Rock on!

Sneaking up on it, now if I could just play a Dm chord.

 

 

The chords seem to be really messing me up

Got a little better on this one. I do appreciate the competition, @MaZtoR

 

Bass day!  ( i could not bother to tune down for that song)

This week, I will mostly be playing one riff, over and over again...

That bloody pull-off!

 

I've got to do better than last time...

Travelling this week. So I'm not sure I'll get any improvement:

3 chord walk down to Dm is killing me!

 

Really fun song to play. The solos are fast, but not completely ridiculous like Lucretia.. If I can figure out how to hit the 22nd fret notes, I might be able to beat it on ScoreAttack..

 

Barely slept, but still managed to pull this out:

 

It's been 3,2 years since we played Californication last time. 

And for some damn reason i still have problems with those damn Dm chords.

But at lest I'm getting better.

And own a bass.

@@MaZtoR very impressive, you got the 98+ I’ve now played this over 60 times and still can’t get the 98..... still trying...

Better bass:

 

 

Ok, I tried it.

 

this is all i could do for the mastodon bass part. i think i can get it up to the mid 90's, ill try again tomorrow.

ps- how do you make image show on the post instead of the URL?

;)

Little better.

 

My rocksmith cable decided it likes lots and lots of gain, or maybe just feedback.  So tomorrow I'll be trying to finish my week with the acoustic and my mic.  What could go wrong?

--Wren

dhm week, so much stuff all around...

Can't seem to get any of those high E string bends above the 20th at the end, but, some progress on the other parts.
