Rock On!

 

First plays... helps being in New Zealand, it's Sunday morning here :)

 

Beginner rhythm: Insomnium - The Gale (2) (D std) - easy. Missed a few notes because I couldn't hear anything but my guitar

 

Beginner lead: Insomnium - The Gale (2) (D std) 

 

 

 

Intermediate:  Opeth - Harvest (5) - some weird chords there but should be easy with practice

 

Advanced lead: Opeth - Harvest (6) - whoa, 90%! Can't imagine playing the fast solo parts but the rhythm is exactly the same as Int rhythm so...

Intermediate lead:   King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Sleep Drifter (5)   

This song sounds so weird...

 

Also tried to play Megadeth. Helps that I heard this song so many times so it made it much easier to play even though beyond my skill level. 100% on both lol. I don't understand it!

 

 

Megadeth - Sweating Bullets (Bass): http://www.imgim.com/20180603064630_1.jpg

Time for bass... all played with pick because I have a horrible red/purple blister on my finger :(

 

Beginner:        Insomnium - The Gale (1). As expected 100% here :)

 

Intermediate:  Opeth - Harvest (5). I'd say this one is 4. Easy.

 

Advanced:      Megadeth - Sweating bullets (6). And this one is more like (7), it goes really fast during the solo

 

 

Masterclass:  King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Sleep Drifter (7). Definitely easier than Megadeth :)

firsts, what a nice week!

 

 

 

Not sure if this is how it works

@@ZeroPingNZ the 100% mastery is a bug from the remastered patch.  You can fix the songs with the customsforge song manager if it bothers you.

I had already play Sweating Bullets and Harvest, so there were easier to me.

 

 

 

not a very good try, mini +

A new week. Easy mode first on this warm Sunday evening.

 

 

 

 

I've got to get used to the rhythm of my job so it's "good" there is no MC rhythm this week (no pun intended) and only one song I have to focus on. 

Results after some RR on the solo bit:

 

Megadeth: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1402335991

 

I Used to love this song when I was a kid :D It's really flippin' good fun to play too :D

 

Vijo:

 

My camera mic was active for some reason so there is a little bit of noise out my face at the end. I have a cold. I am sincerely not as mannish as I sound ... or look   :lol:

I am not in the docs in Sleep Drifter Lead :) Add my score please.

So frustrating... several notes along the way just don't register no matter what. Played it countless times in RR and still can't get them right.

@@ZeroPingNZ try to not press so hard on the frets.  D tuning can be a bit sensitive if you have thin strings.

Some improvements
