Great arpeggios challenge for intermediate players. Another good choice.

 

First time I play this. Seems cleary 7.

90% in second try is not bad.

Rhythm - 5

 

Very atmospheric song, I love it. Best song on this album for me. Thanks for choosing.

tried the int song, the arrpeggios seem fun but the song really isnt my cup of tea so I dont think ill play it any more this week

on the other hand tho this song is GOOD, never heard it before this attempt 

just posting to see how much progress i can make on this one in a week... when the song gets solo-y it gets too crazy for me.. maybe ill try the rhytm part and stick to that

 

 

ahhh fretted the wrong string near the end and missed a note

 

Took a couple of times to get it right.

Guess I should use a pick to score better.

Hmmm

man its hard to play guitar after playing bass, btw do you guys frown upon playing fingerpick bass songs with a pick?

I like this song, a lot more practice for me, at least I made it thru to the end.....while being Booo'd off stage lol

.pdf

rhythm path definetly easier but still some work to do, this is such a fun good song thanks for this one OP

This will take some work from me. That's okay.

The appendix is moving... upwards. I must say, that this Muse is a great song. I think it's a bit difficult, but I'll get closer.

But it was also all I managed for today. 😞

Hey, this is my first post, however I've been following the championship league for a little while now. I don't exactly know where I should place myself therefore I tried all the songs. I mostly just sight read one playthrough and this is what I got.

This week's go-around:

A little better.

This is my fav song from The 2nd Law, alongside Follow Me 
I think this is more of a hard advanced rather than a MC  song

whelp

I've given the advanced songs some attention again today, and it pays off (and I don't have to tune my bass all the time 😉 ). They are great songs, and about the level I can manage to play convincing...

About the animals, I must say, I have some difficulties to get the main riff right, and it goes on a few times, so that pulls me accuracy somewhat down. Since I'm capable of learning this, it has to be around 6.5 in difficulty. I'm quite happy about the results so far though:

I even got a better high score, but with a worse accuracy. 😞

On the other hand, I gave also some attention to Megadeth. I have some problems with the timing, but the computer is very understanding, and accepts to many uncertain notes. If I was the bass in a band, there would be... wobbly rhythm. I don't think the audience would be impressed. But the score is very acceptable (for me). 🙂 The difficulty is less than Animals... I'd say 6.

Here we go

I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying the songs this week. My first tries for the week:

This would technically not be allowable as I took the screenshot too late but I'm not competing on beginner:

 

Such a good song and band:

This is also one of my favorite Muse songs and the best one off 2nd Law IMO:

 

I didn't have a chance to test this before the week started but it was really nice to play...well done @Nacholede:

 

I won't come close to winning on this late 80s classic but I'm proud of this attempt. I think I could do a bit better with practice but not much:

(also, fun fact: Edie Brickell is married to Paul Simon)

Welcome to the Championship! Those are some really good sight read scores. I would suggest you start at advanced, or maybe intermediate if you're not convinced. Let us know and we'll update the leaderboards.

A bit late practice, and again only with the advanced songs. But they are really great. Though I must admit, i'd like to see how people are fingering the first (main) "riff". I'm really having problems with it. Sometimes I'm more lucky than other.

I really like the end riff! It's awesome... maybe because I can play it. 😉

And I also have a feeling of Victory with Megadeth. I'm very close on making it perfect! 🙂

And Steam has been repaired, so it's easier to share screenshots again! 🙂

Time for bass. Much of this!
