.jpg

Even after 5 restarts and a calibration there where a bunch of open notes in the beginning that did not want to register.  I started to think something was wrong with my bass until i just kept playing and notices that the rest of the song it worked just fine.

I hate those bends.

Seems i've been transfered to MC, so let's start here.

 

I love the movie and this song is really fun to play, but it still need a lot of practice.

 

 

Then a little more fun with Dire Straits. I all ready knew this one.

 

 

And then a try on Alannah Myles. Pretty groovy and she's really got a nice voice.

 

Tiny improvement

Played it twice more after that one and got 90.51% on both.

Dire Straits

a little improvement

Special request for next weeks song - something with Hurricane in it. Hurricane Irma is a cat 5 storm about to pay a visit to South Florida. Maybe Rock you like a Hurricane? Then again, if there is now electricity I won't be playing anything.

@@RSjeffH I can think about that, though I don't think that Scorpions song can pass, I really don't like that custom as lead is pretty empty.

 

As we are talking about songs, I should remind you of Song Selection List.

SSL is a place where every participant can choose up to 4 songs that later will have a chance to be selected for one of the upcoming weeks. You can pick official on disk songs (no official dlc, though) or any custom that has Riff Repeater and Custom Tone (lack of custom tone can break the game). Songs are sorted and selected by it's lead difficulty so it's always good to fill at least that one difficulty rating there to save us some time :) (it does not need to be very accurate, at least giving us some idea).

Seems i've been transfered to MC, so let's start here.

 

Was that your decision? Cause it might be just a mistake.

Back after the funeral all alone in my big empty house, had to leave the family because i have to take a plane morrow morning

.... that feels like bass time

and that line feels like a hard 3 more than a 2?!

not a chance to register the AIC bends

This was worse performance then I expected :lol:

 

I couldn't get along the strumming pattern, so I simplified it a bit :ph34r:
