    Back in the USSR guitar (RB Beatles) or Testament - Souls of Black on Bass?

    Hmmmmm or both .... or none or ......... so much pressure to pick a good one :o

    DO many folks have beatles ? Less have lego i guess?

    Edit : Moons score was double mine @ 3* expert drums, there is a lot to be said for keeping the streaks going. Well done.

    It's that bit at the end that gets me, I didn't really practice it but wanted to get some sort of score on the board!!

    +1 for Back in the USSR very tough on guitar!!!

    Looks like Back in the USSR on guitar is popular so let's go with that one this week so.

    Let's say scores to be posted by this day week February 7th in the usual manor. The no peeping rule might go out the window here due to the fact you see friends scores on the song selection screen , that might be extra motivation though ;)

    This week's challenge

    Usual rules apply

    Remember, we welcome all difficulty levels, requests for advice and tips for other people, so don't feel you're not good enough to do this, that isn't the aim of these things at all.

    That Onion is a stealthy operator :rolleyes:

    Anyone else finishing with a 1/4 bar???? OD path will take some chin scratching from me on this one.

    Edit: the 2 : 2 : and save the rest for 2nd solo is definitely not a good OD path I still get 1/4 left and missed the

    Really wanted to give this another crack but wont be near my xbox until sunday evening. Got the overdrive path worked out so pretty pleased overall as it's a new best for me. There was one orange to green hopo that always caught me out early on :mad:

    2nd over drive section and the 2nd verse took me a good while to get right, it was the triplets with the hopo (note note to hopo, like red red hopo to yellow) in that verse thrown in that gave me the most grief.

    Ah your almost there lad, going from hard to expert is not nearly has bad as going from medium to expert. Try hard with the breakneck speed cheat switched on for a while and see how you get on. SHould get you used to the faster expert setting without the extra notes.

    Missed the Dig a pony one the other night by one stinking note towards the end , yes I strummed it :D Those 2 are doable for sure. Dear prudence on the other hand :mad: and it's not a hard song by any stretch just makes my hand ache and get tired very quickly due to the stretches and orange to green's.

    My technique for these achievements is going to be revised i think , im not going to play the song for 100% and focus solely on the hopo's and making sure I hit them all and only worry about hitting enough of the others to keep me from failing.

    That is odd, I found dear prudence to be the easiest one, not that I have it! Just thought it was easier than the other two! I suck :o

    Tried making the switch to expert, but this song is killing me. I'll be posting a score tonight.

    Also in other news, I have hopefully sourced RB2 so will be partaking in a lot more of these over the next few weeks. :D
