Starting this week late.  Some quick playthroughs:

 

 

 

 

Not quite as quick:

 

 

(with a pick)

 

And tribute:

 

 

But right above it was this song, that I happen to like too, so I extended the tribute

(Judging from the length of the leaderboards, there is a lot of tributing going on, RIP Tom).

 

Update


Happy Thursday Everyone

Cool songs this week, Let's see how much practice I can cram into the next 36ish hours on them.  Was playing with new pedals the last couple days so I wasn't very productive.

Beginner Lead didn't feel to bad to start out, I think I can 90 this one before the end of the week.

Beginner Rhythm, bunch of chords I've never played before and it's not really telling me which fingerings to use for them so I'm trying different thing based on what I know.  Fun learning process at least.

Beginner Bass, . . . . . . wait a minute you can make power chords on a bass?!

 

--Thanks for the fun and weekly motivation all!

---Wren

1 run and done. Play with a pick....

 

Football tomorrow so these may be the last improvements on a very rewarding week.

 

 

i never thought id get this score without really really trying. i ran out of time to improve this one as i had to concentrate on the class I'm in so......

 

 

 

sorry Mellon Farmer  :rolleyes:

3/4. That's not very difficult.

That's even easier, 3 at max.

 

I don't think that I ever played it at full DD before. I know why.

 

This one, on the contrary, very fun to play, but tough on fingers.

Maybe I fixed my sound problem for good...

Woohoo, improvement, now to work on that rhythm part while I still have time.

--Wren

I'll just mention my arthritic pinky does not do well with rhythm parts, but I'm slowly teaching it some new tricks. I'm very happy with this score over a 10% jump in a week and actually sounds like something.  Now to ice the damn pinky.

--Wren

And just because why not I even got an improvement on my bass score through the week.  I decided to stick with fingered instead of picked, need to build up my strumming speed anyway.
