loosely reminds me of Crazy Train. 7 is fine for me, but no more

And now, my challenges for this week in bass and lead... I like this Marillion song! Is it in 5/4 or something?

For now I am happy I reached 90% after some RR sessions...

The time signature of the Marillion song was perplexing to me as well, so I looked into it a bit.  Turns out has verse sections in 7/8, more standard  time signatures appear as well.  A transcription can be purchased from progmusicshet, the first page preview is available for free:

Is there a way to clear a score on Learn a Song? I did the whole Marillion song in practice at 50% and got 97% (I usually only do a couple of sections). And now I don't know if I'm improving or not (I strike at Score Attack)... 😞

I don't know how to clear the mastery for a song, I'd assume this tool might help with it https://ignition4.customsforge.com/tools/cfsm

If that doesn't work, what I like to do each day is select the full song in riff repeater at 50%(Or whatever fits the speed for practice) play through it and note down how many misses I have before I start practising specific parts.

That way I usually have some sense of progress almost every day(Either fewer misses, or I'm able to increase the speed a bit)

Thanks! I'll try it that way. I'm always open to new methods of training/practicing 🙂

I usually used the score to get back to songs that I haven't played for a while (and after a month I usually could see improvements, be it from better reading, more practice, etc). In the first weeks I had many songs in the 70% or 80%, but now only the harder ones are below 90%

oh i´m rusty after 7 days without guitar

 

 

 

better

Nothing but wonderful.... did blues soloing all the way where there was "time" with no idea what chord to continue with .. so cool (3)

The Gates of Hell bass reminded me of the bass in Poison's Nothin' but a Good Time...

I'm not really sure if I'm posting the screenshots correctly, would appreciate any advice from experienced members.  I posted these two together on Sunday, but they didn't seem to get picked up in the scoresheet even though later posts did.   Should I be posting each screenshot as a separate post, or is there some other issue I'm overlooking?   I'll be traveling away from the computer for the next two weeks and this is my last chance to fix any errors I may have made for this week's scores.      And thanks to everyone for welcoming me to this great community, I'm having a blast...
