Welcome to week 630

@ Vodka  you have been selected for Bass Upgrade once again for your repeated excellence while only playing for fun.  Your choice to move to intermediate level or not is on the table.

Also welcome to @VegataxGuts 

 

Wanted to have some fun this week, so I tried to lower the song difficulty a little and get some songs that are fun to play for Beginner to Advanced.  The MC level is tough to find a song, so appreciate @ Mikson  for pushing the song selections to the list.

Hope everyone enjoys the week and the selections.

Thanks for hosting @ robolechuga  Fun selection, but I have to practice the Lynyrd Skynyrd more 😅

My game is not showing the accuracy as the score (on Bass) 🤷‍♂️

First results (Bass) 

 

 

Bass Scores

  

I don't play this one with a pick, deep cut that came by on a artist station one day out on a bike ride, had to stop and make note of it.  Was stoked to find it in the CDLC.

Excited to play Spirit Crusher when I hop on later this week, one of my favorite Death tracks

 Good job for not adding this bass path (i just played it cause i thought it was a bonus one) and for finding others to replace this song for the championship as there are some sections with wrong notes/wrong strings no slides, and missing notes.

cool song hadnt heard before, i think its more intermediate than begginer though but maybe ill think otherwise if pavs updates it.

ya fun song, to me seemed a bit easier but do agree its most likely int cause of the mutes.
 
it is fairly simple, but pretty long..

ah sting/police chords with a7x type riffs (although i guess a7x got inspired from them since they came after) will have to practice it a bit more.
 

 

 

one thing i wanna say is that this championship is amazing (idk why i didnt join sooner) and so is customforge!. Big love to everyone involved here in customforge! discovering so many songs i would have never played haha (i hate chords)

I HATE CHORDS!!---

 

really fun song but again i hate chords and arpeggios (correct me if im wrong i dont know much musical lingo i just play songs)

my wrist hurts because of those stretches but really fun song im probably gonna try to improve this song! btw no score attack because i kept getting failed on those stretches haha so i hope this is ok will try to complete on score attack once im more familiar... only played it like 3 times and got a decent score so decided to post

i couldnt get a decent score on that third song idk why my bends dont register and that song is an orgy of bends haha and so do some random muted notes or just notes in general its probably my bad setup but its fine i had a lot fun 😄

@ VegetaxGuts  

Welcome aboard, glad you are enjoying it. 

You don't have to do a score attack, you can post from learn a song as long as you capture the screen with your streak and accuracy.  

Score attack gets that extra percentage precision and a score when you are trying to get that final edge for first place. 

The Skynrd song, kicks my butt also, played it a ton and still around that 90% mark.  We will have some higher scores this week I am sure.

ahh thanks for letting me know! yeah im not even gonna participate for that 3rd song its  fun to play tho!

@ robolechuga  GREAT! Thx for joining the staff team!!!!!

Shall be a blast of a week.

 

Rock!

nice beg (2)

 

 

 

oh what a song (6) ignore my score.

 

.... or take it seriously? well i just realised that i use to watch my fingers still all of the time.... searching for the right fret? even searching for the right string?????? ridiculous! ...well i suppose that should not be necesary anymore, should it. So i forced myself to a sightread playthrough here without looking at the fb at all. sigh. Shall get used to that now better quickly. hopefully. Will make playing better and life easier.

Please tell me - do you except switching to the 12+frets and back still watch your fingers play (nodshead)

Rod. thinking.  

 

it´s already getting better. a great song to kick that habbit. 

my routine is now no-look frets 1-11 (whatever finger), one short look (on competitive runs) going up to 12/+ and down from there when going back to fret 5+(index) (my fingers shall know 1-5 by heart...bone?nail?nerve?)

so... my scores are gonna be even worse the next weeks i think, sorry.

 

 

 

slowly

 

 

 

wonderful music also here

even harder for me to keep my eyes straight

 

 

 

and a lot lot better (8) is good, hard on the rhythm, really 

 

goal already reached

 

oh boy - the bassfretboard... ahh... completely lost. somehow i seem to know where the 8th fret is - no misses there which comes in handy at this peticular song but... the path of suffering has been chosen (should i name a song like that...)

Of course no 😉 As I don't bother anyone in beginners class I will stay there forever 😄

Welcome on board 🤝

Have a nice musweek everyone! Thanks for hosting @ robolechuga !

Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic - Fly As Me

One tricky chord. I didnt hit it at all. And tricky bass line.

 

Alice in Chains - Confusion

A lot of chords were not detected just to make me angry.

  

I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Leave Me Alone

Lynyrd Skynyrd - I Need You

I would give it 7.

  

Death - Spirit Crusher

Very hard. Didn't hit any note here. It crushed my sprit for real.

  

@ robolechuga  Thanks for hosting! Good song selection.

Easy, but the B7 chord is not comfortable to catch and I missed it a few times.

Played earlier during testing.

Nice song, a style I feel quite comfortable in. The chart is ok but needs some improvements, in some places it is less readable due to overlapping notes and has some long pitched slides.

A demanding technical chart. Overall, this is a great album, I remember we played it once as GoG.

Rod. thinking.  

I try not to look at the fretboards too often because it makes it harder to read the chart by sight. However, sometimes I lose confidence and have to quickly check if I'm in the right place, and if there are big jumps, I usually always look.

I always have to look to my fingers on that B7 chord 😅 (and miss half the times)
