Lots of weeks ago was fun and interesting to play Volbeat - The Gates of Babylon. This weeks song is interesting too.

Firstly I thought - no. no. I will NOT play this. Mostly of D Std. But now I realy like it.

Alright, much better than expected on the fretless, but I did spend most of the time staring at my hands. So tomorrow morning I will loop back to my precision bass to wrap up.  I'll do one more sight read style, then I'll do some practice to see what I can iron out for a final score.

 

Instrument was my factory error squire precision fretless.  It has a jazz neck on a P-bass body, had it checked and it's legit, left the indonesian factory that way.  It's got some decent D'addario nylon tapewounds on it.

Finally, I think life has settled down enough to allow me to participate more regularly.  I just managed to squeeze this one in...

 

I have lots of friends that like Volbeat, but i never really cared for them myself.   But they do have  a few songs that are fun to play.  This is one of them.

 

Managed to play a bit of bass... tough after working 80 hours and not playing for a whole week!

 

 

And a bit of guitar. Will try to play more tomorrow before the week is over

 

 

This song is fun to play and perfect for my current skill level... too bad I don't have time for RR and get a better score

 

Too hard. P.S. - wait, it's actually advanced and I managed to do SA :) 

Rough week, don't feel like I improved much.  

Lead

 

 

 

Rhythm

 

 

Bass

 

next week starting soon...

I just could not get this to score attack in time, getting close, but too much red. Hard song for me, I must of spent  a good 10 hours or more on this song. Made it to 402 hours in the rocksmith stats. Looking forward to 500 hours. Maybe by then I'll get songs at this level in score attack in time. Wonder what 1000 hours would be like. 

Well just to end this shindig.  Went back to the Pbass for one more sight read.

 

Then did a score attack.

 

I think if I would have stayed on the same instrument through all play throughs my improvement would have been better.  Though I did have a one percent increase I think just from knowing the chart when first coming back to the pbass, then another 1% on the next play as it kinda translated to this instrument?  Well no idea.  Next week, I'll just been on the Sire.
