Rock On!

@@Gamut Vektor is Santana.

Wouldn't be a Gamut week without me messing up a link. :lol:

Bass songs are really fun this week! Only played beginner and intermediate so far (can't be bothered to downtune to D tonight)

Only missed a note or two on each due to detection issues so I'll have to replay them but can't say I feel to bad about that  :D.

First attempts

int lead 76% ouch!

int rythym 88% okay

https://ibb.co/fMswLz

https://ibb.co/kM1CtK

Had another few plays and a bit better

int rythym 91.98%

lead 88%

https://ibb.co/fpPXtK
https://ibb.co/cN2wLz

goodnight for now will try later.

Ah, much better. I can't stop listening to this song :O

Ah, much better. I can't stop listening to this song :o

 

same here and I don't speck a word of German… OJ.  

but I've down tuned to d standard and I'm not  leaving till I'm bleeding.

Hahaha I thought it was French? (Unless you're making a joke)

Hmm..I guess I might as well then

Tough songs this week!

 

1. Beginner:     CPM - Irreversivel (3). This one is definitely too hard for beginners, goes too fast, I could barely keep up before warming up a bit. Tried playing it with both fingers and pick, it's definittely easier with the pick and I got the same score both times

 

 

2. Intermediate:  BB Brunes - Dis Moi (6). Challenging but a right fit for (6). 

 

3. Advanced:     Ghost - Body and Blood (6) (D Standard). I'd probably put this one as (7)

 

4. Holy shit, what's that :) Needs a lot of RR to play the intro and couple more tricky parts

Rhythm time

1. Beginner:     CPM - Irreversivel (2). Quite easy but still sounds good!

 

2. Intermediate: BB Brunes - Dis Moi (5). Need to practice those chords...

Lead time

1. Beginner:      CPM - Irreversivel (3)

 

2. Advanced:      BB Brunes - Dis Moi (6). I'd suggest swapping the Int and Adv songs, Ghost is much more difficult to play. The lead for this one is almost exactly the same as rhythm

 

3. Intermediate:  Ghost - Body and Blood (5). Put that as Advanced 6 :)

As an absolute beginner bass player (only had the bass for < 2 weeks) I probably won't be able to submit this week. I just don't have the chomps to do the finger style for that song. I can't even play it at 80% in RR. :( And no I'm not going to use a pick if it's fingered. I'll never learn to finger style if I never finger style. ;)

 

I'll just have to practise more and more and more and more and I'll eventually get there. 

 

Sad considering that I didn't have too much issue last week... :(

OK, so it's not just me then. Good to know.  :D

Bass Masterclass!

Rhythm Stuff first:

 

 

 

Aaaand Vektor is way above my comfort level. 

 

Speaking of: Sorry Bassists if I noted it as easier than it really is.

 

Lead for CPM

 

 

92% lead int https://ibb.co/iEnCtK

I quite like this song.  <_<

93.16% rythym int https://ibb.co/mxgNtK

I like this song also but my hand starts to get stiff near the end.

any tips?

99.82% rythym beg https://ibb.co/cchyHe

Thought I was going to 100% it.

lead beg 93% https://ibb.co/d7Pg3K

That's another enjoyable song!

Some first runs.

 

Quite hard for beginner i think.

This one was hard on the plucking fingers.

I know i missed at least 1 note, but i guess Rocksmith does not know that.

First play, seems a little tricky, very fun to play.

First runs on Bass

 

 

first runs on rhythm

 

 

Didn't tune down for Ghost...maybe I"ll do that today.
