didnt know this song was by max martin but im not surprised since that guy was a hit machine. Really good chorus, the verse is kinda forgetable imo, didnt even remember the song till the chorus hit...that being said...makes me wonder if he was also in charge of look what you made me do by taylor cause the verse has similar vibes.

had to attempt the master since @ Daz40  did it 😛 but you are better with timing.

hadnt heard this song from blodhound gang lol. kinda surprised they havent made anything since the hard off album and thats been almost 10 years now time flies....

a short maiden song?? what miracle is this. kinda odd song structure 





 

rhythm




 

i wonder if paparoaches guitarist was a fan of iron maiden...cause last resort riff kinda seems inspired off of this songs riff..just a bit more elaborated..(and i prefer last resort cause thats what i grew up with xD) 

Have a nice new week everyone!

Changed my strings. Rubbed my guitar with lemon oil. Start fighting!

I remember  this one... A lot of suns ago I was there... But today I'm not ready for this.

 

A tiny bit at a time - as the old comedians used to say: I'm here all week, folks.. 

 

 

First lead score group for me this week.  Gonna have to do a little catching up on the Iron Maiden to get close to the respectable scores I expect to see from some of the other competitors this week.   

That hurt...alot...

First scores, a lot of work to do in Genghis Khan 

 

That's pretty hard, I think the only thing that saved me was I very familiar with the song.

 

Not much better, need some RR for this.  

Thanks for adding this week's championship.

 

I Maybe I can't play the guitar this week anymore, so I will post.

 

 

 

Seems much harder than a 6 to me.  I got a pretty good score, however, I did not play it that great (same with the lead).  I feel rocksmith was very forgiving, excited to practice this one. 

Yikes, need to get better at reading charts like this.  Gonna shift back to Maiden, for now, much more my style.

A bit more:

More improvements:

 

Starting to get comfortable with it

If any of you guitarists can help a finger-picker out, I'd appreciate any suggestions on  right-hand technique for the repetitive figure near the end of lead part on Genghis Khan  (also appears briefly in rhythm).    I've got to where I can play that cleanly at about 90% speed, but my right hand picking pattern falls apart faster than that.   Starting at the E, my current picking pattern is: u(p),d(own),d,u,d,u,d,u.    Thanks in advance... 

 

hi

 

Dunno whats wrong, i tried to play on song beat, but got a lot of  "early"...

 

Here are a few

Still can't beat my very first Pink try. Unlucky misses in the middle of the rhythm parts.  

Still on the road to 100%.

Two misses left 🤭

I guess the guitar change helped today, Epi 59 LP has lower action than my SE DGT, seems to improve my accuracy by 2.26%. 

 

I didn't do the math, but I don't believe the increase in accuracy is proportional against all songs and styles unfortunately

 

Some great improvements 

getting used to the patterns, but still not comfortable 

This is for sure a great song and a great challenge 

Missing summit there
