Rock On!

@@missis sumner challenge accepted but I have a very short week as I’m away for a long weekend, but I’ll give it a go.

Game on :-)

Whomever creates RR sections, human or machine - curses upon thee.

What is wrong with RR sections?   We kinda need them to use RR

@MaZtoR That will be the length. Second riff is prime example of this, pauses with 1-2 tack duration in there is but a slow torture. Splitting it in 3-4 parts would be an obvious choice.

 

Imagine you want to practice only last part in there - the waste of time is tremendous.

 

Spent a little time in RR with this one and then forgot most of what I worked on when I went to play the song.

The version i downloaded (full audio version) of "for whom the bells toll" does not have a lead.  Only bonus lead.  and its 2 sec shorter than the one Loyalsquirrel posted.  Are we using that one or the one with multi tracks?

 

We deffo recomend to use the MT here!

Until now noone was able to provide the updated version (v2) full audio of that chart.

Maybe that can change.

 

Go with the multitracks!

Never fail to make a few stupid mistakes in this one.

 

Ok, that was weird.  It that really what they do for the percussive sound?

My first tries of the week:

 

Always f*cked up the deet-de-de deet-de-de part...

 

Better, I know the song by now and no deet-de-de deet-de-de :)

 

Bass is harder than the guitar parts.

 

Svartsot:

 

 

 

 

Very nice and funny song, Contains at least 5 ways to play the same melody. A little too fast for my skill level, but not too bad. I think Rhythm and Lead should be interchanged, rhythm has most of the melody parts whereas Lead mainly plays chords when the guitars do not play the same lines.

Very nice song thanks for the choice @@MaZtoR !

the opeth one on bass will be a bit longer to learn

 

Ton of work needed on this one.

Nice to finally play something that's my style again. Although I'm already having a semi-hard time trying to avoid misses because most of them seem to be me not being able to switch chords fast enough so I'm missing the end or beginning of chords.

 

 

 

 

Also, I don't recall changing my pfp so there's some treachery going on here

INT Rhythm is below - lots of trouble with that descending power chord set at s8 and 9, and of course the nice g-string main lead riff: 

 

Beg Lead: I don't really like to play this song, so I'm not going to play it anymore, but nice to listen to. 

 

and the adv lead is fun, but hard to hit right.  THe forgiving nature of Learn a Song allows me to flail along quite nicely.

 

Here's one I did earlier:

I'm putting yesterday's poor effort down to cable issues:

It was just refusing to register any notes towards the end of the song.

There is not much room for improvement for me this week.

Not much indeed, only 0.4% left in adv lead  :D
