Exactly One year ago, there was week 27, first week I participated in. And that was really important moment for me, not only cause I became Organizer, but because of one particular band. But let's start with the beginning... Since seeing Championship back on Anvil, I wanted to give it a try. I wanted to learn how to play first, so I was not following RC at all. Then came the CustomForge age, and I was making progress at filling the DD bars. When I finally could play songs on Hard (well, Breaking the Law was quite easy, but still!), I decided to try myself with Championship. So I was coming from time to time, to check the beginner songs. When it was something like "Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band" I knew that I have practice more, but there were also songs like "I Miss the Misery", which I didn't liked and did not want to participate with. Late April, Week 27, I went to see what awaits me. Band? Metric. Song? Sick Muse. I had no idea what to expect, never heard about the band. Firstly, I watched the playtrough - "Huh, it looks like something I could do well with". Secondly I gave the try to official video - "That's not bad, not bad at all". So I played it, posted screen and downloaded all other Metric cdlc. Then I listened to their other songs. And I was blown away. First moment I heard Emily Haines sing "Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer", I knew that Metric won't be just other nice band. I become a fan. Phew, before only Metallica and Iron Maiden were making me nod so much. I don't want to waste your time with this personal crap but Championship introduced me to a band that become quite important to me. So here I want to thank everyone who made that happen: @@Kaijin, @@Joey, other Organizers that I didn't met, @@Aquilae for making wonderful cdlc of wonderful band and whoever selected Sick Muse (awesome guy for sure). Thanks guys, my life become better thanks to you :)

I've had very little time to cram in bass practice so since my first runs on beg', int' and adv' I have literally practiced NONE and just meandered around with non championship songs that I like to listen to... then I came back to Nirvana for a bit because the bass line's pretty :) So... before I move on Saturday and since my internet is getting cut off tomorrow, a video. See you folks in approximately 6 days, when I will have a much more pleasant back drop! @@Mortalo might have sobered up from his "I love you man!" thing by then :)... though I hope not... that was nice to read :D http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=434904190

This is what the championships are here for and I love hearing stories like this. I too have found many new bands that I would have never thought to listen to because of the championships and my playing has gotten so much better because of the championships. I am happy that the CS has helped you so much @@Mortalo and I know that if you keep up with it there is no limit as to what you can learn.

@@Mortalo I`m not fully sure, but probably Metric was my choice. Why you make such post, you drinking? :D

Slap & Pop - 82%, 29 streak After ~10 minutes of practice, that's what I got. First try donwleveled me, so I'm happy with what I got :D

@@then3verend, you do pops with your thumb? just kidding you anyway that's very uncommon spots, you have a very special hand position for that technic it seems. I played this run a bit sloppy I think, others sounded better. But hey, it's 100% and my best score :P I used my slap ring to avoid any damage to my thumb and middle finger cause my index had a nice blood blister like yours @@then3verend. The video is still loading but here is the link, it should work in the next hour. sorry, youtube processing failed But I don't like the bass tone now. In the video it sounded very mushy. I will rechange it to the guitar tone. I convert the vid to mp4 and try again. http://youtu.be/bi7dqzTpzGI

Grr, Fraps is too intensive on my machine to get a 100% run, but in case anyone doesnt believe im not slapping the bass, here ya go http://s30.postimg.org/fd16h0h8x/IMAG0024_1.jpg

http://i62.tinypic.com/6z60wy.jpg again :D Mortalo now is better??

@@MaZtoR Can`t stop to play a fun song, and unlike a song Coheed, so if you want fun, you need join there to intermediate and beat my score. :D yes this score: http://i.imgur.com/9TmW7ti.jpg Found that i always missed not double stop bends, but next note on 4th string, bcs of a bit continue bend 4th string fingertip (bend was up), so i started play bends down and no more miss there. And yet i follow method by@ with a few frethand muted strings and found it a bit easier, than play at one muted string.

I should suspect that :ph34r: Maybe because I'm not? :lol:

Yet one update: http://i.imgur.com/DkVqkNF.jpg

Update for bass: http://i.imgur.com/oa5ajSb.jpg

my wirsts are now broken!!! Good night!! :(

Man, i'm so happy :D I'm going to the Monsters of Rock to see Judas Priest, Motorhead and Ozzy Osbourne!

Hi all!!! My last update maybe it was better that before!! klaw beg http://i59.tinypic.com/14bq8n6.jpg Thank you

Woah! What a performance. That's what I call showmanship. I don't think many current bands could pull that off. :D

Bump http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/The%20crowing%209329_zps623tcjzz.jpg Its a bit lonely here in advanced. Some of you Intermediates need to take a leap of faith and join me. ;)

Screwed the start up but somehow held it together for the remainder of the song..... http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/kkllhngatd57a2j/221680_2015-04-30_00001.png?dl=0

I never seen anyone compare Metallica to Garbage, that's two complitely different bands, but yeah I have to agree both are really good. Garbage got official dlc, so I can understand the sentiment, but I'm ok with cdlc for Metallica.

Tried improve my score, and fail, but make video. My main issue for good score, it is correct muting C5 and bend at double stop at 8th fret (seems D3). And off course terrible timing. Hope yet improve quality play, need more practice. Look at video and found it very helpful, so found some extra mistake in my play, which not see in game. Sorry video blocked in German.

1 try bass for DHM, last score of week ;( http://i58.tinypic.com/2qj9745.jpg

After i post a few more soundgarden songs, I will return to the NIN songs. stay tuned

Nice @@Nacholede , ive always wanted to see ozzy and motorhead, but ozzy and motorhead never come close. I'm seeing Testament with Exodus in two days, its my "Semester is over" present to myself EDIT: changed it because he's seen Priest before

@@klaw You have lower accuracy then in your previous score.

nice @@Nacholede I was just talking about this with my wife but no way we can get out there for it.

@@Mortalo @@Joey I subscribe basically what Joey said and btw ... wtf is Sick Muse... never ever heard 'bout it but surely gonna check it! ^^

I think I got it corrected for the next hotfix. I've been doing lots of code clean up during the past several revisions, things like removing redundant variable declarations (so that the one in a local block of code takes the scope from one defined further out) and a 32 bit variable turned into an 8 bit one. I think the offending change was r1389.

Welp, just got done with my final paper...so...

In Platform shoes as well...

Having some Liquid Sunshine today?

@@manchot66, yup issue is about access, you AV is too "overprotective" and sooner or later will tell you when to go to bed or what to buy and what what to play\watch xD

another video. have do do some cause my testing time of the software runs out. Think I'm gonna buy the action recorder later. But now one more Supergroove Your white shirt Lead guitar 99% in LAS. Love the guitar tone anyone knows how to add a second Playthrough to the record page?

I'd say the guy is trying to sell you a 2nd hand Godin, tbh. Seriously, though, Try out what you can - think about what you like or dislike about the guitars. Figure out if it feels right, and if it doesn't, think about why. Is the neck too big? The wrong shape? Higher fret access uncomfortable? Once you do this research, you can apply that to what you've got in mind. Do the JP series have the neck profile you liked, or not? What can you get from Godin?

@@smokeymcpot25 The email address for creator of You're not alone and Bones exposed: connor.gioia@gmail.com I sent him an email regarding fixing the links awhile back. I have Bones exposed in my dlc folder. I uploaded it to my google drive, so you can download it from there: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxmbE6LXNQCkRFN2bm8ya0VFS00&authuser=0

My advice: Go to a guitar shop and put your hands on guitars from 500 € to 900 €. You have to play a guitar to know if it fits to you. Don't look at names, don't look at the country they were produced. Just play them.

Hi, folks. The latest hotfix (r1398) is in the first post. Changes are as follows: *Altered RS2 export to prevent duplicate single notes from exporting in the event of overlapping arpeggio phrases. *Added logic to remove the possibility of overlapping arpeggio phrases. *Changed the handling of time signatures so that the denominator (beat unit) alters the length of a beat as it does in music theory. To prevent unwanted alteration for existing projects' beat timings, this is not enabled by default for existing projects, but can be enabled or disabled by going into Song>Properties and toggling the "Use accurate time signatures" option. This makes a major change with how time signatures are treated in EOF. To prevent breaking anybody's tempo mapping, this song property is not enabled by default for existing projects, however it is enabled by default for new projects/imports. @@Alternity Give this a try, it looked like it imported your sample MIDI correctly, but I haven't stress tested the new logic.

@Shiroo, updated Starlight post. ^_^

@@Mortalo I played it too, 1st bend at 8, then shift on 7th (half bar), 3th stay same position on 10th fret.

this one for the lead http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150429/g4el4d2a.jpg thumb with slapring and pops with middlefinger since I have a blister on index the video of this run follows, upload needs a while about 700 minutes for 5 GB :o

That's great, cuzz I still haven't managed it on the RS1 compatibility files! I thought I had a handle on the syntax and format of the edited files, but obviously not. Since you're almost done, I think I'll wait till you release it.

Thanks for setting this up. I love this community.

The Disc Import Tool will only work if you own the original Rocksmith on Steam. Maybe you can activate your retail disk copy of Rocksmith 1 on Steam?

My version of RS2014 came with Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Boston, Alice in Chains, Def Leppard, Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden.... do we have a different definition of "major"?

Why can't you would be the good question then.

Metallica did Guitar Hero game, it was quite a while ago, still there can be some issues with the rights. Besides we have all (almost) Metallica songs here. Though I would love to see Metric pack :wub:

Check the official Rocksmith Request infographic here. http://customsforge.com/topic/9291-rocksmith-infographic-requests/ Metallica most likely demands too much money and Ubisoft refused.

You can use your Rocksmith realtone cable, and you wouldn't need any pedals to start. They sell optional "accessories" like the stealth pedal (acts like a wah pedal or volume pedal), the iRig Blueboard (acts like a 4 pedal pedalboard, where you can assign each button on the Blueboard to control a pedal inside Amplitube), and some other accessories. None of the accessories are needed to start though, as everything can be controlled with your keyboard and mouse. I would suggest starting with Amplitube 3, as it contains all of the other versions of Amplitube (Amplitube Fender, Amplitube Metal, Amplitube Jimi Hendrix, etc). If you download it you can try it free for either 9 or 11 days (I can't remember which) so you can check it out with no commitment. I can send you a pdf book that I downloaded that runs through Amplitube 3 and all of it's amp and effect models. It explains a lot of how it works (it helped me a lot) and tells you what the real-world equivalent of some of the pedals inside Amplitube are. A lot of the effects pedals are renamed so they don't have to worry about patent infringement. Check out these videos as well, they might give you some better insight:
