Improvement after RRing the solo...

This is realy good practice for me... Need to concentrate becase the main riff has little variations all the time 😅

damn 11 times playing the great escape thats impressive! 

The song has been a quite long time in my library so it's not so many times after all 😄 I played it yesterday once and managed to improve my best score

🎶🎸🍺 CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!! 🌏🎸🎶

YEAAHH!! 🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩

---

Finally, I am doing what I shoud do every week: practcing hard a song above my level...

So, here it is the second try (after playing it once slower) and the final try after a very long session of RR... I am happy because I achieved my goal of getting more than 90%! ✌️😎

+ bass

 

 

 

yes, that´s ok

first bass scores of the week!🤩

i'll definitely be able to improve on this.

GOB score. I can't remember the last time I got under 90 % but this made my hands hurt! Just as well we have 3 weeks to work on this one.

Such a groovy song! @ Mystic530  has done some excellent funk CDLC and are always great fun to play!

It's good practice for me too, the main riff is the main thing I need to work on for sure
Navigating a pentatonic with accuracy like that should be a basic skill to have, but it's still quite hard for me, no matter if it's 70% or 100% speed😅

I'll practice some each day and we'll see if it's gonna be enough until Saturday 😁

 

 

 

alt lead:

Bass

improvement, gonna be hard to get better than this. that one fast tricky lick after the octave part is throwing me off!

I am definitely not ready for intermediate. 😅

I'm ashamed to even post a screenshot of my score, I can't play that at all. Way above my skill level.

I'm struggling with the beginner song this week.

I found the bridge in this song to be a little tricky for a beginner as well. Or I'm not that good at speed reading the high end of the G yet. The intermediate song sounds and plays more intuitively for me I think.

I'd say don't worry about it and try out at least the intermediate song as well 😁
I think we're all here to learn and get better too 😊

And playing those octaves on bass is not the easiest thing to get good at on bass as well - I'm in the 'advanced' category in bass and still struggle with that too

The middle part really screws me up. I think last week was easier because it's more the style I'm used to playing.

I'm trying, but I can't play it at all. If I get over 50% I'll post my score. I'm that bad at it.

first play of the day looks promising
