Rock On!

Was amazed to see I finished 1st on lead last week; would have sworn I saw others higher.  I'm really glad I've kept with this as I'm playing with a purpose again.

 

So, just Beginner Lead for me after this weekend - worked on Alien Ant Farm for a while but had to stop when the wrist started hurting.  Helps that I know and like that song.

 

Here's the Beginner Lead - 96.36%

Will be working more on the Intermediate paths, but may return to this to see if I can do better.  It's really just some chord changes that get me flagged here and there, along with the odd finger fumble in that last part that runs along the high E string.

Wow...progress on the lead part for the contest on a Sunday night.  Usually I can't top my sight read for half the week, so this is a nice change.

Lead progress. Still need to figure out that slide part at the middle of the song.

After this attempt, it started going worse and worse :P

I’m away this week and Smooth Criminal gets chosen, hopefully I’ll get a score or 2 when I get back on Friday.

I chose this song so I get pushed to improve my scores, certainly gets thefingers moving :-)

Need to work on the solo!

+0.11 % improvement. I struggle with the D# -> C# -> D# slide part.

I can practically taste that diamond pick.

Going to give smooth criminal a crack now :)

 

 

Well, one hour in RR for 0.4% improvement. A little disappointed, and that means I will try again and again.
