Pro guitar marathon - live streaming all 307 songs for charity! (Nov. 3-4)

[SheSaidSheSaid]

I just started watching and caught the tailend of "Sister Christian," so he's up to the 2-dots.

Well, after about 30 hours (15-second-ish breaks during songs to monitor chat, etc. really add up, I hadn't considered that) it's finally done, all 307 songs complete. To those of you who watched the live stream, and especially those who donated, THANK YOU!

Some stats:

- Stars: 1206/1535 - good enough for the Level 4 goal I set earlier, just a little shy of the last one. Still, I'm really happy with this, especially since I went into so many of these songs cold.
- Score: 61,041,842
- Notes hit: 203,271
- Donations to Child's Play: $905.81 (!)

Be sure to check us out at Umloud! If you can't come in person, there should be a live stream the day of the event.

You did amazing Tim! It was wonderful to be able to watch for as long as I did =) If I didn't literally have less than a dollar in the bank, you would have gotten a donation from me.

I was kind of wondering how many of those songs you had played before. I wasn't sure whether to offer congratulations when you got a solo high score for getting 60-something percent on something The gold stars on "Hey Man Nice Shot" was pretty damn cool

I'm glad you survived this and hopefully didn't damage your hands.

Raining Blood and TtFaF must have been "fun" to play after 30 hrs of shredding

Thank you! There were probably about 60 songs that I'd never seen at all, and maybe another 100 or so that I'd only ever played through once on a sightread a long time ago. Though even for songs that I'd played a lot and GS/FCed before, I kind of forgot the solos. While in a way it's frustrating to get much lower scores than I know I'm capable of, I'm still really happy with how it turned out overall. It was incredibly fun, especially with the chat participation and others singing along around me.

Thanks! I think my eyes and general focus actually started to fade near the end more than my hands. There were a few times where I completely blanked out for like half a second, and missed an easy section or BRE or something. Though I'm pretty sure I was breaking combo a lot during the impossible tier because I was strumming too hard and too many strings were registering for single notes. (Though of course that doesn't account for all my misses. Those songs are hard! ) So yeah, my hands were suffering some too near the end.

By the way, if anyone is interested in viewing or re-viewing any portions of this, the whole stream is currently archived in sections at http://www.twitch.tv/hitoshurarb/videos. I'm not sure how long TwitchTV archives stuff for, though.
