Final score

Never attempted to play anything this fast before.  It's nice to be taken out of my comfort zone!

 

Not much practice time last week, and going to be bad this week too. But vacation coming soonish!

Keep up the good work all.  Lets see if I can squeeze out a little more on the bass before I go to work.

--Wren

I don't usually attempt Metallica. I respect the Pre-Black albums too much to balls them up publicly http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1340652018 But I love this song so I thought I'd have a bash :)

Alright there's the last minute.

Good news I won't be getting out of intermediate anytime soon.

Lead:

Update ADV bass:

 

I could do better, but time is almost over. Really fun to play.

 

Opeth rhythm:

Someone in the score put me on the top of MC rhythm, but I have not 91% on it. It must be a mistake.

This week is now closed! New week incoming!
