cool beg (3)

@ Mikson  is she the Polish ESC contestant that year? Cool song really

No, there will be another young generation singer. I admit that I don't follow the national Eurovision qualifying rounds, so I don't really know who's taking part and what determines the selection.
Anyway, Sanah is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) Polish singers of recent years, I know her mainly from the radio, but I know that she can attract tens of thousands of people to a concert, mainly young fans 😉 

oh oh oh slash + myles, very nice pick

congrats to @ RaZrShReD  for his score, I did 75% on the sightreading and this after a bit of practice. It's not impossible, but it's very tight and full of details. Solo is fast.

I did bad also on the grateful - rhythm, but I didn't like the song a lot. I will give other tries anyway

Bass Path, second time trying this championship out, not sure if I am supposed to do score attack or nah?

Score attack gives a more precise score since it does decimals. So i'd suggest it for the song thats in your class but its not necessary. Good 2 see you!

 

First results:

Room for improvement.

This feels very fast and the little slides and pull offs aren't being recognized (or I can't play them well 🙂 ). Tried it a couple of times after riff repeat and got worst results...

This one feels harder (more variations) but I think I can improve it.

You can check the first tab in the scores Google sheet. 

It says you're Bass beginner, if you get a 99.5%+ on bass on a difficulty 3 song you can rank up to the next class
 

There is also Rodman rankings leaderboard where you can earn points on harder songs too even if you're in a lower class for now

Thanks mate.

🎸🎶🌏 CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!! 🌏🎶🎸

YEEAHH!!! 🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩

Let's try again the bass paths I played with @ loudly

---

Nice to play I polish song!!! 

I am not competing in this class, so whenever I can I practice saying the notes in my mind while playing... of course it brings the score down! 😆

---

This song is fun to play, but I need to practice more to achieve a clean execution! I regret playing this song with my fingers.... it hurts! I would say this is totally a song for picking...

---

This is also a really fun song to play! 

---

I was doing MC bass but got a bit tired... see ya tomorrow if possible! 

 

 

First lead score for this week! 🤩

I really had fun playing this one!

Mainly from testing

Lead

I'm not sure if this deserves a difficulty 3. I thought 2.5, but I gave a 3 because of the rather fast licks with pull-offs. The rest is the vocal line and is quite easy.

Here the chat is similar for all paths. It doesn't seem overly difficult, but there may be problems with accuracy due to a lot of pull-offs.

I played this again today after a few months and I improved a bit, but it's a difficult chart to get a high score for me. Other than that, this is a fun song!

A really fun to play Slash song, glad I got to see him and the rest of the band live recently!

thanks for showing me this song, really fun!

 

 

 

Thanks for adding new championship and adinng my requested song.

I played these songs with @aNDESmASAMUNE. That was so fun! My score is bad haha.

 

I practiced these songs again.

And I requested some songs for begginer. I think they are good for practice.

 

This song is hard for my little finger. The pulling off notes.

 

Can't get those 16 on e string and many of the following notes to be recognized in the begonias lead  song, does anyone have any tips to improve it? Or maybe know if it doesn't work for them as well? 

I tried all my knobs and pickup switches and increase the gain but nothing seems to help, my tuner says intonation is perfect

That Ab and the following legato notes on the B string are really stubborn and don't seem to want to be recognized 😂

 

improved mc!

 

I can't really understand how it's possible to play this part of the solo so fast (typical slash lick indeed), i'm very far from doing it properly 😄

 

Rhythm

🎶🎸CHAMPIONSHIP TIME!!!

YEAHH 🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩

---

I barely got to the end of this song! 😅

I like this kind of 70's song. However, this kind of bassline with many little variations is hard for me...

I liked this lead part, with a melody similar to the singer...

---

Fun to play but I had consistent recognition issues... The X in rhythm is because I didn't learn the arpeggios! 😅

 

It might not get better than this for me this week

I hate that feeling early in the week. Having the same prob with my tune.

🎶🎸🍻 CHAMPIONSHIP MAY DAY!!!!

YEAHH!!! 🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩🤟🤩

Today I had a day off because of may day and it was raining... so It was a perfect day to devote to the Championship!!!

----

Now my class in rhythm...

The Slash song has cool riffs!!! However it is hard for me, and just reaching more than 90% feels like an achievement!

After a serious RR session, I could feel a bit comfortable at 95% speed, but at 100% everything crumbles very badly!!! 🤣

 

I kept getting xxx in score attack on  this one so I had to play in learn a song.
