Rock On!

89% Rhythm Int Part 1

I only need to tune in DropD, and the Drop pedal (thanks!) does the rest of the work. 

 

After the first run (77%) I was "this is hell", then I was brave enough to start the RR. It seems doable, must say. Learning moves to get the transitions and those chords.

Small improvement on Masterclass 99.67

i'd say oasis is a 6 both rhythm and lead, what do you all think?

I was going to put the Oasis song as a 6 but I’m not very good at ranking songs it is definitely not easy as I’ve played this song loads of times and can’t get into the 90’s on Lead

 

I’ll leave it up to the Orgs to decide.

That's got to be the worst Eye of the Tiger cover I've ever heard. But other than the fastly repeated notes in the "solo", I don't think there was any significant difference between lead and rhytm (or bass for that matter) that would grant Lead getting rank 6 and rhytm only 3-4.

 

Oasis just shows how bad I am at open C chord.

 

First tries (except for Oasis)

This was a pretty fun bass part. 

 

I got two strikes right off the bat and was sweating it the whole song!

Done with beginner and intermediate bass, good enough

 

 

Advanced needs RR for sure

I'm just posting to say, how the hell do I keep winning in IM? Come one guys, you got this, you're better than me. Also I will be skipping this week, I don't play non standard tuning, too floppy with my D'addario super lights, RS doesn't like it and neither do I. I will throw up a play through of the bonus just so I can get credit for participating though. I want that die hard member badge.

One question, shouldn't the Leo covers be labeled as Frog Leap Studios? I'm not sure what he publishes them under so I'm probably wrong but curious.

 

Edit: Here's my play through of What's Up https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1508395490 I'd say it's beginner level, maybe, I don't know, I still consider myself beginner level so don't listen to me, I don't think I'm ever going to get comfortable enough to play publicly, even if I can start playing Vulfpeck or Jaco perfectly. 

Really fun song  :)

Okay I'm done

I lied Goodnight 

"Can us bass players play James Prestons version of Get the Funk out please?"

 

...I´ve been asked.

 

Sure Thing, both version scores are accepted!

@@blejusca - "Can i compete in MC in the same week" - Sure, man! You can compete in any of your classes and higher competitionwise in every week, and your scores are welcome in all the lower classes too.

 

Do I get an extra points from those two songs I cleared in master mode, although they didn't end up being my best runs?

Also ugh. Every song is in different tuning :unsure:

You get an extra point if difference between best run and Master Mode run is lower than 2% (rules say "score" but I assume it means "accuracy"). So you would get the point for the rhythm run (98.xx) but not for the bass run (96.xx against your 100%, also INT is not your class for bass, you couldn't get points for that song anyway).

We need @Rodman to confirm everything and eventually edit the results.

 

 

That´s right!

You get an extra point for a 100, you get an extra point for a MM within 2% of your highest score - important: those MM scores shall be marked in fontcolor "red",

like:

 

 

 

to differ those outside the 2%range shall have the name in black, and only the score in red.

Don't remember last time we played this, but apparently i was better at it then.

Don't remember playing this one either, i guess i have always been to lazy to tune to it.

I do love Moracchioli but i dont like to play with headphones.   Might get my crappy guitar with fat strings out later in the week and try it with the real tuning.

Never listen to Amorphis outside of RS, but i do love to play their songs.

Fun but hard

Second attempt at Golden Elk. Hopefully I can get 99.5% by tomorrow cause I reaaally wanna tune back up (and Get the Funk Out looks so cool)

Made a bit of improvement on this one. It's a fun song to play.

 

Fun song but I personally feel like its too easy for the masterclass which is evident by the fact that I managed to get 100%

 

At least @ can't beat me by 0.1% this time  :sob:

 

 

 

Looks like the main challenge with this one will be with the tapping solo

 

@@PinKushin If you don't like to detune your guitar then I highly recommend you invest in one of these

 

https://www.amazon.com/DigiTech-Polyphonic-Bundle-Instrument-Polishing/dp/B00U830TH8

 

I use it for every non-standard song and it works like a charm. 

 

@@Stark_Knight are you that drsnipes101 guy?  No way I'll match that 100%, hoping I'II get to 99 by the end of the week.
