Mary Had A Little Lamb Bass man, that was close to 100%! tried it again, but my fingers grew tired. on to the guitar! cheers!

This week's entry for beginner bass: http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/bc01/ukua47j9ebfb9sgzg.jpg

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Hurt%20921_zpsfgdtpza8.jpg Chord practice is paying off. But i still cant get the high e to register in those Am and C arpeggios. I can hear it ring out but Rocksmith tells me that i suck. :angry:

Hahaha this is why I love this championship thing, never would have thought to check out something like The Cordettes. Definitely a fun song to play, a bit easy though. I hit 100% in under an hour... I'd still be ok with this selection though. My fingers are raw from Anesthesia. @@Mortalo how do you get selected to pick a song for the week? http://i.imgur.com/eRTdyOY.png

Man...i feel like Petrucci right now with the score i achieved http://i.imgur.com/43ZHTd7.jpg

So the Joe Satriani song on bass was a TON harder to me than either the intermediate or advanced bass parts. I'm pretty sure the only reason I scored so high on Surfing with the Alien was because Rocksmith couldn't tell I had missed the notes since it was so many in sequence of the same note. Surfing with the alien - 96.7% http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025190929/screenshot/543024106627157100 Warp Asylum - 93.1% http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025190929/screenshot/543024106627157009 Enter Sandman - 97.1% http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198025190929/screenshot/543024106627156869

got it :D http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150418/vladvba3.jpg RS note recognition is very bad at this song. It felt like above 95%, but again and again this lost combo noise without any reason.

http://i.imgur.com/krtvP3c.png slight improvement

I finally broke the 95% barrier on SRV Advanced Bass. I'd like to improve this, but I'd need to slow it down and take longer than we have left. 95.2%, longest streak 78

Surfing With The Alien Lead You guys are killing me with these hard ass songs, haha. Lots of fun though. Theres something definitely wrong if you jump to Enter Sandmen after this and think to yourself "man this stuff that Kirk is playin sure is easy..." LOTS of work here. I'm way too afraid to try to nail those pinch harmonics, because if i would try i would have a even lower score :| cheers guys!

I'm always been beaten by Frip at the last time hahaha! You're lucky i have english at saturday's morning :ph34r: And enjoy 'TALLICA! i've posted a video of it a long time ago, so you can count that score

Congrats, @@Nacholede, you is recordsman. Your choice the songs were selected 15th times, second place got @ with 12 times choiced a songs. All other have 6 or less selected a songs. Lucky man or bad dice. B)

Thanks @@Mortalo, I can live with the shame, I don't mind :lol:

@@Kaijin As rules states if you don't participate 3 times in a row you can drop by one class. It's 2 weeks for you, but you only participated in MC bass only once in past 5 weeks, so I think that downleveling you is ok. Afterall it's you who will forever live in a shame ;)

They really have so many choices? And every week when I'm selecting songs I'm like "we had Fishbone last week, I won't select it this week" and I'm generating new random number :lol: Having selections in all classes helps.

not enough http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150418/s7y2mob8.jpg

All credit to MarineIguana, he created this, I am merely echoing it here.

After receiving numerous requests from people to post the customs that I have been using for experimentation with Violin on Rocksmith, I have uploaded them. If others have created customs for violin, feel free to post links on this thread. Video links might be useful too, if available. WARNING: The BASS chart on these songs is for a REAL VIOLIN! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TUNE A BASS TO MATCH THE REQUIRED TUNING Tuning instructions: Do NOT use emulated bass. The custom is already coded to expect an instrument tuned to G,D,A,E in the 4th-6th octave, which equates to guitar notes on the 10th fret of A, 12th fret of D, 14th fret of G, and 17th fret of B (12th of E).

@@ExoGenesis91, as for Plug In Baby, i'm not sure where you got it from but part of the rules of this site is we can't have live versions or any kind of other versions of official DLC or songs already in both games. Same goes for Stockholm and Supermassive. As for the one Dropbox, that will probably be up to @@Shiroo. It's a good idea. :D

@@ExoGenesis91, @@BHMath version has the 3 4 5 hammer-on as part of the main riff, while @@Kiscsak98 version has 10 11 12 hammer-on. as for the 10 on the G, there's a little bend towards the end of the note.

Sorry, it should work now, but it's not very impressive! :lol:

Oh, no! I forgot to post my one and only go, and qualifying score on this song: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKdmdMTG83UmhYb28/view?usp=sharing I will certainly keep it in my library and try it again at a later date though - great song choice! :)

This is what your tuning window in EoF should look like for B Standard tuning (7 string with the highest string dropped): http://puu.sh/hijRX/21fbe5e972.png/ss%20%282015-04-18%20at%2006.39.30%29.png And the tuning that is set in EoF, is the tuning that the song will use. Setting a different tuning in the toolkit will only lead to getting a different tuning in the menu, but not in the song itself. Though I believe in the later toolkits, this setting is actually ignored.

Little late here: http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/38620959929522178/BA0B5C0017832E745912AC249594868057575269/ Not enough time this week to get a decent score.

Time's running out..... Lead IM: http://s6.postimg.org/scne6lb69/RS2014_CF_Championship_Week_77_Lead_IM_1_76.jpg Rhythm IM: http://s6.postimg.org/6244kd39t/RS2014_CF_Championship_Week_77_Rhythm_IM_1_74.jpg Don't know if those still count, if not, it's ok, I didn't had time to play anything else this week, hopefully I'll have more time next week (which should be in a few minutes) Btw, if I haven't been downleveled from Bass MC to Bass ADV yet, is it ok if I start playing only Bass ADV?.... Bass MC is always too difficult and the motivation to play starts fading away when I know there's no chance to get a decent score, much less getting a place in the top 3. If not, that's ok too, I'll eventually get the necessary scores to drop a class.

I played version 1.7 on bass, the scroll speed is much better now and the tone's volume is also much more enjoyable. However I found the tone to be too agressive this time, too distorted. I think you could use the bass tone from U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name", it has a good rock feel but not too distorted.

Only a few tries and some RR this week but this Pantera song was a lot of fun on bass! Thanks for the pick. http://i.imgur.com/9Rvy34Ol.jpg

I think vve could force some sort of education required things to start(become a Magna Charter), and allovv only them posting in public cdlc database (as all f*ucking vvorld does about job things), other gyus and gals should pass exams (yes I'm talking about my VVIP project) I think that'll solve most of similar to this problems, like you suggesting, all vvho vvant to post songs should be approved, novv you knovv they vvon't miss a step and could produce a valid dlc, if you don't pass it you still can post in VVorkshop area (smth like unapproved but vv\o search, vvell you could ask @@ForgeOn or @@Unleashed2k for unapproved\vvorkshop section vvith vvip cdlc database, but I doubt it) and this shouln't be bothering too much for magna charters, they already knovv a lot so it's not that hard to pass, just time consuming, I think It vvold eliminate beginner part for "vvise guys", anyvvay I'd like to developed it vvith you, vvho knovv hovv to do the things ;) that's my opinion

The "funny" thing is that this dicussion come over and over an yet the same problem appear, the criteria and the man power needed to get that done. I've stop testing things in my own time because things don't change as much as i would have expected. I would love to pass on my knowledge about CDLC and music and that's why i'm open to people asking about tone creation (only visible for charter) and i would also accept any proposition of collaboration on any CDLC (we do a good job with teinashu on those meets metal cdlc) but nobody seems to care so far. Non-working CDLC can already be hiden/deleted if they are reported to the admin (it's a simple click) and i don't think we need or can do anything more than that at the moment.

Mary Had A Little Lamb Lead small improvement, if i can get that over 90% im happy.

one rhy MM for the record, now back to lead ... http://i58.tinypic.com/21b2n4l.jpg

one try bass, i fear this is gonna be for DHM state only, though great great bassline, just not done with cash... http://i59.tinypic.com/jpfsqf.jpg

I got an acoustic Guitar as christmas present from my wife when I was 29 years old. Now I am 31 years old. I Didn't find any good books or structured way of learning the guitar online that I liked before I discovered justinguitar.com . I have been following justinguitar on and off for 2 years. Sometimes it was hard to keep motivation up and I had periods where I played everyday and other times when I didn't play at all for 3-4 months. I'm at beginner course stage 6 now. I have tendencies to quit or give up things I start with after a while, so I'm glad that I have still stuck with it. I always wanted to try out rocksmith 2014 but didn't have a electric guitar. 1 month ago I bougth a cheap electric guitar and got rocksmith right away. It is a fun way to practise and keep motivation and it compliments justinguitar in some way. I just heard about the championship and it sounds like a good idea for keeping motivation and getting better.

@@Daikano Awesome job, have got this working on my daughters volin :) Bought a piezo pickup from ebay cheap as chips and works fine. Currently a large skinhead is playing a 3/4 size pink violin lmao

Bandfuse customs are pretty new, SFenton was the first guy publically working on it. It's likely that at some point that ALL Rocksmith customs could be ported to Bandfuse. Bandfuse isn't on PC though, so it requires a hacked console to play customs, so it probably won't be as popular as Rocksmith for customs.

Not got the technical knowledge to help, but wanted to say love your Youtube channel man, some excellent guitar playing :D Stick to Rocksmith, forget that Bandfuse mungrel :D

Zerkz, I have no problem with you showcasing any of my work at MagFEST if you think people will find it useful. Heck, I may even be able to produce a video if you were showing it at a booth. As I stated on my videos, my real name is Robb Nichols and I have been working on this project for my wife and myself. I share the knowledge freely as I have no rights to produce the content for profit, as Ubisoft owns the content. The educational copyright clause applies only when you're not profiting from it, and even then it is a gray area. I'd love for Ubisoft to take notice and offer me a job though. :-D

As I mentioned to you earlier: amazing. I am attempting to get my violin set up like you did. Just experiencing some tuning issues. I PM'd ... you about it. I think you are the pioneer of a whole new movement: bass, cello, viola, violin, ukelele. Perhaps we don't even need to limit ourselves to string instruments. Maybe wind instruments are possible. Imagine playing Baker Street on the Saxophone in RS. As I have shown you I have gotten the acoustic guitar to work in RS. Plays with 100% accuracy!!! Here it is again. Remember I suck at guitar still so the misses are only due to my poor playmanship. Imagine even a harp. I swear I'd rent or buy a harp just to try that. The possibilities are endless! Imagine the piano! Woh, piano, that is huge!!! Once again brilliant work Daikano! I see a near future where there is a section on CF dedicated to "Other Instruments in Rocksmith". This is huge!

I got a chance to play BandFuse and 2014 back to back and gave them both a serious try. (I still don't have 2014, I'm more happy with 2012, YMMV). I played it enough to get get 5 stars on a song, 100 note streak, 100% a song on medium, and tried to be open minded about it. My problem with BandFuse as compared to Rocksmith is that it emphasizes the picking hand instead of the fretting hand. Their notation is about the timing of things like bends, and the right strings to hit. The notation for the fret hand is possibly OK for people really into Tab, but I found it impossible to play something that I did not already know or understand. After a little while for example, a 1/3 notation on the top string is clearly a power chord, but when I was playing a new song, and I'd get a 2/4 on the A string, it would blow my mind. With Rocksmith by contrast, I can know practically nothing about the song, and still be able to get my fret hand in position, because it's showing me exactly where to be. This is why I say Rocksmith emphasizes the fret hand, and I think that's the right emphasis. At least for me, I have waaay more trouble with where I am on the neck, and what string, than I do with picking. So for me at least, I found BandFuse to be a nice novelty, but way to close to being a Rockband 4 with their awful notation. I even have that stupid plastic Mustang guitar, and could never get their notation, even after studying a song. Now for 2014 vs. 2012, for anyone who might be curious: I like 2012 better because it's more 'fun'. The emphasis is different. 2014 is a more serious tool, and more polished and definitely better at actually learning a song. But I'm a dilettante, and don't actually care about all that, I just want to play music and have fun and learn as I have fun. 2012 meets that goal better for me, because I really enjoy playing to that stupid animated crowd. Dunno why.
