HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

better

 

 

rhy

 

 

better

 

 

Bass, 1st try

 

 

@Rodman  Do you use an original squier mini or did you modify it?

 

Here is my 3/4 guitar with some unnecessary parts removed.   Sadly its a quite a bad guitar from the start.  Should have payed a bit more and bought a squier.

 

used to look like this

Second attempt this week went a lot better.   This time i was ready for the legato.

 

 

thats a great score on my vacation squier mini (pink)

 

I've been looking to get one of those for my daughter.  Is it pretty decent for the price?

@DropZone90  It's the tone that is horrible.  Add some other tones to your quick buttons and just change it to another one.

 

Don't know how many people know this, but the CF Song Manager will allow you to right click on a song and "Edit Song Information."  There is a "Tones" tab that you can adjust the overall volume if you find the guitar to loud or quiet ( if I remember correctly 0 is as loud as you can go, -27 as quiet, someone please correct me if you know).  You can also edit the tone.  For Please Please I suspect one needs to turn the gain on the lead guitar tone down to get rid of the static, but I haven't tried this.

Back to some scores.  Making a little progress.

 

 

mc rhy one try... next one would be vastly better i think

 

 

mc bass one try...

 

 

A little better

last nights attempt,

 

not bad but not as good as the last time

 

hoping for the 90,S later

 

 

and this

Hi guys, 

 

https://slack-files.com/TEV06SA1G-FLDMC4L1J-f92b159c49

Don't have time to play much this week and haven't done any RR... but the scores aren't bad!

 

 

 

 

First time Advanced Rhythm on SA!

 

But couldn't do Adv Lead

My attempts for the week:

 

@Rodman  Do you use an original squier mini or did you modify it?

 

Here is my 3/4 guitar with some unnecessary parts removed.   Sadly its a quite a bad guitar from the start.  Should have payed a bit more and bought a squier.

 

used to look like this

 

I have a real squier mini - i use it for 5 years now on traveling only, and it is a fantastic guitar - it does E Std to DDropDb easily and it was 99€ B-Stock at Thomann - just live it.

 

 

More Scores......

 

 

 

 

 

broke a bloody string so gave the bass a go

I almost forgot what fun the Bass is, haven't played it for a while,

 

Had to play it again, because on previous SA run I accidentally turned off the volume at the last high e string part.
