Let's Rock!

Spreadsheet maintainers, don't think @@ZeroPingNZ got his scores from post #105 added to the spreadsheet.  They were added in a reply to my post so it wasn't obvious at quick glance what was quoted and what wasn't.  I won't quote the post again lest I add to the confusion :)  

Hey all.

 

Did another cover - feel free to check it out 

 

La Bamba just the electric guitar part 

 

 Click here or on the image to watch

 

Nice Score @@Anwyn ....... however

 

 

 

Never underestimate an old man with a guitar  ;)

 

Tried the lead as well but struggling, as always, with the single string bit,

 

 

 

 

now i must try the others at some point

 

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

 

Good luck!

And another one. Mission accomplished :)

Sorry @@Rodman. I had to give lead and rhythm one more try. Couldn't let you win so easily.

Oops, found one more screenshot. Do these count? Accuracy and streak better than my SA run but I don't see the "mastery" here

Hey all.

 

Did another cover - feel free to check it out

 

...

Bravo!

So confident on the solo.

Very well done.

 

Please dont stop doing those!

 

Here is this week's intermediate lead:

@@Rodman

 

Thanks man. I appreciate your feedback. 

 

I'll continue doing this for sure ;) 

Added advanced lead, too. Not a fan of Leo's covers, if I'm honest. Previously, Eye of the Tiger was on here as well and it was also meh.

This one also seemed easier overall than Int lead for me (except the short tapping part)

The rule when submitting a Learn a Song score is that all sections must be purple, played at 100%. Your score has been entered.

Don't tell @@Toni-Wan Kenobi, but I scored 100 %. (probably not a wise idea to ping him directly, if you want it to be secret?)

After being very consistent. As always.

Last two were played with a pick instead of finger. The pain in the tip of my right hand's index finger started being too much to bear (lost a lot of skin from it while bouldering).

To add: Accuracy is the one we mark down, not mastery. As long as all sections are purple, accuracy and streak are visible, you are golden.

couple of scores after dragging myself away from the Muffs,
