Rock On!

 

 

Keep failing out of this one in score attack on the bend parts

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

 

I noticed it, almost like half-tone!

 

 

@@Rodman Left me on read last week bro. How do you get the gog award? I probably won't get it for a while but it's nice to have a goal.

First trys (kind of)

 

Must try harder!

@@Stark_Knight

@@Rodman Left me on read last week bro. How do you get the gog award? I probably won't get it for a while but it's nice to have a goal.

 

Best things in life are free, so is that thimble of ignorance ;) - sorry for that, didn´t forget just no real time.

 

So - The GoG Award is a challenge cup. No points awarded, after 2-weeks competition it is handed over to the winner until a next winner takes it away.

 

The actual situation: @@JokerTheAnarchist has won it in week 237/238 Calderone GoG competition, and at the end of the ronning week (GoG 2/2) the winner gets it.

 

R.

 

...

 

 

King gizzard and the lizard wizard in a blizzard

@@Rodman No worries, I figured you were probably busy or swamped with other notifications. Interesting that it's traded and not a permanent award. Means I'm gonna have to keep working a lot more if I wanna get as good as joker.

Finaly!!

Stop! WAT?

 

And Rhy update.

managed to get half an hour in today on songs i have never heard of before, straight in at the deep ends to speak,

 

 

 

 

i did have a Megadeth Rhythm run but i forgot the screen shot  ;)

 

which is just as well as it wasn't very good to say the least,

 

night night all

Love the Opeth song. I had never heard it before. Spent some time working on Megadeath. Not my favorite song by them, but damn, it's fun to play.

 

 

 

Can I voluntarily move up to Masterclass? It's been extremely difficult to stay atop the Advanced division. I feel like @@MaZtoR has really made me a much better player just trying to beat his scores every week. I truly appreciate the competition. It's time to push myself a little harder and really work on the master solos.

 

And a big thanks to @@Mortalo, @@Rodman and anyone else I missed that puts this championship together each week. It certainly keeps me playing more than I would otherwise.

 

Keep Rockin!

UPLEVELING NEWS:

 

@@MellonFarmer levels up to MC LEAD! Congrats - yes, that´s deffo where you belong!

 

 

You have left me with no chance over the last months, i´d be very pleased if i will ever reach the level you are now.

How long have you been playing by now?

 

Have fun at MC and make sure to give Stark, John, Joky, Nick, Kos and Kid G a damn hard time over there!

Enough of bass this week, I need to concentrate on lead and rhythm :)

 

 

This has to be the easiest MC level ever... Megadeth is much harder!

Score update, looks like I'm gonna have to start practicing Evile some more as well

 

@@Rodman, I guess I've been playing Rocksmith for about 6 years now. I know I have terrible practice habits and should be better, but I try to get better at something every time I pick up the guitar. I spent some time in RR for this and got a slight improvement. I hope focusing more on practicing the difficult solos will give me my next skill jump. Certainly feels like I'm on the right track.

 

I'll give the MC players all I got. I know some of these guys are great on the more technical stuff. I don't know all of it yet, but that's why we're here, right?

 

My most sweaty bullet yet

This is the first time I do this so I don't know if this is how I am supposed to do it.

 

Advance lead - Opeth - Harvest

 

https://ibb.co/eAqhco

 

Intermediate Lead - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Sleep Drifter

 

https://ibb.co/cKX3Ho

 

Just in case I want to say that I'd like to be in the Advance Lead class.

 

Also I had to make the photographs with my mobile phone because I can't make screenshots in my PC (it's just a white image). I will try to fix this.

 

 

Some Improvement,

 

hard work for me....... but i was going well until my G string went pop,

 

i'll re string tomorrow 

 

 

 

and welcome @@Dardo

 

night night all,

Definitely not my favourite state to be

 

Best I got without RR
