Well well well!

The random selection that took me quite some time and led to certain cdlcs with quite questionable quality was terrorised by deaths of masters that deserve or even demand tributes... so here we go!

RIP Dolly P!

RIP Tim C.

Have a blast of a week

Rod

The Time Warp is too much fun to allow full concentration on playing....

Thanks for hosting this week @Rodman! Real tear jerkers for this week's picks. Forgot to grab screens of The Time Warp and Dirty Magic, I'll probably run through those charts again after my small vacation.

Good (3.5) here:
(5) also feels good here:

Weird tab, (8) feels appropriate:

I miss getting to use my drop pedal this week. I used to hate downtuning, but not anymore....

thanks for week rodman! good to celebrate songs from those who have passed.

Havent heard this version of the song but i like it

This one sounds familiar..

I think this could be a 7 didnt seem too hard

reminded me of a megadeth song at parts, and i guess after playing one of the dolly partons intros it was kinda similar. another example of a song that you cant go wrong with 356 (although i do prefer other steel panther songs)

enjoyed this path more

ah playing some john mayer earlier helped i think. starting to enjoy this version more than the cover now.

is it just me or the lead seemed more rhythm-y?

some parts in this song dont have the tech notes for bends.

I understand we all have different music exposure, but just as a little piece of information this is the original - Whitney's was a version.

yea i imagined so cause of the dates.

Never watched the Rocky Horror Picture show, well aware of it with Richard O'Brien from the Crystal Maze back in the 90s. Though was fun to play as it's a strum metallica style song where it's just attack attack attack with a break in the chorus

Thanks for the week @Rodman

First results (hoping that this week I can play more)

Bass

Everyone knows this song maybe not this version beautiful song

This has to be close to plagiarism.

i know dirty magic does sound like another song but i dont really see it fitting in the chain. What part are you referring to?

its that guitar part and the solo near the end of the chain

Bass
