@ 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 😄.

Yeah, those chords were close to kick the file, only fact that allowed me to shut both eyes and wave it through that it´s only 2 times at the end and thus won´t affect the score big time and on the other hand in both cases RS did register either playing the (Fret1-3part) F octave as well as the (Fret3-5Part) small F chord, as well as the C7chord with open b string.
The song is just great to play and there are sadly no constant competitors in Beg rhy, so the risk of getting stoned for those i took and really was wondering if even anybody would comment, which luckywise happened!

Rock!

Intermediate Bass

improvement

 

 

Beginner Lead

Inter Rhythm

 

the xmas song that I like. I had to trim the image even though the original was less than the max kB.

Thanks for another great week! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!

mc rhythm +

Bad recognition in the last part at the 20-22 frets, so i got X.

better...

 

better again...

i believe it could be even better as starting to get the two bridges at the end, but no more time, unfortunately.

 

 

can we create a bonus track for mc lead in which I can play jimmy ponder at 50% o 60% speed? maybe so I get a change to get some chords right 😆
Just kidding!

Bass

 

I haven't had much energy for playing, been a pretty rough week. But playing those tunes on Xmas Eve was fun, much better than the carols they play at the supermarket for sure. 

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas. Rock on!

Bass (Masterclass) - 98.78% 

Rhythm (Adv) - 72.8%

Lead (Adv) - 72.7%

can't do better, the quick bends and tricks on the pentatonic scale are tough for me

Exactly, which is why I still think it's more of a masterclass.

For me, this is rather the best score I can achieve. 90% out of my reach.

 

First runs for the week (did these earlier in the week but forgot to post):

And improvements on ADV:

I generally don't love bass parts with lots of slides but these are not so bad.

Merry Christmas to all!

@ jellisjenius Ah good scores, Driving Home For Christmas is not easy to do 100%.

Also, I thought that my 99% on the Twisted Sister song might be enough to win, because due to the smaller amount of notes and a lot of slides, it's easy to lose % there. But I see you only made 1 miss so congrats on your win 🙂

My last scores for X-mas week:

I had to play this magic song again!

Merry Christmas everyone! And see you in a special winter week that may start a little later today.

This is how far I got in the 15 mins I found to play today.

Merry Christmas everyone!
