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

This week started out as a da capo week, but the MC song is now ODLC, so I started rooting around and cobbled together a week that seemed more like a variation rather than a pure da capo.  So, beware the pirates (and the low tuning) for the beginner class.  The intermediate class gets a study in arpeggios.  Arpeggios seem super tough until you start getting them, so keep at it!  Advanced gets a nice song I hadn't heard before (with some arpeggios as well I believe).  I threw in Kind of Magic on bass, the lead parts boring so not included, but the bass is super fun to play.  Masterclass gets some Metallica.

 

Rock on!

@@diceslinger - Watcha think about

 

Police - Every Breath you take

 

for our songs to leagn challenge for next week?

 

Hmm, how about a fuzzy attempt at that! :lol:

Oh, what a week! - One of my most fav weeks of all time.

 

Wonderful songs to play and to listen to. The crazy pirates with one of the heaviest beginner tunes we ever had, the one piece puzzle and zebra made it to my regular spotify playlist since played, what is that .. 6 years ago. Plus some ´tallica nad some Queen, and Sabaton Album final week.

 

Oh yeah!

 

Rock!

Wow...that is a tough one.  I only scored 85% on it when we played it for the contest.  Ok, I'll give it a shot!

Love this song!  Glad to play it again!

 

Fun to play, never heard it before

 

Another one I haven't heard.  I can't believe these songs don't come up more often in the championships.  Fun to play!

 

Fun to play, did much better on the solo that time.  Still much work needed.

Love this song!  Glad to play it again!

:D

 

That´s what i love about the championships, getting to work with a lot of unknown music and discovering wonderful bands i would have never gave enough attention, bands that are in my favourite bands of them all list now like Muse, Metric, Buckethead, Wolfmother, Tom Petty, A7X, Gloryhammer, Devin Townsend, and not to forget the great great Rob White Zombie, Ghost, Gojira, The Ventures or the Misfits.

Ah, just can´t wait to get to my guitar and have a few runs on that weeks selection.

 

Rock!

 

For Every breath you take - should be in our from the brain repertoire, i felt, sometimes the song chooses the players.

Queen - A Kind of Magic - on Rhythm rating it 3 wtf?

I have no idea why such a rating, but it's completely wrong. This is technically difficult track, I'd rate it minumum 7.

Queen - A Kind of Magic - on Rhythm rating it 3 wtf?

Hi,

 

I am in same opinion. At first sight it seems an impossible mission for me. :)

Last week the Jethro Tull song was rated also 3. Technically there are huge difference between the two songs.

Eh. Hardly anything to play and its mostly lead stuff anyway. Bet bass is better.


this is pretty good


Haven't heard this in a while, those clean chords gonna be a pain.


Bass is bit boring. Might be missing the odd note, or maybe I'm hearing things.


cba to retune for alestorm

not bad


High score off again yay.


Easier to see it go off sync on bass, though it felt bit off on guitar.

I'll take a look at it again.  I rated it months ago, but I see I rated it a 4.  Maybe I got my spreadsheet wires crossed.  I'll play it again and see.  My apologies, I was trying to quickly slot in a song for beginner rhythm.  

I remember this song being my pick back in week 52.  Played it so damn much but never managed to play the solo.  got 99% on Rhythm and got moved to advanced a lot earlier than i wanted.   This time the only part I missed are the damn bends.

 

I pulled Kind of Magic from beginner rhythm.  I must have written something down incorrectly months ago when I first played it, it is at least a 7, and not a very compelling play at that.  

Wife is working tonight so i had a lot of free time to play.

 

Start this week:

 

 

The note chart is a bit running out but still fun to play!

 

 

 

Difficult piece for intermediate - arpeggios, a bit of tapping, nothing very difficult but challenging.

 

 

 

A strange song, it takes some time to feel it.

 

 

 

It's not one of my favorite Metallica songs, but it can be played.

 

Fun songs this week, though I got a b it of work to:

 

 

 

Always like playing Metallica songs.. Not familiar with this one, but it was fun to play
