Congrats to all the winners and holy hell what a week for the bass players, So many 100s. You guys should be proud as this was a hell of a competition for the bass players this week. @ @@MilkmanDan @@NoonyDeloony @@doyleman7 @@acorlett2005 @@ScottLP Great job on the 100% bass scores to all of you. Really great competition this week between you all. I love seeing that as we don't get many Bass players so its great to see a week of awesome bass players and scores. I may be joining you guys this week on the bass side we shall see. 

 

P.s. Please, see changes in Championship Class Lists!

Yay, that's mine 4th straight win in different category, though last 3 was because I was alone (eligible).

@@Mortalo I think it was fair win.I sure someone had more bad score and simple don`t post there. 

 

Nice song! And great tones, very good CDLC.

First Try

That main riff is awesome.

Got a 66% on full steam. This is going to be a tough one for me, but it looks like a fun one to play.

@@MaZtoR Yes, this song enough hard for intermediate, but is not crazy hard. Use RR with low speed. I sure you get at least 80%.

 

Pleasure to play a funny song INT. 

http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx32/Andy_Vehero/2014-06-14_00008_zps74a4156a.jpg

Fun but fast!

The main riff isn't a problem until I push above 85%; then I've got about 4 thumbs on the fretboard..  ;)

Never heard the song before, so quite pleased.. :)

 

67% and 72 streak - Lead INT.

 

EDIT.. Ahh, nailed it!!

I was having a play of the main riff - just with the guitar on its own. Maybe this will help someone?

On my playthrough, I was moving my 3rd finger off the D string (7th fret) at about the 4th note of the main riff. Obviously it gave me much more to do, so I was tying myself in knots!

 

The trick is not to move that finger (when you plant it on the 7th fret, D string). Leave it there until you go back down the fretboard.. Much easier to play. :)

Will see how that makes a difference after I get my daughter to bed..  ;)

It seems Rhythm INT a little more hard than Lead:

My new baby which i will be trying out very soon

@ What is model LTD? Look nice. Why is it not Bass guitar?  :wink:

 

For beginner. I little replaced the positions fingers for solo in lead (5-8 frets), now there possible get accuracy 100%. And added a tone for bass.  Get there link

p.s. I guess bass part have a few wrong notes, and in riff section too :)

Wanted a new guitar for alternate tunings and I'm not ready for a bass yet i want to make sure I'm as good as i can be on guitar first before moving on to another instrument. 

Its an ESP MH-100QMNT 

 

I bought it at Guitar Center just a little while ago

Tried a few Bass guitars today and just didn't feel like I 'connected' with them.. :(

I don't think I'm ready either. I'm concentrating on guitar for now.

 

Doesn't mean I'm not thinking about buying another guitar though!  ;)

I didn't actually know any of the songs this week except for Crazy Train -- and both of the others sound like good fun!  That is a big part of why I joined in here, finding new music that is outside of my usual sphere, so should be fun to play through them all.  :)

 

And although the GNR song for MC last round was fun enough and a good challenge, I really like Crazy Train -- so I'll have to see what I can do!

 

 

Was especially fun to see all the bass players last week, including the jaw-dropping numbers on Welcome to the Jungle by Thrallsa and several others with very impressive scores.  That song was quite tough for me, but I was happy with my improvement on it from my first play to last try -- mostly due to the fun of the competition here.  So thanks to all for that, and I'm glad I joined in!   :cool:

 

Good luck to everybody this week.

First run of the day; I might be able to shoot for 100% this week if I have enough time to practice :D

Failed outro a song. Lead BEG,  :)

I never get 100% in Bass MC. impossible for my sections with fast picking 4-skip-2 string. There best at today after a lot time and attempts:

Hi guys, i'm new here.

 

Can i join this championship? I play on bass

@@BRUTAL Of course you can. Welcome aboard and lets go. Have fun. Post your screens with accuracy, and you with us :)

Tried the bass on all 3 songs:

 

Wanderer (BEG), 1st try:

Might have got a 100% on first try, but my daughter (18 months old) decided to help a bit in the middle.  :)  Nice and easy, fun song, but the bass charting is definitely a bit off in a few places.  Most noticeable in what I'd call the interlude, the 5 low difficulty (short purple bars) sections between two much higher difficulty sections (according to the graph -- nothing in the song is really difficult), about 1/3rd of the way through the song.

 

 

 

Crazy Train (MC) -- 1st try today, but I downloaded it sometime a long time ago and had 1 trial run from back then.  The bass chart is much better than what it was back then -- looked perfect to me now.  Tone is pretty twitchy on my setup though (my main/5-string bass is noisy due to poor wiring) so I tone switched to something more neutral:

I think I've got a much better score in me on this one.  I don't expect a 100%, but I'll improve on this for sure.

 

 

 

Full Steam Space Machine (INT) -- My skillset doesn't jive with this song as much as Crazy Train, so this one actually felt like a MUCH harder song (to me anyway).  All those octave hops with a skipped string in the middle, plus the pretty quick shifting up and down the fretboard kicked my butt, so I managed a healthy 83% accuracy on my 1st try.   :???:  So, I think I'll back-burner this one until I get an accuracy/score that I'm happy with on Crazy Train.

Again the  MC song lead and rhythm far away out my league. Fed to the teeth. :)  score:

P.s I changed tones in a MC song by Ozzy. lead and bass. Welcome: Download Link 

 

@@MilkmanDan Steam machine enough easy to play on bass fingered, it same, as on "Crazy train" in parts, where very fast play 4str-skip-2strx2(2-4 fret) - it is unplayable for my with accuracy, but there more slow.

Tried Crazy Train again with your tone update @ -- huge improvement to the bass tone for me, thanks!

 

Seems to have helped my accuracy, too.  I think I may have a 99% in me on this one -- that'll be my goal for the week!

 

 

I also see you are right about the interval being the same in Crazy Train and Space Machine (octaves, so skip a string and up 2 frets).  I had somehow convinced myself that Crazy Train was just a 5th, so no string skip -- but you are totally right.  That part will definitely hold me back in this song too...  But at least it is just a short section that happens what, 2 times in the song?

I hope on 100% :) But while:

http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx32/Andy_Vehero/2014-06-15_00010_zpsbe619581.jpg

First scores and I am sure I can do much better on all on the Ozzy one I went from 45% to 62% so at least i saw somewhat of an improvement over the last time i tried to play this song.

I beat my score on Bass Royal Republic and and at the same time make video :) New score 99.55%  str 397.

And now very sore fingers  :grin:

@ That's a great score (especially considering you just started bass a few weeks ago, it took me months before I could play that well!). I have trouble with that fast section too, having to stretch your fingers that much without missing a beat isn't easy!
