Well atleast the current stats shows us that almost everybody likes all genres except for blues pop, and game ost 😅
Maybe a limiting it to 3 could help narrow down genres though

Bass

3

4/4.5

4

Same difficulty level as BTBAM chart, so 6.

6 - a bit of luck that it's 100%.

Short, but those riffs are very fast. For me 6.5/7.

9

Thanks for all the medical tips!

Have a great weekend if we don't see ya! 😁

Not much time, so quick improvements.

As I mentioned, this seems too easy for 7; the solo and intro/outro are a 6.5 at most, and the rest of the song is just simple chords. With a few more attempts, a 99% score seems within reach, and that shouldn't be possible at my skill level 😉I see @Rodman gave this a 6.5 too, so @drand I hope you update rating.

Btw. It sounded terrible in E std, but you do what you have to for better recognition 😄

🎶🎸🌘 CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY NIGHT!!!! 🍻🪩🍻🪩

YEEAAHHH!!! ✌😎✌🤩✌😎✌🤩

Don''t have much time apart from this improvement!!! 😅

I played this song to my wife and she really liked it, so it kind of became the BGM for the week! 🤣🤣🤣

Here you go

I didn’t have any time to play today which I would have hoped to do otherwise, these results would most likely be improved if I actually had the time.  

What an interesting week, great mix across a fair few genres

I finally managed to squeeze this one in. I had only heard two songs from these guys before; Nocturnal because it was on a compilation cd from Metal Hammer magazine that I used to buy religiously back in the day, and What A Horrible Night To Have Curse from when we last played it here. Definitely need to check them out again, really enjoyed this one once the feeling came back into my hands!

All the best with your scores everyone!

Thank you for being our master of ceremony this week @drand ! I haven't had much time to practice them (and had little patience to detune and untune and retune lol), but I'm participating anyway (and I sincerely hope someone else will claim the beginner's trophy. There's also a minimum score to achieve to be considered worthy of winning something IIRC? ).

Congrats on your Buena Vista Social Club songs! I've only played the Chan Chan one so far, but what a joy it is to play! Thank you!

I consider myself more a rhythm player but this had my hand In contortions must practice moe

This week has ended!
New week is over here:
