Thanks for this week too! I'm very happy my song is chosen in a while.

Bass part

 

This intermediate song is very difficult.

I like this song but the difficult phrase is very difficult in the Lead part. Maybe I can't play the point at all.

interesting i thought it was around the same lvl as nestor but looks like maybe not. I am curious how much you do in the master track song, any chance you'll give it a shot?

I tried the master track, but as soon as I encountered the string alternating (my brain doesn't like the alternating fingering in 2 different strings coupled with left hand motion or the plucking different strings in the same fret downwards), the length of the song and the vibratos I saw that it was above my playing level 🤣  

I can see that there are repeating patterns (not as much as in the advanced), so it's not like some bass lines that feel like a solo or a jazz improvisation.

But if definitely feels harder than the advanced songs (to me at least)

Well after doing some RR on the parts that my brain doesn't like and some endurance practice on the fret top, I can see that it looks more difficult than it is (but I still think it's harder or feels harder than the advanced songs) and it even has some parts that allow my hand to recover 🤣:

First scores of the week! 🤩🤩

Pretty rubbish scores especially on bass! my fingers totally forgot where the 5th and 7th fret were! If I can't improve on these scores i'm doomed!!!

Some improvements (on advanced):

 

Harmonics on 6th string 9th fret don't want to be detected. And actually I do not hear them harmonized. Bends most of times doesn't detected too.

Nice detuned song for beginner my bass don't like It but I do

INter

Real fun advanced song 

I can probably get this one a tiny bit higher if I can nail the fast chord transitions in the strumming section.

First try on Bang. Fun one to play, so I might try to work on it some.

I Decided to play this one again as I LOVEEE it! Great chart @ Hameron  ! Small improvement. Probably lost all my score towards the end. 

great bonus song first attemp

second a little better

Late start this week

Nice song, slightly above beginner level. 

Another cool song. However, here the bass comes to the fore, so I can't wait to play it.

The solo increases difficulty level here.

This surprised me, a very pleasant riff to play.

Hard, some awkward chords, and solo is beyond my reach.

 

 

no, it´s not superhard, i´m just superbad on those chords

 

 

 

 

 

 

bass

 

 

 

I think my biggest problem and the reason why I have a lot of MISS here is "DT Drop" pedal. Or i'm just as bad as usual 🥲
