the typo is fine... that type of thing doesn't bother me at all. just thought i should mention it.
but what do you think about the slide i mentioned ? (bass) i think, iirc, it's about half way through the song ?

I listened to the song, and the only place it could be is before the solo? I checked tabs on UG, and indeed, there's a slide from red 9, and it even repeats it earlier. I think I used those tabs, and it wasn't there before; they must have updated them. Well, I see I need to improve it, but first I need to find the files where I created it 😕

You can probably guess that I've done this many times, so I know it's possible. But the week is almost over, so I'm leaving it for "maybe someday" 😉

Re-played

Improvement. It's too hard to achieve 90 here, it's a pity that in this section where we have a series of fast bends using 3 strings, I only get misses no matter how I bending...

recorded the vid while singing along too 😅

Lead improvements

I finally managed to achieve 95%, but it was difficult because many bends don't want to register. And then there are these two fast pull-off sections where if you make a mistake, you get a lot of misses.

I kept having trouble with this riff after the streak of red, 2 blue, 2 yellow, and a red 13 or 11, which I tried to catch with my pinky, as I think it's supposed to be done. After a few tries, it got a little better, but still not perfect.

Huge improvement yes! 🤣

This song haunts me because many of the competitors here achieve very high scores that I can't catch...

Quick drop of scores, it's a rare dry day here in Ireland so I have weeding to tackle outside!

All the best with your scores everyone!

Finally. See you next week!
