http://i.imgur.com/jinrcAk.jpg This is coming along. Really fun song to play, lots of little fills make it really hard to keep streak up but slowly getting the knack of them all.

What a fun little song for a Sunday morning ! http://i57.tinypic.com/r0p3br.png http://i58.tinypic.com/14splc0.png

Finally feels that it is almost final version cdlc of Megadeth. I think 98% notes right, and something we will to find in during practice. There link to Updated version 2.2 - Megadeth - This was my life There yet changed notes in a few measures at chorus in lead. My score: http://i.imgur.com/qbX1QdQl.jpg

hey everyone B) http://s28.postimg.org/4r99vxbz1/rocksmith.jpg Not easy at all :huh: the int song this week requires some RR work ahah kind of fast so needs a lot practice :P http://s15.postimg.org/6vx6983h7/Rocksmith_rhythm.jpg And got 1 single miss on Beg ryth <_< not sure if I'll go for the 100% as I want to practice the Int Lead one :P

http://i.imgur.com/L9j86tC.jpg yayyyyy :D

I like Megadeth much more than other Crookeds, so yet one update: http://i.imgur.com/yr1nTNRl.jpg

Intermediate Lead - 93.6%, 156 streak I RR'ed to 85% speed this two single note sections (that repeat twice) and decided to give whole song a go. There is still room there, I think that I can nail them. Then it's the solo, I probably hit it well, but it most likely sounded like crab. Part after solo is tricky. I played rhythm as well, but that part when solo is on lead took me off guard. I was surprised that it did not crossed me there.

After staying at a rock festival the last 6 days drinking all day long. My body is not 100% operational. My fingers are stiff and my mind is slow. Fist thing played was this song that i have never heard before. It did not sound good. But i will keep working on it. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Dead%20end%20Friends%2072_zpsenjj8abb.jpg

Giving it a bash now, pretty tough going to be honest, but hopefully by the end of the week I'll get somewhere with it !

Okay right place :) This run made me sick http://s11.postimg.org/lszfulrxf/2015_06_07_00001.jpg I wondered how much that solo was killing me...literally a paste of lead without the solo http://s30.postimg.org/vdr0rqfk1/2015_06_07_00002.jpg

Sweet sweet prog http://i.imgur.com/POVgy7Q.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/46Y7rqOl.jpg Seems to me, this week will hard for intermediate, bcs of rate Megadeth between 6-7, and there one hard pattern-arpeggio, which who it learned that winner. RR+slow speed+patience way to the win. Good luck int players. :)

@@blejusca Well done! @@fiddlesticks Me may be willing to try Intermediate song. It's really difficult Int song, but not that scary :)

@@klaw - I don't have a guitar so I can't answer directly, but I imported the tones in the Toolkit and the guitar is at -25, which I would think should be reasonably audible. However, it is acoustic, and from what I've seen acoustic tones usually need to be boosted a few dB relative to distorted tones. In the meantime, you could try adjusting the Realtone cable gain or playing around with volume settings in the mixer to try and make yourself more audible. Anyway, I was practicing the tapping section on bass and breaking it down a little bit so I'd be able to do better in the future. In particular, I was practicing on the right hand taps and getting them at the right speed in the right place, so after the slide I took my left hand off the fretboard. However, I noticed something weird at the lower speeds, so I decided to accelerate to 100% to see if it still held. I mean, I totally get that detecting every note in a fast tapping passage is hard, but I should have ended up with at least 20 misses, not 5 (secondary pulloffs and slides, maybe?).

I make new version cdlc Megadeth - This Was My Life There new beatmap, original of hand position at chorus (look at live video), fixed solo at E string, no DD. There very helpful video cover (i tabbed thereof indexes of fingers for chorus parts), yet there solo version as it played Mustain at live, but in audio of cdlc, seems studio version and there is yet some notes (it right). Update. It is not final version, in lead soon will added a few changing, into part chorus.

Set the bar high http://s30.postimg.org/e08twfvb5/2015_06_06_00003.jpg And OMG HOW DID I PASS THIS FIRST TRY http://s24.postimg.org/4cio4tuhh/2015_06_06_00004.jpg

Yes, but you can simply import the .psarc in the toolkit, and either lower the volume of the song or raise the volume of the tone. I did the 2nd and it plays much better now. If you don't know how to do that, let me know and I'll post a link to the file with the tone volume higher. EDIT: Sorry @@albatross213, I didn't saw your post when I started making mine. The tone is very well made, but the volume is very low. I always play RS with the value of the song volume in the RS mixer at 50, so the sound of my guitar is +/- 2x louder than the volume of the song. My real-tone cable is set at 8.5dB. With this settings I noticed the tone was really low, so I can only imagine that with the volumes of the mixer all at 100 and a lower value for the real-tone cable, the tone on that song can't be heard at all. I gave +2dB to the tone and it was good to play with my settings, so for those who have a low value for the real-tone cable and play with the volume of the song at 100, the tone might need an extra 0.5dB-1.0dB.... ofc I don't have to mention that, when it comes to the volume of the tone, if you want more volume, you lower the setting of the tone volume on the toolkit (i.e.: from -25.0dB to -27.0dB, higher negative number=more volume and vice-versa.)

week 85. let's go! beg rhythm: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/713039330571417437/F57463CB2A21777919E695CC5964A363ABC56CB4/ beg lead: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/713039330571416938/E9F1131A6CF049CA99915610D04C557913CD17CB/

And of course I've gotta play my pick. I used to use this song to psyche myself up in the morning on the walk to high school. Most of it's really playable for me, but then the solo happens. http://i.imgur.com/fOvF2kH.jpg @ No worries dude, just beat me earlier next time so I can riposte! :D

It was not so easily to get 100% bcs of random miss at chords (very sensitive the pressure to strings at first frets). Nice tune, and cuty voice. Got same fillings like of Metric. :) http://i.imgur.com/JaaAGc1l.jpg @@Gamut Sorry, im used your advice and found good pattern for strumming and yet it was big luck, so how other runs was not so good. I promise if i found some helpful tricks in future, i tell it there.

Damn, I totally should have kept my Hazy Shade secrets to myself. :lol: Oh well! Well played Motive, song was tricky. Now this week's advanced is a lot more to my playing style. I love everything Josh Homme does. Used to play the hell out of this in my Rock Band days on the drums, now apparently I can play it pretty convincingly on the axe, too! http://i.imgur.com/YpRHK4g.jpg

Totally butchered the tapping, but otherwise pretty good. Real score was 1,538,081.http://i.imgur.com/O7iq6Lx.jpg

@@Aludog - did you want to be in the beginner class? From what I remember it was your first week and you entered scores in beginner, intermediate, and advanced so you can choose whichever of those you feel best fits your skill level (the advanced song was rated more as a harder intermediate than a true advanced song, though). Anyway, here's my first attempt with no RR or anything. http://i.imgur.com/y1s3rRA.jpgNot terribly difficult for the most part (especially by Symphony X standards - of the ones I've played I think only Dehumanized is easier), though I'll definitely need some practice on the fill leading into the first verse and the tapping section near one of the choruses, and I wouldn't expect to 100% it this one. Also, did I see pinch harmonics or something in that fill leading into the verse?

@@albatross213 You made a mistake...and now you're paying for it...man..I wanted you to win this too, you put me through all of my musical knowledge to achieve this level played this with Gb drop Fb tuning http://s12.postimg.org/dl5i6ti7x/2015_06_06_00002.jpg I wouldnt even be mad right now if you have a higher score saved up

@@Gamut thanks for tips, but your score so big http://i.imgur.com/uJ1gPhNs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gLfFJq4l.jpg

So I tried out one of these babies for a new pick... Safe to say...I liked it much more than my usual http://s8.postimg.org/qw0j0g8qd/2015_06_07_00005.jpg

I love the bass line on Rocky Diwali. My untrained ears don't hear any problems with the CDLC

Dead End Friends on bass = 83%. I can't do this song justice in RR at 80% speed let alone full speed.

need some intermediate work :huh: rhythm: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/713039707350572691/33CDE228D25EBDBFD00CF14E282381C3B79453FE/ lead: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/713039707350572346/74CEAA6BCEEC752C5A8726590B1401A0CD9173A2/

If this BS continues, I think I'm going to bow out of this week's competition. 16 misses throughout all of the song excepting the last chorus (starts at 4:30), and 24 misses in the last chorus (I;m pretty sure, based on the end percentage). And yes, I'm aware the last chorus is a half step up from the others. I find it hard to come up with an explanation that just randomly has RS deciding at the end (or even sometimes the middle) of a line of the same note repeating that I'm off somewhere else. Some of the other 16 misses also seemed pretty damn questionable (in my view 1:13, 1:25 [the first one with the blue 9 16th notes, not the slide down after], 3:00, 4:05, 5:02). I don't know if it's my strings, my cable (this crap's been happening on both of my basses, though much more this week than last), or what, but this is kind of ruining all of the fun of this. And yeah, I still suck pretty hard at fast legato. Edit: Also, I made sure to check my tuning right before this run. Not just for the open string, but also that the most commonly used frets in the song were within a few cents of on tune.

completely unneccesary, just select all phrases, level them up to max and then turn off level up

I can only speak for myself, but there were basically two components. 1) A ridiculous amount of practice. 2) Strong incentives to practice.

@@albatross213 @@then3verend c'mon guys , srly how can you reach those levels on orion, i mean guys you are so good... :)

Wrong thread yo. But good job.

I try to keep one or two, but I've been having a lot of trouble finding stuff to request lately(tab sucks, sync is bad, no rr, etc.)Lemme look again

I think there's some people who are already working on something like this over in this thread. Check it out if you haven't seen it already.

B) I was lucker with fucking arpeggio. http://i.imgur.com/iB2jShml.jpg

Never mind! This one's slightly better: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKNGZLX0pkWGRQR2c/view?usp=sharing Still trying - is there any time left?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKSVNhWG40Z19KYUk/view?usp=sharing :D

That's a good score. I've played it 30 odd times and still haven't got the 100%. It's not an easy song.

Int Bass, 99%, 179 streak I think I could definitely make some more improvement, however it's starting to hurt my hand after 3 plays so I'll call this my last for this weeks entries :) http://i58.tinypic.com/1z3z86w.jpg

@@Nacholede, this one is close http://up.picr.de/22151165cf.jpg

a good score on the grooveguys :) http://i59.tinypic.com/35hlevm.jpg

better :) i hope there is time left later for one more ;) http://i61.tinypic.com/1zns5zl.jpg
