i thought i had more time tonight so i warmed up on the bass...... then she arrived home  :angry:

 

still got a couple of scores in though, before being made to watch a load of crap on the telly box

 

 

 

night night all

So far away from an int. 6

 

@@Mortalo - The Rhythm track and lead track are the same on Graveyard - Ain't Fit to Live Here.

First attempts for the week

 

 

I'll take a participation trophy :) but determined to get this song as well as I can - it's fun to play

 

Too tough for beginners

@@Mortalo - The Rhythm track and lead track are the same on Graveyard - Ain't Fit to Live Here.

Yes, it is.

I too felt that it might be a little too difficult for INT, but I really fell out of Championship practice and I listened to the rating posted in SSL.

That solo part would need some work as it's tricky.

 

Too much bending, otherwise it would be fun.

Really now, the 3 is unbalanced...

Or it's my skill which is unballanced?.. Nah that can't be right

To much bending for me.  The score is just a result of luck.  My bending deserves a 1%.

Did not have a bass last time we played this.  Those fast parts are a lot easier to play on a guitar.

Should be able to get 100% with a bit of luck. Very fun to play

 

 

Great song, always liked it.

 

Wednesday? Let's try my class tune!

 

 

Not typically a big fan of Born Again Megadeth, but back when I was first hanging out on the internet, one of my handles was ToxicShadow. I feel a sense of kinship with this one.

 

Riverside and Graveyard are quality picks too, fun week! :)

Heelllooo everyone!

I saw results above... Nothing to do here

Some elbow grease on that opening riff yields a +1, even though I butchered the solo this time. xD

 

Got a little better at this one.

 

Hey @@Vodka good to see ya

What's up @@Telboy ? ))

I wanna back to championship... Once again )))

 

Maybe i'll try it in master next.

Bass

 

I really like this one ! 

and Lead.
