I reckon this is actually harder than Advanced bass this week. Perhaps swap intermediate and advanced basses with each other?

Fun one. Was pretty sure I'd mess up one of the power chords in the middle or one of the C D G F# E parts at the very end.

@@Rodman should be proud, played all these three basses without a pick.

Update on Hammerfall

 

 

 

Edited January 29, 20196 yr by NunoJBSilva.Guitarist

Wow! Hurt, hurt me bad!

 

@@meelo - yeah, there is no plektrum in bass!

Nothing to see here  :ph34r:

 

Bass this week is evil.   the first 3 song played was an easy 100% on the first try.  And the forth one was a kick in the teeth.

 

Haunting song...Can't resist it.

a little better

Still slowing this song down and playing it over and over.  I decided to pop into SA for a change of pace.  Not done in LAS, but we glad to break 90% in SA.  I don't usually go back to LAS after I can play it in SA at the same accuracy, but I'm having to change my process with these intermediate songs.

Tiny bity better :)

First score of the week

 

After more RR work on the first half a full playthough showed some improvement.  

Well. I am cursed with consistency.

Then finally did something right in the solo. Actually was able to change the chords in that sweet, although it was definitely a strum and not a sweep.

Then first try rhythm. Forgot I hadn't tried it in LAS yet.

And second.

Hmm, not bad

Some firstish stuff

 

 

 

Improvement

 

 

I can't sweep

 

 

Got lucky, no cross

 

I was just looked back at the week 77 thread, I was thinking my goal would be to beat the 91.61% @@Rodman posted back in the day.  Then I saw that he played it 50 times in score attack!  Wow!  And I thought @@meelo played songs to death!  My hat's off to you my friend!

Wow...feeling good tonight!  Pretty big improvements on both int. lead and rhythm.

 

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1640356257 100% hell yea, now I get to keep my name. I was getting a little worried there. Note to self: never bet your name on getting RS to register. Almost forgot, I think there is a small discrepancy in the chart, there's a part where everyone cuts out and I swear I hear the bass playing something during that time but can't really make it out.
