Rock On!

@@Rodman I thought I was ADV already. I scored above 97% in three consecutive weeks (230-232) in INT Lead. All songs were difficulty 5.

 

I'm taking that win. Time to up the game a little.

Intermediate:  @@ZeroPingNZ - are you leveling up to INT and take that win?

 

 

Nice! Not quite ready. I'll try a few more weeks to play both beginner and intermediate and then see what happens... 

 

• Rhythm:

...

Masterclass:   @MaZtoR (or @@Anwyn - are you leveling up to ADV and take that win?)

 

Maybe you wanted to tag me here, @Rodman?

They were just a few runs on a song I liked. I did not earn MC level, but I could try.

Not sure I will repeat myself, but I like challenges (not saying that it's easy in ADV). 

First plays, never heard these songs except the obvious one :)

 

 

 

The masterclass looks deceptively easy in the beginning... and then it goes crazy fast, I couldn't keep up

Let's warm up this week with the GoG.

 

 

Sightread 100%! Easiest FC of my life. :lol:

 

 

Masterclass:   Metallica - Of Wolf And Man (8)     chosen by @@Gamut

 

 

Hey, I don't remember doing that! You guys pick more than enough Metallica without me picking it too. :lol:

A couple of first plays on bass...both 99.?%

No, all is good :p

upleveling news:

 

@@Anwyn - levels up to ADV lead, taking the win instantly

@@ZeroPingNZ - levels up to INT rhy, taking that win, too - he will be playing that beg songs also for a while and beg for a downlevel if needed (won´t - i tell you)

@@Fandaru - levels up to MC rhy, and the win is his, here too.

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

upleveling thoughts:

 

There are a lot of new players (cool), so after a while a few lines of info how we handle it:

 

Back in the old days upleveling and downleveling was very strikt and sometimes led to bad blood, especially when bass players were forced to level up to MC ( ;) , g.o. times, sigh...). Adaptions were made and over the years the now-active very good simple ruleset was developed:

 

- You enter the CS - you choose your classes freely

- You can choose a class of any difficulty for lead, rhy, bass seperately or also compete in only some/one.

 

1) Autoupleveling at 99+ on a highest rated song of the class (3/5/7 - beg/int/adv) lead and rhy or 99.5+ for bass (cause it´s sooo much easier, almost not worth the effort :P :P :P ) unless the player votes against it and the players of his old class let him stay!

 

- Important addendum seldomly used: One week is short, yes. There are great upleveling songs in the week and one just doesn´t find the time cause silly stuff like rl - yes. If you are (and that is the good way ;) ) an oldschool upleveler you can take as much time as you want to practice on any fitting song played formerly in the cs, and when you got your desired score post it, just please with the commentary that this is your levelup!

 

2) But you can uplevel anytime, just shout and you are up

 

3) Also - you can downlevel anytime (there are no % or whatsoever for that), just scream and if we orgas think you are not too strong, you go down.

 

And that is already it.

 

Have fun, rock until you level up! (then just rock)

 

 

 

@@Anwyn - i hope that does also answer that 97+ question!

Rodman, alright :)

I think me being unable to do even the beginner songs is due to Rocksmith bugs or not registering the notes... so I'm ok with staying in intermediate for now. And just to prove it, I suddenly remembered I used to play rhythm in uni days (not for long) and was doing alright.

Just tried this and impressive for sight-reading at my level. I played it on bass already though and the rhythm follows it.

 

 

Don't like this song at all! It's just too noise with the guitar so much louder than the rest of the song, I couldn't hear any melody or singing

 

Had to try Metallica...

 

Rhythm is much easier though

 

 

And these foreign songs... I guess Polish and French?

 

 

 

I know my custom is too loud guys, sorry :( use your own tones, I do that

Too much pain today. Maybe tomorrow will be better...

First tries.

Knew it was gonna be cranked to 11 when I saw "made for LeFrenchStallion"!

Vocals are not very exciting!

 

Have a nice week everyone!

Let's start from pain for my hands...

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/918051591171276162/44D24F7B10CF70C3A574EF7E84867B1269B5301C/

Quick go at these three

Here's my first trys.

 

Lead, needs work.

Bass

Again, kind of oddly I've done better on advanced bass.

Rhythm

 

Needed bar chord practice but now my hand hurts.

This one is good open chord practice but he sounds so relaxed I almost fall asleep and miss the fast chord changes.

I'll start my job in June, probably I will play less than usual...

 

I know I can improve here. 

 

Here I realize I'm strumming when not needed and not-strumming when it's time to strum. Though I think it's kinda cheating just overstrumming, no one would notice (and my accuracy would go up). I'm trying to play along the song, but I admit I still can't follow the rhythm in these first runs.

Bass day.
