Well, that is an impressive score for a month of playing.

@ TinMan86 Don't get discouraged once progress starts to slow down.

Thanks man. Im under no illusion that this was likely more luck then anything. Still a great feeling to get 100%. Ill try and move up to intermediate ASAP and really challenge myself 

Likewise, as @ diceslinger mentioned, I find many of the Iron Maiden songs very enjoyable to play. Especially most songs from later albums are playable for someone who is not a guitar king 😉

On Rhythm path don't know why I have a bad recognition on 9-13 frets riff part, which is why I lose 2-3% of the overall accuracy...

This is ok.

Some Bass

This is 2-3 max I think

6.5

6.5

This great song has been selected in the championship for probably the 3rd time since I joined. I managed to beat 90% for the first time so I happy 🙂

Rhythm Advanced 

Love this song sounds so like the old maiden will have to give the whole album a listen.

first full playthrough

Improvement 

I entered into the worksheet some of the previous week's scores for this week's songs before they were moved. I hope it's ok.

@ Daz40 During your absence here, you must have been practicing hard offline or taking a lesson to come back now and kick our asses 😄 97% on the second attempt? Welcome to the advanced class!

🤣🤣 Thanks but yea RR was used first but then second complete play through. I really want to sight read, I can most of beginner some intermediate,  I really want to get my day streak up I think that's the key, but no havent touched my guitar during my break. I was actually giving my hand some healing time that I never did after a drunken fool. Lol  I dont think I'm ready for advanced though but I love your confidence in me 🤣

Hey guys,

I just saw what you are doing here and think it is an awesome idea (litte late ;)).

I would love to oarticipate and thank you for the organisation.

no revelations this week...

 

Best one so far, but I'm planning on improving it tomorrow.

@ shaggy_malagy Be prepared.

NO way is this Ed sheeran way too cool such a great rockin' tune

and an improvment

 

Got a little lazy with my screenshots and missed this 100% accuracy...oh well. Red Baron is quite fun for a beginner track:

Completely forgot to screenshot Nickelback and won't be playing that one again...

Writing on the Wall - not my favorite from Senjutsu, bass part alternates between tricky and boring for the most part, but overall it's solid:

Then One, which is a hand killer but fun to play:

And Orion...I'm not worthy. Was getting poor recognition on the opening chords but after that it was a fun ride:

And here it is:

Bass inter Love this bass line 

slight improvement in SS
