no i dont, i said i like my pedal for guitar but not sure if it works as well for bass being a lot lower already...

i do however keep telling you to slow down and practice the sections you strike out on (and learn some scales 🤔 )

youve literally told me to get a pedal like 100 times 🤣

hah!. AM - probably the best ODS there is!

Those guys where the first ones in my RS CS career that made me feel i really could play a song. Thx AM! You truely rock.

 

 

 

Dammit that also brings great CS mem´ries back. I remember fighting with @ MaZtoR  and i think @ MonstaS4  on that one. Hah. Times.

 

 

 

I don´t especially like that Footies song and i never got behind why.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeeeees - more real music. Blast to play.

Thx @ cacahuate51  for aaaaaal of that

 

 

 

+

 

 

 

better

 

 

 

oh boy did i fail

 

 

 

oh

 

true (9)s here

 

bass... that path i can follow a little at least

 

 

 

Tried if i would survive SA... black and blue.... but did

 

 

 

More updates on both songs 

 

I should've played this earlier, what a fking banger this is

I don't think i'm ready for advanced yet, don't know if i'm gonna try to improve more this one 

 

Some techniques are over my head, the pinch harmonic & octave slides section is nuts. RR been sitting at 1% all week on that part. Haven't built up to get the fast parts right in full speed yet either, better luck next time..!

I understand the rhythm a little better now but still sounds like dogwater

here are my test results: (some might have more than one play because i played it sometime before)

rhythm playthroughs

 

First scores for this week!! 🤩🤩

Improvements

Too many slides, too many misses...

Bass

ah thanks for pointing that out! I have updated the main post, Its alt lead.  Alt Rhythm is actually a 5 string bass path so @ MaltaSoron  can play if he wanted to. (thats why its tuned to B) Do not attempt to tune with a guitar on that path unless you want spaghetti strings.

I checked it out, but it's madness xD
