I hope everyone enjoys, a few difficulties this week feel a bit more malleable than others I've put together so give them all a shot and have fun.

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

Because of family stuff there's a possibility that I won't be able to play for the rest of the week. So here's where I am at the moment:

The chart is not accurate, at least to my ears, but it is in sync with the rhythm and playable, so ok in my book. Low 8 in the difficulty department.

Not my jam. I haven't seen the movie, but judging from the lyrics I guess I wouldn't like it either. I watch a lot of kids movies and cartoons with my kids,  and some of them just send the worst message possible imo.

not sure if its nostalgia or something else...but i really feel  like older disney movies had better soundtracks than this haha but to each their own i guess

pretty solid riff

didnt know they were italian/ had songs not in english. pretty cool!

No  enthusiasm for this, sorry.

I really enjoyed all these songs.

76

 

83

 

HAH 85... that´s +25 on my initial scores, but i saved myself - if i had not reached that today i would have had to bootup Disney+ and watch the movie :D

what is life without a lil self applied pressure

what a bad bad voice, normally i can go along with disney music or even like it... not that

pleasure for the ears

 

 

Just a couple plays 

I don't know how to get those harmonics on the 14th fret

 

I'm slacking off and getting rusty on bass

 

Had to borrow a friends guitar for this one since i dont have one that has 24 frets my max is 21/22 . i think the way its tabbed makes it a bit more tricky to play than it could be. Especially the rhythm version of this song lots of jumping around the fretboard for those high notes. but it was fun/challenging regardless



riff repeated this quite a bit and let me tell you im not fine lol. Also if someone can do the 14 harmonics in the intro can you teach me please? ive tried the press fret 2 left hand and strum/harmonic/tapting  at 14  right hand and it sounds right but it never detects? 

Finally had time to give everything another shot!

 

There we go, Bruce Dickinson is quite finicky.

All the other songs been quite simple after a couple tries.

Overall I would say fun week!!! 

 

As it turns out, where there's a will, there's a way.

Seeing your scores over the past few weeks, I have no doubt that you should be in masterclass on bass. This week, every song is not easy to achieve 100%, and you did it on your first try, probably not even sweat on it 🙂

Bass

i don't even know bruce have solo album 😅

@ Bottledpat12 Watch out.

Albums* 😉 He has released a total of 6 albums, I don't know them very well myself, but I've heard some really good songs!

From what I can see, you are unfortunately still losing by the longest streak...

nonono theres definatly sweat on my end lol.

i practice and aim for a  95%  or + (cause that was 5 stars in gh lol)  in normal mode riff repeat slowly the hard sections and then jump into s.a.
S.A  doesnt register the number of tries once you reach a certain point like normal mode does. And since i have a bad habit of restarting songs when losing streaks instead of finishing songs (got it from all the guitar hero days reaching 100% on expert songs)  the counter doesnt change ...  also, if i keep messing up the streak i just straight up leave s.a to practice it in riff repeater slowly.

I dont think theres been a song ive 100% first time yet... if there was or is  id mention it. Theres always some tricky thing or something that catches me off guard even in the beginner songs that makes me restart it. 

im still quite the noob, just a noob with some time to kill lol

Ill aim to post a masterclass pic today as i have tried it and it does seem a lot easier/doable compared to the past weeks. But i am nowhere near the level of the contestants on that level just yet.

There's still plenty of time left. I figured victory would taste better if I let him know early, instead of posting in the last minute.

Man... some songs this week for my classes...

i thought i will never get over 80...

 

so here are my entries:

More difficult to play that it sounds... all is great until the mid section...

Similar riff as in Lead and rhythm... always few notes missed in pretty random places...

 

Some other classes:

 

 

Improvements:

I will try to improve it one more time tomorrow.

I didn't choose the Encanto song specifically because it would be either a love/hate thing for people but after I picked it I realized it probably would be. Maybe it is a "I watched the movie thing" but I love the whole soundtrack to the movie and it's actually a pretty great watch, but I've liked the more modern Disney movies more than most of the 90s stuff I grew up with. 

I'm gonna try to get a bit more playing in today if I can, I will probably focus on bass since I think that's probably the best overall path this week. Might try to get more practice for rhythm in The Tower just because I love that song so much.

I'll probably try to pick more Dickinson solo stuff for my weeks because it eclipses everything Maiden put out in the 90s at the same time. Tyranny of Souls obviously overlaps his return and is in my mind probably the weakest of his solo stuff, but I still like it.
