Rock On!

April Fool's, I'm late! That's how it works, right?

 

Interesting crop of songs this week - Intermediate lead gets another (less metal) challenge, MC bass gets a classic gem from a few years back, and everyone else gets EMOTIONAL BALLADS! :sob:

 

And if you're a god of guitar...

Great pack of songs! This week is going to be fast... :lol:

Boooyaaaaaa!!!! What a week!

And its a 3-5-7. too. so get your uplevel skills together!!!!!

 

Rock!!

1st tries

Wonderful Angra, it's a pity sections are so long. I'd like to try the fast bits of the solo but I have to play also the slower (and more easy) part.

Who doesn't at least try Master of Puppets is a bad person.

bass... nice line

better

i fear i gotta fasten my seatbelt now...

 

helluva ride... 212%, yeah, where 100 is too much....

 

http://up.picr.de/32276387io.jpg

absolutely a bad bad person he who doesn´t do at least one try,,, sure!

 

Nice pick, will be fun working on this one.  Not sure if I agree with that E (B string) on that C in the acoustic part.  Open B instead maybe?  Will need to give it a close listen later.

First time playing and hearing all these... except for the MoP, of course.

 

1. The Dear Hunter - so easy. There are a few things where I got 100% on the 1st try but I usually have listened to them countless times... this one is an exception :)

 

2. Judas Priest. Got couple notes wrong, I suppose. Easy.

 

3. This one will need practicing but besides some bass fills, doesn't seem complicated at all.

 

 

4. Vulfpeck is definitely beyond my skill level... I thought I actually was doing better than 60% :)

 

5. Why no bass for MoP? Should probably try the real song too.

first tries on Bass.

 

 

 

Weird chords, haven't got to practicing them yet.

day off work today so..... more scores

 

 

 

 

 

 

and because i did not want to be considered a bad person , i tried  the Metalica racket  :P

 

 

Decent Performance my arse  :D

Decent first run, which probably means it's gonna be close and competitive this week

 

 

 

Once I hit 200% this song started to physically hurt me and my will to live. If we're gonna do a meme chart then lets do a full on meme week with crazy charts but without the "but every time..." one's.

Im not used to this chords but im gonna try to improve it. 
Also is kinda annoying that I have to wait half the music for it to finish  :wacko:

Had to try Metallica lead, of course:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1350542242

 

 

1. The Dear Hunter - will try again later, I want my 100% back :)

 

 

2. Same as above

 

3. Not sure why I played it but it would also be good beginners. Difficulty (2) or so

 

4. The best I got before trying with the RR

This is a dovnright vile selection for INT Lead. The song is cool, but my arpeggios are weak. First time I tried, I had 82%. It will be hard work to get it to 97%. After working on it all evening, reached the nineties at last.

 

 

I think some scores were left on the board from last week.

 

I have scrubbed @@Fandaru, @@Rodman, @@Anwyn and adjusted @@Telboy's scores off Adv Rhythm, and taken @@MellonFarmer's off GoG.

 

If you could all check your latest scores are all up there, and there are no spurious ones, that'd be grand!

 

(Also the sort function appears to be broken on GoG...)

@@missis sumner I quite liked my spurious score hahaha
