Gametab's Challenge Riff/Lick of the Week #5

Man, I love these challenging riff competitions. They go HARD and they're pretty painful, but if you practice them, your skills will improve for sure. The challenge this week is a blistering riff from F-Zero's "Fire Field".

Demonstration

Tab

Look at the 3rd reply for the tab
Since I'm dumb and dont know how to properly use the editor, the tab ended up looking ugly. Fortunatly, SalemJenet came to the rescue and fixed it! I don't have Guitar Pro, sorry.

Judging

Playing it cleanly and precisely, staying with the beat. Like it says in the tab, you just have to play that part; I added the rest because, if you're like me, You might hate not finishing that awesome solo haha. Not playing the rest won't affect you're score, but playing the rest won't improve it either. If you can't play at the given speed (210bpm) get a metronome and reduce the speed and post anyway.

Backing Tracks

These are the backing tracks for just the single riff

No guitar
With guitar
No guitar Slow
With guitar Slow

If you want to play it fully

No Guitar Full

How do I get in this?

If you learned the tab, just post up some audio, or audio with video. Winner will have his entry in the front page for everyone to see their skill, but like CpxAzn and StrangeJam say, The real reward will be towards your skill.

This riff is just really fast hammer ons and pull offs, the placement of the notes is pretty comfortable, just need to get that crazy speed down. You can change the position of the notes if you like, don't add any though.

Deadline

Friday, February 3rd

Sorry for being late on this. There was 2 entries this week, each one amazing.
CpxAzn did a very good job playing it steady and clean. Koraman also did a good job playing the riff with a nice improvisation on the rest of the solo. Judging was strictly based on just that single riff. It was a hard decision so after many replays and thought, the one that played the riff more steady and clean and the winner of this 5th Challenge, CpxAzn. Nice playing!

Challenge riff #6, we're ready!
