Done with week 3 despite the shabby scores. I was looking for an excuse to stick with guitar and try to take it to the next level, but I haven't been able to commit to it the way I usually do with these leagues. The pro keys league has really been the focus for me. I am submitting scores and will continue to do so, but I've only been able to give a perfunctory effort and I apologize. _________________

My scores are pretty "meh" too. Nightmare is the only one I put much effort into, not that the score is going to reflect that. But I was able to stay on expert for that, while I had to bump down to hard for Little Sister. If I didn't dislike the song Handlebars so much, I might have actually tried on it, since of the four it was most within my ability to get a good score on.
I've been caring a lot more about Co Op and especially full band. This is more something to motivate me to work hard on the songs that I like and come up with an ok score to submit on the ones I don't. _________________

I was planning to grind out some better scores for China Cat Sunflower and Little Sister for a few hours tonight, but it turns out that a sudden wave of exhaustion due to poor sleeping habits and subsequently passing out in my chair for almost two hours has left my skills in very bad shape.
Also wishing the chords in Little Sister's chorus didn't feel like it was trying tear my left hand into several very tiny pieces.. _________________

I think generally my way of picking songs turned out pretty well for the regular season. Every week had 1 harder song, 1 easy'esque song to squeeze out, and 2 medium level songs.
I do use a randomizer and Blue Sky turned out to be that hard level song this week. Just not quite as hard as previous weeks.
There will be no super easy songs in the playoffs however. _________________

Wow, they have an awards ceremony for everything. I saw this on TV - Rivers Cuomo and Jon Heder were the presenters.
I haven't had a problem with the song selection. I like the fact that the probabilities of songs being picked aren't so heavily skewed towards the devil-tiered stuff. Blue Sky's a hell of a chart too - I'd rather have songs like this over stuff like Thrasher or Blackened. _________________

Definitely my worst week pathwise. Only did one path for each song and FC'd it, didn't really have time for more. Hopefully I can keep my 1st. _________________

The one week I manage to FC all four songs is the week I forget to submit scores....
Oh well...I think I'm still high enough to make playoffs - hopefully. |

I knew I should have redone The Kids Aren't Alright. Would have given me a 400 week and 1st seed. Baw |

Well I'm screwed. Not only is WUT hard as hell, and rapes me like a dog, I'm against Kubduh, who I swear FC'd WTD. Well, it was a good run _________________
