Great stuff,all new to me so I had to do a couple of laps to see where they were going. Even tried the masterclass song cause it sounded do-able but that second fret E was killing me. Its a good thing you don't have to hear it to see my score. The tuning in the 311 song really tests the limits of the short scale. The marillion tune was my fav.

Keep missing something in this 1 reading the lyrics. 😆

 

 

 

Bass

 

I really like bass charts from Marillion, fun to play! 

I played both versions of CDLC. I recommend playing this one with only bass: https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/50837

This is perhaps slightly more difficult, but the chart contains more details and has slightly different hand positions (fewer empty strings, e.g. 5E instead of 0A string).

This one with the guitar paths is also fine, but I don't like playing a lot of empty strings.

 

 

I remember this being on a tv commercial in target when i visited the us ages ago almost always. i like it lol


nice surprise of a song! pretty easy and fun






i think the intros chords for rhythm are off? like copied pasted in the wrong section or something.

always good to have some steel panther lol

fun song, i think it could be easier played if he had moved some notes to other strings instead...also i dont remember seeing any open notes? thought the lowest was a 2 so im not sure why not just do e standard..but i guess he has other songs in d standard and thats why..who knows.

Decided to give score attack a few tries. I don't know if this is better or worse than my learn a song score? 😅

Thank you a lot @ Hughmonty  for hosting the week!!! 

And welcome back @ nlbsmglsk  !!! 

I am late to the party, so here we go!!!

And now, my class in Lead! 👇 I enjoyed playing this, but it feels more like Rhythm instead of Lead...

This is my class in Rhythm, 👇 but I played the Lead part by mistake!!! 😭 I didn't notice the difference, and just realized now!

It's sad because it won't be a valid score and I think I won't have time to come back tomorrow... 😭

And I think this is the only bass scores I will be able to play this week...

@ cacahuate51

I tried a bit the Tame Impala bass, but for me the tab felt wrong... I did some search and all of them play it something like this:

off topic, but came across this cool cover of Really Got Me by Matteo Mancuso thought i should share. Really love his guitar playing, such clean finger picking technique. enjoy!

he's a machine! but, maybe I will be old school, I dislike the strap stopping the open strings. For me it's like cheating

yeah im the same way as well, but then i saw guthrie govan using it and found it useful myself for two handed tapping licks and some techniques where its impossible to mute open strings from ringing with your fingers or palm. in the case of matteo i guess its necessary as  this fingerpicking technique on electric with strings close together make it hard to keep it quiet in high gain settings...

yes sometimes you can't do otherwise, so that's fine, but in the case of Matteo, then just use a pick 🤣

Yea I've seen people use It for sweeping, tapping and all sorts.l Since Goven It has become more acceptable. Why can they not play with out ? just learn how to mute properly 

improved mc rhythm

also lead

 

Guitar improvements

I thought 96% is a good score, but the competition is at a high level!

I don't like this combination of chords on the D and G strings alternating with the E string. Recognition is poor there, unfortunately. It should probably be moved 1 string down (in Rocksmith up) and 5 frets higher.

Thanks! 😅 Yeah I like some Iron Maiden. My name is in reference to the Doomsday Clock, not 2 Minutes to Midnight, even though the song is in reference to the same thing.

@ LuZifeR  @ cacahuate51  Gotcha! 😆

an improvement after a few cocktails:
