Some rhythm, some bass.

 

 

 

 

Hi gang, long time no posting here from me, but I try to post my mediocrity :) when I can.

 

Lots of new faces here i don't know .. and with some serious chops! Nice to see this gang thriving!!

 

Love this song from my fellow country-woman. I just had to make time to try it! 2nd attempt without RR'ing. I post that since i like to see the improvement throughout the week from cold to practiced, however unbecoming the cold score is ... :)

 

Cheers and have a great week!

How on earth are you supposed to do those tremolo-picking transitions/slides in this one? I keep missing most of those for some reason. Never had this problem with tremolo slides before.

This must be at the very low end of 5 or high end of 4 in difficulty.

(91 % was a practice run at 80 % speed)

Rhytm

Since we are having a break in intermediate league, I better work on that Judas Priest song.

 

The bass of beginner song is easy, but I can't play it flawlessly. Always miss a note at least. I'll keep trying:

 

 

 

Funny, for lead I find int easier than beginner.

 

 

 

 

Some rhythm and bass

I am having this same problem, and the note that it registers as missed seems to be the one I am sliding from.  I do have better results when I go slow on the slide and make sure the halfstep fret is played.  So on a slide from 15th fret to 17th fret I make sure to hit the 16th fret on the way.  I wonder if it is charted as 2 slides or something.
