Let us know your opinions on the accuracy of the difficulty scores (1-10) for this weeks songs.

So much easier in E standard,

 

 

 

Not sure why I rated this 5... It's more like 2 or 3

 

That was quick...

 

Will need RR for one of the riffs

 

Too early for me to get into Advanced Rhythm...

No 90%. Top Gun lead was kind of cool! I think Amorphis Rhythm is a 3, 4 at a push. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...seems like i need to steel myself for another ~25min session!

Am i the only one thinking Amorphis rhythm is more 1 or 2 if you ignore the tuning?  its just slow changing power chords.

 

Tiny bit

Bass:

Beginner:        Amorphis - Black Winter Day  (3)

Intermediate: Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens - Top Gun Anthem (4)

Advanced:     The Who - My Generation (ODS) (5.5)

Masterclass:  Blue Öyster Cult - Then Came the Last Days of May  (6)

 

The ending on this makes absolutely zero sense.

 

an accidental first-try-fc :o

Am i the only one thinking Amorphis rhythm is more 1 or 2 if you ignore the tuning?  its just slow changing power chords.

 

 

Hmm... i was like 4-5 on testing run and the running scores on the lb say that might fit.

But: C´mon players of RHY INT - please give your ratings!!!

I gave my rating for Inter Rhy, I'd give it a 3 myself after giving another play today.

1% off of current goal. For inter lead.

 

 

 

 

Lead is most enjoyable in lead! 

Been busy getting songs out, championship time.
 

Today is probably the last day I've got for this. Might be without internet for a few days/weeks, or not we dunno for sure.

Wanted to try the lead, sounded like some fun scale practice.

Yep pretty fun, wish it had the keyboard/synth bits instead of the rhythm in places tho.

 

Note detection pls.


getting the chords kinda better

 

Sa time

 

Nearly got diamond, eh this'll do for now.

 

Bass time.
Took longer than I thought, kept getting random misses. Think the bass sync is a bit weird in places?, maybe I just suck lol.

 

This'll do for now.

Bass day

And another quick try on Amorphis.   Even tho i don't like listening to them I love playing their lead guitar parts.

 

First attemps to lead:

 

 

To warm up:

 

 

Damn, the riffs here are really good:

 

 

 

 

And finally:

 

 

There is something to improve :)

Small improvements.

Hi guys and girls!

 

Been too long. Miss you and long to spend more time with you, let alone, the guitar.

 

Nice to see a bunch of fresh new faces here. As you'll see below, I am not a threat. :)

 

Week 344! Yikes! That is impressive!! Thanks to our tireless organizers! I know a think or two about their labour-of-love effort, albeit on a much smaller scale.

 

Here is my cold score in this beloved 80's masterpiece. First time I pick up a guitar in nearly 4 months and any significant playing in 3 years.... I yearn to get back into the groove. Need to find a serious job first ... :)

 

I think I noticed you guys work in a CS class system (no more free bird?) so please feel free to neglect entering my hopefully upcoming improvements this week. Sorry I didn't have time to read any new rules or this thread. Just take my post here as a HELLO

 

Int. Lead: 

This is a hard song, IMHO it's an advance song

Daily Amorphis improvement.

 

Close

 

Even closer

 

And I got it!

A nice song! The chart had some issues but i hope i could do better next time. Tomorrow i'll give a try to the Buckethead song
