Rock On!

a bit better

 

 

To me it sounds like the chorus riff is doing something like this with a pick harmonic finish:

instead of d5, e5, g5 (10th fret) with a string root

My RS keeps crashing!

 

This is all I got today, 

This is (almost) the best I can do without being able to nail the solo at all. 0 misses before solo, nailed the first note of the solo (bend), solo sounded like I was stabbing a kitten, and missed three notes after the solo. I can get perfection before and after the solo, but the solo is a tall order. So far I've been able to do it at 70 % speed and 110 % luck.

I've run this song into the ground, my family is tired of it.

Now play the lead and bass versions and tell your family they are totally different songs ;)

Finally a rhythmic improvement. The slides in the verse sound alright, but RS does not like 'em.

 

I'm out in the Lead top ten, so I can submit some quick and relaxed 'also ran'.

some updates...

 

 

 

 

bloody hard work this week

 

night night all

Finally got 99+ on Jethro Tull Rhythm, RR certainly helped!!

 

Also, not the best score but better accuracy. Butchered the solo, haven't tried it in RR due to lack of time

Needed to get this uploaded since I may not do any better due to time / illness:

 

Metric - Lead - 94.7%

I think you may have uploaded the wrong picture. I'm guessing that was supposed to be a lead update :P

Not sure where I missed the note...

 

Didn't have time to spend on this song, so this is my first SA attempt after LAS

Early Saturday morning scores,
