Sorry the week is a bit late, but CF took a nap.

 

Advanced rhythm is probably slightly harder than masterclass rhythm, but I didn't want to mix the songs.

 

Oh and I'm genuinly curious to hear how many attempts each of you had in these specific songs before this week. :)

Previous Attempts

• 
  
• Beginner: Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop (2)   
  
•  
  
•      Lead: 31, Rhythm: 0
  
•  
  
• Intermediate: Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me (5)
  
•  
  
•      Lead: 11 Rhythm: 0
  

No attempts made on the other songs of this week.

 

An off start to the g0g challenge

 

I think this will be only one I get 100% on.  Do we tally the percentages for g0g?

Beginner L/R/B - need to work on R some and a little on L, but not bad for me with out RR, bass is too easy on this one. 

 Rhythm: a little more work and I'll try for 100%

Bass - No RR and straight to SA and I get 100% on the first try, what!! Maybe I'll try MM later on this one. 

 

Way beyond my sight reading skill

An off start to the g0g challenge

Owww, it's not an official GoG week, but more of an additional challenge fueled by what happened with bass last week :)

 

Went through all the parts in RR, will take a bit to pull it together,

Best personal accuracy on Matsumoto:

Great example of how much my vibrato technique needs work:

Master Mode

 

I reckon Ramones is a bit more difficult due to the speed

 

This one is easier than Rise Against

 

Completely missed the fast tapping parts

Pre- Week 320 screenshots and today's efforts. I really struggled with Ramones Rhythm. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chill out bass day.........

 

 

I might of played this before a few times, i wonder ............

 

Hmmmmm  seems like i can

 

 

 

 

needs work but beat my previous best by 20% 

 

 

 

needs a lot of work but also beat my previous by nearly 20%

 

better get the six string re strung and have a little go

 

Should try master mode

 

 

Thunderkiss '65 has lots of bends, and that completely throws me out of the competition (My guitar and Rocksmith don't like bends)

 

"Savior" improvements from earlier in the morning:

After few more playthroughs at MC lead and rhythm, I think they both probably should be reversed between advanced and masterclass. We'll keep them in this order, but just so you know.

 

I forgot to renew my hosting service and am temporarily without access to it (since friday). Should be back up on monday/tuesday, so I'll post my screenshots then.

 

Man, my strings are so out tune after that run.  I got a little crazy with the bends... 

Intermediate L/R/B

Lead: Got the X at the very end #$%^!
