We get a Da Capo, and a great one...

I am fixing the dl links at the moment, after that i´m doing winners.

Done.

Enjoy!

@Rodman I was about to complain, that I totally rocked the the Adv. Rhythm too, with a superb score of 98.9, but then double checked and realized I had uploaded the wrong screenshot. 🤦‍♂️

Too late is too late. You are the well earned rhythm winner!

... but just for proof and that everyone can see the magnitude of my failure:

Not sure who let me win for last week, but thanks! Haha

Little Red Corvette is in no way Masterclass for bass. The song is ridiculously easy until the little flourish about 3/4 of the way into the song. It could be an Intermediate bonus.

@ Rodman You forgot the second week of God of Bass 😉

Hi Folks. I've lurked here for ages. I will finally have a go, and will start at the bottom. Only been playing for a year or so, and not consistently. Maybe if I turn up to this each week I will play / practice more and improve. Thanks. Andrew.

Starting at my old max from back then w131 on 1st try, nice

 

 

 

This week was fun! I agree that Little Red Corvette should be intermediate at highest, everything is pretty easy until the fill. Simple Plan was fun as hell and Fishbone caught me off guard with the super fast picking at the end. King Crimson is just fun as hell!

oh yeah, so much better. that´s so on the edge of my speed

 

 

 

gonna check for the bass situation, fear not.

we did have price as tribute then, so no ratings

Thx, corrected that!

 

I think we exchange MC and ADV Bass and have a rather easier week, but there is a great GOB track 😉

watch out!
Changes in Bass Classes:

 

Advanced: Prince - Little Red Corvette (6)

Masterclass:  King Crimson - The Court Of The Crimson King (7)

 

arpeggios, oof


I'll have to SA this later.

It's surprising, but I haven't played any of these songs before.

This is difficult for beginners. I would give it a 5 because of the fast main riff. Have there been such good players here in the past that beginner songs were so difficult? 😉

Easier I think.

I don't believe. A song with a pure acoustic tone, and in this CDLC we have some distortion. It sounds terrible, why was it done?

This is pretty cool, I admit I don't know Prince's discography very well...

 

Fun little song from a unique band...I think it's technically higher than a 3 difficulty for the fast strumming bits at the end especially if you are finger picking it:

I'm a Prince admirer and I like this song but the bass chart is mostly rather boring to play:

 

And this is a prog classic:

You really gotta play @fripponomics updated version... i will post a link!

Tenacious D - Classico ... improved version in terms of tone and sections in RR (all the notes are the same) by @ fripponomic

 

You really should use that!

That´s such a pity - i would have loved to have a fight till close to 100 here!

I recommend checking the leaderboards regularly to anyone! Those are quite up do date these days.

Dang, I thought i'd nailed that

Job done

 

Huge improvement lol

That Tenacious d link seems to be private asks for password??

@ Rodman

try again, shall be fixed!

Lead beginner... yea right got to be a 4.5 -5 surely 

And that weird G on the top three (thinnest ) strings after the E power chord just will not register for me, second one is fine ??

will be fun to see the beginner scores this week . Phew!! 

Bloody fun to play though Favourited.

Hey I have exactly the same accuracy on score attack, your score is 25K higher so your timing is better than mine! I think it's the 'slide' from the 10th fret in the middle of the song that I'm not getting right. 

Lead Intermediate 5 but for lead part 4.5

Well i love a song with a twist ending.  fun
