Rock On!

Love a bit of Leo! 

Lol, one of my songs were selected - for the 1st time ever :)

 

Not quite sure how to play transitions between 6 and 2nd frets on the A string - the chart looks like something I've never seen before.

 

1st time hearing and playing, missed couple notes but not going to play again - easy!

 

Weird song but rather easy to play

 

This looks doable at 100%... just need a bit of practice.

 

Wow, this "mastery" sucks :)

Think I'll see how high I can get the advanced tune this week.

 

I guess I played this before, could not even get through it this time

 

Improvement, however, this one is a bit tricky for me.   

 

Doesn't seem like a masterclass song, although  I only got 90% on my first run.

 

First runs...

 

Really like this one...no words.  After last week with Party Police over and over no words is a good thing!

 

 

I like the bass part better than the lead part.

 

 

I usually like Leo's covers, pretty fun to play.

I think it is just a strange rendering of the song...I played slides and it took them.  If I played the last note in the series without a slide it read it as a miss.

This swift song is the one that thought me to use hybrid picking.

Just a bit awkward this morning! 

https://ibb.co/cEwFn0

Here we go, a better attempt.

I just dont like Leo's covers! but everyont to their own I suppose!

Take me to Church for beginner rhythm is insane! This attempt was just a play an hope job, I dunno how I managed 80%, it sounded awful, I didn't know what I was doing nor do I believe I was hitting the right chords. But yet I still get 80%. Can we look to get some actual beginner songs for Rhythm in the coming weeks please? Most of the time I struggle with these  'upper class rules'

No sorry it's not beginner, I worded it incorrectly. But it's still incredibly hard for a beginner like me to play these kind of songs when there are no beginner songs to partake in. I don't mean to moan, it's just I struggle enough on difficulty 3 :lol: My 6-string playing capability is terrible compared to my Bass playing. 

 

I'll try to look for some beginner songs with all 3 arrangement's to submit. I assume it's just a case of there aren't enough of these? 

@@MaZtoR so for the taylor swift song (for the part with the A and B strings) are you using a pick for the A string and finger for the B?  I was trying mute the D and G and it was not working great.

Yes, I'm using the pick on the A string and middle finger on the B string.

@@diceslinger, I still can't get that shit out of my head, even after listening to a number of covers done by Leo.
