Secular Haze Lead

Never got around to tackle the dualist any more, but since my last score never got registered I'm posting it again. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/The%20dyellist%20Rhythm%2090_zps2ycph3kj.jpg

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=545125122#_=_ Best I could do in the alloted time. I can get it better, but it would take longer than a week. I'm a bit disappointed as I felt like I had the song down fairly well minus the second part of the solo and one other part that kept messing me up that shouldn't have.

I think my hand's going to fall off after putting in quite a lot of time playing this week :) Here's the results of my efforts. Firstly, a proper score for MC rhythm - btw we need more people to level up and join me, come on guys and girls you can do it ! http://s14.postimg.org/s4cbtt5i9/ghost_secular_haze_rhythm.png MC bass: will it be enough ??? http://s23.postimg.org/qx3fsprpn/iron_maiden_the_duelist_bass.png And some old school Metallica !

Happy Halloween, friends! Here's a spooky video. You know this tune! I've got company from out of town so I won't be posting any scores for a bit.

Since it's Halloween (still, at least for me and other people in NA and SA), and Devin Townsend is the extra song this week, I thought some of you might like seeing this video if you haven't yet. Anyway, while I wasn't the one to originally chart it, I can do updates on Eagle Fly Free if there's anything that needs doing. I didn't play around with tone volumes (or the tones themselves) too much back when I did the update, so let me know if there's any adjusting I should do there. For the bass pre-chorus (I think) riff, I wasn't sure about the best way to play it. I'll probably play around with some things while I'm RRing it in the coming days, but if you have any suggestions for it, I'd welcome them. Corrections to the tabs will of course be useful as well. Also sectioning if there's anything that's too hard to practice, or places where I went overboard and made sections that are too easy to fail. Also, both lead guitar and rhythm guitar have solos, as the tabs provided had things separated by guitarist. I'd be happy to try to add pure lead and pure rhythm, but given that the song was selected this way, I'd keep the main paths as they are (at least for this week).

Happy Halloween and Helloween, everyone!!!

Thanks @ :) your intonation advice worked a treat! You're the epitome of your moniker!

Oh, oh! Fought for the honour! Oh, oh! Fought for the splendour! Oh, oh! Fought for the pleasure! http://i.imgur.com/yN8Figt.jpgBut hopefully not to the death! (But seriously, I hope you don't have more time in the next hour or two). I think all of my misses were in the first half of the riff under the first harmony (though I thought I had only four misses, so take that with a grain of salt), so the streak will be pretty hard to beat. It's definitely still possible to do it with fewer misses as I've gotten 3 or 4 misses on that riff several times, and I've had halves of it that were 100% (as the latter half was this time). But it's probably not too likely that I won't get any misses on the second solo or the chords (where sometimes I've somehow gotten four misses) again, and I can't yet play that riff consistently enough to the point where it wouldn't take lots of trials to improve further.

@@2groggy Hi, if you want you can add to the list my last custom: http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/donatella-r18103( it's a ska ) Also I'd like to report these two reggae songs: http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/007-shanty-town-r8047and http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/israelites-r8046

@@fiddlesticks - It's better if you spread the fun out throughout the week rather than saving everything up for Friday. Anyway, here's my response. http://i.imgur.com/JlvH9L9.jpg Oh, wait. Wrong one. You interrupted me when I was trying to go for 100%'s on the official Maiden songs. (For the record, I f'ed up exactly one note before each chorus). For real now: http://i.imgur.com/tEXYwrE.jpgDamnit, wrong one again! (Missed the very last G on the riff after the solos. So close). Maybe this one? http://i.imgur.com/dzpxMZu.jpgYour move. I think that's 10 misses: 8 in the riff under the first harmony, 1 in the riff under the second solo (which is far to easy to fool Rocksmith on, though I tried to play it honestly), and 1 chord in the outro.

OK, so after watching the video tutorial on making CLDC's made by @@SkepticSquid here: http://customsforge.com/topic/841-how-to-make-cdlc-full-in-depth-tut-completed/ some of us still have difficulties so I thought that a non-video tutorial with screenshots and text instead might also be helpful, let's start: I've divided everything into 6 sections, some of them are currently in progress, but in the end you will be able to make your own customs for Rocksmith 2014.

Testing Rock and Roll Band Bass Shortly, Will report back Bass was great and fun to play, It challenged my skills on bass. Great song. Song volume was good, bass volume was good too, in my opinion. Sync good, Notes good. William

A51Ripcord William when you make the tab i EOF make section and phase find section that are the same or close call then verse chorus bridge or what ever shift s will get you section and shift p will get you phase in shift s you have to checked bottom box and in shift p you need the to top ones to be checked so two boxes will be checked here so for guitar on phase i name it gvers1 guitar2 i use g2vers1 bass bvers1 then the next same note i use the same name so if i play that part it will level all the other parts with that name will level up at the same time if that does not help let me know and i will look for link to where i learned that from Later Rick

William good song plays nice like it alot play Lead and Rhythm syncing was good sounds of the tone and song sounded good to me the riff repeater seem to only level up whole song not section of the song but if that the way you wanted it thats fine but if someone want to play a part of song it will not do that but really like the song and it play well and sound good nice job Later Rick

EOF saves every arrangement completely independently of the others, it shouldn't be possible for it to confuse chords in one track with those in another. If the chord names are correct in EOF and in the XML files it creates during save, that's generally where my involvement ends and it would be an issue with something else like the toolkit. Please check the XML files, particularly the names given in the chordTemplate tags. I'll be on standby if anybody else can confirm whether chords within handshape tags are not being displayed with both the repeat line and the single notes that make up the chord. If it's not displaying that way, I can probably fix it by exporting such chords as both a chord and as single notes.

I agree the chord names are to fk. I actually made a (honestly totally separate suggestion, I use 1409) suggestion in the Toolkit thread for a relative/sounding chord editor. Seems like now would be a great time to allign chord name databases... But I really commented to say well done @ That's the most impressive chart I've seen in a long time, I'm definitely gonna look out your stuff and play it :clap: If I were to add a tip, I'd say make the notes at the start of the handshape accented (in EoF Ctrl+Shift+A), the chart would just be to die for :D And tune your fkn guitar!

Great song selections this week!

If someone interested for full wallpaper which turned when I did banner, with Devin Downsend, there link. :)

Yeaaahh, Juular! I loved playing that song back in the day.

Lets go and have fun. Happy Halloween to all!

It was a great week of competition, great battles for insane scores and nice video. The score is no longer accepted. Prepare the guitars for the next competition. :D

@@NoonyDeloony Thanks. I would like to say more, but have not enough english words in my vocabulary :D Your video also inspire us all, not rest on your laurels. Yet, i sure you'll like the next week and we will see more of your show. ;)

Happy Halloween ALL! @@NoonyDeloony Thanks for great show and nice sounds. You best artist there :)

I was never a friend of ignition, because it encourages too much a hit and run attitude, I like critics and suggestions, but feedback for our customs became quite rare. Ignition also hangs on Opera 12.16, whenever I select an artist or a charter, I get a not very well ordered list, and I can't go further. This version of Opera is the most customizable browser ever made, so I won't change, but of course it's no argument against Ignition. But it's the only issue I have from all my regular sites. Now with the old search, my complete list of customs doesn't show anymore, only some, and I wonder if the filters also "forget" other customs. There are 78 Buckethead customs on Ignition, but the old search engine only displays 70. So that leaves me sitting between two chairs. I can understand when it is criticized, that ignition is not (yet) worth the donations, I still wait for THE major improvement that will change my mind. Still no very clear way to bring people to feedback on how well a custom is made. It really keeps me off downloading, I really like to play the customs, and memorize them but too often, I had to spend half an hour correcting them before. Maybe the download button should politely (warn to) deactivate, for those who never rate a custom. Maybe some ratio rating/download should be installed.

Guess who is the proud and totally stoked owner of a 1973 American Standard Fender Jazz Bass :tada:

The fingerboard in that post is disgusting! I thought mine were bad but they're nothing compared to that! I tend to wash my hands before playing so I don't mess it up too much but I change strings every month and I always give a full clean at the same time.

this sounds like a grounding problem, in old houses moostly the kitchen is grounded, try to connect ur pc there to see if it works

Nobody here has a crystal ball. If you want to guarantee access to your stuff forever, the best you can do is to back it up yourself. External hard drives are getting really cheap, and writable DVDs cost almost nothing (less than a quarter per disc if you buy in bulk).

Maybe I'm the only one who misses RS2012 audience, I't was more fun to me to have a setlist, reach a certain level and play for a more discernible and responsive audience.
