hehe, I rather don't like Elvis very much, but I like to play it :blush: the only difficulty here is to get that C-shape chords quickly at the transitions. One time one string of them is bended http://up.picr.de/23175198lj.jpg here in the outro its getting a bit ballaballa http://up.picr.de/23175203mp.jpg http://up.picr.de/23175204bb.jpg

My guitar was constantly going out of tuning, so it was a bit harder to play, but here are my scores :D http://i.imgur.com/4aa2sLR.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/O6iOh3L.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/jYkVc0j.jpg

These are all first plays, no RR or playthrough in LAS, bit busy and about to go to bed but here's the fresh screenies from this evenings plank spanking. Elvis Presley: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=522009362 Lovely bass line :) a joy to play, very neat and tidy and nice to see conversation with all the instruments. Can't say I'm a fan of EP but he knew how to sing the shit out of a song :) Pink Floyd: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=522009295 I liked this, despite it having rather long intervals between notes, I do enjoy playing the odd chord here and there and even got some without a miss! Yay me! Nicely fitting for intermediate :) Metallica: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=522009243 I haven't listened to this song in about 25 years :huh: Shame on me! It's got a nifty bass line, I'm definitely going to work on that as it is heaps of fun to play :) Led Zep: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=522011478 I watched @@bernixix's video of this a while back and it blew me away, I never dared try it though 'til today. I was doing quite well then I went right off my stride... I made it through the tricky widdley bit with not much error but then it all went Pete Tong and I got kissed to death. definitely going to put in some practice on this, it's allllll over the neck, and that's my kinda fun! :)

happy 100!!! good place to start. pink floyd - rhythm: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/429322061144280748/9E3AB730649526FDD495FE8D879888A565BFE310/

There's always one miss on Jailhouse Rock on bass - different each time, leaving me with 99.67%. I'll try it again later this week. I had a tiny uptick in Comfortably Numb, but nothing worthy of another screen shot.

My first tries on Metalica ;) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=522482852

No comment :) http://i59.tinypic.com/2cp3jx5.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/2lt6p0h.jpg Pers targets set to 97 and 95%

yeah! http://i62.tinypic.com/2jcf32p.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/jr7k20.jpg The downlevel was ok - signature riff hit me fast and hard and there was quite some blasphemy involved - how can i go for that song with a opeth guitar when there is ESP LTD in the house??? Extremely pleased with score and sound :)

I can tell you one thing from my perspective ! There will be always people holding you back from something not in a bad way, but there are some times where you have to choose. If you like playing the Guitar and don't want to listen to others and maybe you have some Guitarists you're looking up to, do what you think is right or you just let yourself gettin told by others that you can't play and stop your hobby or even a dream. Man do your thing, don't let anybody tell you what you can and what you cannot do. Because they simply cannot know what you're capable of. The only way to find out if you can learn to play is simply by doing your thing. Learning playing guitar your way, your rhythm and joy. Sure it depends on how easy you'll get into depth, but everybody started from scratch. I'm myself a amateur and i'm proud of. Because i'm learning every day constantly and improve every time. I never thought i would be able to get 85% at the Song by "Dragonforce - Through The Fire And Flames" Tell your Father what you want and what you don't want. I would tell my father calmly that he shouldn't bother me with his experience with his piano instead helping me out a little bit in a good way and that he should let me do my thing. :D Well my family supports me not directly but they're fine with what i'm doing even tho they don't listen to rock/metal and stuff. I'm from Serbia and they listen to more traditional music. Like my Brother, Friends and the most people in my Country listen to house/electro music and of course traditional. And i thought what the hell, i love rock/metal music so why not try learning to play a guitar. And damn i was dissapointed when i started, like a klutz i couldn't even hit the first notes. Like seriously i missed the first 100 notes on a slow song but it felt like they were flying by...[emoji28] After a few months i lost interest in the game because i didn't listen to those songs in Rocksmith. Expect Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country tho... And then i found out about Customsforge.... That's it, i've like 100 CDLC's downloaded and every day it grows. It's so much fun to actually play your song you're listening to... It's fun, statisfying and of course not easy, but i have my Goal set to get every Song i know to get 100% at. It will take some time because i just got 2 Songs till now at 100% with Master Mode tho...

Back after a slight absence, finishing up college life (last time, I swear) and moving house didn't leave me with a lot of time, but no matter. Week 100, quite an accomplishment for everyone involved in running the championship, and what a line up ! Metallica: http://i59.tinypic.com/2m5m1xu.png Not bad, only the double time riff in the middle is giving me a bit of difficulty. Comfortably Numb coming along nicely, still got five or six sections of the solo to nail down, slightly blistered one or two fingers today :) Hoping to get those two out of the way before too long and spend the rest of the week on World on Fire, looks like fun !

numb scores http://up.picr.de/23185109cg.jpg http://up.picr.de/23185113mj.jpg and this one I've played a few weeks ago, couldn't reach this score again today http://up.picr.de/23185117zv.jpg

yeah let´s start w100... warmup? ... no - 3 hours of tennis should have done the job.. Seek&Destroy it is... this one is quite a holy cow for me... one of my fav songs of all time, definition of trash metal, a song ´tallica won´t leave the stage before that one has been done... never tried to play that since 10-15 years ago when i stopped playing out of frustration - that was one of the songs that made me stop cause no chance at all to manage even a part... When joining the CS i put it on my "to be mastered list"... so lets see how far my journey has come (downloading)...

Some updates. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Seek%20and%20Destroy%2092_zpsndkjjbda.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Seek%20and%20Destroy%20Rhythm%209737_zpsaclfhqkm.jpg I will never be able to play the solo in lead but rhythm is going better than expected.

I'll just leave this here in case I forget to play (improve) more since I have some thing planned in the upcoming days: http://i.imgur.com/SS98p6j.jpg

Intermediate Lead - 93.95%, 62 streak I fear that I won't get better score without some serious RR'ing. Earlier I had a run with streak of 102, I probably hit all notes in 1st solo, but I don't know how I did it :ph34r:

Seems like I've underestimated myself: http://i.imgur.com/9dMI4NP.jpg Still have a bit of trouble on the intro riff (string skipping stuff), the pre-solo/solo riff (everything), and the outro riff (esp. with doing correct palm muting), but the others I've pretty much got down. Anyway, since I am technically in the intermediate class, I should probably give Comfortably Numb a go on rhythm. Also a small improvement on The Lemon Song, but I'll be doing many more attempts at that so I'll save that screenshot and post it only if I can't improve further. Which would be disappointing, because I made some really dumb blunders after the first intense bit.

Makes me feel a bit better that your score on this isn't that much better than on the MC song! Anyway, here's mine http://i.imgur.com/VeAKVYI.jpg My take - it's not actually that hard, but the way the song is, it depresses your score relative to most other songs. Most of the more complex chords are strummed only once (with the exception being one in each progression that's strummed twice!), and the rest is solo, so there aren't really any truly brainless easy notes to buff up your percentage. This is as opposed to... http://i.imgur.com/cd9bFTn.jpg which has all of those chugga-chuggas. And my picking was pretty off on this take. With a decent of practice (which will be useful for palm muting technique, finding the right string with the pick consistently, and some other things that I suck at) I can probably take that to 95% or so within the week. Not sure yet how I'll allocate my practice time between the different paths. I feel like I'll probably do just enough on the Pink Floyd to crack 80%, then focus on improving my rhythm skills and chasing the leaderboard on The Lemon Song.

@@Mortalo - You dealt with that a lot more tactfully than I would have! Anyway, if you ever need work on a bass chart, let me know and I'll see what I can do. And I'm sure @@bernixix would also be happy to help out or offer suggestions. So if you need anything for next week, now's the time to ask! And I should probably get to work on this week's songs. Should be a lot to keep me busy!

Wait, there's other games than Rocksmith? I've lived a sheltered life.

I was curious if this song manager list would point out to me which songs don't have a custom bass tone added (which would break all tones for that game session) so I knew without going into the game and having to come back out to restart after, which songs I need to add a tone via the toolkit?

For every charter who uses a folder to share their customs. We've decided to ban the use of such folders. 1. Charters forget to remove songs that are now official dlc. 2. Once you have a folder with 150 songs it is very annoying to find the song you are looking for. Please use Direct links or a folder for a single song in the case of platforms/multitracks! We will give charters the time till the 11th of October to change out their links. After that date we will remove such links.

I think i had enought of this!!!!!! My father always said i need a guitar teacher,because i have to learn properly.Ok,that's not the problem,the problem is he always said i can't play the guitar!And how????? I don't care that he learnd 14 years in the piano but never in the guitar.He saw and heard me playing,but he always said i can't play just my brothers -.- Well than maybe he should try to play This Surefing by Billy Talent and than say that!!!!!Sorry guys,i have enough of this.But why he always says that? What's Rocksmith for?To learn play guitar and that's why i started.Ok i need a teacher but why say that always? What's you opinion?

Eddie gave them to me. :P Have you figured any of the bass parts out from Black and Red? I have all the guitars ready, just need to figure the bass. I was thinking of trying to tab this video out. Ps i don't play bass :P

@@Brooklyn_Sounds - Where are you finding tabs for those? Anyway, I won't have time to do much this week, so it's fine by me if you start working on them. @@Nacholede - There's a second version of Speed of Light up on UG. It looks like it has the bass outro, so I know it will make some people happy.

Rocksmith is good for learning tabs, but unless you have a steady practice session involving technique(it took me 4 gosh darn months to bend a string) then you wont really be that good. I won't lie saying Rocksmith allowed me to play to my full potential as a guitarist, but it doesnt give you a lot of knowledge on technique, scales, and theory. Sorry, just trying to play devils advocate on the reasoning, definitely would talk to him(as an adult, seriously, talking to people and asking questions in a serious matter brings wisdom) and say that you are obviously proud of the level you are at, just dunno where you want to go in guitar.

You can all learn by yourself, but you need a hell of a discipline to improve, and a hell of a time. This discipline in progressing, (not progressing is regressing), a teacher can give you, in shorter time, if he cares. But most care more for the fee. A routine teacher, nothing worse, in no time he will make you touch your guitar nevermore. You need to feel what you want. You come home and the first thing you do is take your guitar? Then you should search for fellows who like to play together, it will give you a huge jump forward. Team play, the real thing. You come home and watch your favorite series. Stay with RS, you are not infected by ambition. (yet)

I think it depends on what you want. If you want to learn guitar seriously RS isn't enough. Just for fun and for yourself RS can be great. Anyway a great tool and it can help to keep you motivated.

Just got back into town. Still recording a MM video of Out of the Black, I don't even care if I'm two days late.

A couple of weeks ago the shoulder of my fretting hand started bothering me. I didn't think too much about it, just figured I'd tweaked it somehow. Well, it didn't go away and I eventually realized it's injured/inflamed because of the way I have to hold the guitar/bass while playing in my office chair. Because it has non-movable integrated arms, I'm forced to keep my elbow and arm at an unnatural position on the outside of the chair. Your body can deal with some of that nonsense, but if you play too much with an unnatural position like that you will injure yourself. Since I realized the problem I've been sitting on a large pillow to elevate myself above the arms. More generally, be aware of how you hold your guitar and avoid bad habits or positions that will lead to injury.

My position for playing the guitar is awful , I've learnt to play it in an office chair while reclining ( sometimes with my feet up on the amp ). I know it's wrong but I have a really lazy nature lol but I have stopped using a bag of frozen peas on my fretting hand when it aches so I can play more.

@@supername Happy birthday, old fella :lol: Power of 21st!

It's so hard to do those solos justice, but i'm having a ball trying! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hgh0lwh6oqyqd8j/221680_2015-09-21_00001.png?dl=0

Me too - I do the same. Phew!

I nearly had a heart attack when I first saw this, until I read a bit further... I link to a folder for each individual song so that I don't have to change the link when new versions/updates are placed in the folder. Glad to know this will still be allowed.

I finally finished 5:15. Check it now!

Very nice selection of songs. http://postimg.org/image/jb5cxug0p/

Totally bungled the outro by losing my fret hand position a few times, but a lot better than my first try (I'm not sure why it says I have 3... I played it, RRed the early parts of the song, then played it again. Then again, the RR acts pretty weird with various things not lining up when you choose your sections, so maybe the logic for determining when you've hit the end is messed up.) http://i.imgur.com/dDyTcJz.jpg Also, fuck those slides. "Capped" slides that shouldn't have end-notes on almost every slide, a pitched slide down to the first fret for the ring finger (a personal pet peeve), and some fretting logic around the slides that sometimes doesn't make sense at all to me. Most of it I can deal with, but I'd much rather just not have to deal with it at all. And with that, I guess I've beaten everyone from last time except Blazikiller and Choaralone. I guess that's the target now. I think 99% should be doable with knowing the song better and having a run where I don't mess up hand positioning too much, but hitting 99.5% or above is going to be really hard with those slides.

I was traveling all week and couldn't bring a bass. I'm planning to build a travel bass, but it will take a while. So today's scores are hampered by fat finger syndrome. Jailhouse Rock - after score attack, I must have pressed the wrong key instead of [F12] because the screen shot is nowhere to be found. It was high 90s, no red "X" marks, but could still use some tidying up. Comfortably Numb - 96.45% and most of the errors seem to timing related. So I have a couple of things to work on this week, and a couple of ideas of how to offend the FreeBird Police.

The solo in this version seems a lot easier to play than the old version i had. Still lots of work to do here though: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uare0s9f0j0b107/221680_2015-09-20_00001.png?dl=0 One of my all time faves. Apart from the solo, i can almost make it sound good! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/yc6pplhvbkaqcjr/221680_2015-09-20_00002.png?dl=0

Sensational choices this week!! I've got a stack of plays on both int & adv songs, but still suck at both of them. Proof to follow..... Let the battle of the solo's begin :)

I was on a roll today so why not? :lol: http://s11.postimg.org/l6wa3pd9v/2015_09_19_00002.jpg Intermediate Lead - 90%, 39 streak I almost mastered the chord part. Though solo is where the battle will take place :) Advanced Lead - 93%, streak 198 I played other versions (they do not differ much) a lot and it's not my best. That part before solo, was always killing me in Guitar Hero. Nothing has changed :( MasterClass Lead - 75%, 37 streak That felt like Jimmy Page! :lol: Haha, everytime when I hit this hybrid-picked chords I feel like lord of the universe. Most of the song is insane, even this Am7s gives me trouble. At least the power chord section is easy :P

I had no idea this thread existed. So much concentrated funk in one convenient location. I'm all about the soul/funk and will be making regular contributions to the soul/funk basslines. Glad to be here guys.

and that's a good plan so we have proper and good Songs in all classes and paths. And we have week 100 only one time.

We played Stairway to Heaven (though not live version) on week 17. We played World on Fire on week 60 and Lemon Song on week 74. I decided to use this songs only because I wanted something really cool this week, and I would use other past played songs to fill other gaps, but fortunately there were none. And I wanted different song for MC bass this week, but couldn't get good quality version of it, so had to go with plan B (and I'm quite sad about that, as that bass song was great and I don't like Lemon Song :( ). There was only one instance when participant was allowed song that we already played. That was Hotel California - but it was played in dark ages and I couldn't say no to @@missis sumner. Though I use songs from the past as an emergency replacement (when song is too hard, or there is something terribly wrong with it) or when, again, I don't want to one class had no song two times in a row. But I try to keep it to absolute minimum.

Well there it is. Everything from A to Z I could think of. Its done in a step by step process. I will include time codes for skipping stuff you don't wish to watch and getting straight to the stuff that may be unclear. Those will be coming soon.
