Week 11 Challenge: We Share the Same Skies (Combo) | Forums

I threw in the score from tonight, for some reason I got more groove than usual. I totally messed up the end of the song somehow, so there are a lot more points on the table for sure.

Fun song, haven't played it in a while. I had it up to 41k previously. Did 3 runs, then leveler, then one more run. The riff is easy for me at 70%, too hard at 76%. Runs of 26k, 38k, 45k, then the 56727.

4/26 - Well, that was weird. Haven't played in since Monday, played today, back down to 46k on the first run. Then something clicked and I kind of got the positions right and on the next run got the 71382. Then I went into the leveler and everything was at 100%. I had previously leveled the chords but not the riff. Could it possibly had leveled while I was playing? I guess. That run qualified the song so I started playing the event but my mom and dad got here after one song so it's on pause. It's been a while since I've been able to finish an event on my PS/3.

Everybody knows this is Johnny Marr (of the Smiths and Electronic et al) playing the guitar right?
For those that like lists, he's #51 on the Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Guitarists of all time

I didn't get a chance to play this one at all last night, but should be able to get a few runs in tonight. Looks like I currently have the combo at only 34k. Combo 2 I have at 82k, so I should be able to bump up my score a fair amount from the 34k if they are at all similar. Been awhile since I played this one so I don't recall.

Yea, I was reading up on him last night. He was in Modest Mouse too... he kinda reminds me of Mike Einziger of Incubus with his "odd" but catchy riffing.

Holy crap. A half hour and 199k?
I may as well quit now. Spent a half hour in RR on the first riff and decided that I'm too tired to learn it tonight with only 4.5 hours of sleep.
That IS a tricky riff.
Maybe tomorrow.

I gave this song the first try yesterday and thought, "ok, this should be cake" with about a 70k performance (but hardly anything leveled up). Then I decided to go into the leveler and get everything up to snuff and quickly realized that the way I was playing the main riff was all wrong.

I looked up the chords (http://www.chorderator.com/cgi-bin/designer.py) and it looks the main riff consists of a G#sus4, G#m, F#, and a F#sus4. So, just get the fingerings for those down and most of the battle will be won.

Another one that makes sense to add to an event and then use the filter to scroll.

Zuma - What do you mean? Is there a way to make it easier to pick this song?

Add it to an event (go into journey, event manager, add or replace a song in the event with this song). Go to songs, go left one, and hit X or whatever the XBox bu.tton is, and it will only show songs in your current event. Well worth it.

Nope, I didn't know that. I do now. Cool.

There are only a couple chord positions in that riff, but it is tricky.

You can see a few examples online to get you started...

That is helpful, but my major pain with this riff isn't so much the chord positions as it is the picking. I lose track of which string I'm on too easily.

Just need some slow practice in accelerator probably.
