alright, i've tried Working Man from last week and i got a decent 82% out of it (1st try). I think i'm gonna compete for masterclass. I'm pretty sure my real level is somewhere between advanced and masterclass, so i might be moving back and forth between the classes when i can't reach higher than 79% (especially if a really hard song comes for mc), but whatever, this is so much fun :D i'll try to get higher accuracies during the week. You know, usually I play a new song and then i never try to learn it or anything, i just go to the next new one (CDLC are baaaaad for this xD), but this championship is making me wanna try to get better at songs and it's awesome. thanks again guys

some guitar scores: Cities on Flame Rhythm, 97,56% Cities on Flame Lead 90,78% Chains And Things Lead, 96,89%

@@albatross213 Drums, Violin, Xylophone(4-mallet technique as well), Piano/Keyboard, Guitar, Bass, and a vocal style similar to Newsted and Chuck Billy. The band thing happened for a moment, made some Extremely low quality recordings and tried it out. Would want to do it again through a studio once I graduate from college and have the funds available. I could post a link if anyone is interested

Well, my score is embarrassingly lower than @@then3verend's. http://i.imgur.com/vMclA3U.jpg While I wouldn't expect to get too many perfects during the verses, it's kind of frustrating getting a whole lot of "early" and "good" on the chorus, when I'm pretty sure I'm playing exactly on rhythm (i've also noticed this on other songs, like Blitzkrieg Bop). Seems to be a common theme for me on anything where many of the same note are played in sequence at a reasonable speed, but not really on isolated notes or notes where the pitch is changed. This makes me think it's not the "Display lag correction" setting, but something else that I'm doing. Might I need to pluck harder or softer, or do a little muting between notes when possible? Another thing I've also noticed that might be related is when you have the volume up high the game can register extra notes when playing some of the guitarcade games (I think I've especially noticed this in Scale Racer and Ducks... uh... the fretting game with ducks, whatever it's called). I guess the game could also be doing weird stuff related to this if I have the volume too high in other modes, which might explain the above. @@2groggy - Yeah, I'm pretty sure you've leveled up now in lead guitar by scoring above 99%, and since you're in beginner, I guess the "Pour Some Sugar On Me" rule can't apply. congratulations!

I'm working on the issues on Cities On Flames Lead that manchot66 can fix them. Puh, it's more than I thought. Sitting about 2 hours to find them out and screenshot them, would be about 8 or 9 bars. Be patient, new version should come out soon. after finishing there were about 15 bars corrected. Now let's wait and see

Beg Lead, 93% acc, 125 streak http://i60.tinypic.com/359y3vr.jpg Int Bass :D :D at last lmao, was spending ages at 80% speed on RR, getting nowhere really so had a go and..... 86% acc, 171 streak woot! http://i57.tinypic.com/kxmp0.jpg

Tried Big gun lead a few times today but the solo is to long and hard for me so i decided that i wont play it anymore. I don't believe i would learn anything from it. But here are some Rhythm improvements. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Big%20gun%20Rhythm%2095_zps0neluwvw.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Cities%20On%20Flame%20Rhythm%209652_zps7ebpdk43.jpg

quick update Cities on Flame Lead 92,34% Cities on Flame Rhythm 97,39%

@ I heard that @manchot66 does miracles on guitar charts, try to talk with him. I'm nowhere near being good to tell a thing. B.B King Guitar - 88%, 59 streak

Eh, I kind of doubt it's my sense of rhythm, at least for things like the chorus in You Oughta Know (the verses are a different matter). For example, I think most of the B.B. King song is more rhythmically (and technically, as there's at least string switching and changing frets somewhat often) complex than the chorus riff, but I had fewer "early" and "late" notes throughout the song than I've had in just a single chorus of You Oughta Know, and I'm hitting mostly perfects (though I'm too lazy to define "mostly" more precisely by counting everything). Speaking of which, I'm putting my playthrough of the B.B. King song below. It's actually really fun to play on bass! (And I have no idea what happened when I missed the notes :huh:) Another thing that I thought of is that I tend to pluck relatively close to the neck. I think just because that's how I learned to do it. I might try plucking a little bit closer to the bridge to see if that changes anything, since that's probably something I should get used to at some point anyways. And then probably try playing around with preamp EQ before I start to try other things to chase perfects. Also, you play drums too! Are you planning to make a one-man band? Or can you not sing?

Munich beginner lead 99.14%. Does that bump me ti intermediate lead next week? Oh, those weird volume fluctuations on the guitars went away after the 2nd reboot.

... this is just a tribute ... http://i58.tinypic.com/2mos42d.jpg

@@albatross213 I'm also a drummer, so rhythm comes second nature to me, also I've had my fair share of high score battles. I do know that repeating notes focus on the highest db of a pluck, and that there's a certain threshold to register. I recommend really annunciating each note and not playing it as a line.

I spent some time on BOC Cities on flame bass and got up to 85% accuracy

for the Blues - for the the King http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150519/gva2vsil.jpg

You are right. Everyone should be able to honour B.B King, so you can play it on bass as well!

in the meanwhile I play the rhythm http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150520/g2rhumvy.jpg

getting closer: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/38623889351340260/FED8494F895F103516ED25C9F491A711CF4D7947/ Gave alanis another shot: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/38623889351340982/F2440E7AF9645FDA696F620C945C27E6190896B7/

Not technically my first attempt at this song since I'd played an earlier version once before, but it's my first run of this more updated version. Fantastic song, everything from BoC is so much fun to play. Anyways, 88% MC Lead http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/544152993456501732/EC7E4699531520EF0CB502876E1BE1939688A2C5/

And now for something completely different: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKcnRmQzVGeXprd1k/view?usp=sharing

Intermediate Lead - 89%, 76 streak I played it for you @Rod, it's not that difficult. Little RR on the single note part and it can be 95% in no time. End can be a little more troublesome, though. While the Morissette is quite annoying, surprisingly song is fun to play.

one try int lead... i might not be back here this week.... i d k http://i59.tinypic.com/5uqveh.jpg

Oh - sketchy internet connection so forgive me for not getting back sooner... I played Big Gun again. It was even worse than my first attempt. I still think this is the most difficult bass song - but then we're all different, and some do better at some things than others. I'm just shit at most bass related things… lol /as you were.

That was quick, thank you! I don't know how legit me submitting a score for that the karaoke version would be but I don't mind if it's not :) I just like the bass line and and even as a 20 year old song it's still pretty popular for girls to angrily do the "pointy fingers" dance at their bewildered boyfriends in some of the clubs here so it's worth a learn :) much appreciate your hard work and time putting that together @@albatross213 :) cheers again!

Mostly finished up the karaoke version of You Oughta Know this morning. Found a better audio version where the bass audio at least very closely aligns with what's tabbed. For whatever reason the slides at the end of the second chorus didn't survive the "CDLC 2 Tab" and "Import Guitar Pro" process, and my attempt to fix it created an abominable mess. I guess I can also go back to the GP file to try and fit it, but if any can let me know how to fix things like that inside of EoF that would be great. In the meantime, I guess it should only be a missed note or two. Another thing I'm not sure about is the unpitched slides. They seem to work as they are, but they tend to go one fret (the default, I gather) and not end up anywhere near the target fret. Basically I just don't know how to work slides at all inside of EoF (or I guess how to do the necessary things in Guitar Pro for unpitched slides). @@NoonyDeloony - it's definitely not perfect yet as discussed above, but it should be 99.5% playable.

does any guys from MC lead think it sounds a little bit wrong spotwise? Maybe I'm the only one, and I just tried a bit RR until the first solo, but there are any passages I really not agree with the tab. But for sure there are any notes, i.e first chorus, alway first the chord is just a half step too low, sounds just wrong, second chorus are no chords, just penta riffs and at one spot it should be shifted 2 frets but it doesn't, sounds so wrong. Other parts are just not playable with the shown technics. I cannot do a quick bend whole step with my inex finger, instead I play a hammer on there, sounds better and is good playable. Really nobody noticed this? But I don't want to complain on this song again...

The bass line for Munich seems to go out of sync a bit in the middle of the song. Anybody else notice this, maybe I need to calibrate my fingers again?

@@then3verend - In totally unrelated news, I am a late convert to the church of Big Gun. The one true MC bass song :P http://i.imgur.com/nyGWKjG.jpg But really, I was very close to 100% on the Alanis Morissette yesterday, and it's definitely something I can do. I guess I can try to out-rhythm people for the title (or at least a podium position). In other news, I'm going to the Mastodon and Clutch show in NYC tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too wet! I also saw there were a few CDLC songs for Graveyard, so I'll check those out. Edit: @@supername - with the songs last week, I think there was an issue to some extent with the note recognition on the advanced song for some of the bends on the high frets. It was discussed to some extent in the thread, but I forget exactly what the solutions were. Anyways, it seems RS has an issue where even if the intonation of the instrument is good notes on high frets can get read a few 10s of cents higher than they should, which can cause recognition problems.

Welcome aboard! Looks like you perfectly found your class already ;) I'm not sure yet, i just got back from work and this was my first try on Cities On Flame (btw the riff is AWESOME): http://i59.tinypic.com/2iarhxt.png I'm gonna try both of them a few more times to see how much i can better the accuracy today . also, i think i'm gonna try the master and advanced from last week to have a better idea of the difficulty

@@supername In the beginning you get to choose the level you get to compete into based on what you feel like your skill level is. If you think Advanced isnt too easy but isnt too hard then I would post those screenshots :) Welcome and enjoy To The people on bass, I had a dream last night, that I was playing on stage (the song was master of puppets) But I saw it as an omen, so I woke up, and did this my first try http://s7.postimg.org/c51t0gh4b/2015_05_18_00002.jpg

alright, so this is my first time participating in this and i didn't figure out all the rules yet, but here's my first attempt at doing Big Gun (difficulty set at maximum and on learn a song cause i wasn't sure about getting through the solo). I'm gonna try to get that number higher this week :) http://i57.tinypic.com/ri7u6a.png so the one thing that's not clear to me is: who gets to decide (and how) which level i should compete into? should i send screenshots of all the songs or just the class i want to participate/get sent to? thanks in advance. btw, awesome idea. Thanks to the guys who decided to do this.

I remember when i first heard this song in Fifa Street 2, and i really loved it, good old times :D http://i.imgur.com/U1jExDH.jpgAnd rest in peace B.B. King! http://i.imgur.com/N70LYp0.jpg

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.

Had an epic run on one of my regular songs, so I decided to try once more: glad I did...I can definitely tell that I've improved vastly over the last two weeks http://s10.postimg.org/umbyoon89/2015_05_19_00004.jpg

I definitely got it, it's about 3 bars and now on 9-11 fret, then it goes up to 17 what is right.

@@MaZtoR Same feels, i have not enough skill for learn this solo in one week. For my half of the song it is awful sounds with my play, and i not see any way improve it. So i`m gonna spend all my time at a great song by B.B. King.

@@supername Welcome! MasterClass is serious business, so choose wisely :)

http://i.imgur.com/KfErRkr.png http://i.imgur.com/pmoVVzj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xAOXP9O.jpg Big gun is a fun song but it is pretty easy. BOC vs. You Oughta Know, honestly they're very close skill wise overall. BOC is fast and a bit tricky in spots because of it, but the main riff never deviates and fingering/hand position is pretty easy. You Oughta Know has more techniques needed; mutes, slides, string skipping, a rogue pop.. etc. but the chorus is far easier. I'd give the MC to You Oughta Know by a hair, it's takes more practice to make it sound good... it's tougher for me anyway

Okay, so tomorrows word of the day is consistency... I cannot brain right now...This song is not Delivery....its not Digiorno...its Distruggle http://s30.postimg.org/pt2jtkvq9/2015_05_18_00001.jpg

Edit: well now I think I'm just going crazy or something, because Its recognizing notes now on Cities on Flame.... So basically I was playing Cities on Flame trying to get the 100% and I was consistently missing the same note over and over and over, Idk how or why, It aggravated and pissed me off. Any explanations would be great http://s24.postimg.org/y6rfsvg3p/2015_05_17_00006.jpg Definitely nothing wrong with the user or the bass

Wellllll, time to get started on this week. With guitars on lead, there seems to be some weird intermittent volume fluctuations in the signal. I tried different cables and guitars.
