Rock On!

After a bunch of restarts on lead i gave up and gave rhythm and bass a try.  But no 100% there either.

Betterment.

 

Completely failed all speedy parts....

Speaking about realtone cable...

Found something interesting. Actually I thought something like this must be exist... And here it is.

Heya, first time doing one of these.

 

I got rekt pretty hard, could barely play the song on the beginner track (let alone on hard).

Cracked the 97%!

 

 

Welcome @@dihy!

My submission for bass masterclass!

Opeth - The Funeral Portrait 99.65%

 

This is my first time participating. Is it just as easy as putting the link to the image here?

Yes. Welcome!

New to this whole championship thing, so here goes nothing!

 

You can see both my Bass score (large number in the pic) and my Lead Guitar score (under Other Arrangements)

 

I can get separate screenshots if needed.

Welcome @@BigOrca38 !

 

You need to post a screenshot showing accuracy and streak. These are the relevant numbers. The 'Learn a Song' score is not meaningfull for the championship. Please read the rules.

Probably last scores for this week...

I can confidently play this song at 90% and make a few misses... but 100% is a mess :) surprised I got 95%, I could barely keep up

 

Small improvement here. I don't like this song so won't try again

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty good score for Metallica. While at it, I also played Leper Messiah and Murder One and got 95% on both easily :)

 

 

 

No matter how many times I tried, I can't get 100%... random notes misses, even though I can play it from memory now :(

 

I feel like I am about to have a break through with this one.  I can play both solos close to perfect at 100% in RR, now I need to translate that to score attack.  Also, still getting piles of misses in the chord sections.

 

Slight improvement in % 

When does this week run to? I'm thinking of having a crack at it tonight!

FINALLY!!!!!     :D :D :D

Sadly the score is to low to actually make any difference,  but I'm still happy.

2/2 plays @ 100% today.    I think i can play this song now.  :)

I know its worse score but i wanna show off.

Enough of this. Somehow RS doesn't like my power chords, only in this song.

I just don't get it, 'cos I've registered a few 100% on other songs tonight, but then again it just fails to register anything mid-way through a song.

@@dihy - Welcome, keep playing.

@missis-sumner  Are you sure the issue is not with your computer?  I have had many an audio recording interface lose a connection to the computer over the years.
