Let's Rock!

Amorphis first. Had a good lead run, just so that it's not too easy for @@meelo to win.

You start off with a 98.99 %! Are you trying to get rid off me? :D Rodman tried to push me to MC because of that 99.12 % I pulled off two weeks ago.

 

So the goal is to play 98.99 % with 557 streak now!

Some bass before bed time. I played ABBA and Guns'n Roses with a pick, because I managed to drop hot glue on my right middle finger today, when fitting a new bathroom door. But I could not bring myself to play Superstition with the pick, I rather suffered the pain.

 

 

 

 

 

@@meelo I can understand Rodman wanting you in MC, because you are consistently very good, but I enjoy our little conversations, so please stay a little while longer in ADV.

It's not a bad start. I had that solo in my pocket at 90 % speed. Then whoosh. Gone like this year.

The tone is not as good as it was on the previous Amorphis song.

Missing a lot of chords in they rhythm that I don't think I'm missing.  I always have problems registering notes on songs with a lot of stumming.   Rhythm and bass are included. I am having a lot of problems with lead for some reason this week.

 

 

Hey an idea for future content. Can we perhaps have like a ... For example a Queen take over? Like one week every class song could be from all one band? 

 

This is totally possible. What does everyone think? Obviously Queen is just an example. We could do a vote for which band/artist has the take over. 

 

 

Which beginner rhythm track is the one that is gonna get the normal beginner table score? Because I really don't fancy down tuning for D stand. It takes absolutely ages, then it takes another ten mintues to tune back to E. 

 

Alvvays is gonna be the one scored, we don´t like to force beginners any lower than DropD, Eb competitionwise.

 

 

For the first comment:

 

That is a nice idea - but song selection is a time consuming process, and as you know it gets easier on good participation of all players.

So - for 2019 i´d like to invite every player to participate here. As always please add the songs you wanna have played to SongSelectionList and very important - have a thorough play through all paths (check if tone is good, check if sync is good, check if RR is working!) and fill in difficulty.

But also i´d encourage everyone to set up a whole week!!!! Does not matter if you have a special themed idea in mind like @ToniW or you just wanna try to set up a proper random selected week - do it or at least start with the selection and then contact me or any orga you like and we´ll be glad to assist.

Have in mind that selection comes with a bag of responsibility, but fear not - you might get burnt but nobody gets eaten ;)

 

 

Everyone Rock and have a damn strong 2019!

Despite that I use the non DD version my medium level performance was better, maybe because I wasn't that afraid of being hit ;)
medium @ 91.45

let´s go

 

reminds me of the old old great Amorphis melody driven songs from way back in the 90ies, cool

dammit, i completely fucked up because of my no plektrum on bass policy, still love it.

 

 

lovely music these days!!!!!

 

 

some easy listening on the last day of year is always great!
 

+, lead

lead, +

 

 

Wish you all the very best in the new year

small++, I need to stop choking on the "easy" parts of the song.

If it's a 3, it's a really hard 3.

This was just ridiculous again.

Last scores of the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed playing this one more than i thought i would.

 

 

And of course, i had to play Stevie Wonder, even if he's only for rythm.

 

 

Goodbye untill next year.

Hi guys!

 

Here is my score at advanced bass...

Happy new year and God bless you!

Some top Bass scores being posted in here, gonna be stiff competition this week!

 

Have a good New Years Eve guys!!

 

a bit of practice....lots of work to do.

Hey an idea for future content. Can we perhaps have like a ... For example a Queen take over? Like one week every class song could be from all one band? 

 

This is totally possible. What does everyone think? Obviously Queen is just an example. We could do a vote for which band/artist has the take over. 

 

Would be hard to find beginner and intermediate songs from bands like Megadeth :)

 

 

 That is a nice idea - but song selection is a time consuming process, and as you know it gets easier on good participation of all players.

 

 

Can we add more than 10 songs? I'm already approaching my limit and only once in the whole year my song was selected...

Need to turn off the score attack sound effects, the boom on a missed note makes me jump and then I miss a bunch.

 

Little improvement on Amorphis
