Have a nice musweek everone!

The cure. Nice song with little tricky parts.

MM. I didn't take a note. So let's think this song is nice too 😄

 

311. Nothing is clear, but it is very interesting 🤣

 

Happy Sunday everyone! 

This one was harder than last week's Beginner song for me, had to fight for every last .x%.

I like this one but the bends and slides are tough right now, will keep practicing.

Thanks for hosting

 

I first mistakenly played the rhythm track on this song, which is just two notes repeated over and over - weirdly it's probably harder to maintain concentration for the duration of that than on this lead track

Was hoping to get through that first phrase without a strike, but don't think that's going to happen... 

TO EVERYONE:

Week 577 winner's list updated!

Advanced: The Black Keys - Fever Tree 7.5^ > 6.5

BASS
 Telula - Never Enough 8 > 8.5

 

Comments. 

-I take note that, in the case of Lead guitar, you can't rate it to the highest difficulty in that level if it doesn't have a solo that deserves it.  👍

-I have been doing this for a while, but still can't tell the exact boundaries for each class, specially for beginner, since it seem that the ratings vary wildly from my point of view... 🙃 I rated begginner songs too low before, and now I made the opposite mistake! 😆

-For the "The Black Keys - Fever Tree" I rated 7.5 cause it was meant to be rhythm guitar, but I allocated to Lead because I struggled to fill all the posts... I was going to lower it but I forgot! 😅

 

 

Testing scores and others... I think I missed to take some screenshots.

1) You make no mistakes! Rating is subjective to a point. All you do is rate, there are views and points to discuss, certainly no mistakes!

2) You surely don´t need any kind of solo or soloish phrase to have a song rated the highest of it´s class, you can as well have GoG tracks (10) without solos

3) Those selections are so pleasant - i, along with many othes enjoy to encounter new releases by playing them in the CS - You are hereby in the most friendly way given the order to do those every three months. Thank you so much!

🎶🎸🌏 CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!! 🪩🎸🎶

YEEAHH!! 🤟🤩✌️😎 🤟🤩✌️😎 🤟🤩✌️😎 🤟🤩✌️😎 🤟🤩✌️😎 🤟🤩✌️😎 🤟🤩✌️😎

I think I must be a masochist to impose those guitar challenges to myself!!! 😂

Specially The Black Keys - Fever Tree is soo difficult for me!!! 😅

This is the best I can do for today.. . I got tired and cannot concentrate anymore...

 

 

First scores for this week!! 🤩🤩

Do not understand how to play 311. I try to RR it and it sounds absolutely different. And my palm mutes are always breaking it 🥲

Lot's of thumb-over playing on the Black Keys, which is one my nemesis's. My thumb will absolutely not bend that way no matter how much stretching I do, so probably not going to get much better than this.

Any particular section you're having difficulty with? I checked it out and the first section has a mix of palm mutes and ghost notes. The detection is pretty forgiving for me, since it doesn't seem to differentiate to well between muted, ghost and unmuted, so any will work. Make sure you're hitting both strings, though. Detection will frequently fail if you're only hitting the lowest note.

Funny😍

 

 

i kinda liked telula at 8 but o well

I agree. I think that last week's Matsushita on bass - which was rated 8.5 - is a quite a bit harder than Telula on bass.

Yes this is the part I meant. I can almost play it physically but the result is not matches the song in my ears. May be (for sure) I do it wrong. And I didn't know anything about ghost notes until this time 🤣

More improvements:

 

 

Fun and hard (mainly on lead) chart!
