I'm not far behind :) but at least we don't have to compete with Meelo anymore.

little more +

 

 

:huh:

I'm sure that is what the beginner gang is saying about me!

I'm not far behind :) but at least we don't have to compete with Meelo anymore.

 

 

Not quite 99%.  Keep screwing up some random notes.

 

 

 

On the first half of this song you can actually hear what song i am trying to play,  on the other half it sounds like 2 chickens fighting.

Might as well get the same annoying score on rhythm

 

Finally, got at lest one 99%

 

 

Some improvement

 

Oh boy this middle arpeggio part is hard.

 

 

Nice picks Toni.   Boys of Summer is such a good song.

 

Thanks Rodman for the chart of the Leo cover. Some small issues with missing Rhythm in the main verse which are charted as single strum instead of the chunking along  in the uhhh Drop D special pitched down version.

 

 

single last shot on lead, ++

 

 

and one last shot rhy +

 

 

I saw this weeks song choices whilst in an Irish pub in Denmark, and i just wanted to grab a guitar and try them out but i had to wait.......

2 days past and i was looking forward to playing more and more then Boom !!! i got another Beautiful Granddaughter born on Wednesday, so with trips to the the hospital etc i never go a bloody chance to play any of the songs........

 

until now  :D

 

this was the ear worm i had since Sunday...... Kids In America, i had grown up with the Kim Wilde version so i had never heard this one, but i was not dissapointed ..... first go was 99.5% in LAS but with a little time .....

 

 

 

then i remembered @@Anwyn ........ and the master challenge so i thought hey why not.......

 

 

 

 

over to you Mr @@Anwyn  :P

 

i better try some of the other songs now  :huh:

No 100s for me this week.

 

I pressed "like" button, because there is no dislike button :(

single last shot on lead, ++
