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

 

I think this can be FCed

 

what I love of Nightwish is that all their riffs and solos are melodic and full of details, pinch harm, palm muted, accelerations and so on

Improvements Lead

99% in 5 diff lvl song is really nice score for me.

Rhythm

Some bass playing:

I dunno. This doesn't sound like surf. I'm not getting the Dick Dale, Ventures, Chantays, Astronauts, Lively Ones vibe at all! Not even surf-adjacent.

 

I thought I got them all that time, ooops

 

Seems more difficult than a 6, fun to play.   

 

this is not only a song, but especially a workout for the right hand 😂 needs a lot of stamina to keep up.

 

 

 

Day 1. Listened to them first then sight reads.

Second time through

 

First time through

my fingers are so sore after Lead Beg and Int.

I'm not really used to so many bands... and probably I am catching the strings wrong way, thus the pain...

 

I also think that is more difficult than a 6 (as @ johnal  said), maybe on par with Juanes

The solo is not charted properly (but is technically ok), I've seen from youtube lives and covers that they play it using the open string and not moving around the 12th (it becomes definitely easier)

 

 

 

Bass

RIP Jerry Lee Lewis.  There was a false alarm on Wednesday, but todays news is for real.

Killer was the last man standing of the original '50s rockers.  Rock and Roll is officially dead.  Long live Rock.

 

A tribute will follow later tonight.

Thanks for another awesome week!
