Well basically...the last third of the song is one massive solo. And it is messy solo charting too. Its a damn clusterfuck, chorus 2 is the hardest part imo.

B.Y.O.B. FC; got it in a few tries yesterday. Just kinda scrolled past it and couldn't think of any good reason why I hadn't FCed it, so I went for it and got it quickly. I'll probably have the video up tomorrow.

Also I just got myself caught up on DLC so I have several weeks worth of songs to sightread in the near future.

Look, someone actually had to point out that singing "solo" meant singing alone. This is why we allow people to work registers at McDonald's that can't make change and it makes me want to run my face under a belt sander. For the love of tits, how can you be on the internet in 2012 and not think "maybe I can Google this word I should have learned in first grade before making a thread about it".

This update is the polar update opposite of last week...instead of a bunch of easy FCs of new songs, I've got a few tough FCs of old songs, with one particularly good FC as the headliner rather than a stupid pass of a stupidly hard song.

Here are the new FCs:

RB 1/2 DLC:

1042. Salute Your Solution - first try after practice, not sure how I struggled with this in the past (I had attempted this multiple times and failed to FC it)
1043. Rio - RocksterLMS on YouTube requested this FC from me literally years ago, but I had always found the combination of boring song + annoying strumming to be too much...now the strumming is relatively easy for me and I got it on the first try after a few minutes in practice
1044. War Zone - this took 4 tries; solo consists of moderately fast zigzags and an awkward strumming part
1045. Lucky Denver Mint - this took way more effort than anything else in the update and is obviously the FC I'm happiest about right now; as if the solo isn't hard enough, the chorus chords are murder; they caused me to choke the song 3 times before finally FCing (chorus has lots of

and

switches, which I find to be the 2 hardest 2-note chord changes in RB).
1046. Renegade - this took 3 tries; first was just a run-of-the-mill miss in the hardest part (which isn't that bad, just a somewhat awkward part in the middle of the first solo), then I had a choke after both solos (which honestly just made me laugh because of the relatively lower difficulty of the song compared to Lucky Denver Mint), and then I FCed it obviously

RBN2:

130. Slaves to Substance - remember in the last update when I mentioned that I passed up a lot of "FC-able for me" songs recently? well this was one of them; FCed this with Fourplay last night; it is somewhat tricky but it's not in any way a better FC than Lucky Denver Mint

Salute Your Solution (worst FC in this update) may not be terribly difficult, but it's still harder than anything I got last time (seriously, what's it competing with...Free Ride??)

I have videos of everything except for Slaves to Substance, which I have the following picture of:

Also Fourplay absolutely dominated every song we played last night; I have 3 FBFC videos from this session:

Prophecy (Live)
Inside the Fire
Godzilla

Salute Your Solution and the Prophecy (Live) FBFC have been uploaded, so right now my current video stock (not including a few older videos that I may or may not upload at some point) looks something like this:

B.Y.O.B. FC
Rio FC
War Zone FC
Lucky Denver Mint FC
Renegade FC
Inside the Fire FBFC
Godzilla FBFC

I'll probably alternate individual FCs with FBFCs until I run out of the later. Also I'll try to get B.Y.O.B. up soon but it's a big file (due to Vegas clipping) so it will probably require use of the computer center. Because I'm lazy I'll probably just wait until I need to go the library for research (which will be soon) since the library is like right next to the computer center.

Nice work as always, Lucky Denver Mint is a fun song, and War Zone's strumming bit is an FC-killer. I was meaning to ask you; How do you keep track of everything? Do you just have a basic text list of FC's that you add to during each update? The behind-the-scenes workings of people with lots of FC's intrigues me. I find that the more songs/FC's that I have, the easier it is to lose track of things or for it to become unorganized.

Two good FCs yesterday are the main focus of this update:

1047. Standing in the Shower... Thinking
1048. Pig's in Zen

Standing in the Shower is a pretty good FC that I somehow got first try after only a few minutes in practice mode. Not that I haven't ever tried it before and failed, because I have, but yesterday everything just clicked with that song. Strummed every note in the hard part by the way (I hate using hammer-ons in strumming and the No One Like You method wasn't working for some reason).

Pig's in Zen took a few tries and was pretty annoying, but it isn't harder than Standing in the Shower. Just less fun to play and more annoying to grind. Once again, I strummed everything in the hard part.

Also forgot to mention it last time but I strummed everything in Lucky Denver Mint's solo too (actually I did use that one red hammer-on at the very end that transitions back to the chorus, but I'm not sure if that note is even in the solo or not).

In addition to the good FCs I got yesterday, I sightread the new songs today. FCed everything with no practicing; very very easy week for RB DLC.

Rock Band 3 DLC:

384. Alone
385. To Be With You
386. Every Rose Has Its Thorn
387. Never Gonna Give You Up

RBN2:

131. My Only Star
132. 30 Lives
133. So Let Us Create
134. Potential for Anything
135. All I Want Is You

Yeah. There's really nothing to say except that All I Want Is You is a great song that I encourage people to buy. Also My Only Star is one of those rare easy Amberian Dawn songs (it actually has a solo, but it's really easy).

Always impressed with the FCs that you pull out in this thread Bob. You always were a spectacular guitar player, and this thread solidifies that fact.

Just wanted to point out on your complaint on the Hall and Oates songs: The sax is on keys :P

Wow. I thought I was the only one with intense organizing skills. You're a lot more organized than me! Also gogo Nothing's Shocking FAFC.

Were you watching me stream the other day? I decided to play the harder songs of that album the other day. I was wondering if that reminded you to go play it. But then again what reminded me to go play it was last week's DLC had a song that ended with Zen. Maybe that's what got you to go play it as well.

Ocean Size is easy. You should be able to get it without too much trouble.
I would say Had a Dad is the third hardest song after Standing in the Shower & Idiots Rule (true story...on rb2 I have more trouble with the 2nd solo than the 3rd haha).

But nice job on standing in the shower...I have a lot of trouble with that whenever I play it.

That... wow. My first time visiting this thread, and that is a LOT of FC's. Incredible work.

Fourplay is definitely lucky to have you on board.
