^Did the lead for the Foreigner song alot harder on the solo than i though expected pentatonic stuff   :wacko:

 

91.93%

Aehm... seems my scores for last week have not been recorded.

I had 86% at INT Lead (Streak 87) and 97.76% at INT rhythm.

See post #75 last week.

Same with my bass masterclass score  :(

So this week's beginner lead is an exercise in controlling instrument on distortion huh.  :wacko:

For bass, I'd say The Foreigner song is more difficult than Prodigy's

My impressions:

Foreigner - Blue Morning, Blue Day (4)

The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die (3)

Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow (6) 

Red Fang - Prehistoric Dog (5) 

 

 

 

 

 

Got this without even trying :)

 

Easy as well, just need to practice some fills

Top notch performance. Yeah, lol

 

Won't even try...

First run on guitar.

Red Fang - Prehistoric Dog - I can't make the link work in OP.

Fixed in OP.

ohhhh Glasgow kiss... I failed thee well a few months ago with a shambolic attempt on twitch. luckily my max viewers has been 6 people so the shame was isolated. may try it again later but I am pretty sure it's going to be a futile attempt :)

bad but fun 1st tries

For bass, I'd say The Foreigner song is more difficult than Prodigy's

Prodigy is much faster and that's the reason why I felt that it is more difficult.

Nice song.

 

That part that looks weird is a "hand-shape", there were some confusion about that in the past, you should play each note as indicated while holding a chord shape.

@@Anwyn and @@Syvaa thx for pointing this out, sorted and changed winners.

94% on Iron Maiden. I didn't think I'd like the song, but playing it is interesting. I'll try a few more times htis week:

I found this video and it's quite interesting. Anybody else play like this? I tried and can't really do it, I guess it's a matter of getting used to it

96.99 on Iron Maiden. I don't understand why I keep getting wrong notes on the arpeggios, when I'm not moving my fingers at all. *Sigh*

After "learning" the solo.

,,, and a proper Score Attack.

 

To me, the 5th fret A string bend needs to be a bit sharp to register.

 

Feels nice to win for once, wonder how long its gonna stay that way?

 

 

hopefully I can raise this one with a bit more practice

 

 

Haven't played this one in a while so I'm gonna need a lot of practice, hope to raise it to at least 90%. Either way I'm always happy to play something by JP even if I can't play it that well.

 

 

@ don't forget to let me know how the pedal is when you get it

@@Stark_Knight  Will do, thanks again for the tip!

Slight improvement. Weird, I'm still the only one who played this song. Where are all the beginners? :)
