I had trouble trying to post all screenshots so I will try to wait until tomorrow to see if I can post them then. I don't know if I will have time to play tomorrow either.

I tried... But this is too hard, I can't achieve 90%

It's not very difficult in the screen, but the speed makes it difficult.

A fragment of the solo. This goes by very fast.

A short but technical and fast arpeggio, out of reach.

There are so many difficult parts here. Even the double stop sections require concentration and quick jumping into the frets. Masterclass song.

Thanks for the new week!

I had a lot more trouble with Rammstein and The Rasmus than I expected based on the difficulty ratings, and much less with Def Leppard and Phil Collins:

I'm almost there on Foolin', and I think I can get that platinum pick, but not today ☹️

I had another run yesterday with longer streak but lower accuracy...

These screenshots should be the ones that I had trouble posting earlier.

Bit pushed for time so just a quick drop of my scores!

Forgot to take a proper screenshot of Dragon Roost Island at the time so this one'll have to do

All the best with your scores everyone!

Thank you! But what about this one on Def Leppard Foolin', don't I see a 100% or am I missing something?

since it's not too uncommon for higher ranked players to get 99+% on lower ranked songs, I am only tracking this stat for a song if you are at or below that song's difficulty bracket

I was thinking of adding a separate 100% category next week that includes all songs tho :)

)

having trouble with postimage links not sure

Steely dan is a lot of fun, but must be on the edge for masterclass.

Man, tough week hope I made it in time, Saturday is really my only day to record / play / practice, right now with the chaos of work (Managing a Gold Mine would be fun they said LOL) these are my drunk scores not that my sober scores would be better LMAO awesome songs thank you guys!!

gave them another go

did seem faster than i remembered. Not sure if im just tired today or im getting worse or if the drop pedal gives me worse score xD

but anyways, not many people got too high here so i have moded the ratings
8 for lead (even though the solo is short, the whole song is a bit fast)
7.5 for rhythm
cant edit main post just infinitely loads but the table is switched.

seems like the other scores are fine for the balance. the only one i saw different was steely dan but vodka got worse in that one than the masterclass song and attaboy said steely was too hard. So i dont see the reason to lower the rating
