Rock on!

i really gotta say a few things about that week, when i have time in a few minutes ;)

 

Merry Christmas, everyone!

 

Well, while i was deep in xmas selection playing and diff-rating all available xmas - themed songs ;) @@avdocatwork joined in showing up as a real xmas head, too.

I really wanted ACDC - Mistress for christmas for the selection and was about to start charting it, but @avdocat had already started to, and as things got tricky he worked for 3 days on it nonstop to get it into the championship this, and not next year!!!!!

 

Thx for that, thx goes also out to the Classic Rock Coalitions other 2 songs in that selection, all charted mainly by @advocatwork !

 

Thx to @Noony for her great bass input!

 

Thx to @frippendip - Rudi is back in rhythm, great production, strange chords, pleasure to play.

 

What do we have? Ramones, Ventures, AC/DC. L´Arc, frippendip and Vulfpeck... nuff said

 

(I wish it would be christmas every week ;) - selections for it ... i would be prepared)

 

-= Rock around the christmas tree and have a real great last week of that strange year! =-

Christmas season = crazy season, so this may be my only entry his week.  Thanks noony for the great advance bass track.

I normally refuse to play Christmas music on or after boxing day, but the Ventures are instrumental, and there is an instrumental version of Christmas in L.A., so I may make an exception.

 

Merry Christmas to all.

@@Rodman I submitted intermediate rhythm give it to me.

Damn, I don't think I've ever butchered a song this much since I joined the championship :lol:

I mean, it does say 90%, but in reality, I'm sure it's more like 60% :blink:

Wot, no Shakey?  :lol:

 

:ph34r:

Damn, had a real blast playing both of these songs even though they're not what I usually plays/listen to :D

 

 

 

 

 

Also, Merry Xmas all! 

HOHOHO Everybody!!! Merry XMass and a Happy New Year!!! =)

Almost forgot how score attack is nervously =0

 

 

@@Nick k, I'd take your 90% butcher any day.  I am curious if I can make the song sound OK after a week.

I can't type nothing on here without the screen jumping about?  not sure I can post any scores as it's a frickin ball ache to keep the message box still enough to copy and paste. it's took 10 minutes to post this sentence. Can barely read anything on the record pages either because of it :(

@noony, yikes...maybe try a different web browser (if have not already).  I wonder what is going on?

Hi Guys,

 

  I thought I would just add my poor playthroughs to this great thread, on my Chart of Mistress For Christmas.

 

 

Later, avdocatwork

First time participating in the championship. I knew AC/DC would be easy but come on... this is 1 out of 10 and certainly easier than Blitzkrieg Bop :)

 

Looks like I took the screen capture a bit too late... anybody knows how to see the longest streak and accuracy? 

 

Really struggling with the chords (bass) in Ramones song... Rocksmith doesn't seem to recognize them at all

Merry Christmas!

 

Welcome @@ZeroPingNZ! You will need to play AC/DC again to see streak and %.

For the 10 weeks leaderboard and the trophies....

 

Mistress for christmas rhy beg/int is treated as bonus class just for fun.

 

Beginner Bass Players - please tell us if you want Ramones or the really easy AC/DC Track scored!

 

Thx!

Who's ready to play every song ever on championship? I'm willing to play every song if someone else will do it with me.

Seems the adverts have been fixed now (thank you admins whoever is on the techy web upkeep stuff). Wasn't my browser it was the 4 identical adverts on the web page going off in a round restarting the web page back at the top everytime I tried to type something. May have some scores tomorrow, pending on the food hangover :).

I've worked in retail for 23 years now. So Christmas music gives me a bit of anxiety.  I personally observe no holidays.  But I won't begrudge anyone theirs.  I sight read each piece just once and here's what I got.  Going to practice something else this week.  Enjoy your holiday season all and see you next week!

 

 

--As always thanks to both the moderators and the participants for keeping the championship going each week!

Wren

I can't get the 22nd fret notes to register, no matter what I've tried so far..

 

Got a slightly lower score but at least captured the screen!

And Ramones...

I can't play those chords! Hope somebody will do a video on this song.
