Rock On!

New bass for this week! Not used to it yet, but hell of a lot of fun on this tune. I'll update the score tomorrow night, kinda blistered my fingers a little this week with the new toy and all.

And I think I can improve this a bit more as well.  Pretty sure I can get worse as well, but we'll go with the improve.

--Thanks for keeping the championship going all!!

Wren

Still improving on this one. Not sure where my ceiling is yet..

C'mon - you know the drill.  Where are the pictures? :)

 

(Edit - Of the bass not your fingers!)

Got it heavily played and slightly mistreated, so got a great deal.  Took it a part, gave it a lot of cleaning and some polish. A little love made it look much much better.  Trying to find a truss rod cover for it.  And then I just have to fix a gash in the back, think I'm probably going to leave the gash, but stain it to keep it better preserved.

It's gorgeous!

That was tough.

Can anybody shot a video for Poisonous Shadows please?

some scores for the week, another late start on a guitar (or rather strings) that don't like D

 

 

I have no idea why but i like this tune.

 

 

not as easy as the @@MaZtoR makes it look though

 

 

a bit easier

 

now on to the more difficult stuff.....for me anyway.

 

Not my first go I promise

out of my league I think

@@wrentheseedling that looks very nice indeed

After playing with shoddy pickups, trying multiple times and of course cursing in more than one language because of these insane bends, I got this (first time without strikes):

Played with a pick for this run. Felt odd.

So close....

Been busy and hardly played over the past couple of weeks and i can tell. So here's a bunch of first & last rusty playthroughs. Apart from lead Afloat, played it couple more times as it's a really nice chilled song and a buddy of mine been playing it and recently got 99.5%.

Lead :

 

 

Rhythm:

 

Bass: 

 

Hurry with next weeks picks so i got something to sink my teeth into.

My Realtone cable has broken - so plaing with a generic cable.  It's not too bad, but I think I need to sort the settings out as the input volume is awfully high, and causing uncalled for misses, honest.
