My fingers did not want to work tonight, did pretty good on the smash mouth song but everything just felt off today. Hopefully I'll be able to play better tomorrow.

I don't normally down-tune, but I can't resist ska and reggae... Why Can't We Be Friends on bass = 97.9%

Firsties

Late start this week, very busy with work!

Missed one damn note. I think this should be 3, it's very repetitive but when it goes fast, it's hard to keep up with fingers

 

 

This one surprisingly easy but I don't like this Leo guy so won't be playing again

 

I thought (7) would be too hard to try in SA especially that I don't know the song but tried it nonetheless, turned out pretty easy!

 

Improved from 65% (last time it was played, don't remember when) to 72%. It's so weird and doesn't sound interesting to me

 

Easy!

 

 

Will need to practice more but not bad for the 1st time. I actually played the original right before and was frustrated that the tuning is different!
