Would one of you moderators care to remove my previous score from the document on this song pretty please? It and this attempt are both for the rhythm track, not the lead.

 

finally 99%, what a great album!

 

more is not possible with my setup, the E string is giving me random misses, so are the slides in Red Baron, Fields of Verdun and the Ending Track.

 

@@coldrampage - are you using a 5-stringer?

 

 

I probably could have done Iron Maiden on SA... at least Rhythm

@@coldrampage - are you using a 5-stringer?

 

Yep using a 5 string although the slides are still pretty annoying to hit. Red barron isn't to bad if you add some extra strums in and verdun doesn't give me any issues but I can't seem to get the ones in the last track consistently.

 

I still get the odd random miss but the higher strings are looser than on my 4 string so I think it just needs a thicker set on.

Been rough lately, but I had a good guitar day.  First off, I finally reached my goal of 2 years playing every day.  I can't believe I did it.  My wife says I should take a day off.

 

Not bad on lead.  I don't know what to do for the 22nd fret bends.  I don't have that fret!  I thought it wasn't supposed to count anything above 21 frets, but it seems to.

 

I have no idea where I pulled this performance from!

 

I like the groove, but man, the repetition.  

 

 

Aha...my nemesis The Arpeggio invades my bass grooves!  I should have expected such a dirty trick!

Impressive streak! You didn't get this far by listening to your wife, why start now? :lol: For me it's been roughly 2 years since I bought my first guitar.

 

And the game automatically accepts notes that are marked above 22nd fret, but you still have to play the 22nd fret. You could bend 21 a half step to get there. That's what I attempt to do with my 22 fret SG, obviously with poor results!

 

Or you can get a hatchet with more frets.

Doubt I can get much better than this, the intro kills me

 

A bit of improvement

And i also have a bass entry into:

 

Iced Earch - Watching over me

Intermediate 99.58%

Still can't do that Stratus bass, that one is just too exhausting on my fretting hand... :(

(had that one on 92% but unfortunalty didn't screenshot it ^^')

Trying to push myself and improve my leads I spent a lot of time on this, but had to realize I wasn't going to get it to 100% speed by Saturday. 75% speed so far, maybe in a couple of weeks spending at least 1 hour a day I could get it to 100%. Not happening this week. 

 

Advance Lead: 92%

little better

 

Uh oh, was not supposed to play this in LAS, so I guess I'll have to find time to play it again in SA.

 

First time playing it. @@Nacholede Great job! The Great War has some really pointless sustains on those triplets though. It seems to be the only song where you had added sustain to triplets. Checked the indiviual version as well, same story there.

Almost made it to 1k streak. Twice.

 

 

Nice FC @@Snakewizard!

Hey guys! sorry for not being here the last couple weeks. My guitar broke so i can't play anymore, at least until i buy a new one (or repair this one)

Glad you're enjoying The Great War! As soon as i repair my guitar or buy a new one i'll let you guys know! cheers! 

The various imperfect chords at the beginning are most of the misses:

 

 

 

 

 

The phrase graph on this attempt for context:

 

Masterclass - Bass - 97.2%

yay, better.

 

fxxed up the last song

 

 

 

This was not a great warm up! Also I'm pretty sure that first half of the song is from pretty much all porn movies. At least from what I've gathered from the big boys. :huh:

Edit: @@Snakewizard You fc'd this one as well?! Kudos man! That seemed both annoying and endurance demanding.

 

There we go. I like the second song the best. And that beginning of the solo from the second last song is definitely influenced by some classical song.

 

Or am I just hearing what I want to hear? (should start at the solo, if not jump to 2:36)

Oh @@Nacholede one more minor thing. Pär Sundström seems and sounds to be playing with a pick, not fingered :)

 

Hmm, tempting to play again

I'm such a screw up at the fast part.
