🎸🔥🎸 Happy Week 639 everyone! 🎸🔥🎸

First time here? Jump in! Post your screenshots and join the fun. No shame in starting at beginner - we all gotta walk before we can shred!

The theme this week? Let's get weird, let's get classic, and let's get LOUD. I went for a mix that spans cult classic musicals, legendary rock, Grammy nominees, and Japanese power metal madness. Something for everyone... and something to make everyone uncomfortable at least once. 😈

First up - "Sweet Transvestite" by The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Tim Curry in fishnets. Need I say more? This is your beginner track, but don't let that fool you - there's enough groove here to make Dr. Frank-N-Furter proud. If you can play this without doing the Time Warp at least once, you're stronger than me.

---

Second - "Last Child" by Aerosmith

From the legendary Rocks album (1976), this is Brad Whitford's moment to shine. That funky groove, those bluesy licks... this is Aerosmith at their swaggering best. Steven Tyler somehow rhymes "Tallahassee" with "sassafrasse" and makes it work. Absolute legend behavior.

---

Third - "Snowballed" by AC/DC

From For Those About to Rock (1981) - this is peak Brian Johnson. That scream at the end where he goes "SNOOOOOOOWBALLED" might actually be his vocal Everest. Pure high-energy rock that'll have you headbanging through the whole thing. Get ready for some classic Malcolm Young chord work in that breakdown.

---

Fourth - "Colors" by Black Pumas (Bass Advanced)

This Austin psychedelic soul duo came out of nowhere and grabbed Grammy nominations like they were handing them out for free. The live version has 250+ million views on YouTube for good reason. That bassline is GROOVE CITY. If you've heard this playing at a coffee shop recently, now you know the name.

---

Fifth - "Vetelgyus" by Galneryus (Masterclass)

Japanese neoclassical power metal at its finest! If you like Stratovarius, Dream Theater, or just insane guitar work, Galneryus is your new best friend. The track combines neoclassical passages, shred sections, and even some orchestral bits. Your fingers will hate you. Your ears will thank you.

I can assure you the song selection process was NOT influenced by my good friends Mr. Evan Williams or Mr. Sauza Hornitos... but my playing may have been, and quite frankly, in a good way. 🥃

As always: post your best scores screenshots and remember — the leaderboard is temporary, but the salt is forever. Have fun and play loud. 🤘

P.S. - This post was made with a little help from AI. The future is now..........

"the salt is forever" hahaha
