Hey guys! DP here. Id just like to say im going to start making lesson CDLC's (different from the current ones made). Possibly one every one or two days. I hope this works for you guys, I feel this sections been dead for a bit since ive been here so im going to try to jump start it! Im in the midst of creating my first lesson CDLC. Note that the dlc i'm going to be making will have no sound in the background so you will hear only your guitar, There will be Dynamic difficulty aswell. The DLC will be below, Ill post the first soon! :) Customs: Speed And Independence Alternate Picking to Solo Heavy Metal Guitar School Part 1 (honestly really amazing practice DLC) The Blues Scale! Spider Exercise

@@tupoloflyer sorry, we forgot + :gift: and of course @@Blazikiller :birthday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS

@ I just need someone to test the guitar part, not transcribe it. I used my Taste songbook to get the guitar tab and the transcription was extremely accurate although I still had to make quite a few corrections to get the rhythm on some parts right. @@manchot66 A more accurate translation for drums would be "Schlagzeug"; "Schlaginstrumente" would mean something like percussion or percussive instruments. :D

Happy birthday @@Blazikiller. And late happy birthday for @@tupoloflyer as well :)

Up now.

Cable probably isn't configured properly. I think if you head to /Steam/steamapps/common/Rocksmith 2014 you'll find a pdf with instructions on how to configure the cable correctly. edit: also check this page http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/802854-Rocksmith-2014-PC-Configuration-and-FAQ-Forums Anyway, is there anything better than a lazy rainy Sunday of guitar playing ? Possibly the fact that tomorrows a bank holiday and I get to do it all over again :) Some results for the day - Beg. Rhythm and Lead : http://i58.tinypic.com/jsbqf5.png http://i57.tinypic.com/2hwo4l5.png Quite a difficult beginner song in my opinion, but fun non the less. Int Rhythm and Lead: http://i62.tinypic.com/13z311h.png Urgh, note detection hell with this one. http://i62.tinypic.com/jl064m.png Work in progess, solo is very cool though.

Thankfully, English is quite an easy language to learn, at least in comparison to other languages. I've learnt French and Russian in school as well but I wouldn't be able to write or even talk fluently in any of those languages. I can read and understand them at a basic level but that's about it. The only language I have an advanced level in is English and that's because it's so omni present in every medium and just by reading and listening to it, I've radically improved my vocabulary and grammar skills. My conversational skills are definitely lacking though because I rarely talk in English. Regarding higher education: University in Austria is mostly free (at least for now) but the state isn't providing enough money to counter balance the university's upkeep and pay for the professors which is becoming increasingly problematic. Educational standard is still relatively high, I'd say, but the university of Vienna isn't ranked very high internationally. Other institutes of higher education usually have fees but they are not extremely high and they have a stricter curriculum, trying to educate you for specific job purposes. They are a good option if you know exactly what you want to do and can afford it but you definitely need to do it full time and you won't have as much options later on.

Since every CDLC here uses Cherub Rock for the app id, it might be worth it just to buy that. When you have to convert every single custom song over to Cherub Rock's ID, you might start regretting your decision. It'd personally be worth it to me to spend the small amount of extra money on Cherub Rock, but that's just me. I can't imagine having to convert every single CDLC I've played being worth saving a dollar or two.

@@Aludog I'm always impressed with how well you guys use English. When we learn a second language in school here, we could never be fluent in conversation. The best we could do is make an ass of ourselves trying to speak a native language while on vacation. Kudos to you guys and a quite obviously superior education system. Sorry to get off topic but is college/university free in Austria? College costs here are so high students have to go into big debt just to get a degree.

@@jbroch Thanks, just found same one. Looks pretty good, but you never know til you get into it.

@@jbroch Found what seems to be a decent GP tab for Amadeus. Maybe I could make it a little more guitar heavy with some nice loud distortion. Listening to this song makes me want to bang on some schlaginstrumente (new word I just learned from the tab). That would make me a schlagzeuger. Sorry, I'm easily entertained by Google Translate.

@@missis sumner - if you mouse over the very bottom of the post, the edit and quote links may appear. I've seen that on different browsers. Regrading the failed drop height laptop ruggedness test, we need an [i feel your pain] button, because [like this] just isn't right. And I have a dodgy RS cable. I'll try putting a new end on it some day. (pretend that i selected [like this] in your post)

Hello all ! I play electric guitar (only) I live In Poland so my english isn't good. I listening J-Rock some like 6 years (when I was 10) My first j-rock group was a "Sadie" then I find a group "Mejibray" And I'm listening they song's all time :) My fav.guitar players: -Takayoshi Ohmura, -Leda Deluhi, -Sugizo -Mia Mejibray. I'm also listening a group from Taiwan "Chthonic" Anyway check my first CDLC it's Mejibray-Messiah :) Cya.

Weird - where's the quote button gone? It's probably there somewhere but I'm using a differnet brower for reasons that will become apparent... So after karting on Friday evening I drove over to my mum's for cat sitting duties, and as I was getting my bag out of the car, I managed to drop it quite heavily on the floor. And you've guessed it - that was the bag with my laptop in. I now have a nice big dent in my Macbook Air, and a non-charging charger - which somehow managed to get bent at the connector end during the accident. So I didn't manage to play yesterday, which I'm gutted about, and I'm on a borrowed laptop, but hopefully by Tuesday, I'll be back... Anyway - RS cables - lovely things they are. Of the two I have, both have failed at the jack end. @@Nacholede, if you lop off the jack (about an inch up the cable should do it) and solder a new jack on, you'll probably solve your issue. :)

Soooo, i couldn't stop playing and here's my final score. http://i57.tinypic.com/2lucnjl.jpg

Well, uh, now you have an explanation for why things weren't working last week! May you find a new cable swiftly and cheaply. RS cables here in Argentina are really REALLY expensive, and i don't have money hahaha I'll see what i can do, i will try to make this thing work

I had my first passes on bass for this week Forever Muffin Man Monsters I'll be traveling for part of the week and will limit my self to one of these. Monsters seems to be the most fun. Hmmm, now I do have a travel guitar that will fit in overhead storage.... I's still trying to decide if I'll have time to even touch it.

There are tons of youtube channels that focus on guitar and bass lessons. You could probably get in touch with at least one of them to get tabs and backing tracks to build customs from (if they don't already provide those resources in the video descriptions). Rather than having to sit down and design a curriculum from scratch, you could make a set of customs to augment a specific youtube channel that's already released a bunch of structured lessons. And when I say "you", I mean in the general sense -- whoever might be interested in such a project. I'm not trying to force the idea on @@Laro or @DeadlyPower ;) I'd be really cool if we could make custom lessons (with videos and all that), but I'm not sure anyone's looked into modifying the etudes.psarc file (I assume lessons are all stored in there). It's probably not too different from normal dlc packs, but messing with that may just be outside the scope of things the toolkit devs want to work on. The game may not even be setup to parse additional lessons beyond what it was shipped with, which would explain why there haven't been any official lesson expansions.

I hate when he says "Top Notch Performance!" and you're like ".... I sucked." Still shoulder recovery, so still beginner and still sucking. At least I can play now though ;) Bass - Beginner Haim Forever - 87% - http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/631980045784256358/C108CC1DE395A487057E94534244A1EEA15F9904/

For those who, i'm looking at you @Nacholede, Ghost Absolution will be up today at some point. For next weeks pack(s), i'll be doing a "classic" rock 3 pack and maybe another Foos pack or a QotSA 3 pack. :D

My score for Muffin Man http://i.imgur.com/8gORAdz.jpg The bass part is fun to play, but there are definitely some issues. For one, the sync is pretty far off in places. It could just be inaccurate rhythms in the tab too, since the sync is fine elsewhere and I've no idea how the guitar tracks look as far as sync goes. Another issue, maybe more of a personal preference, is that all (or almost all) the variations that follow the main riff should be played from the 4th fret position. Rather than playing the main riff sometimes from 1st fet, sometimes from 2nd, it would make more sense and feel more natural to always play it from the 2nd fret, and then shift to play the riff that varies each repetition. As it is now, it's just really inconsistent and awkward to play. I think most of the difficulty stems from this, otherwise I'd say it's not much harder than last week's intermediate track. Also, the 90 seconds of story time to start every run gets annoying pretty quick :lol: I can skip it in RR obviously, but I'm not sure I have the patience to try improving my results in score attack very much this week.

Thanks, I've fixed this. It looks like it would only happen if the base chord in an arpeggio/handshape had more than one non ghosted gem. As far as "previous_save" being appended during each save, this would probably only happen if you are opening the previous_save backup each time you load your project (meaning you are editing an old version of the project). The next hotfix changes the file extension of project backup saves, so it will be hard for people to do this on accident.

Here in Argentina the cables are above 600 pesos (more or less like 55 dollars), they are way too expensive! But i'll see if i can fix this one No harm in trying. :) And thank you for giving me tips to fix the cable :D If you're not sure which way around to solder the wires, there are a few guides on Youtube. PM if you need any other advice and I'll try to help, but it is an easy job - I managed it! I got this, don't worry! in a few days i will solder the wires and...i'll be back

I'm not sure I can be bothered with all this Windows malarkey - I'm off to buy a new Macbook, or at least a new connector to solder onto the end of my charger lead. Playing on this machine (admittedly, not an i7, it's a P6000, I think) is buggy and laggy as hell. Sometimes the notes stop scrolling half way through, but the song continues - it's better than Master Mode though! lol

If you check the steam store page for games, it should list which platforms are supported (see here). Rocksmith won't run on linux, but there are a fair number on steam that will, represented by the SteamOS logo (Kerbal Space Program for example).

I'll do it :D

@@Aludog, I missunderstood this... if I find the time tonight I will give it a try I'm also a Schlagzeuger, but if there were a option in RS to play drums I would practice more often with my set

That's weird - it should "only" have been unlisted. Perhaps it happened because I grabbed the link while it was still uploading? Either way, it's public and should be viewable now. Trying to embed it below.

Muffin Man thats a tough one

fuck, that sucks @Nacho! those cables are indeed way too expensive, i had a cable scare a few months past, and i was shocked how expensive and hard to get them it is (only via online shopping accesible and usually 30+€)

@@Aludog - I'll work with Bavarezkrd while I get up to speed. He's sent me links to the files you mentioned and given me some tips and ideas of what he needs from me. If I run into any problems, I will shout!

@@Aludog - If you like, you could simply make a GP file for Sea and Sand's bass part. That way I can just import it into my project. I should have the guitar parts finished on Monday, I think :) However, if you'd prefer another method of collaboration, that's no problem either.

Well, uh, now you have an explanation for why things weren't working last week! May you find a new cable swiftly and cheaply.

@@Skyy22 - In addition to intonation problems (which hopefully aren't that serious if they checked the setup), it's possible that you're fretting the strings too hard or bending them somewhat as you fret, both of which are pretty common problems for beginners. Sometimes I've had problems with how Rocksmith detects notes on high frets even when my intonation is on point based on a real world tuner, and in that case it usually helps improve note detection by tuning somewhat flat (~10 cents, or even a bit more once you get past the tuning screen) in game. I've had to do this on a couple of songs that we've had in the Championship several weeks back.

That thing's a beast! I even had trouble getting the hang of some of the parts that repeat a short phrase several times. I'll try to give it a closer look/listen soon, but things seemed quite good!

Jerry blows up minefields with his bare fists.

Hey guys, I need some testing on Taste - It's Happened Before, It'll Happen Again (L,B,V). This isn't an easy one though, so don't go hurt yourself. :D And you Jerry, stay away from this one until your healed up or I guarantee you'll worsen your condition. This is a fucking difficult bass line, a jazzy walking bass line but not like a walk in the park, rather a walk through a minefield.

haha, don't worry, if you don't like :P now you have also :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :yum: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: or :fu: didn't see this? One of these things is not like the others

I'm not a huge fan of reggae and no lead beginner this week either so not too much to play. Just giving this one shot for bass since this is also on rhythm and >80% so will take it. On to next week! http://i.imgur.com/UuKQxUGl.jpg

@@Psymanski You can't expect to score 100% and stay in your class :lol: We punish too good people throwing them on deeper waters :)

My results for this awesome week: Advanced Lead: 96.25 % This was the only try without a strike... this solo is still far beyond in time (or something like that) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=492099866 Intermediate Rhythm: 99.92 % I tried to compensate my lack of solo skill with trying to 100% the Rhythm part, but after many fails and two runs with only one miss... the time has come to give up, for now. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=492100186 Advanced Bass: 99.85 % And some Bass :-) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=492099770
