Not my final word on this, I'm just not feeling well today. Didn't get much sleep last couple of days, and playing guitar in the middle of the night isn't helping.

@ Bottledpat12 Don't get too complacent, I feel like I have a chance on this song, since there's no sweeps or tapping.

No diff ratings from me today, but I agree with whatever @ Mikson says.

yea as i was playing it i knew that you would definitely get a higher score than what i got now

the competition makes it a lot more fun too thats when i get even more perfectionist

Thanks for the feedback...makes sense to me so I made the switch.

@ Mikson - absolutely .... bonus songs don´t get the attantion they deserve anyway, and yeah - the diffs match quite well.
@ jellisjenius - good work!

Took a break from Guitar Man , initial progress on that is slowing somewhat. This is not as tricky, i am finding.

I thought @ johnal  beat my score in advanced lead? Is he participating in Masterclass lead?

It's your win, I participate in the masterclass.

better! no streak because sometimes it doesn't pickup chords properly (or probably I'm not hitting them fully/properly)

 

First attempts for the week. I'm on double-shifts all week, so I'm getting these in early as it may be the only practical chance I've got.

Another day, another dollar I guess...

Coming from so long playing bass back to guitar, Bread Man has reminded me how much I suck at chords and arpeggios on the 6-string! Lol. 

Really digging the Hawkwind song too. Love that band.

Beginner & Intermediate songs.

3 for both paths.

Lead 5, Rhythm 4.

 

A hair better, will need to RR this one (hopefully will have time to play this again).  As for now, I must get my guitar out of drop D.  It just feels wrong 🙂

Improved

Ouch my sightreading is very bad on the solo

Indeed! The one i missed to post last week...
Thx!

Am I the only one who's getting note detection issues on the arpeggio in the song Blossom? Especially the second 4th on D (F#) after the open G string. I play it correctly but nothing to do, and also some other notes. Tried with 2 guitars, one with floyd rose, one with hipshot bridge.

I think I also had a bad note recognition on this CDLC. And not only in the arpeggios, but even the power chords registered worse than usual.

yes me too, but the one in the arpeggio is very "objective"
