Rock On!

A couple days off, but this time I have a good reason. New (second-hand) guitar! I spent some hours trying to get used to this one, since it has no dots on the fretboard, and it really is a distraction at the time. Pics tomorrow, maybe.

 

This evening I gave some more shots at my challenges.

 

I'm losing my strumming arm when it's solo time, too many notes, it goes numb. Hardly I can improve this aspect in the short term.

 

Starting SA next time on this one.

Here's my attempts for the week. Not real crazy about the Vektor track, don't think I'll be working on it much more. The other songs are fun to play.

 

 

 

 

Yikes should have started working on this sooner

 

Can't believe I got through this first time.

Another first and two seconds.

 

 

 

 

Slight improvement, I felt I played it much better this time though...RR time I think

...aaannd improvement:

 

Didn't know what to expect with this song but loved it

 

a small improvement, don't blink or you will miss it.

To those who think I suck at taking photos: I agree. If anyone is interested in better ones, this is an Ibanez SZ520QM, feel free to google it. 

Some bass

@@Fandaru congrats on the new guitar!  Looks great!

 

 

Thanks ! I am very proud of my choice!

 

Got past the solo no problem that time only to fail on the first part after the solo.

Again...don't blink!

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Seems the gods hate me because steam overlay works for everything except rocksmith so I have to use Geforce capture instead

 

I got to really like this band... gonna burn in hell lol :)
