-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

Ok... here we go

seems that one is easy for anyone but me 🙂

 

Still (6-7) to me... quite fast, a lot of shifting, all 4 strings and slides - No way Beg, rather Adv then Mc
@ Mikson  - let´s go with (6) yes

@ Mikson  , @everyplayer - please do not hold back scores, ever.

from the rulés:

 

You level up

-----   if you achieve 99%+ (bass 99.5%+) on a classes top difficulty song (3 for beg / 5 for int / 7 for adv) - unless you vote against! (your classmates and the orgas will have to let you stay (to avoid players of higher classes to rule a lower league)

-----   whenever you feel ready - just make a post (and pm any orga so you make sure its not overlooked) and you level up.

You level down

----- whenever you feel you are in a class too high (your new classmates and the orgas will have to let you stay (to avoid players of higher classes to rule a lower league)

 

So - first you need 99.5+ to autolevel in bass, 2nd you will never be forced!

Rock

 

Hmmm.... that´s lower....

 

Unlikely to make a mistake throughout the song (of course i still did now), then UNEXPECTEDLY there comes the end with 3 short segments played on high frets

 

2 are the same, one is short and easier, with the hammer on notes those are not so easy. But - the way i see it it´s the only part of the song that has to be learned over the week, well manageable for int players. Is it a valid song to level up to adv or a tad below - i think you could argue both ways as you practically get the major part of achieving 99.5 quite easily and will be training the last section that on the other hand is already on the edge to advanced for the level up....

Let´s go with (5)
Order imho was and is correct, please tell us your thoughts - we will never be offended by inputs on difficulties - that only makes the CS stronger and more stable!

Rodders 

 

 

and that´s mc, yes

+ bass

 

 

 

a very good try after a failed one at the end

Thanks @ Rodman  for the update! I think the diff ratings 5 and 6 are optimal. There is currently only one 99% score in the Toto song, which confirms that this is a very difficult song to max out and if someone does it, they deserve a promotion.

Of course, I understand that sometimes a chart seems difficult/we have problems with it, and other participants publish screenshots with high scores that you can't achieve, I had that too. That's why it's important to share our conclusions about ratings, and then try to average opinions of other participants.

 Looks like imma have to practice alot to reach @ Mikson s 96%!!

What 96%? Yesterday I complained that I can't achieve 90% here 😆

There's probably some error in the leaderboard, I don't know where it came from.

Jap - Error is that your training video score was approved as africa, and is hard to get rid off 😉

 

can't skip galneryusssss!!

even if I can't keep up even on rhythm 🤣

PS: right topic this time, I double checked 😅

 

 

 

After a few attempts at Learn a Song and a few at Score Attack (I failed a few times before the end), I finally did it...

Chord detection is really problematic here for me.

And this is what I mentioned yesterday. It was quite easy.

 

As promised - here is the next part of Rodmans Shred Course

 

Rodman Speed Building Excercise 1 - 30 to 120Bpm Rodmans Shred Course 2025   E Standard Rodman

 

 

Have fun!

I was today year's old when I recorded and uploaded my first play along.

I flub a couple chords, but we can only improve from here.  Appreciate the push to try something new and it forced me to learn the song structure.  Happy overall.

I think it´s really needed to visualize what we are doing here:

The lack of showing the bar structure makes this a bit subpar in RS when you don´t know what´s going on.

Hard excercise - tripplets with double speed bursts at the end of every other bar.
For the fingering  - i go 2-4-5 on those chords.
Another good excercise to help optimize hand positioning (you almost gotta bring your thumb opposite and to the same height as your middlefinger to do the stretches withe ease)

Enjoy.

Rod.

 

oh yeah. score attack, no x

 

 

 

better

 

 

 

 

that is not 90

 

 

 

And that is it for me. Could not beat Lowe, another time maybe 🙂

Hi,

As always, in the last hour....
