Small improvement, gotta work on two sections to get better consistency hopping to and from the D string

I don't think I will able to get higher here

iv played the wrong song hang on 😅

broke the d string half way through...

Rhythm

This CDLC is weird, or maybe I don't know. @Vodka already mentioned it, and I also have terrible chord recognition in Lead and Rhytm. It seems like they're in different places than they actually are.

Rhythm path here seems slightly more difficult than Lead, as it has an extra arpeggio sections at the end, so 6 seems ok.

first guitar scores

Fighting for my life on the transitions and arp

Let's go Mexico & U.S.A! 😄 (that red card sus)

They changed the rule on overtime goals a few years back. In the past, the first team to score would win straight away (golden goal). Now they will always play the full overtime (silver goal). Personally, I liked golden goal better, it made it more exciting.

No. Silver Goal was one of the strangest rules ever. Only used 20 years ago for a few years by the UEFA, not the FIFA so in the ChampionsLeague and the Euro Cups Championships eg. It meant that the running half of the overtime was finished after a goal was scored but when there was a leader at halftime - game ends and leader=winner. Quite nonsense but fun compromise. Now it´s only overtime.
I love penaties so much. Make it or be the fool for he whole nation. Adorable moments there burnt into my mind.

So many teams playing so badly that tournament... i fear the French are gonna be hard to stop.

Today it´s all let the Austrians have a confident day.... the team is great but somehow it looks like they lost all the confidence after the WIN against Jor and the close loss against ARG.. offense and defense were prone to errors against Alg in that nervewrecking 3:3 battle... and you can´t go with errors against Spain.... so - hope they sleep well and chin up, nothing to loose, let´s go.

Ah yes, you're right, I misremembered.

I can't do it anymore. I am really tired of this song. I could try to push myself against the wall and pull out my hair, but I think I stop here. Still worst results of all but so what...

Earlier than usual drop of my scores this week, heading to Glasgow with my wife tomorrow to see My Chemical Romance and relive our teenage years by listening to The Black Parade in its entirety, only this time it's going to be live, can't wait!

Best of luck with your scores everyone!

Special shoutout to @drand and @Vodka for their posts this week, takes a lot of guts to post videos of your playing, you're a damn sight braver than I am... Great job you two!

Improvement

Awesome have fun @jimbobmccecil, I am looking forward to seeing them someday hopefully! maybe we will see a video from you here someday, too 😂

ahh lost my mojo at the end even my dogs could not believe it, and well now the transitions are still not great but with more intention 😅 @Vodka return to the land of the neon lights & the rising sun 🐉

Also love when someone new destroys the score ceiling on everything 🤣 welcome @Nomgoose!!

++ was tuned in rooting for Austria, I feel like they also lost their mojo after that one attempted goal fell through in the beginning

& thanks @Daz40 for the You Me at Six great song 🙏
