(at lest to me)

I'm no bassist and i don't own a bass, but i agree with @Mortalo on this one. Big gun confused me the first time i played it in lead (the riff is the same as bass) but this time i new what to expect and it was no problem at all. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Big%20gun%20Bass%2096_zps9utxp2tk.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Cities%20On%20Flame%20bass%209641_zpsgdv7z2wm.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_You%20oughta%20know%20bass%2091_zpsmcmhxqwc.jpg

Bass scores....

First thing's first, Cities on Flame is very wrong on a series of notes on bass, and it sounds nasty its in the verse, heres a screen of one of them its a 3 on the A, definitely should be a 4....makes me cringe every time i hear it http://s23.postimg.org/lb5pobm0b/2015_05_17_00001.jpg Now for my review of the three potential songs (with scores) First off, Big Gun, definitely not even in the same league as these two so uhh...keep it in Intermediate...Downpicks, thumbs, and using two fingers upstrumming all work, and I can do that in my sleep. (and that hurts me to say because this is my favorite of the three to listen to and to play :/ ) http://s3.postimg.org/4fz4hmwpv/2015_05_17_00003.jpg Cities on Flame: Okay I see the argument here, the main riff is a bit tricky and the bridge has its quirks, definitely hard to sight read, but thats about it. I do believe these two songs are on the same skill level, but what keeps this song in advanced is the lack of diversity, if this goes to MC Bass it can and will go to 100% MM, whereas Alanis would be near impossible to memorize like that with all of the skips and grooves. http://s21.postimg.org/eu65easg7/2015_05_17_00002.jpg

I just looked at the week 82 leader board. @@missis sumner 's advanced bass score got placed beside my name. I appreciate the bonus points, but i haven't even downloaded the song yet

BOC: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=444631073I know, this score doesn't count. This was my 1st and only try (so far) at 75% speed as that's all I can manage atm. I love the riff but I'm so out of practice I can't play it well at all at 100% speed. Won't give opinion of ratings for any of these because my judgement is marred by said lack of practice the past few weeks. AC/DC: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=444630843Love this track. I'll probably just play this to death this week to get back on track with the practice... this is like 100 lines in detention, except, way more fun :) The Editors: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=444631002a nice choice for beginner but I'm really not digging it meself. Whiney Morissette: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=444630910N'yurm... I like this bassline, I don't like the song. I'd like to learn it but Alanis' voice is the human equivalent of an air raid siren. I don't know if I can cope with that shit :(

No problem :) Seeing how nev and albatross agrees with me, I'll just change people who I listen to :P We pretty much agree on ratings, for me it was which one is harder to make sound right, but it will be a lot on skill and preference of the player. So basses will stay how they were (unless some really good counter arguments will come). PS. Morisette has pop :ph34r:

Damn i post a lot today. Fiancée working and me being up early without a hangover really gives you a bunch of free times to play. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Big%20gun%2086_zpsyx8sz5ql.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Big%20gun%20Rhythm%2093_zpsc0bmucgk.jpg

I had to check out those note. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/111_zpsphiwyeic.jpg I think its a mistake. As far as i know its impossible to play that.

Thx, man - but you gotta hand the flowers to @@lordlk that time ;) When i was in the list to add it - it was already there... funny thing that always happens with young songs to me .... same with the jack, thx to @@Kaijin :) Whatever - lets have a ton of fun with it and watch some old Schwarzenegger movies, too ;)

no, not possible that way.... but if those two notes should be played at the same time the D# on 6th fret have to move to the next string (D) to 1st fret, same note there: D# (orEb), then you will have a doublestop, a minor third. But I don't know if it should, I didn't play anything until now. But how is it possible to write 2 different notes on the same string... really curious

Rhythm scores.... Rhythm IM: http://s6.postimg.org/ihujthcy9/RS2014_CF_Championship_Week_82_Rhythm_IM_1_83.jpg Rhythm ADV: http://s6.postimg.org/vainteok1/RS2014_CF_Championship_Week_82_Rhythm_AD_1_86.jpg Rhythm MC: http://s6.postimg.org/eo13kbvm9/RS2014_CF_Championship_Week_82_Rhythm_MC_1_90.jpg

Big Gun, ran through it a couple of times, can't get it. Can't even get it to stay maxxed, downgraded everytime. Pathetic tbh especially seeing as I love DC and although not my favourite, I still know it well. http://i58.tinypic.com/os95pz.jpg Morisette, first run 87% acc, 106 streak... go figure :P http://i58.tinypic.com/346ukgl.jpg

All of these songs I played once through on "Learn a song" then once through on score attack. No use of RR or anything like that, even on the sections I wanted to use it. http://i.imgur.com/KYcG3Ty.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XcEMkId.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WFeqeic.jpg http://i.imgur.com/z6XKBfq.jpg Difficulties seem to make sense to me. The Big Gun riff is pretty tricky, but it's not that bad and it's one of like two riffs in the song. The Alanis Morissette I probably did especially bad on because of lots of string skipping and (sometimes unnecessary) fret hopping and such in the verses. I should be able to get a handle on it before too long with RR (but why is the second verse one big section? The first verse had two sections that were just muted and unmuted E2's.). In Cities on Flame I had trouble reading one of the riffs at the end in real time, so I'll probably just RR it to figure it out and memorize it if I want to do better.

I got a question on technique from the bass line for Munich. I'm sure I saw at least two instances where it called for playing two notes on the same string at the same time. How does that work? At first I thought it might have been caused by too many beers, but then I realized I ran out of beer a couple of days ago... BIAB (out to get some more beer)

I really think @@Kaijin should be the obvious prove to move friggin' morissette to intermediate and Ac/dC to masterclass (it happens to me as well mate ^^). Just my opinion.

Same song, same score haha :D http://i.imgur.com/CXjJIQ6.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/5ln3wpd.jpg Tie for first...just gotta get my streak up! :D Edit: Nevermind, just looked at the recent posts..... :(

I rather wanted to rest for a while... maybe I can just check those twos ok, I've played both songs once in LAS and once in SA that speaks for itself http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150518/fnva6wnm.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150518/vgj3e74o.jpg the other http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150518/sma4i5pv.jpg http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150518/7je57eo8.jpg you oghta know is always the same with a couple of fills, not really hard and I heard one wrong note. cities in flame is way harder to play, not the whole song but some spots are though cause it's speed. Any strange notes are there. So in my opinion the BOC song should be MC and AM Adv

I think a lot of this argument comes down to how you define the difficulty of a song, and I could see the argument going a few different ways depending on which one you think is the best definition. A few that I see as possible definitions are 1. How hard it is to get the gist of the song. By this I mean you don't need to nail every note and certainly not every fill, but you have the groove locked in and can manage not to sound awful most of the time. 2. How hard it is to get a high accuracy score (say, 99%). 3. How hard it is to get 100% accuracy score. This can put a lot of emphasis on a very small part of the song, and also puts a good deal of emphasis on the length of the song. 4. How hard it is to get the song to sound right musically. This maybe allows some things that RS registers as misses, but is also more strict on a lot of stuff RS allows. And then, of course, there's the fact that every player is different, and what's difficult for some my not be difficult for others. Anyway, some score updates: http://i.imgur.com/dXGAhHy.jpg http://i.imgur.com/WpIHUBG.jpg Edit: Also, @@then3verend, those notes being messed up in Cities on Flame is actually really obvious now that I played it again, even given my tin ears. Especially since in the later verse with the power chords it's actually correct.

Im sorry im a bit late, was involved in woman deals. I tried a bass a songs Alanis and Ac-Dc: http://i.imgur.com/DYFLvpl.jpg My rate there 5, so as there need learned only one easy pattern for all a song. I sure there appear score=100% And Alanis: http://i.imgur.com/4hWjket.jpg My rate 7. A bit more complicated, and not so easy to get right sounds, have enough shifting frethand, have a lot ghost notes, which would be good to play right - not only for score, but and for great sounds. So Ac-Dc setted in to right class. And yet one score: http://i.imgur.com/aJBnBRE.jpg My rate 8, bcs of enough fast arpeggio, and fast outro, there really hard to get score close to 100 not depend of sounds. Sorry if my opinion different of your. Anyway this week for battle guitarists. :) No matter which class will bass Alanis or Oyster, both is advanced level.

I guess there will be this sort of reaction...

Big Gun - when I played it 1st time on lead, riff took me off guard. 2nd time (on rhythm) it was not difficult at all, it became second nature. Bass is just that riff, with time, you're get it. I believe in you :) I was talking about BOC and Morisette, because CIties on Flame has one tricky fast part that repeats, while on Morisette bass is more complex and I felt that it'll be much harder to make it sound properly. @ and @ are welcome to comment :)

some first runs on the bass Munich Bass Songs like that still are tough on my fingers. Non-stop picking/plucking is exhausting. @@MaZtoR i played that as a quick alternate (6-3-6-3) and that was fine. Big Gun Bass Awesome song ;D lots of fun Cities on Flame with Rock n Roll Bass You Oughta Know Bass Those last 2 feel the same in difficulty. Theres nothing really hard, but it needs a look into RR to get it right. cheers!

Already got it haha :D

@@missis sumner Thanks for joining your voice to Kaijin's and mine, do appreciate it :D I didn't want to think we were trying to move big gun over because we really like the tune and that's blurring our sight or smtg lol ^_^

I found Big Gun more difficult than Morissette...

Struggling with the int lead song this week. Having more fun with Big Gun. Just a little jealous of Rodman going to the AC/DC concert. I booked tickets for my son and I (he's 10 and loves them!) a few weeks ago but have to wait till December to see them :(

Ok, first goes: I've played this before: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKUTVMdGc4dmw1LXM/view?usp=sharing Not my favourite Editors track, but I like it. Never played this before, and it shows: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKQlNSUTFSTUxjbzA/view?usp=sharing I've played this before, in the Championship? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKUDN1THppc1pIdTg/view?usp=sharing And this is not as easy as my score makes out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKNGx5YUNEVFNKY0k/view?usp=sharing There are a lot of notes in a row there that you can get a lot of points on, but I just haven't sussed how the hell the rest of it goes from my first play.

Eh, not a fan of BOC (love to listen to Godzilla) but playing it is just ughhhh. That and Alanis morisette's song is basically my ex reminding me what I did to her so uhh... Not going to be winning this week

Ah, that's better! Two misses in the last verse. http://i.imgur.com/TbP1JV5.jpg And here's video of it!

Mercy should be ready in a few days. :D

I won't say the opposite, like I stated in the previous post, I think it's just a matter of the type of arrangement.... I don't know about @@bernixix, but in my case, both on guitar and bass, the part that I get completely http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-whacky011.gif is the "verse" (I never know how to properly call a section of a song :blush:), with the open E, E7, A5, open E, E5, A4, etc. (I think I got that right...). My fingers just can't cope with what's on the screen, I usually sight read pretty well (but I can't say the same about the fingers reaction :lol:), but this type of pattern just confuses me completely. I never use RR, but yesterday I used it to see what was the max speed that I could play that section.... both on guitar and bass, >80% speed, misses start to appear. I guess we all have our "weaknesses", in my case, this type of arrangements is a huge one. That being said, I totally understand if @@Mortalo don't change the current classes of the bass arrangements. I was going to check that myself.... I didn't noticed it while playing, but I agree with you, it looks like a mistake, I don't see any way possible to play that....

I have only played Big Gun once. I'll try to get on to it again later.

Here's the full show if you want it, which i know you do. :P :D I also find it adorable that Matt and Chris are wearing matching jet fighter onesies. :lol:

I can swap Morisette with Blue Ouyster Cult. Big Gun is Intermediate, it's not difficult. @@Rodman T2 in TV yesterday :D

AC/DC! Nice, my song selection :D

@@then3verend Not right now. In the future when awards system will be more user (organizer) friendly, then will add separate Die Hard awards. Now it's not matter.

Cities on Flame were pulled off few weeks back, so it could return with higher quality cdlc thanks @@jbroch and @@manchot66 @ That was on Beg and you're in MC. That doesn't count.

I'll publish a play-through video when I finish compiling it. Here's the two part custom. Standard bass is the violin (GDAE) 1764 and the bass bonus arrangement is the cello (CGDA) 882 http://www.mediafire.com/download/4cd2rrgvhnh3dgg/The-Beatles_Eleanor-Rigby_Violin_Cello_v1_p.psarc

Thanks very much for starting this project! I used to play violin at school and when I left school the 60s scene started and lots of people started playing guitar, so I stopped playing violin and began learning guitar. About ten years ago I had the urge to start playing violin again so went and bought an electric violin. Played for a few months and haven't touched it since When I saw your project it has encouraged me to start playing violin again. As I've posted several CDLCs for guitar and bass and watched your video about tuning etc. I think I'll be able to do some customs for violin. I've been working today on a violin part for Eleanor Rigby and I'm pleased with the results. Update - after playing this several times I decided to make this better by tweaking the chart. I've also done a playthrough video - download new version here - http://www.mediafire.com/download/rdr50mjrgb9c081/Beatles-The_Eleanor-Rigby_v1_p.psarc

@PC Plum and I have been messing about with a compilation of Slash Solos for about a week now. 25 solos and riffs, from 9 songs in 20 minutes. Lead, Rhythm and Bass are included - this is really intended as a Lead CDLC primarily (Plum forced me to add Rhytyhm/Bass) - however please provide any feedback you can, stating which path you played. We already have picked up a few very minor issues with the CDLC that will be tweaked prior to database submission, this release is intended to try and find any others. For the moment, basic tones are applied to prevent game crashing - no custom tones(yet). DD is applied and seems to be working (please feel free to extensively test this). Very minimal work has been done on the tech notes - another week of work is likely needed to make them amazing - however my free time doesn't really allow that for the moment - maybe in a future update. Please, any and all feedback welcome.

I have a jtaged xbox 360. Where would I find instructions on downloading the customs songs to it! Thanks. New to this site. I have been playing Rocksmith 2014 for a year.

I agree that the charter does a lot of work, and absolutely credit should be given when you're uploading somebody else's work -- taking credit for somebody else's work is just plain rude. However, a charter should not be able to claim "ownership" over a CDLC as it was never their IP to begin with. The "rocksmith content" of a CDLC not made by the actual rights-holder of a song should be considered "public domain." It doesn't make sense to claim any sort of right over a CDLC unless you own the copyright on the actual song! This is a tricky issue, and I certainly want to see charters get the credit for all their hard work and gifts to the community. I don't know who was banned or what the relevant songs were, I'm just concerned with this curious double-standard -- it's like trying to sue somebody for copyright infringement because they made a copy of your bootleg concert recording.
