Farewell, Mal!

That´s no way to die for a fxin master!

My score Adv class:

And beg:

This week has to many songs, I'm working my way through.

Tried the beginner song, quite nice.

 

 

Then Nightwish, put a little more effort into this...

 

 

and checked out Lead afterwards. The riff is to fast for me, I need to RR it.

It’s a bit unfortunate that I won’t get any scores this week as I have been sent to Portland Oregon at very short notice.

Hopefully I’ll get back on Saturday to get a quick go but I doubt it :-(

Jet lagged and pissed off but found a bar.

 

Next time you travel, try to stay at a Hard Rock they will lend you a guitar and an amp. Take your laptop with RS and some headphones and you'll never miss a beat.

 

 

Two words... travel bass

Here we go =)

@@Rodman, I need you to keep saying @RSjeffH - is now at INT LEAD several more times as the Guitar Playing magic did not all transfer over to me! Am I crying maybe, am I down leveling...No.

 

Here's my first post, I feel like I am totally out of control and flailing but I have 3 more days.

 

Well... Jeff....

 

1)

@RSjeffH - is now at INT LEAD

2)

100 pts out of 100 in 10 weeks might not be sooooo bad of a progress, nor do i find an 87 in the next class on the 4th try that humiliating

 

3)

whenever you may struggle keep that words of wise @@Gamut in mind (said after upleveling to mc back then)

 

"Really my class? - of course it is!"

 

 

May i add one cent of my (?)wisdom:

 

"EAT - SLEEP - ROCK - REPEAT!!!!!"

@Rodman  Thanks, I have been set straight and will continue to "EAT - SLEEP - ROCK - REPEAT!!!!!"

Huhu, looks like the 99% is not too far

Cheers

after 10 more repeats a little improvement on Interm lead : 99.24%

 

Thanks for ruining my nights Rocksmith...

Huhu, looks like the 99% is not too far

 

 

Indeed. Improvements on home turf.

 

@@RSjeffH I think you are in Int Lead now lol

I’m looking forward to you pushing me on..... I obviously prefer Rhythm and Bass but need a little incentive to get better at Lead, I’m missing @@Vodka and @@Rodman for that but I believe you’ll push me as hard as they did :-)

 

Welcome to Intermediate Lead

2 bands that are always on every type of device that can play music. PC, Laptop, Car, Phone, TV, Sauna, Shower. That reminds me. i really need to get one of those Refrigerators that have tv and radio built in....

 

 

Wow dismal improvements this week.  I just can't get those chord transitions going, D to Cm to A. Sounds like crap, I can hit D then if I skip the Cm then hit the A I can get a nearly passable score, but then of course it doesn't sound much like the main riff of the song anymore.  Probably work on it one more time this week, then put it in my practice rotation just for the three damn chords.

--Wren

This was pretty much a perfect score for me.  Only misses was in the fast part in the middle that i cant play.  No extra misses at all. :)

I used to be a guitarist, give me back my pick please...

@@MaZtoR In middle (and intro) the song bad finger positions. More easy change 2fr-2str to 4fr 3str - normal scale. And i doubt that there all right with notes and pm, and missed HoPo. And yet offsynced beatmap.

ps. I look in eof, there need a lot changes, cdlc need rebuild with start, i`m pass. :)

99% stays elusive, but I have so many repeats under my belt now, I can easily play master mode.

 

 

And a small rhythm improvement.
