Hi all, Please enter me into the BEGINNER CLASS. I typically atempt Lead only due to very limited time but it is fair to say I am BEGINNEER on all arrangements... except maybe I am an INTERMEDIATE on Violin... :) As I stated earlier, I wish to learn and see how well I could manage playing Iron Maiden's Infinite Dreams. So I will submit scores for this song this week as much as I could, even though it won't count since it is not my class. First attempt, coming in cold - only way to go is up. http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad41/Berneer/CustomsForge%20Championship/Week%2088%20-%20Ending%2003July2015/CF%20-%20Week%2088%20-%20Iron%20Maiden%20-%20Infinite%20Dreams%20-%20Lead%20-%20Attempt%201_zps0fj9dhux.png

here comes my first score for one with much space for improvement. With this song I dedicated my new guitar which yesterday the postman brought :) rather I own enough guitars, but since my son bought his own steam key for RS 2014 and I gave him one of my guitars (my old Ibanez Talman), I needed another and cheap one for education because I don't want to give one of my expesives to everyone. And finally I've got a guitar with 24 frets now :D http://up.picr.de/22379608mc.jpg new axe

Maybe I'll recognize it with the guitar in the mix. :lol:

4 songs (rarely there is more, only on special days). And I'm the all-father since week 41, and the ancient ones were running it for RS2012 back on Anvil. PS. I'm working at home, so making 5 min break to update leaderboard every couple of hours is not that porblematic :P But seriously, it wouldn't be possible if all three of us didn't work hard. You can think of me as a coach. Always about current week, and on friday moving on to the next, not thinking back. The man behind the scenes is @. The General Manager. He's the one who pushes Championship forward. And he's always there to help with ratings. And he's everytime right (unless he's wrong :P ). And @@Rodman, playing with his Rankings and helping whenever he can. I wouldn't be able to run it without them. It look's like Kill Bill Vol. 2 makes people make long posts. Grave of the Fireflies by Studio Ghibli. It's anime, but it's also the saddest movie I ever saw. Unless you want your kids to see you cry, don't watch it with them :P

Thanks for tbhe warm welcome everyone! Always more motivating to play in a championship! A little RR does a lot of good in a short time... Not sure if you frown upon posting incremental imporovements but given I never know if I'll have more time to play I guess I'll post. http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad41/Berneer/CustomsForge%20Championship/Week%2088%20-%20Ending%2003July2015/CF%20-%20Week%2088%20-%20Iron%20Maiden%20-%20Infinite%20Dreams%20-%20Lead%20-%20Attempt%202_zpshmyf9knr.png

Now yes, the first try with my version :D http://i.imgur.com/by7gVkR.jpg

This song is really though on the pinky. My poor finger is burning from just 2 runs. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Infinite%20Dreams%2091_zpsgw0ucvhy.jpg

I've got a working Toolkit, yay! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKUVl0SXNudWZnWk0/view?usp=sharing

First run on Adv Bass, 97%, 656 streak http://i59.tinypic.com/2j0gwoo.jpg

I'd forgotten about Fields of Gold. I had downloaded it months ago, played it twice, and then deleted it to make room. It took 3 times through but got the 100% that I wanted last week ;-) Yes, this is a far simpler song to play, but I believe that musicians sound better if they can master a simple song rather than butcher a difficult one

Early runs http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/442825514587110609/53F8A1BA8D90EC44A8C7F762D3DECD01E13FA674/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/442825514587110824/F9897A8F05757AD6D62B8C2165E39F187B2D7DC4/

Solo almost kicked me :ph34r: http://i.imgur.com/zqfFU2gl.jpg

In case you haven't heard yet, Chris Squire of Yes passed away today :(. Everyone go play your favorite Yes song.

More bass runs: http://s2.postimg.org/5ia6lb2nt/2015_06_28_00001.jpg I was surprised how much I enjoyed this tune, great pick...2 on difficulty http://s30.postimg.org/jd0cd9s29/2015_06_28_00002.jpg This little guy was actually very surprisingly tricky(at midnight after working all day) another decent song (5 on difficulty) http://s3.postimg.org/xcx5mireb/2015_06_28_00003.jpg The Bass does need SOME re-work done on the chart, its about 95% accurate (mostly within the verses and near the end @@Nacholede, if you want I can put it in the record too with screenshots). 4 on difficulty if you play with a pick, 7 if you dont (Jason did play with a pick, but Rob doesnt.......) G'night yall

I played this one a long time ago with the older version http://i.imgur.com/ANEpIWl.jpg

http://i60.tinypic.com/2ue2v49.jpg :( good night

then there are two options 1. play it on bass or emulate 2. just chart the guitar and make a new version :) Will do :D

@@Aludog So will wait, one day. @@Nacholede So we need only bass, Chris Squire was bass player. usually i unlike Iron Maiden (enough in the past :) ), but this a song very good, like to play. Look like RR at solo must have, updated score: http://i.imgur.com/pBJ2YDMl.jpg

Tomorrow there'll probably be a new one, although from his solo album "Fish Out Of Water". Just finished transcribing it. :)

Wow wow wow... :blink: What a track this beginner's song... 80% on first try, but I'm not sure how I can improve... :D :D :D This is definitely a surprise, almost an "beginner intermediate" song :P EDIT: re-wow, I got awards????? thanks a lot :wub:

Here's how I did on the phrases for my latest attempt Infinite Dreams on bass: http://i.imgur.com/yVTUoXf.jpg And here's how I did scorewise: http://i.imgur.com/BkKkhE4.jpg Not as good as my previous, but not bad for master mode, eh? I do have a small update for playing it on hard, though, in case anyone threatens to catch up to me: http://i.imgur.com/y3P6uh6.jpg I don't think today's the day I'm going to hit 100%. Too tired and consequently pretty sloppy. I've had RR attempts on the sections and been able to nail each type, but there are just too many takes that wind up with 3-5 misses. Hopefully I'll sleep well tonight. Though I don't really have a bed here anymore...

One on bass. The first half seems a little random to me, partly because I've never heard the song before The second half is one of those avalanches of sixteenth notes that causes the high scores and long streaks on bass even when my timing is messed up.

Alright i think i kinda understood almost everything. @@Mortalo But seriously 88 Weeks and every week are about 2-6 Songs or even more... That's rough. I mean you surely got a whole lot to do, rating songs from beginner-master, cheking you've got everybody listed for the rating, managing all the peole who're posting alle the results and still being active in the forum and probably a whole lot more. That's actually impressive. I mean seriously 88 weeks.... 88 ! Anyways @@Mortalo and the other Guys who're probably helping out and stuff, which i don't know yet. Thank you guys for this chance [emoji4]

Hey Guys, Just in Case, i'm sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask some questions.. probably. I'll make it quick. :) 1. Every Week Mortalo will open a new rs14 championship thread for every next week. And all we have to do is to post a Screen with the results from LAS or Score Attack after playin the Song we've been given for this week and so on. Is that right ? (my english is kinda bad, sorry about that, i'll try my best tho). Let's say there's a song which i can play better at Advanced Lead and next week Intermediate Rhythm. Can i change which suits me better every week and post my results that way ? So that i can change my class and guitar arrangement ? First i didn't want to join, because well i was actually scared it would be a classic who's the best championship. But after reading the rules and all the other things. I kinda want to join and have some fun and maybe learn some tricks how to get play things right and cleaner. I'm looking forward to learn and compete with you guys [emoji1] ~Yinx (in game name)

Well, you'll have to... Or i could just play completely outta my frickin mind http://s10.postimg.org/vrqvnw1k9/2015_06_27_00009.jpg Brb...having a heart attack and a stroke at the same time

First scores and reviews:http://s28.postimg.org/l7vsnn471/2015_06_27_00004.jpg Yay, after a nice week off...I get my butt kicked by the bass-ics...I should be able to break about 99% on this 9 on difficulty http://s27.postimg.org/f4tued62r/2015_06_27_00006.jpg Well...its THE one...winner will be determined who can do the breaks in the first half and who can do the harmony near the end...(9 on difficulty) http://s30.postimg.org/4wchgpk5t/2015_06_27_00005.jpg I'm probably one of the few people that know the solo by heart...If i can just learn the rest of the song now xD 96% should be possible and is my goal 10 on the difficulty

hehe, really not bad my new guitar :D and update http://up.picr.de/22386366bs.jpg

We should play Roundabout, but is only for bass D:

so many new people! Welcome all :D

I'd imagine he's doing that so he can hear the bass part clearly while he's playing along with it. Probably not necessary for the fast part of the song, but it might help for the softer part of the song. I remember @then3everend also used the noguitar version of 21st Century Schizoid man a few times when we had that battle. That or he just really wanted to know what the bass on ...And Justice for All actually sounds like :P Let's pretend that this is the real reason.

I'm not familiar with this song, but i like it and its fun to play. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Infinite%20Dreams%2085_zps6cgbzjuv.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Infinite%20Dreams%20Rhythm%2091_zps8ep6w5ob.jpg

Newsted played it with fingers and then changed to pick when the fast part came :P There is a gap when you can reach for it. I'll do it that way. @@Nacholede I need you to play your version to count your scores :P (They differ in length, so I can tell ;) )

check up my definition back here of what a good cDLC is to result in good playability. You may add your criteria. For now, my best criteria for downloading are the following : 1. Magna Charter's, with whom I've had a constructive exchange. 2. Rate of releases : there is no way to release 10 cDLC every week, and certainly not for beginners 3. A version 1.01 to 3.0 which means the charter cares about updates 4. A version 1.00 with no comments No news = good news = at least a decent cDLC. :D

http://i59.tinypic.com/291dlq1.jpg yeeeeeeeeeeess!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Well, you'll have to... http://i.imgur.com/85lhsl3.jpg The usual software I use for recording seems to not be working, so I tried Bandicam. Interestingly, it seems to cause in-game lag but output silky smooth video, whereas the other one was the opposite. Anyway, video will be up soon, though I might try another take for a video later. I also think somewhat fewer misses will be possible, though I still don't think I'll get down below 3 misses or so as it's really hard to nail everything in one playthrough. Edit: Video I'm blaming Bandicam lag for all the places where my rhythm was terrible :P

Father's Day present - got the Zoom B3 which I'm loving so far. If anybody has any favorite settings let me know and I'll check them out.

I just added a new guitar to the herd ... its a Jackson DKM2 Eerie Dess.. they only made them for a couple of years, i was lucky enough to find one in pristine condition. http://i.imgur.com/Qk3dv5w.jpg I am also re-refinishing one of my ibanez 7 strings .. i got the body done last night .. here's what it looks like so far http://i.imgur.com/1af4rOB.jpg It has been upgraded with a hipshot bridge, gotoh tuners, and dimarzio crunchlab7 and Liquifire pickups. I have also added a push/pull tone pot that splits the coils of the pickups to give it a bit of brighter stratlike tone when i want it, and i installed a seymour duncan liberator pickup quick change system. so i can swap pickups in and out easier than changing strings :D

Just finished listening to Fish out of Water (for the nth time). Such sad news. I would love to play anything off that album I bought when it came out when I was 15.

Yeah. I just read it. A big loss for sure. :( And as if I knew this was coming, I just finished transcribing "Hold Out Your Hand/You By My Side" from his fantastic solo album "Fish Out Of Water". This can't be a coincidence.

Why are you playing the bass part with "no guitar"?

@@DevStereo You can play in different classes for different arrangements :) And 1 is right :)

Now you're, errr... not playing bass and going to bed? Me too… :D

Hi, You can add DD yourself with RSToolkit (DDC tab) and/or BPR tools. Just select the "psarc" file and apply DD. DD quality is depending on the CDLC quality ...

For now,, 4 . Ibanez Gio which will live in D Standard 11-56 strings. A Dean Evo which lives in E Standard or Drop D,, A Hohner G3T ( heavily modified including an EMG 89XR bridge pup and EMG SA X series mid and neck pups ) which I will be restringing and will live in Eb, And my new baby a Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid which will live in E Standard 10.5 gauge strings ( It is actually a pre-production guitar which is the only Black Cherry Red Hybrid I have seen ( Refer to word Prototype for further info ) ) Soon I intended to pass off the sub standard guitars,, but money is an issue.

30 at last count!
