How come? I'm using an emulated bass so it feel likes cheating and wrong especially to those who put the time and effort in to playing the actual bass, but thats just me. I did play bass a few years ago and did enjoy it though.

that's it then you gotta go pick up a bass 🤣 thanks!

I don't have the space nor money for it. The guitar is hard enough to learn as it is. Sadly.

Congrats @ Vodka !!! you left me in the dust 😂 amazing progress

It wasn't dust. It was sand. I poured it so you could safely climb higher and not slip 🤣

Thank you!! 💀

I hate that king.

I still can't handle the beginning with slides. Still some mistakes because of crooked hands.

Lead completely peases me off. I can't play solo but that's OK. I know it. I accept it. But ALL THE BENDSSSSS!!! I NEED YOU TO DETECT IT!!!!

Anyways I must sadly say I will hide for 2 weeks because of vacation.

Rhythm

Too easy for 7.5.

And Bass

I tried to get a good warm up to improve my results, but couldn't get any improvement...

Wait a second...Do you hear that aswell? I think there is a voice in the air...

* play emulated bass and beat drands score, jasmith85 you can do it, we know it*

edit: oh nvm she already got 100% gg xD

bass update

I'm a lazy bastard 

 

lead update  this song!!!

Almost forgot to post today oops

sweating after this I fluffed my way through most of that good fun though

Alrighty, quite the selection this week and I actually have some time to add some suggestions as well, been a little while!

I think it was one miss on this one, a damn 2-3-5 in the second chorus. Tried a few times after to get that 100% but never got past 99.6%. Ah well, nice to have an actual playable version of this song, the original CDLC is a bit crazy!

1. Buddy Holly

2. My Name Is Jonas

3. Island In The Sun

4. Beverly Hills

5. Say It Ain't So

Gave this one go, saw the bends and just decided for my sanity to not go back! Kiss are one of those bands that I've been meaning to give a proper deep dive into but there's just so much there.

1. Strutter

2. Crazy Crazy Nights

3. I was Made For Lovin' You

4. Modern Day Delilah (my personal favourite Kiss song from the ones I've heard)

5. God Of Thunder

I found the chorus pretty fun on this one but that octave solo, they're bound to use an octave pedal live because those slides were all over the place. I had only heard one of their songs before, Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore, as my sister used it as her first dance song many moons ago. One of the cheesiest songs I have ever heard, not my cup of tea at all but each to their own...

This was great fun, hands down my favourite from this week. You've all probably gathered this by now but I mainly focus on the songs that I enjoy playing rather than those in my rank; if I enjoy playing the one in my rank then that's a bonus as there's 'something' to play for but that's not my goal at all, just want to find fun new music! Really cool use of power chords here, especially at the tail end of the chorus.

I always forget just how much these guys shred, I had only heard one of these songs before which was the title track so I was just winging this one. Funnily enough, this album had a lot less harmonics than I was expecting from Machine Head.

I haven't listened to them seriously for a long time so it looks like I have a fair few albums to catch up on myself...

I saw @ Vodka mentioned The Blackening in an earlier post; if you want to get into Machine Head just go listen to that album, it is incredible.

1. The Blackening Album, front to back, start to finish, absolutely phenomenal

2. Davidian

3. Old

4. Imperium

5. Hole In the Sky 

Best of luck all with your scores!

Cheers for the support, I need to re-find my mojo with this piece of wood and metal that we love so much 🙂

Maybe it's better witout warmup 🤣   Almost 99% 😱

New championship week will start in about 1 hour!

I tried @ drand  @ cacahuate51  I came back trying to equal the 100% but 97.56% and downing a 4 pack of guinness is the best I can do on a saturday night.
