Some bass scores?

 

 

 

 

 

good evening!!!!

 

;)

:(

Made some improvement

 

 

Then practiced a little in master

 

Oh man, this beginner song is totally unforgiving. And my guitar sounds so detuned.

 

 

 

No intermediate rhythm, so straight to advanced, hey, this seems much easier than "Love Stinks".

 

 

Let's try lead. Ok, need to work on this one.

 

improvements:

 

 

Sorry for posting as I go, but here comes bass.

 

 

Fingered ...

 

 

... and cheated with a pick:

Small bit better

@@Anwyn I'm always playing Harris with a pick. Do not be a masochist.

 

This one was tricky. 6.

 

Fun to play.

 

I do not like that pull-off part, I can easily play it picking all notes, but when I have to play it properly, it goes as you can sea on the screenie.

I can't get the hang of a pick still (not for want of trying but it's a skill that's totally underrated and for me, incredibly hard to do) but that Losfer words might encourage me to get good with one because I canne feel my right arm. mred X'd the poop out of it. As I did with Firth of Fifth though I do like that bass line, will work on that :)

 

Love the Stickerbrush Symphony so will be playing that most of the week. (what's left of it) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1188744135

Before I forget, a very slight improvement:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKYl9INEdNRkdQWjQ/view?usp=sharing

 

I've been distracted from playing the other CS songs tonight, and have been playing The Killers instead, 'cos I'm going to watch them next week in Liverpool. :D

After @@Mortalo encouraged me, I shamelessly embraced the pick :) Not everyone can be a Harris.

 

I really need to work on playing faster (and in time...) with both fingers. I have nasty habit of just using one finger... https://drive.google.com/file/d/14jEcCDqdWgLVAym7XQ5RmiCaQ4Sj5lNH/view?usp=sharing (mc bass 99,76). Il have to play some Genesis tomorrow (because how can i not?).

It's not about how many fingers you use, it's what you do with them that counts.

Inching closer to the last one percent.

 

Meh, not a 90 on lead, but good improvement I suppose. And yeah so sick of this song I'm not going to bring up the rhythm any better than before.  Guess I'm getting crisper on the chord changes at least. Oh and I have now been play guitar for 6 months! Rock on! And bass for 3 months.  Years more practice to go, love to look back at this at the end of a full year and see a change.

So are my sisters... I have not been invited. It sucks being the baby, even at 40 I'm considered too young for hanging out with them :(
