A mild Amorphis improvement:

 

What a great week.

Scores so far, might try and improve on these later...

 

 

 

 

 

Struggled a bit today to beat my current score. 

 

 

 

Getting some where with this one, 94% at 80 speed. Though at full speed I'm still getting lost. 

Bass:

Beginner: In Flames - Varmlandsvisan (3) @92.48%

Queens of the Stone Age is really hard for me .. these bends :o

Hi All,

 

i remember the Golden Elk from last time, i never pretended to like it but it kind of grew on me, i think i got up to 96% last time.....

 

here's a starting point...

 

 

a few more runs,

 

 

and again

 

 

and again

 

 

 

pleased with that one.... for now,

 

night night all

Some mo betters

 

Take that arpeggios!  Yeah!

 

Never really got into Megadeath, but this one is fun to play and growing on me.  Thank you championship for expanding my musical tastes yet again!

 

Trying to stretch myself the next couple week and give the advanced songs a try.

Again, really fun to play!

 

I was going to ask if Finland even had elk, but wikipedia informs me that in eurasia Elk means Moose.  Somehow the Golden Moose lacks a certain poetry.

Megadeth at large is certainly fun to play, even on something a bit more subdued for them like this. 

I thought I was never going to break 96.60%. Surprised I cracked 97%, that play through had very poor streaks compared to all my others

 

 

 

Only improvement I could make.

 

Totally cheated the 1.5 step bends with slides.

 

Surprising fc.

 

Silly mistakes

 

Actually tuned to Drop B. Struggling with note recognition.

 

Problem solved. Tuned to Drop D, but using my drop pedal.

 

The bends make it too hard for intermediate. Megadeth is much easier!

 

 

Got a better score before

 

 

 

 

Great melody and played it 100% on the 1st attempt!

 

Need to practice arpeggios

 

Too hard for my level

 

Decided to focus on Advance this week:

L and B for today, I don't know if I'll have enough time for the rhythm. 

Bass:

Little bit of Amorphis. I reckon the lead is actually 7 and not 8, but doesn't matter. It's been graded as 8 before.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1941810073

 

Amorphis - Bass. 98.32%.

 

Couldve probably upped it a notch but it has been too hectic a week to be super focused on any one song. 

I managed this early in the week, but didn't upload it before i fell ill again to a relapse/complications from my earlier bout with pneumonia.  Not my best effort, still learning to navigate the new bass fretboard.

 

Finally got 100%

Got home from Cape Verde at 3:15 this morning.  Feel great to hold a guitar again.  Most scores are worse than from previous weeks.  But I'm still pleased with them.
