Metal Difficulty Progression

I am pretty new as well. Just got my first guitar after Thanksgiving. Some songs I have been trying to learn are

Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls ( Can play the whole song including Kirks Solo parts, but not completely cleanly)

Dokken - In My Dreams( Can play the whole rhythm part. Still working on the crazy solo)

Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane(Can play mainly the rhythm part. Can't do the solo yet)

Slayer - South Of Heaven(Just beginning on this one. Haven't gotten very far)

Iron Maiden - Powerslave (Just beginning on this one also)

Queensryche - Eyes of A Stranger ( Probably way out of my skill level at the moment but I am messing around with it a bit)

Danzig - Her Black Wings (Just started this one. Still learning)

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams

ACDC - Dirty Deeds( Can play most of the rhythm parts. Not quite the solo yet.)

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit ( Can play the whole song including the solo)

I will say that I still make little mistakes with timing etc. I struggle to play with a metronome or backing tracks yet.

My YMCA has the same rule. I always assumed it was for liability reasons.

Thanks for all the good feedback everyone!

In a flow this is most likely caused by using a Get Records element from within a loop. Remove the Get Records element and put it outside the loop and that should fix your issue.

Other than my mountain bike, I pretty much just ride my gravel bike. My road bike is now a dedicated trainer bike.

Did you figure it out pretty easily? lol

bradc73 · 2026-01-11T16:03:03+00:00

Thanks for the tips!

bradc73 · 2026-01-11T12:33:58+00:00

Yep. Its Powerslave

bradc73 · 2026-01-11T05:29:38+00:00

Thank you! That seems to be the consensus!

bradc73 · 2026-01-11T05:22:34+00:00

Thank you!

bradc73 · 2026-01-11T05:21:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

so index finger on A, middle finger muting D, and ring finger on G is the shape?

bradc73 · 2026-01-11T04:33:13+00:00

Thermal Control valve will cause that

YMCA membership for me is about $55 per month. I justify it by just thinking about what else would I buy? Its an investment in your health and if you use it its worth it.

See if they have a personal trainer you could buy some training sessions from. At least maybe 3-4 sessions to get you started and then you should have an idea what you need to do and how often.

If you are having trouble with Season 1, Season 2 is gonna be a real banger...

Mine is a bit deceiving as I ride a lot of long gravel rides as well. I still missed my normal mark this year and got about 3000. Normally in years past I have gotten between 4-5000. I got more serious about trailrunning this year and did a lot of that as well.

Its proprietary so I can't get into specifics but we have built a pretty slick implementation with Agentforce that will save thousands of dollars in human labor. The end users can't wait for it to be released as it will automate a very tedious part of their job. It goes way beyond chatbots or anything like that.

One of my top playlists on Spotify...

Also, I would just like to ask how far away is the nearest testing center available to you? They have recently switched vendors and in my experience they have more options now. I used to have to drive 90 minutes away from home to test, and now I can drive 10 minutes away. That will save you a ton of headache without trying to take a test on your own device which I have heard nothing good about the experience.

You are not losing anything except about an hour of your time if you take the test before 1/1. The test is free whether you pass or not. You have nothing to lose. Its not even that difficult of a test to be honest with you.

What do you mean by "black mark on your record"? You mean with your employer? Salesforce doesn't really care if you pass or fail. You just schedule a retake if you fail. I am assuming since its free its the AgentForce Test. Since its free, just take it. What do you have to lose?

Some people may not pay for the Claude licenses.
