phhh... helluva bass week
exactly the same diff (8)

i think i would have ended with the same order there

 

 

 

This is mostly about speed, not good for me, but if you have the speed you can nail it.

King Gizz for fun.

Nice bit of bass with some good fills.

Oof

Good start

could you re-do the list so it shows new "weirdness" in the songs list, please?

I pasted the code from the selection sheet again and didn't delete anything.

 

Fun song to play, I think I'd give this one at least an 8.

Hahahaha!

Yes - reimplement the code please.
@kay - do you think next time we try something new we should tell someone? - ..... i think no 😉

LOL... of course...

just got pulled away from the computer after making the changes and then completely forgot 🙂

 

i forgot to post my mc result last week 😅

my result this week

gob result

Update on my Score:

 

Seems to hate my stumming on this, gonna try a different guitar

 

Different guitar helped, will give it one more go.  I normally score a little better with this guitar, but, oddly enough it is not as fun to play.

easy but lovely song! 

 

I used to play in a Queen tribute band for years, many years ago so Queen are always welcomed for me!

We never did Innuendo live, maybe it was difficult to render on stage, so I never studied it properly. I love it more than other I used to play with the band

 

Ouch I thought that the solo was the problem, but I really underestimate some riffs

Needs some hours to get to 90% and beyond

congrats to @ coldrampage and @ nlbsmglsk for the high scores on rhythm, you guys don't mess around yeah 😄

@ Bottledpat12 how much did you do as % on the lead one you posted? approximately. it seemed high from the score

 

 

 

Much better, gonna put this guitar away now...

First tries for the week...this is definitely one of the more tame John Deacon basslines:

Like many from KGLW, this bassline really pushes/stretches me beyond my current level while still being fun to play:

+ lead.. must revise my diff rating its (7.5-8)

 

 

 

rhy +

 

 

 

I forgot to make a screen for all lead paths so rhythm for now

I'm glad you like it, chill, enjoy song.

Pretty fast tempo, but basically just the basic power chords here.

We don't often have a chance to play the Queen song in the championship, because most of their greatest hits are ODLC. I really like Innuendo, especially the middle opera / instrumental section. Queen musicians were great at combining genres into one composition.

A nice composition, but more interesting to play on the bass.

needs more learning and riff repeating. my random arpeggios in the middle are awful to hear 😄 

Lead

The solos destroyed me in those two songs...
