Just to give you an impression of what a non-Masterclass player can achieve in "Deadhead" :) My MasterMode scores: Advanced Lead: 98.34 %, Score: 1,875,607 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=460573924 Masterclass Rhythm: 98.55 %, Score: 1,543,474 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=460573385 If you feel like the bass could be improved at any point, just tell me. But I agree it is not very complex. Nevertheless, the bass here is important... I once recorded all three parts and only the bass made it somewhat complete (especially without drums :) ) |: DUM dum dum dum dum DUM dum dum DUM dum DUM DUM dum DUM dum dum dum :| :wub:

A lot missed notes of detection issue, and boring long bass line. Final score: http://i.imgur.com/gQXHmchl.jpg

Yet one score, can`t improve it today, a few hours with this one killed my muscle at the fret hand :) it's a pity, that started practice very late, cool fun bass line. Stayed in collection. http://i.imgur.com/CwPl03Hl.jpg

first MC Rhm attempt, a real easy one http://up.picr.de/22230135rw.jpg

I got new strings and I derped on a note near the end...so to beat me is to get a 100% or a later derp in the song... I need to get ice back into my veins http://s17.postimg.org/6yx80xfgf/2015_06_13_00004.jpg

Advanced Rhythm - 87%, 150 streak MasterClass Rhythm - 86%, 76 streak It hurts. MasterClass Bass - 94%, 153 streak My middle finger has swollen (english is easy, english is cool, you're teaching me and I'm teaching you! :lol: hehe, this polish joke songs), so I had to do crime and play it with pick. But I'll try it again.

Very good with tomato!!! :P

fck...my bass string broke...welp....I was going for 100%...guess it can wait http://s13.postimg.org/708rqkudj/2015_06_13_00002.jpg

Watched film and practice some part of phrases and transients of a song, then tried to play, and there may be last update: http://i.imgur.com/KVjirs1l.jpg

http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150613/hk6dov2v.jpg http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150613/bvhb8oet.jpg That wasnt my first try. :)

I've left myself way too much to do this Saturday: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKc2JZRUZiZFBTWXc/view?usp=sharing Ah, well - at least I hit my personal goal (>90% and not getting thrown out of score attack). Back to my futile attempts at producing some ABBA cdlc for a while I think. It'll give my fingers time to cool down...

Thought about saving this for late Saturday morning, but decided not to be an asshole. Probably won't be good enough to last, but it's good enough for the lead right now. And at the very least, the streak will be pretty tough to beat without acing the tapping. http://i.imgur.com/Rzs2gJJ.jpg Video:

Released Released Anime/J-Rock WIP (Work In Progress/Un-Released) Gold (Released Section) = Favorites Light Blue (WIP Section) = Finished. Awaiting Testing/Tone Change

some songs i download have really weird/distorted tones when playing bass. For example, the song " i'll be there for you'' from FRIENDS, when i play, it sounds like im playing a guitar and the tone sounds like i am playing Jordan from buckethead lol. (also you can hear the actual bass of the song and it does not sound like that at all) please help and thanks in advance :) p.s. not all CDLC songs are like that just some. p.s.s. i read the comments on the download and no one complains about it.

Half of the song are just blues chords that i played a few times, hard as hell, but great to learn those chords http://i.imgur.com/eitXKC2.jpg

hope this grows on me. pixies not one of my favs. but always good the try new things. begin lead: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/688270348718072454/376200AC9DAB8BF31450F61D791325AA6B1B4058/

You obviously meant for Advanced lead...so I'll let that slide :P I'll get back to Rhythm, if necessary, and see how far I can push it :D Edit: Oh shit, I didn't know that... But this song isn't Masterclass, it is just the most difficult Rhythm path (isn't it? So this rule wouldn't apply?)

You obviously meant for Advanced lead...so I'll let that slide :P

@@blejusca I think it is mistake in chart, and anyway it ghost note, it makes no sense to play this one.

Was out of town for 2 weeks and missed the championships, but good songs this week! I was going to put in Goodnight Moon as a selection, lots of fun to play on all parts. I think it might have been slightly harder than the int bass but I guess it depends on what you're good at. Hopefully back with some time to play again! Dead End Friends was great too. http://i.imgur.com/Q8HTYf2l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Po4dYWsl.jpg

Congrats @@Mortalo ;)

I remember when Rocksmith 1 DLC was 75% off, those were the days!

Terry, Played - I feel fine. Sounds good. I had trouble keeping up with those chords. Makes you appreciate how those guys make it sound so easy. Aludog, Finally played Zappa - Uncle Remus. Cool solos. Charting looks really good. Enjoyed playing this one. Crossbolt, Going to play your songs now.

It's a showlights issue. If you have a pc, i would convert the cdlc on that. I've had this issue with a few songs and converted them with my pc and then they worked fine. I'm not sure if it's a mac toolkit issue or just a toolkit issue in general. Although, the latest toolkit build is working fine for me when converting cdlc's. It could be the customs themselves, you could ask the charter to convert them for you and see if that works. :D

@@RamboMadCow You can use that site for exemple to find out the scales/chord behind the chord progression that @@snowdog give to play along : http://www.scales-chords.com/chordscalefinder.php I did a little improvisation on Automn Breeze that you can find here : https://soundcloud.com/firekorn-1/jam-on-automn-breeze

Thanks @@albatross213, @@Gamut and @@Mortalo, I probably spend an hour a day in RR at about 80% speed trying to work the kinks out of the advanced bass track for the week. I try to get to the point of near zero misses before speeding it up in small steps. My difficulty is that the time limit forces me to step up to full speed before my skill level is ready. I'm afraid of reinforcing sloppy habits.

http://oi61.tinypic.com/5wxah4.jpg Highscore.. but screwed up the end :/

@@2groggy et. all: I think doing stuff above your skill level is a really critical part of improving. Not too far ahead, but just enough to spur on "a-ha!" moments. Getting better is all about playing the songs that are a notch or two above where you're at, and figuring out how to close the gap. Of course, there's nothing wrong with playing easy stuff for pleasure, I do that all the time too. But if you're bulking up at the gym, you don't get bigger by doing the same amount every day - the majority of your practice time should be spent pushing your limits.

This Was My Life is not that difficult. Solo is simple, and chorus is not that bad either. In comparison I felt that Dead End HappyTree Friends is way above my skills and I won't be able to tackle it. @@2groggy Just like albatross said, go to RR and play it at slower speed. Build it up, maybe you'll reach moment when it's too fast to you, then you'll knew that it's moment to try something else. You can possibly play anything at correct slow speed. But as Motive said, it can be boring to do so, and will take more time then play few songs on your level. Here in Championship we try to push you, thus we're trying to level you up soon, bu we understand that it can be of high value to try easier songs, as everytime you play, you improve.

Dead End Friends on bass is up to 85% but still feels like a random note generator on the last third. I decided to try something easier just for fun and got over 98% on Goodnight Moon bass on my 2nd and 3rd attempts. I've got a sinking feeling that working on songs that are too far over my head does more harm than good because I can't learn them and build up my speed in one week, so I make do with sloppy as long as I get a valid score.

A bit harder than last week. http://oi58.tinypic.com/11brbdt.jpg

First scores: Dead End Friends Bass Love John on the Bass, alway great Set the WOrld on Fire Bass This is, like Addicted to that Rush, way beyond my skills. This run was with a pick, so i sort of cheated. Got like 80% with my fingers. cheers

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

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

And here's number 2, this second one is actually the first one I started writing and the second one I ended up finishing. This one's called Manhattan and is a laid back jazz/funk song. Here's the chord progressions: http://i.imgur.com/xVNRjpZ.jpg Hope you enjoy them, please feel free to add your own jam tracks to this thead - the more the merrier!!! :) :D

Just want to say that ignition is still in beta and update will come and your feedback are taken into account. Just a little of patience and everythings will get better!

This is a practice track for the 12 Bar Blues and it's variations as described in it's Wikipedia page in the keys of C, E, and G. The backing track is a drum-only loop of the 12 Bar Blues example found here. There is a number of sections each representing a variation. in order they are: [*]Standard [*]Shuffle [*]Quick Change [*]Sevenths [*]Basic Jazz Blues Progression [*]Bebop [*]Minor (with 7ths) Standard, Shuffle, and Quick Change are easy and play quite nice together (and so does Sevenths.) Sevenths, and Minor are a little more challenging. Jazz and Bebop are full of chords most other styles of music never use and are full of unusual chords... some you don't even play as chord because they sound horrible, you play them as arpeggios. Each section has 3 phrases each 4 measures (bars) long. So every section is a self-contained 12 Bar Blues progression on it's own, and they mostly play nice going one into the other. The guitar is all chords, 1 every measure or change. You can play anything you want in between: keep strumming, tiny little fills, mix and match. The bass is just the tonic but with a hand-shape (like an arpeggio) for the current chord at every measure or change. Same deal as the guitar just hit your designated note at the right time all the in-between are up for grabs. If you know a little music theory you will notice C, E, G for the C Major chord. That's to say if C is the Root/Tonic, E is III, and G is V. As long as you keep C as the overall tone you don't have to play all sections in the same difficulty. For example you play the first 4 sections as C, C, G, C making it a simple AABA type song. While testing I found that I felt into trance mode and stop paying attention so I threw in different hand positions to try and keep it more interesting. Bassist don't have that in E or G, as I got tired of looking up different fingerings. Alright, I would like feed-back of what works and what doesn't as far as a practice track goes. Depending on how it goes I may add the other keys. Links: PC (The Only One Tested) Mac Xbox360 PS3 Hope it is alright to post this here.
