Rock On!

@@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. 

@@PinKushin I recommend it too. The great thing is you don't even have to worry about octaves once a good setup is done.

The only bad side is that if your volume is not high enough you hear the strings ringing and that may confuse you.

For a couple of days I can't play drop tunings, so focus on this one.

@ Yeah, that's me. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. For most of the last month you've been putting in a lot of practice and beating me

 

Kept missing a note in a main riff on this run.

Some RR on the solo and some luck and i got a nice score.

some scores at last,

 

 

bass...... i need the 100% before the end of the week

 

 

definitely need this 100% by the end of the week as well,

 

 

my best so far......... random misses annoy me so much

 

 

i never thought this would be as much fun as it was, but i think the score flatters me a bit.

 

 

been working 12 hours a day & with a 2 hour journey on top doesn't leave me much time for the guitar but i'll manage some more goes this week, 

 

night night all  ZZZzzzzzz

I somehow missed a What's Up rhythm screenshot.  I feel like this should be easy but I seem to miss chords at random.  

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of RR on What's Up rhythm.  It was driving me nuts cause I was missing so many, then when I slowed it down I saw how much I was "mumbling" my chords.  Cheating one to get to the next, skipping the open strums, etc.    

 

And small improvement on lead.  I think I missed every double string bend.  And the other bends.  I suck at bends.
