Could be a 4.5/5 just for the tiresome constant same riff.

could not better In master would try again but hand hurts

 

Just happy to survive with zero strikes.  Sure seems a lot longer than three minutes...

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... 

I pick strictly Alternate ,there is a part where the pick changes from starting with a downstroke and second time round  starts on a an upstroke. Not sure if this is the part you are talking about but It does throw the right hand off.

WOW started at 80% speed been at It all night . Real Happy with that score 
 

98.34% to be exact

Decided to start with the Bass this week, since I haven't participated in this portion the last few weeks.  

Steve Harris, enough said right.  While I prefer Geddy Lee and Paul McCartney as my bass heroes, Steve definitely has his style and does it amazingly well.  That gallop at speed is insane.

Fun picks @ Rodman , thanks for hosting.

For the ultimate Steve Harris Gallop check out, Run To The Hills. Its Insane . 

 

 

A little better

hi

First lead scores

I have to admit that these P!nk songs that we play in the championship are great for beginners.

You can immediately see that it's an old chart (2014). Playable but lacking a bit to current standards.

Oh, I didn't know that Maiden song. Great to play like most of their charts.

Lovely melodies!

Minus for charter for adding many pitched slides to 1st fret, very difficult to recognize for me, many misses from this...

Rhythm

 

Got through it, but, it was not good at all

Pink is always nice to play and always true beginner, (2) here

 

 

 

so is the BH Gang, always fun, always easy - easy Int here (4)

 

 

 

great short track by the Maiden Boys, (7)

 

 

 

Lovely tune!

I always wonder how classic black metal never grew more popular. Really intense, damn hard still easy to listen and melodic music. Maybe those church burners and true satanists involved are responsible for that...

 

 

 

well... i might be biased - i listened closely here and FOR ME it´s easy listening, even chillout music, but i am very used to it as a friend of mine listens exclusively to BM an we spent a lot lot of time in the 90s with that.

 

(8) is right for L and R

 

my fingers are burning even after 3:04

 

(7.5) yeah
