These are so frustrating lol tatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata not for me

I love it, playing like a machine gun 😛  And it's easy to get proper scores as long as you spam notes with sufficient vigor

I started practicing in a dark room because of the heat, thinking "it's dark on stage too!". Turns out I'm not ready for playing on stage 😛



To me, this kind of song feels like it wants to be way more impressive than it actually is:



Sufficient vigor:



I was wondering whether I downloaded the right CDLC until I reached the end 😛

And there aren't many notes, so each miss counts even more 😅

Thanks for this week Mikson!  


had tested this song a while back







Was the song i enjoyed most of this week, was like huh this isnt that hard but the ending sure changed that lol. 

this paths first two chords strummed that way actually reminded me of a song i tabbed for r+ years ago called here before by vashti bunyan (2 semitones higher but close enough). Fun song although i do believe there are some parts that should be tabbed differently on this cdlc. Wish rocksmith would pick up more of the notes when i finger pick cause i can hear the notes but it doesnt count owell.

@ drand  CONGRATS!! Now all you're missing is to be promoted to advanced lead for the 3 As!! 🥳 very impressive

dammit just that tad too fast 

 

 

 

better

 

 

 

ahhh... i just coudn´t resist and play my fav LORDI tunes

Praise the CS i can play along with the Nordic Nerdgods now banging heavily and singing along

 

I just still wonder that they let em win the ESC having lyrics like there in their other songs...

"the 2nd whore is on her forth... sir i hate to tell but your daughter needs a sexorcim..." not so much internet back then i guess

 

 

and a bit Blackmetal Boybands stuff

 

 

 

Rhythm

And Bass

I'll give this a 6 instead of 5.5 though because that final part is really tricky (you have to read the chart quickly to hit the right frets).

Improvement:

@ Rodman

Thant's one hell of a trek and a great story for the slipper days of old 
I feel like I've been a long way when I  do a ten miler. Hats off to you sir

It didn't feel like a 6, more like 5.5 😄
 

Improvements:

 

Bangles not bad just not one of their best good

lead Inter

advanced first try 86%

76% 79% and this, so going In the right direction

those chords on rhythm spanish guitar are just so hard for me, the ones that show the chord but you play each note separately 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Early submissions from me this week, got a call from a friend a few days ago saying he had a spare ticket to Black Sabbaths Back to the Beginning show on Saturday if I was up for it, you don't say no to something like that! Flying over to Birmingham tomorrow so less time to play this week but I think that's a valid enough excuse...

Really interesting mix this week; I was actually most excited about The Bangles, definitely one of my (many) guilty pleasures!

You all probably know the main ones but sure I'll leave some suggestions here anyway:

1. Walk Like An Egyptian

2. Manic Monday

3. Eternal Flame

4. Hazy Shade of Winter

5. Going Down to Liverpool

Don't judge me for that "X", the first section surprised the hell out of me after waiting around for a while!

Yeah, that last 1/5th was mental, Gary Moore is such an underrated guitarist, both his solo and his Thin Lizzy stuff are great. I'll add a mix of them below.

1. Over the Hills and Far Away - Solo

2. Cold Sweat - Thin Lizzy

3. Roisin Dubh - Thin Lizzy (pronounced Roe-sheen Doo in case any of you are wondering!)

4. Out In the Fields - Solo

5. Parisienne Walkways - Solo

Almost 99%  😫
