Let us know your opinions on the accuracy of the difficulty scores (1-10) for this weeks songs.

Good week - please require the bass only (SlickWilly) version of Kayleigh though as the other one has some missing notes and will be easier. 

I played Kayleigh's CDLC on bass (CDLC with all paths) and the difficulty felt appropriate, but ok I left the bass only version for the Bass class, as suggested by Jellisjenius, because this is his choice.

Also, we have a new single from Muse this week - I like it, sounds nice and it's much harder on bass than guitar. We also have a song from this year's Sabaton album, one of the album's top songs that I particularly like a great solo on.

As the CDLC of the full album The Blackening does not include bass, I added famous Heaven And Hell album as a GoB. This CDLC have only bass, and Black Sabbath songs are always a good proposition for bass players, so i think it's a good choice!

Hmmmm. Break out the Tele and play Man or Astro-Man? or break out the Gretsch Junior Jet bass and play Man or Astro-Man? What a fun conundrum!

Broke out the Tele first, but am no where near mastering the song. Grabbed the bass and had fun.

nice bass chart there

 

better

 

and a good one (all but two i think)

 

not too easy

I love Muse, one of the bands i discovered here in the CS. just great

 

hard beginner (3.5-4)

was surprised by the first fast muted series, that killed my score there

oh (no) a nother so needed arpeggio exercise

 

it´s a (6.5) for all, for me 8

 

dance vibes here (6)

 

not sure how i can go months without breaking a string then break 3 high e's in a week??

Thanks for another great week! I figured I would get my scores in early for once! Haha 

Intermediate. I've never heard of this band before but I really like the song, listening to more of them for sure!

Int. Bonus. Loved the B Standard tuning....perfect for my 5'er!

Beg. I had to play some more ELO!! 

Advanced......I gave it a shot, guess I gotta keep working on this Hahaha

 

Kayleigh is pretty fun, gotta spend some time with it

Not sure where all the misses keep coming from, maybe I'm playing the rhythm wrong?

Nice bit of sabaton.

Really?

Bass scores

Wish it was not SA. I will probably have problems to repeat this attempt.

Not so good, needs improvement.
