Rock On!

 

Welcome to the Championship @@Dardo

welcome @@Dardo - great you are here.

 

Quite a good start that is!

Hey @Dardo, welcome!

Just a tip since you are new to this: if you play in Learn A Song mode your score is the accuracy, so without decimals (the big yellow number is somewhat bugged sometimes). You played quite good in that run, so consider playing the next ones in Score Attack mode, because there your score has decimals and that number is not bugged. Look at this as "better accuracy chance". 

 

All of this is also explained in the championship rules section, though since week is almost over (it ends at about saturday evening, central european time) you may want to have this clarified and take advantage of it.

 

Enjoy!

3 weeks on the road with no championship. It was inhumane. Good to be back!

Found some time for Megadeth, rhythm guitar:

 

 

That was a good run, until I f*cked up the bends at the end. 12gauge strings in E-Standard is tiring the fingers. It sounded ok, though.

 

slight improvement ......... the new strings helped,

 

 

Although the Megadeth tune is helping the strings bed in it is starting to rip my finger tips from my nails with those bloody bends, plus i'm scared of breaking another string.......

 

night night all

Shit..... i Just noticed the Panther is in the 97'S   :(

@@Anwyn I could not get those bends to recognize either.   I need to figure out what I am doing wrong.  Hopefully I won't need to bend like @@Telboy

Thanks dude! It's great to know everyone here is so nice

As usual on a Friday night i promise myself a beer or two if i can improve on my previous score..... no improvement = no Beer

 

up into the 97's, right on the Panthers tail.

 

 

 

Equal to the Rodman's great score but check out that streak  :P

 

 

silly mistakes due to nerves,

 

off for a Guinness now so no more Guitaring for me tonight........ alcohol does not improve guitar playing i have noticed

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/916926778236540175/7D9E2E7AF74AF390D5E794ADA870C8F1041244E2/

Too sore this week for more.

Not enough guitar and too much work this week :(

Lead:

Rhythm:

No time to do RR on these so that's there...

 

How do you have the time to be sleep drifting and still release five albums a year?

 

last update, i think,

 

 

i just could not get to grips with this, even though i got the bends i made a right mess of the rest,

 

 

bass was fun though

 

 

i lost count how many times i restarted this one, single string stuff is really not my thing........ give me chords  :)

 

although i did think i had beaten the Panther 

 

oh well the next week is coming

it's a good song but so boring to play that i had trouble keeping a notestreak, it should be on intermediate not master class.

@ I agree, I would have spent more time to get the 100% if it was INT

Megadeth was harder

As long as the week is not closed, I post some improvements as I go.

better...

 

New week incoming, cross fingers for no connection issues on my side :ph34r:

And rhythm, quick...

 

Edit: Arghh, @@Mortalo was here already!

@@Anwyn Sneaky me :ph34r:
