Tribute to LaceyB

Prince and the Others - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Some of you might heard that the one and only bass chartin' dudette has lost her battle with cancer. I had a good relation with her and decided to make this tribute. It's not Prince's song, it' George Harrison's one, performed as a tribute to him by many great musicians, including Prince on solo. It seems to be a nice tribute to Lacey.

Rest in peace lady.

Astonishingly hard for such a simple song.

 

Got a small improvement on Dire Straits

 

And played some bass as well

 

Much work to do here...

 

So far much harder than the lead track for me

This is a lot of fun to play. 

Another great week and another week I feel like I'm not able to play enough

 

Slight Improvements

 

 

Fun song to play, Opeth is becoming one of my favorite bands to play

 

Getting random misses all over the place.

I doubt I'll be able to beat my own score any time soon... really tried to concentrate on not messing it up :)

1st time I have played this version

I really like Dire Straits :D

Dancing in the moonlight.

Can anybody beat my low score? :D

 

Same song but on LAS...

 

And got a small improvement in rhythm. It's definitely too hard for beginners, but probably ok for Int

 

ALso very small improvement on Bass

Too many XX's back to learn.
