Bass E Std songs

6.5

6.5

9.5... This could even be GoB; anyone who has achieved over 90% here should get a medal.

@Mikson if I make a grizz medal, will you join the website and put in your ratings next week? 😂 (that song is so painful to play idk how y'all do it)

edit: done thanks for the idea

Great work on these ones @Rodman and @Vodka !!

Feel like my last playthrouhg of these songs sounded and felt better than the %showed...some of the score in score attack were 3 times as big but lower percentages....guess the parts I nailed I nailed, and still missed the same trouble parts.

Thanks for another fun week to all involved.

Happy Friday everyone, and hope you all have a good weekend!

Not gonna lie, been a pretty stressful week in the Jimbob household so it's a miracle I've got scores to submit at all, all just first time sightreads. Not my finest showing but hopefully things are on the up...

All the best with your scores everyone!

i finally excavated all my guitars for different tunings...

sightreading mostly...

🎶🎸🌘 CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY NIGHT!!!! 🍺🎵🍺🎵
YEEAAHHH!!! 🤟😎✌🤩🤟😎✌🤩

--

I am trying as hard as I can, but can't reach 97%!!!! 😅

I keep getting random missed notes that I think I am playing correctly in time... anyway, here it is my microscopic 🔬 improvement! 😅

I am happy with the streak in Lead though. When I was intermediate I used to struggle a lot with note recognition and streak, so my personal measurement for streak in an average song is: less than 100 notes= failure / more than 100=well done / more than 200=success!

Eyy I like the compliment but also in the words of @Mikson on advancing to masterclass

Haha no worries, take your time!!! 😆
Regarding @Mikson, I was competing against him as an advanced bass player when I joined here 3 and a half years ago, so I really dont understand why he hasn't level up to bass-masterclass by now!!!! 🤣

struggling with this one

however the lead is way easier, especially after all the rhythm playthroughs

I haven’t had as much time to play this week as compared to before but my results aren't too bad.

Making improvements

sorry for the multiposts, just playing until my ride for a wedding shows up, but won't be back until after the dead line.

feel like if i would have put the time I put into korn this week I could have learned the two lead sections I fucked up on both these plays and been 95+

I forgot about this improvement. It’s a pity it’s not 93%, but I missed too much in the final solo sections.

And rest of the bass

5

It depends on how look at this type of chart, if rate by the precise playing of these slaps and pops then this is definitely more than 4 (maybe 6-7), playing them like regular notes then 4 max.

6.5/7

Most people probably know this song primarily for Slash’s riffs and solos, but when I played it on bass, I was reminded of what a brilliant bassline Duff McKagan doing here. This is one of those bands where every member does something good.

Diff 4.5/5

Alright I put yours in manually again @Mikson
