Lola Bass

Good enough for last on the leader boards:

I have not played my bass in a while, man, that hurt!  

Went back for a go at the rhythm part on the Dark Tranquillity song. I can't seem to get a hold of the hard part of it, maybe at 70-80% on riff-repeater ^^

BOC Lead...finally got through it

http://steamcommunity.com/id/MorgageSurfer/screenshot/871867161405691882

Sorry I missed last week. Life and all...

 

Anyway here is my first(technically second) go at Cities on flame. Fun song. I am determined to get first in one of these damn things.

Having a pretty hectic week but I'm finding some time to get used to the MC.

 

 

Ghost video coming! Gonna play the Adv for sure, too.

Already much improved. Working on that elusive 99%

Man am i glad this changed. Not because it was hard, but because I didnt want to hear it again:)

 

More like 5.

 

BOC is good.

 

One of the funniest Championship tunes ever.

Some more bass.  Great songs.

I did some practice last days.

Dark Tranquillity. Rhythm is still unsubmittable, it is so much harder than Lead.

 

Lead goes up:

 

 

,,, and because this went rather well, I tried Master mode, but wasn't able to replicate my score there.

 

Ghosts creeping higher:

 

Ghosts, better today on lead. The Rhythm track is confusing.

 

BOC Lead

http://steamcommunity.com/id/MorgageSurfer/screenshot/877496816350899372

 

Scrapped through all the parts somehow.

Whelp, 10 point jump on the lead and nearly a 1 point jump on rhythm.  Hopefully I get some more practice on friday and be able to take both of them over the 90% mark.

100%ghost-if you have ghosts (bass)

First time doing this..

Master-Mode, within 2% of my Hard-Mode score!

 

 

 

Welcome @@Sphincto!

Soooo little time this week, and most of that time was consumed by song selection for next week.

 

Nevertheless one try bass

I love Lola.... I like Lola... I'm loosely acquainted to Lola... I loathe Lola. She's a massive whick!

I'm not very well... annual cold ready for my impending birthday. I did do a video but I look like I feel, which is like a cold, grey, giant, curly poo on a beach. 

Small Improvements

I keep resorting to 1 finger

Some quick score.

 

 

 

 

 

I might need some RR on this one.
