Intermediate Bass - 99.91%, 824 streak I can't get the 100%, always one note somewhere... MasterClass Bass - 98.12%, 119 streak I was stuck at around 93%, but then I went to Riff Repeat it and here it goes. I'll give it more tries and try to get above 99%.

You ofte have different tunings in old recordings caused by maybe different tape speeds or maybe tuning by ear... The 440 Hz thing became as standard in 1955, before is was different in several countries. For more information about .... and teacher mode off :) and happy birthday @@bernixix

@@Mortalo Thanks so much dude! I really do appreciate it :D What a better day than your birthday to dust off your guitar after a long time and fail miserably ^_^ http://i.imgur.com/xjkxkxb.jpg

I have to stop torturing the kids with my bass playing to allow my daughter to torture me right back with her sax practice. Ouch, she wins. I'll try again later this evening, so far on Warp Asylum Bass I got up to 96.91%, streak of 263 Now I have to run to the wood shop to put on hearing protection and run some power tools :P edit 96.91%

Cool tunes this week! Just RR'd that section in the middle but got a little sidetracked trying to do 'squeelies'.....I still suck. Enter Sandman is great fun to play too. I'm hoping to devote a little more time to the rhythm path this week. Anyhow: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/77yfjd1jubw0fl3/221680_2015-04-21_00001.png?dl=0

And I am back. I had a trip to the hospital full with ambulance ride and morphine o.o . during my trip I found out that a kidney stone is very painful , I don't recommend the experience as it was also very expensive. sadly missed last week : / but i'll post my score for the song that got this guy in metallica. http://i.imgur.com/RlKYdyK.jpg 70 % not bad for me cuz i'm not a shredder. this weeks MC bass I like it not perfect but close enough for me. hearing this song makes me think though. . . . . Have you been in a studio. no auto-tune and those girls hitting all those bum bum bum bums in perfect key. how many times did they mess up did one of them get P/Oed at the others and how tired of recording it must they have gotten. Maybe i am reading into it a bit much. anyways. http://i.imgur.com/Xh6vg3X.jpg and my neglected rhythm track I remember the first time this song was ever played on mtv on headbangers ball at midnight they made such a big to do about it and at the time it was captivating as i was pretty young at the time. http://i.imgur.com/yazki04.jpg anyways good to be back.

@@punchyrumble, a fella I follow on youtube called Josh Fossgreen does some great tuition videos, give him a watch, his fret hand technique is spot on . I can only wish I 'll loosen up but I guess that'll come with more practice :) you might be in danger of picking up bad habits off my stiff spidery performances :D my pinky finger just won't chill th f' out! Sticks out like I'm drinking tea from a china cup .

I've been observing the championship for weeks in the shadow, never feeling the guts to participate, but the songs this week are so great! I've been given a try and beginner/intermediate are really fun to play. I guess I'll enter this week if I find the time to improve my first scores :p For the moment, 79% on beginner rythm, 87% on intermediate rythm, 64% on beginner lead, 64% on intermediate lead... definitely some place for improvment. BTW, thanks nicholede for the Enter Sandman version, really nice tabbing.

@ I didn't know about that, thanks for that snapshot of history of music :D it's always cool to know these kind of things imo ^^

@@bernixix I noticed that while lead is in A438, rhythm is not, but you probably would like both "guitars" to be in traditional E std. Though I can be wrong :lol:

Very nice, I do appreciate it! I like to watch your "downgraded to Advanced" videos more than the ones against Masterclass. Advanced songs I feel like I can actually learn something by watching verses MC where it's often just way above my skill level. I've mostly been playing Metallica this week but I'll give White Zombie at least one try. It looks like it was mostly repetitive but had a few faster parts in there. Thanks!

some bass scores today. Enter Sandman Bass Warp Asylum Bass Dont really like the song, and White Zombie itself. I doubt im playin this one again Mr Sandman Bass That middle part totally surprised me. All in all sort of boring bass lines this week ( for me), well cant have it all. On to the Alien Surfer Thingy LeadPart, again ;P cheers!

Beginner Lead - 99.36%, 213 streak Beginner Rhythm - 100%, 238 streak Though I screwed one note that RS decided to accept. So I'll give it another try. Firstly rhythm felt harder, but after getting used to it, it's way easier. Intermediate Lead - 95.1%, 155 streak This E bends on 3rd fret... Meaty :) Advanced Rhythm - 85%, 62 streak That's tough.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=428948374 Well, blow me down... it's been a while, but I felt @@punchyrumble might've appreciated a video ;) "Tadaaa!" *magicians apprentice hand gesture to video link* It's still processing so might be a bit 'til clickabibble. https://youtu.be/ZqI6Rnq4UYw Better score but worser streak (my highest being 426 but I haven't bothered posting that one since I played them back to back.) I settled for switching to palm muting at the end which is really flipping awkward for me but using my bird flipping finger on my left hand wasn't producing a mute but was producing more misses and my hand just doesn't wrap round enough to get my thumb over the top... despite having a dislocatey left thumb :) This song's actually really flippin' easy... a low intermediate I reck'. 4-5 perhaps on difficulty.

@@Geist - I hope that you are better and stay that way. Welcome back. For Advanced bass, (Warp Asylum), I submit my weekly Tuesday Slight Uptick. I'm now at 97.71 accuracy, 379 note streak

Ok, i got it to work. ^_^ It was the album name, don't know how it happened, but somehow there was an inverted lower case t at the end of the album name. I tried everything, deleting xml files, ogg and nothing was working, until I opened the xml files in notepad and deleted the inverted lowercase t and then it worked. So, thank you @@cozy1 for the help. :D

If it finds errors in the FHPs that are already there (ie. a fret value lower than the FHP in effect), it will warn you and offer to show you where the error is so you can choose whether to cancel the save and manually correct the FHP. It should give specific reasons why it's complaining for each. EOF won't replace your manual FHPs in a track difficulty with generated ones unless you manually open the fret hand positions list for that track difficulty and click the "Generate" button. It will even warn you before removing any existing FHPs. EOF requires the author to be very deliberate when replacing FHPs with generated ones to ensure it doesn't happen by accident. If you ignored EOF when it warned about removing existing FHPs, there's nothing else it could do to prevent them from being replaced. It is not recommended to place FHPs and then substantially alter the chart because you risk having to edit the FHPs as well. The short summary is I'm not going to add a complicated system for EOF to be able to tell apart which FHPs were automatically generated and which ones were manually entered. The logic isn't designed to add FHPs to a track difficulty that already has them. It really isn't feasible for the FHP generation logic to be 100% accurate in taking into account all possibilities regarding chord fingerings, since some players may stretch their fingers to avoid moving their entire hand and some may not. That's why the index finger can be defined for a note to control this. In your slide example, you could easily just define the fingering for the first note after each slide to use the index finger and that would cause the automated FHPs to offer something similar to what you're wanting. I can put some thought into how to improve the automated logic to treat slides, but it probably wouldn't produce better results than defining fingering to control the automation.

@@bernixix Happy b-day man! Well, i'm gonna say it in spanish haha: Feliz cumpleaños!

Yes. Also, start simple. Many of us did not start with metal...sure a few metal riffs here and there...but we started with simpler stuff. Punk is easy, gets that right hand speeding up. Start with Blitzkrieg Bop, it will teach you power chords , which are found in the majority of metal. Don't practice things you've become good at. Practice what you're bad at. So if you learn to change between C and G effectively and quickly...don't keep practicing songs with C and G, practice new chords. If you learn one part of a solo and can play it without thinking, dont keep practicing that...learn the next part. Play without Rocksmith too. Pick up your guitar out of game, play chords and scales you've learned from the game. Practice riffs you've learned. Play the arcade practice games. String Skip Saloon (don't look at your guitar when you play this), Temple of the Bends (practice bends with ALL fingers) and the Duck Redux (don't look down at your guitar). Learn scales in session mode, they make it fun... Focus on the quality of your practice, not the length. At first it might be frustrating...but, keep going. Don't get discouraged, YOU WILL GET BETTER!

Happy birthday @@bernixix... You share your birthday with the Queen of England *curtseys deeply*... And Iggy Pop :) *girates*

@@Mortalo You're right I noticed I forgot to change it as well on rythm thou wanted to ask about that cus I happened to be tone-deaf to appreciate the difference between those tunings on guitar. But gotta say bass sounded a bit better in A438 Hz!

@@bernixix Happy birthday old pal :)

@@Rodman Sure, they are... it's amazing... I just can't stop playing it. :D

Tips and tricks,,, well. A shit ton of practice is a tip. As far as warm up try the bass warm up exercise,, just emulate the guitar,, serves the same purpose. Songs,,, man. Do you remember ( Lead path ) Go With the Flow rhythm path. And Amanda for any of them but you need to play the chords. LEARN CHORDS. You are going to need them. Even if you want to play solos,, guess what ,, you have to play rhythm too. Also there have been some great chord CDLC learning tools uploaded recently. Try searching exercise, or you in the Ignition search. Also try guitar chords,,. How long,, that depends on your dedication level. If you play and hour a day with Rocksmith,, I can almost assure you will learn faster that you think you are. Also , do NOT be afraid of session mode. You basically play a scale shape,, but you can skip around, you don't have to just go up and down. Follow the Rocksmih recommends thing, it actually has a purpose. and do ALL of the lessons in game. even if you don't pass them, DO them. Speaking of that,, start out with the lessons, they will help you a lot. And you mention Metallica, well probably the easiest Metallica song to play is,,, In my opinion,, Sad But True, however, Am I Evil is just damn fun and will build your endurance up, fast as shit and long,, but simple. I figured that one out without using a tab.

Hey everyone, Unfortunately we have lost a few staff members recently who stepped down or became inactive: Asmo, Luiza, The Troglodyte, YLedbetter. Thank you for everything. I am proud to announce we have added several new members to our team. Mods:@@Liquidlizard, @@rummhamm87, @@xDatBoiSOBLE, @@ZagatoZee Social Media / Mod: @@firekorn Developer: @@Anahkiasen (creator of Furnace) I'm looking forward to working with these amazing staff members on improving CustomsForge. Another new addition is that we've moved our domains over to a new registrar and finally migrated our 3rd server. Want to access ignition faster? You can now use cdlcsearch.com and/or ignition.ninja to access it. Another new feature we recommend everyone to use is that you can now enable two-factor authentication to your account. The big question. What's the current status of ignition?!?!? We've been dealing with a delay in development, recently our main developer was sick and our other developer was neck deep in work. The good news is that we're rewriting ignition's framework and plan to implement it in may. Our current plan is to release an update sometime between the middle of may or the end of june for both Ignition and the CustomsForge Song Manager! Because of some CFSM features we can't release it until the new ignition update is released. I apologize for the wait but everyone will definitely like this update! Additionally we plan on improving the whole system for better theming, features, and more. We will be shifting development services for better use and looking for better low-cost alternatives. We're working on streamlining our development process, becoming more active on social media (Facebook, Twitter, possibly opening up our own subreddit), and making everything faster/better. We will be using this portal page to post all types of rocksmith and music related news. I can't wait to bring everyone here the best search engine for CDLC! Don't forget to donate and thank you for supporting and using CustomsForge as your place to learn new music. Also do everyone a favor and support ubisoft by paying for that pack you've been wanting ages for.

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. of course we have since were participating since more than 30 weeks regularly and updating the SSL if any slot is free. Some guys just came out if their songs are chosen...AND were almost winning, and somewhere I heard that the winner have advantage when songs were chosen. And that's what I do before add new songs to the list, I check them before for the difficulty and for issues that we don't have to change the song during the week. And one DreamTheatre song should be counted double or threetime cause their lenghts. edit: if you guys don't like my choices I will take them off Noo don't remove them. It's good to have choice. It's not personal if someone doesn't like a song and it's good to see and experience some "off the wall" charts :D even if I can't play them with my slabs of ham fists ;)

Yup, you can use the Toolkit (found on the main page of the forum). Just click on the "CDLC 2 Tab" tab, and there you go.

My mate used to (and still does) do it by ear, so quickly and accurately it was a wonder to behold. When I make customs with "fine tuning" it's just trial and error. I build it as (for example) A435, test it, build it as A434, test it, build it as... you get the picture.
