GTFO guys. Thanks.

Since I noticed a gigantic gap in how to make a proper DLC for Rocksmith 2014. I am going to be doing a video next weekend of how to make a DLC from scratch. Going to cover ever aspect of making one. From beginning to end. Hopefully it helps some people or improves the quality of DLCs that are being released. Will post it next weekend in the Help Thread. Hopefully I can get it sticky'd.

At the rates things are going that is... I think this site (and the people who put it together of course) can take a lot of credit for this achievement.

If you already meet the above things, please answer a few questions for us so we can review them and get you your shiny red name: Why do you want to be a moderator? Simply, to better the community. I truly love teaching, and tend to try to resolve conflict by trying to umm, smooth things out ( not all issues require mods to drop the hammer ) I am trying to be an ACTIVE member of this community and have begun charting CDLC along with hanging out in the chat and trying to help people with problems they may be having. What do you bring to the Customs Forge community that is unique to you? I don't know that it is unique but I have a firm grasp of the issues that arise with making customs run and I am LEARNING EoF. I also have a very solid knowledge of what makes computers tick and can make them run MUCH better. ( I.E. Tech Support, a member ID that I would suggest.) I tend to be VERY patient with questions and try to help people through thier issues and get them up and running. Cake or Pie? (this is important) Not sure why this is important,, but PIE, definitely pie. How much time do you spend on the site daily? I try to be on here at LEAST daily and generally,, about 4 hours in the evening,, my time. This obviously will fluctuate as I have a real life, job , kids, wife ETC. Have you filled out your profile information on the site? As far as I know I have filled out more than many. If you were to need more, let me know. Have you ever been a Moderator anywhere else before? I have not moderated elsewhere but I have ADMINED many game servers and a Vent ( Which I am still an active ADMIN of Which is available for ANYONES use, as right now the population has dwindled)). Can you follow instructions? I follow instructions well, 8 years Army and 7.5 years law enforcement, so, yes, I can follow direction well.

If you already meet the above things, please answer a few questions for us so we can review them and get you your shiny red name: Okay Why do you want to be a moderator? I love this forum. I love the community, the attitude, the CDLC. I spend pretty much all day here in chat while I create my CDLC and help out those that I can. I want to live in a world where we can play any song imaginable just by looking through the search database. I would like to be a part of that in any way or form that I can. What do you bring to the Customs Forge community that is unique to you? My crowning achievement will be completing the entire Pearl Jam catalog in hopefully two months. Before I started there was NO PJ. Now look at what we have! After that I will be creating CDLC for as long as Rocksmith is a thing. Cake or Pie? (this is important) Apple Pie only if it's warm and I have Vanilla Ice Cream. Otherwise cake. How much time do you spend on the site daily? Even though I work 9 hours a day...I probably spend a good 3-4 hours on here while I make my CDLC and 2 hours at least daily actually playing RS. On Weekends I spend about 5-6 hours on here. Have you filled out your profile information on the site? I believe I got everything. Have you ever been a Moderator anywhere else before? No but I have been a Supervisor in real life! I have always wanted to be a mod however. Can you follow instructions? Your wish is my command.

Maybe you could still provide links to the versions with the original bass tuning for those who want to play it correctly on a 5-string and don't care about the score?

new version with many important changes Buckethead - Asylum of Glass http://customsforge.com/topic/1224-asylum-of-glass/ and tone update in Metallica - Damage

Well I think you all deserve the sack for not reaching 3000 yet!!! :-P

Updated Sounds of a Playground Fading Add The Quiet Place and Where the Dead Ships Dwell PS : all bass part will be at least in C Standard (already available for Sounds of a Playground fading, the Quiet Place and Where the Dead Ships Dwell)

just relax and enjoy...

@Kedhrin impressive collection of Schecter's. That game you are working on looks bad-ass man. I'll be looking for the release of Revival. I played Rift 2 years and bailed because of the lust for the purple, yellow and gasp, orange items. Not really, but the 8 hours a day of playing to become and remain a top player was too costly on my life. I hope you and Illfonic have great success with it.

Would love Bleeding me for 2014

I don't think I'm playing this week, not interested in learning any of these songs, I have some I'm working on and don't want to take away from that time.

Done With Iron Maiden's Be Quick or Be Dead, Will Start on ain't my bitch by Metallica on Thursday.

I feel like in am the perfect person to address each of these issues. 1) forget anything that makes playing guitar unenjoyable. I started playing songs where it was possible for me to use one finger on my fretting hand and worked on memorizing simple.songs so I could stare at my guitar because my hands didn't know where they were on the guitar neck. Play songs you like, in the simpliest difficulty you can manage, and work your way up until you get to the point where you know what's being displayed is just barely out of your league. At that point, slow the song down in riff repeater and grind at it until you learn that section. ALTERNATIVELY, what I did at first, was to play songs up to getting to that point, then I'd just find another song I really liked and played the easier difficulties until I hit that difficulty threshold again, then j found a new song. I'd work on like 3-4 at a time, play each of them every time I picked up.the guitar, and eventually I got comfortable enough that is want to crank up the difficulty. On easiet songs, sometimes i wouldnt even go into riff repeater, id just play the whole song terribly and have fun working on my coordination. Eventually I got to the point where I couldnt just jump into a song and play it. Thats when you need to use riff reapeater to its fullest potential to undetsta d and practice the song you're working in. Just a disclaimer real fast, I'm still a beginner/intermediate guitar player. The hardest thing I've gotten 90% on is probably plug in baby, we share the same skies, etc., two songs I still struggle on. I've played both of those songs a LOT. But pushing the limits of your ability is when you can actually feel your skill increasing. 2/3) can't speak to this on a personal level, but I have a friend who is in the advanced/expert level of guitar who has small hands and more importantly, has a condition where he cannot twist his wrist, AT ALL. He can still playbarre chords better than iI can. Want more inspiration? Look on YouTube "audrey rocksmith". You'll know exactly what video to watch, she plays base and guitar. While were on the inspiration digression, look up wodashin on the rocksmith forums and look up his thread. I strongly suggest you look up that thread and use the techniques this guy used to learn guitar. In one year or playing, this guy can play hanger 18 and cliffs of dover. One fucking year and he's one of the highest scoring players on the leaderboard. He worked his ass off to get there and he was smart enough to be able to train himself. Audrey has a very good mentor. Speaking of which, get yourself a mentor. Someone that you can ask simple questions and even more importantly, jam with. I always just wanted to learn songs, noyn improvise, but its so important and really just added a new layer to my guitar skill. 5) Losing my religion was the first song I played where I was like "holy shit I'm a guitar player.". I love that song also, its not incredibly hard (but took me a lot of practice, especially the 12-17 double stops stretches that instill have problems with). Up until that song, I avoided all chords other than power chords. After that song, I was comfortable with chords and started learning more. That song was a huge turning point for me, keep at it, one section at a time. Some other songs I put in that relative difficulty range (easier and harder than losing my religion that I like to play) are: me and the bean, step out of the car, slow hands, take me out, no rain, in bloom, plug in baby, go with the flow, all the small things, vasoline, we share the same skies, do you remember, rebel rebel, song 2, don't fear the reaper, self esteem, boys don't cry, smoke on the water, pumped up kicks, high and dry, are you gonna go my way, icky thump. That's very roughly the order of difficulty. Ordered by my mastery, though some of those songs I got to the 90+% range in a few tries, some took 50 tries. Some of them just have very hard solos, generally i leave solos leveled down unless I really like a song. 6) the riff repeater is the main reason rocksmith is as amazing as it is. You need to harness the riff repeater to its greatest extent. You said you were having problems with the strumming pattern. Well if its going too fast for you to figure out, SLOW THAT SHIT DOWN. You'll know the pattern in 10 minutes. There are times that I literally put the speed down as far as it can go, and slowly work the speed up. When you get into the 90+% range, ho 1-2% at a time, especaiily for over 95%. I, by far, spend the most time in riff repeater than any other facet of guitar playing. Additional tips: I don't have a lot of bad habits, but part if playing guitar has been figuring out why I sound like shit. You need to shut the game off, or pause, and play the notes without background music- a lot. Jamming helped me a lot in this regard. I have yet to use session mode much, but it is something I'm going to be using more and more this summer. Try to learn some basic chords. As soon as my finger dexterity was good enough to use 4 fingers reliably, I should have gotten more exposure to chords. Lots of riffs are based on several chords, and if you know them, it makes the song so much easier to play. We share the same skies is a great example of this. If you are trying to play that song one string at a time, its nearly impossible for me, at least. Don't fear the reaper is another good.example. A good wah of learning chords is to play that game castle chorded or whatever. Not only are you given some.extra time to hit those chords, but they slowly give you more than one at a time, and they say exactly what the chord is called. Its seriously a great game. Book complete, the end. 6)

You can't pause the Riff Repeater. It's the biggest failure of RS2014. So you have to find ways to work around that. If you're playing customs, there's a decent workaround: open up the file in EOF and add in more sections. You can break the solos down into as many sections as you need -- they can be as short as a single measure, if you need it. This way you can get right to the parts that are giving you difficulties. There's still a couple measures of lead in, but the turnaround is much faster -- you don't have to sit through 20 measures of rewinding. Once you've learned the parts, you can start to combine them into longer sections and increase speed. This won't work with official DLCs of course, only with psarc files.

If you want to improve, play Buckethead :) :) this way you can learn how to play better as well as enjoy great music :) (not only my opinion, but few friends too) You will find very fast parts as well as slow songs with many bends and other techniques too :) and in the rhythm parts you will learn nice chords too :) For very fast parts I use Riff Repeater and it works very well :) Just 1 year and 6 months ago I did not know how to play guitar and now thanks to Buckethead I learned a lot, I can play most of the songs in RS2014 with 80%-90% accuracy, sometimes close to 100% even :) For bass I get 95%-100% accuracy for most of the songs in RS2014. I even could not dream about it about 2 years ago when I started to think about playing guitar, I still can not believe that after so short time I could improve so much... Still much to learn, I am just starting the way :) Have to learn more chords as this is my main problem to be fast playing strange chords :)

Guys, We just hit over 2,000 CDLC for RS 2014! Congratulations to all of the hard working charters and the users who test them! You are all awesome and should be proud of your hard work. This community and its people are fantastic. Here's to hoping we'll one day get to make a 3, 4, and 5k milestone thread in the future!

Go into "Track>Pro guitar>Set tuning" and set the tuning values to -2 -2 -2 0 0 -2 and it should show the tuning for each of the strings to reflect DADFAD.
