Oh ….

500 weeks. No idea what to say…

But i don´t think there is anything to say – except….

You made us a hell of a week guys!!! Thx!

Only players´ favorites that week, and hell do we have a bunch of bangers there. I really recommend everyone to play all songs (except maybe bass mc 😉 , what a toughie). Also we are not doing without some Maiden and some Tallica, unplayed song and album.

Just have a hell of a week!!!!!

Thx!

Rod.

Getting this little improvement was quite a challenge!

👇In this part, instead of playing RED10 (which is D) and then changing the position to play Yellow5, it is better to stick to the same position and keep playing RED10!  

I never get tired of this.

* - highest difficty in the class, you can advance to higher class if you get >99% on Lead or Rhythm or >99.5% on Bass

^ - song with difficulty higher than the highest class difficulty, you can advance to higher class too.

Thanks for clarifying it since I didn't know it either! 

oh yes, 99

 

 

 

and fot tha lead

 

 

 

OH MY GOD

with my last possible try for the week

 

 

OFF TO MC, a good week to remember

 

Rest of the rhythm songs 'cept GOR

Oh yea, this is a  fun one.

Had to try the bass too, no bass tone tho rip.

Wew long boi.

@ Rodman  If I achieve 99.5+ in 'She's Kerosene' (which seems possible to me) will I be forced to lvl up to the masterclass which I don't want? I'm asking because I don't know if I should take this challenge 🙂
Also, I don't quite understand your desire to lvl up to the masterclass if you didn't win often in the advanced class and it still seems like a challenge to compete in this class, just like for me and @ jellisjenius .

Lead & Rhythm improvements

@ LuZifeR  score in this song is from another galaxy.  🙂

I don't like fighting close to 100% too much, because every accidental miss or unrecognized note annoys me.

maybe i should give arctic monkeys a chance..enjoyed it more than i thought i would!

this one was cool but i forgot to take ss when i finished playing the song. so i just wanted a ss to prove i played it once. even if it doesnt count. 
 
Love this song 🙂 played it 4 more times cause its short but got progressively worse so lets ignore that. I did forget the solo was tabbed kinda more complicated than it needs to imo/ some small tweaks that could make it a bit more sightview friendly...I might do a version of it later tonight if i have time. Count numbers reseted since i started a new profile not too long ago.


this song makes me want to play my sharona by the knack or jet are you gonna be my girl

cool song! havent heard key changes/ modulations in a long time..feel like they were really comon and then less people continued doing it.

Didnt know they had a cover of this song. Just remembered playing the original on gh metalica quite a bit. I think this song could be a low intermediate song for rhythm. Honestly just in general, a pet peave of mine is seeing metallica in the advance category when almost every beginner guitarist (atleast here) tries to learn metallica and plays it. But maybe thats just my experience with the band.

 
alot going on in this song  kinda hard without rr.

some tina turner songs:






Yea the title of hers aint wrong. Probably the best of her songs imo (atleast the ones ive played). The rest didnt really catch my attention tbh..not really my style  i think the best mustve been used in some 80s movie i watched cause it seemed familiar and i enjoyed it.

 

yea grats @ LuZifeR  on score thats crazy !

Nobody is forced to level up! No.

Well. It's true. There is great competition in adv for me.... but somehow it feels right to take the challenge.

I'm a bit oldschool here when a song is true top of class and i get a chance to catch the lvl up score - i go for it!

If i get lost i will return!

Quick visit for week 500 🙂  Playing the full album like God Steve Harris intended

Some improvement

Missed one note I think, just enough to level up 🫣

 

Had a great start then messed up a bit at the end...still think I can get 99%+ :

A fail for now, but I think I can learn those 2 riffs and pass it, not sure if I'm able to do it until before the next week begins though, but I'll try😝

 

Got it!

This is max 5 diff and I think everyone will agree.

I learned the first riff and it was enough to pass it 🥳

I think I can 100% it, if I spend more time on it, not sure how much time I got tomorrow, but I'll do my best 😁

I start beating @ Rodman  score. Long way...

I'm not sure if this is a real 7 or more like a 6.5. The whole chart has a similar difficulty, but there is something missing that would really cause problems.

A little better. 99+

After a few restarts, I finally got a great attempt!

Mission to beat @ Rodman  score complete, I can go to sleep. 🙂

I should've recommended a revocation song instead... No time to play lately.
