Looks like my score last week got missed.  It was close to the line though, was it after it was closed?

Bass time, never heard the songs except the Moonlight Shadow, which should also be Intermediate :)

 

1. Don't like this song so I won't be playing it again

 

2. Suggest adding this to Intermediate, difficulty 4

 

3. I thought Pink was some boring radio stuff but this song is actually fun to play and listen to! Difficulty closer to 5 rather than 6.

 

4. Got humbled by this song, too fast and octaves make me confused. I guess I'll be in Advanced for a long time until I can play songs like this :) I'd personally rate it as 7

 

5. On the other hand, MC song this week isn't bad... but I still can't play the fast parts, will try slowing it down with RR later and try to get up to speed

Guitar time, had a chance to play all songs

1. Kinda boring, bass is way more interesting :)

 

 

Quite hard for an intermediate song

 

And I also played lead... even though it's not on the championship. This would probably be good for a MC :) Or may be I just suck

More songs... above my skill

Actually, not so bad...

 

Even tried the MC Lead and it seems doable with a few more months of playing and RR

 

After playing the last song, Adv Lead seems so much easier :)

Guys, somebody is offering me an Asian Fender Telecaster (not Squire) in great condition, about one year old for $400. Would you buy it? Not really interested in playing metal.

Scores from last week fixed.

Hmmm... been reading a bit about that now

 

if its FAKE (one of those or equal):

https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-telecaster-guitar.html

Hands off!

 

If it´s legit fender (they do produce in asia also) word in the forums is that quality is well ok for the lower price.

 

I personally would check the actual price of the specific model offered and also just give it a play to decide!

If you're not interested on in playing it with metal type songs what's the point? I wouldn't buy.

@@Rodman can I stay intermediate for lead and rhythm?  I feel that I'm not ready for advance just yet.

I didn't win bass intemediate   ;)

1st attempts.

 

 

 

I can't hear the song, the quality is not that good.

 

 

This feels like I'm in a Disney movie, needs work.

I had to repair this CDLC with CustomsForge song manager, limit it to 5 tracks and now it will play without crashing.

 

 

what do we have?

 

a nice easy cooldownweek before 250.

4 really fun to play and listen to songs, esp. Highly Suspect, man what a cool voice!

Have Fun!

 

 

Yey, I'm glad you liked Highly Suspect, I really like this band.

By the way the singer had the opportunity to join Stone Temple Pilots for their comeback, but he refused to continue his own project, pretty badass ;)

It's okay I moved up. Can't really compete but at least it'll get me attempting the ADV Rhythm more frequently.  :D
