@ PoneyNinja Great that you are here! Have fun and rock hard!

Great selection! Does it last two weeks for Christmas? I'd like to have the time to play the song properly, even the more difficult ones!

 

I've started from one of my fav bands, Halestorm (I've seen them live the first time when they were the assist group for Alter bridge in 2011)

first try was 85%, those bendings are quick quick quick, damn Lzzy you are a born rockstar!

I think the issue is with this song it has so few notes if you mess up the solo part you are in for a bad score.  I really messed up the solo here.

Edit - Yes, I remember the good old times before the ghost town.

 

This one is a tough read for me...

Much bettah

For me this is 7.5-8, a bit too hard riffs for me.

And this is Christmas nightmare...

lovely song, a pleasure

classic

this one below for me is like 7. I've studied it a bit too but the chords and the changes are tough for me. Maybe it's only for me. Beautiful song

nice, messed up sightreading the solos as usual (that are not difficult per se)

this one is imho a 7 max, fast and tight changes but essentially only power chords and predictable rhythm

That's why I initially rated this a 6. When I create CDLC I thought it wouldn't be difficult, but these quick chord changes like this

turned out to be more difficult than I thought.

Rhythm chords, although some unusual ones, are not difficult, because it is quite easy to change fingers when changing chords and there is more time for it.

 

A Christmas miracle I got through this

Sight read.

 

Still bad. Will get better.

 

Botched that chord run again, but, the rest I did Ok.  I think I'll move on...

 

I see what people are saying, got a better score than the Eagles with my first play.  However, I bet my improvement will go slower with this one.  We shall see....

 

Don't play like this at all, will take a long time to get anywhere on this.  Back to Halestorm for now...

@ Rodman

Sorry to be a nuisance this week, but yeah, I was just playing a Ventures song on Rhythm and saw this (screens). I don't know how this is a beginner. I can't play this chords 🙂.

Unless we consider these chords wrong and don't count them, because C7 in this form seems impossible to play if you don't have 6 fingers 😄.
