Hello, guys. I'm new here. Self-taught guitarist about 1 year of unconsistent playing.

See a good benefit for myself with participating this friendly challenge of yours

Consider myself as Beginner so here i am......and my results:

Rhythm (Beginner)

Bass (Beginner)

Bass (Beginner Bonus)

 

Congrats to @ Mikson  and the other winners! I hope I continue to fly under the radar as a non-threat in the Advanced Bass category. I feel proud of my improvements as I went from beginner when I started in late 2020 to being in the top 2-3 of Advanced almost every week the second half of 2021. I plan to keep pushing to improve this year so we'll see where that leads.

Had a bend or two that didn't register here:

 

Good live track:

Not the most challenging Steve Harris bassline but still enjoyable:

Lots of fun to play...I know the disco era is often mocked as a terrible time for popular music but as a bassist I have to disagree:

Oh you are on the radar my friend.  You have been putting up some good scores as of late.  The competition is welcome! 

Not much better than previous scores, but still improvements.

Pretty cool song this week. I've been playing a lot of Iron Maiden lately and this is another good track to add to my playlists..

Mostly getting the chords wrong

Happy New Year everybody...

back after holiday.

Class songs only

Rhythm Intermediate - what a song... love Iron Maiden... got 8 misses though.... lack of time to play more

 

Bass Intermediate - also cool song to play... repetitive though... got 1 miss sooner or later somewhere in the middle of the song every time I played

 

bass intermediate bonus - pretty cool to play... 

got few misses though, mainly intro and outro riff 🙂

again, no time to practice to improve...

 

thanks for updating leaderboard... surprisingly I won two categories... hurray... 🥳💪

 

Since the game I'm playing decided it didn't want me to play it anymore I managed to pick up my guitar and bass this morning. (The game is Vampyr and I managed to run into a rare, unfixable bug that is resolved by starting the game over again and hoping I don't run into it once more. Kinda done with it after that).

Iron Maiden - Bass

Iron Maiden - Alternate Rhythm

The Trammps - Bass

Been a bit since I played too much bass but I thought I did okay for myself. I'll be upgrading from an AMD FX 8320 to a Ryzen 2600x in a couple weeks, so I hope that smooths out my framerate and any latency issues and might nudge my numbers up just a bit.

Been hitting them pretty hard this week

I feel like I could post a monster score if I could just get it all to come together.  This one is just so fun to play

So close to 100%

I'm enjoying this one so much I'm wading into the masterclass waters

It was a good attempt.

Too many stupid mistakes.

And Bass improvement.

 

For the life of me, I can't get New Year's Day to show. I've downloaded three times and have the right version but it's just not showing up. A pity as it's a song from my youth I'd enjoy playing. I can't do the start of Iron Maiden (and the repeat later) to save myself. To replace New Year's Day I've played Run Like Hell - a song blasted consistently from my brother's bedroom through the 1980's.

Happy New Year to all.

 

 

Famously great track!

Same issue with U2

@ jellisjenius you are sooo on my radar ;) Great year of yours!!! Keep that up

lil bass +

 

 

 

platinum, still sloppy

 

that i am able to play this one shows me how great it is to be here, once again.

 

@ Boult Upright & @ Quintano

Strange, I don't know why it's not working for you. I see the CDLC download link has been updated by a moderator in 2019, I downloaded this CDLC in 2018, try to use my version which works 100% for me.

Not a huge U2 fan, but this one at least was kinda fun to play:

Hi All

I also had a problem with the U2 song.  I downloaded it and copied to the right fodler but also couldn't see it.

I tried to download it several times again, without any success. After I opened the CustomsForge Song Manager and made a repair on that song and fortunatelly it was shown up in the program.

And here is my result:
