Congrats to all winners. Well done!

 

 

This week's songs are:

 

Lead Path:

 

Beginner:      Motorhead - Louie Louie (3)   

Motorhead? Beginner? With Fast Eddie's solo? Yes it is a reality :)

 

Intermediate:  The Beatles - Help! (4)

One of the biggest classics of one of the biggest bands of all time.

 

Advanced:      Scorpions - Wind of Change (6)   (@PC Plum's version)

Big song that happened when communism was leaving Europe to give us some freedom.

 

Masterclass:   Santana - Europa (8)

How long it took us to finally play some Carlos Santana? Way too long. Prepare your bending skills, 'cause you will need them.

 

God of Guitar: Racer X - Scarified (Eb Standard) (10) - we are going to play both Lead and Rhythm as a GoG - winner will be selected by the best sum of both arrangements!

Don't be scared, try it at least :lol: What an amazing and short instrumental. I wish you all 100% here one day.

 

Rhythm Path:

Beginner:     Motorhead - Louie Louie (2)

Beginner 2:     The Beatles - Help! (3)

Intermediate: Scorpions - Wind of Change (4)

Advanced:    Simon & Garfunkel - A Hazy Shade of Winter (6) as played on week 84

I know only two S&G songs and that's one of them. And it's so good.

 

Masterclass: Pantera - Cemetery Gates (8) (official song) as played on week 148

Pantera - one of the greatests metal bands of all time. Sadly, on June 22nd, Vinnie Paul, Pantera's drummer and brother to late Dimebag Darrell died. Week 250 is a great way to pay a tribute to him.

I gave Hazy Shade a shot because I heard a version on the radio by The Bangles.  I thought, hey, that doesn't sound too hard.  Yeah, I was wrong.

@@Sebb Your pictures are only thumbnails.  Its to small to see.

First tries Bass.

I saw Motorhead back in the 80's at the Bol D'or 24 hour motorbike race in the south of France....... they had no trouble playing loud enough to drown out the 40 or so screaming Motorbikes,   :lol:

 

anyway, scores,

 

 

nice and easy start,

 

not so easy as i kept missing notes.... i blame the hot weather.

 

 

Straight into Master Mode anybody ?

 

 

some other good scores......

 

 

 

And some not so good scores, or Subpar as the RS guy calls it

 

 

 

 

Excellent my arse.

 

 

Superb i dont think so.........but in fairness it sounded a lot worse than the score suggests 

 

 

night night all

Hi! Great a songs this week!  It is interesting to learn.

I know I can do better but I'm travelling this week so just posting what I've got for now.

 

 

Nice set of songs this week. Wish I had more time to play.

@@MaZtoR  realized it yesterday aswell and fixed it

Great songs this week and I can't really play :( Some scores that I managed to get today:

 

Some misses on chords :(

 

Some parts need practice.

 

Tried Score Attack, vjohnal's style ;)

 

Couldn't resist some Pantera. Way too short fingernail to hit those pinch harmonics.

Hmmm, the only progress I made last night is for a song way above my class.  Oh well, I really enjoy mangling this song.  I have added 15 minutes in the Temple of the Bends to my practice routine to finally get better at bends.  Long overdue!

I can only really play the intro part, learned it a while back and its super fun. The rest though...

So damn typical.  Missed some damn random notes in the middle, but nailed every single note in the solo.

Having a fun time working on this in guitar pro.  I really like that high speed string skipping sound.  I have some tiny parts of it up to speed.  However, playing it straight through in rocksmith...gulp... 

 

Eeee gad, I guess I should have tried this with a pick as well.
