Swelting hot here in the u.k feels like a rhythm day today.  🥵

Here is my highest percentage for Mr. Blue Sky, I always feel pretty good until the walking bass line section starts and then its a train wreck of garbled notes until its back to the chorus hahahaha!!

Uploading an image directly to the forum is a bad idea due to limited space. We upload image to sites like imgur or postimages and then paste link to the image here.

Good to play Fade To Black one more time!

So close 90...

Still not good on the acoustic parts but it's better:

I think I should've stayed in Beginner!!

This was fun - until it wasn't

One of my all time favorite songs. Been working on this for a while.. I've got some room for improvement.

I might get this to 98% but higher than that i dont think I can anytime soon. need the motivation somebody pass my score

Rhythm section 

Beginner I think I may be able to get this a little better 

Intermediate .crap crap crap

Couldn't get past  first few sections. 

Learn a song at least it's a score right 

I give this a rating of 8 at least as it's the first song I cant complete in SA.

I'm never playing it again 😭😭

1% improvement 👍

I checked this again and I think you are exaggerating 😉 OK that could also be a 6 because of the relatively fast moving chart, but it basically consists of a not too difficult opening riff and 3 chords, so definitely not 8. Then Lead with solos would have to be 10. Remember that you are in beginner class so you don't have to fight it if you don't want to 🙂

Yea I agree, just me I think I feel like I am playing it fine, the song just does not like me .lol 

Another question for all what does everyone have thier video lag setting at, the default is 50. But I find I'm playing ahead of the music to get a perfect . ??

I think I have a lag in this song too. I have a few misses in the chord part with each attempt, even though I think I am playing well 🤔

However, I managed to improve again:
