Absolut! Weiter so!

That week there is no Int Rhy song, and no lead Beg - so go for Whole lotta love and Blind Guardian.
You can choose the class you want to be put in for each instrument independently, and you can always paricipate in any class you want, but you will only be able to win yours,and you will only get points in yours and above!

Rock, Mann!

Good week, I'll have to give these a few more goes.

Hi. I'm also new around. I discovered this song yesterday and it's very addicting.

lead:

Rhythm:

bass:

Tried playing with a pick, dunno what happened, but half the notes didn't register.

Frustrating....

So I have to confess that while I love to listen to Led Zepp I generally find JPJ's basslines more frustrating and nonintuitive and not so enjoyable to learn/practice. Whole Lotta Love might be one of the biggest offenders. It's rhythm guitar basically - repetitive chord changes and not really creating an interesting backbone to the song. And of course there's a huge gap in the middle of the song. I know this was from a previous championship week but I would argue it's not a good choice for bass and certainly not for beginners. Anyway:

This on the other hand is a solid intermediate track though it does become a bit repetitive:

Not really advanced aside from the fast strumming but reasonably enjoyable to play:

And this one is epic - kicked my a$$ but in a good way:

I had to come back one day, so here I am (Once again). Here's my score for Ktulu! By the way, I hope you all had an awesome christmas and can't wait for new year

Hello after Christmas!

 

 

 

Hiyaa, let´s go

 

Hurt my left thumb today helping to get rid of some 50 yo TVs... man those are heavy beasts.

Playing hurts a lot... still - what a great great song

 

 

 

2nd reaches my old best

 

 

 

i like my 1st try rhy attempt

 

 

 

+ lead

 

 

 

also i agree with my first bass run after years here, of course no pick or whatsoever used

 

 

 

so cool, great file, @ Nacholede

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure I'll get another chance to play anything this week but managed to get a tiny bit of playing in.

Not bad but not good enough to beat @ Rodman . I'll be away from my bass for the weekend so Happy New Year all!

Bass:

Probably won't have time to improvements, so Happy New Year! 🍾
