Rock On!

Just checked the leaderboard and i have spent exactly 200 weeks in advanced so far.  Only 5 in beginner and 29 in intermediate.

Times flies when you are having fun.

Was on the road earlier this week, so haven't had but a few runs on Funhouse

 

With no beginner rhythm I took a stab at intermediate

 

I took a stab on bass...

Small improvements

Woa - numbers!

Lets see myself, start week 38 uplevel to int week 50 on beatles, so 13 in beg

uplevel to adv on the D week 161, so 111 in int

and 87 in adv so far

 

Yea, time flies having fun but on the other hand browsing the CS google sheet i remember every other week and starting on that feels like a long long long time ago.

 

Btw

@@Jje00 I seem to need to wrap the IMG tag in a URL block to make it work.  There could be other ways to do this.  I tried to post an example of what it looks like but it just pulled up your funhouse screenshot.

Some progress on beginner lead....tight competition this week!

I noticed a few people had a go at the Master Mode on the Pink! song .......... so i had to wait 2 days to give it a crack, (Work & Family commitments)(Grand daughters are lovely but they play hell with the Guitaring !

 

 

Pleased with this.... but i missed a bloody note  :angry:

haha nice score @@diceslinger

Ah, but your streak is longer.  I'll have to find a little time tonight to give it another go!

haha nice score @@diceslinger

I think this is me done for the week. Anyone gets the 100% then well done!

 

My first song learned properly by memory on guitar, never guessed it would be by Pink  :lol:   

 

Fun week though.

 

Hard:

 

 

Master:

I was going to say that I was throwing down the gauntlet and the challenge was on, but then @@MentalSharps drops not only a better score, but a master mode score as well!  Nicely done!  

 

As I am chasing Rocksmith trophy (the first one, not 2014) on bass, I had to give this week a go:

I'm in awe of the scores some maestros achieve with this song, this seems the best I can do for now:

 

 

Rhythm did not get the time it deserves

 

 

same with ADV Lead

 

Yeah about time for a vacation, let's see what scores I can get with vacation time.

 

 

I'll stream the progress as often as possible don't expect much.  Feel free to stop by and say hi.
