so what do we have?

 

a fine selection, no doubt about that.

 

Stir it up - don´t forget to upstroke on rhythm and use Bonus Rhythm, a great track!

For whom the bell tolls - absolute classic, it´s ´tallica, its multitrack and its not hard - files are down in the comments!!!

Svartsot - viking metal with childish black metal guitar parts - very very cool

Opeth - yes, Opeth.

 

Enjoy

I'm blind. This message sense nothing.

 

@@Rodman I'll stay ADV please, enjoying the Challenges too much and now @@Anwyn is there to torment as well hahahaha

Yes, please. I doubled my efforts just because I missed you in INT.

first scores of the week 

 

Bob Marley ..... who can resist a bit of Reggae ?

 

 

reminds me of a crazy 3 weeks in Jamaica  :wacko:

 

 

must have missed a not or 2  :(

 

on to Metallica

 

 

the on to WTF ?

 

 

my fingers had no idea what to do as i had no idea of what to tell them to do,. tried the rhythm but need another try or 10 to get a score

 

 

night night 

@Telboy  You missed the accuracy in the Metallica screenshot.

@@MaZtoR oh well, I hope for a better score anyway, cheers

I know the organizers have a lot to do and are doing a brilliant job but has anyone thought of adding another challenge either weekly or bi-weekly ?

The way I see it is that it some of the contestants find it quite easy to follow the pretty colours and have a good score right from the off but improvement is limited from then on but are you really learning the song or just following the notes ?

So why not have a Master mode challenge on a nice and easy song each week, no notes showing, no pretty colours, just yourself and your guitar/ bass.

If the song is pretty easy then everyone can join in regardless of finger/ pick or hand skills and can actually be able to play the song without the aid of the highway.

 

Just an idea because some of my 100%’s That I found pretty easy I could never ever play without the Rocksmith notes prompting me, just wondered if it might be fun.

Hello!

Fun song to play

 

@@LoyalSquirrel I can't see your picture.  Just says that 3rd party content has been temporarily disabled.

I'd be happy to challenge you to bass MM battle on Stir It Up (cable permitting), since I can already play that one without the notes!  :lol:

 

You have a very valid point, Rocksmith teaches you to play, but it doesn't teach you how to learn a song.  And it's so much damn fun to play Rocksmith that even if you do want to actually learn to play, it's difficult to tear yourself away.  Damn you Rocksmith (and your shitty dying cables)!  ;)  :P

The version i downloaded (full audio version) of "for whom the bells toll" does not have a lead.  Only bonus lead.  and its 2 sec shorter than the one Loyalsquirrel posted.  Are we using that one or the one with multi tracks?
