Let's Rock!

 

The music level seems lower on this one

 

 

One of those days... All of my first tries in LAS were better than next attempts at SA :lol:

 

 

Somehow faked my way through this, it gets crazy at the end.

That Taylor Swift lead is basically partly clean guitar tab and party vocal tab. It's been tabbed the same way as the PC Plum's version, but this is a worse tab. While Plum messed up by also bending the high E string at those unison bend parts, who ever made this failed to bend either string (the B string should be bent two steps for sure).

 

In any case, I'd suggest playing the PC Plum's version of the song for lead path.

Bass path was weirdly broken in PC Plum's version if I recall correctly, so playing the other version for bass is recommended.

 

I did not look at the rhythm at this time.

Both versions of Taylor Swift count that week on all parts.

 

Plums recommended totally agree with @@meelo , see his statement above.

Two


I actually found the latter end of this song pretty tricky. Controversial Six

 

And Sevens for Adv and MC.

 

You'll notice there is no Taylor Swift, I'm not playing that bs. 

Yeah! >79%, I don't get a hit by the old rules B)
Medium on a non DD Song is ok, isn't it?

 

Yes, even easy works without DD. But I'm sure you can also complete it in hard mode :)

@@Snakewizard levels up to MC Rhythm!

Congrats.

 

quick question

 

how are winners decided? is it first person to 100% in that class?

no, competition runs for one week (Sat - Sat, about 7pmCET), highest score on end of week in player´s class wins.

You decide which class you wanna start (Beg/Int/Adv/Mc) for lead/rhy/bass individually.

 

See the leaderboards!!! and also the 10-week leaderboards and player level there!

 

 

p.s. great that you are here!

Rock,

Rod.

 

Coolness. Thank you for the information.

 

I am, to be honest, struggling with the selection this week, but will post a score towards the end of the week when I have had a  chance to practice a bit.

 

Thank you again for the welcome.

@@LarryPlane   I tend to post my scores even if I am not happy with it.  Then I can try to beat my own scores on a different day, nice to see progress.

Cool. thanks for letting me know,

1st tries with a Bass:-)

Got rid of the red x, however, this was still a very suspicious performance.

 

 

Really need to play bass more often

 

Fun and painful

My start for the week:
