Hi there, I've been lurking around on and off for a little while, this is my first attempt at a challenge though. LEAD: (I'm totally new to power chords and using a pick) I've hit a wall, can't get better than this for now.... http://i.imgur.com/tAjVWeH.jpg?2 BASS: (Literally just received my first bass guitar about an hour and a half ago) This was my third run through on hard, so I'm going to try to improve on this score. http://i.imgur.com/2JtLttU.jpg?1

Well. This post is last in this week. I guess. I'm going on vacation with my wife for 2 weeks. No PC, no guitar. My fingers will become soft as a child's ass. My results will fly out of table =) But anyway. Have a nice week. And another one =) Make cool sound. Get new high results. And someday I'll be back and check this out! :wub: you and will miss you !

a bit struggling with chord recognition - this should end up in the high 90s http://i67.tinypic.com/actkhx.jpg

http://i64.tinypic.com/o94jmr.jpg This song is actually pretty difficult, hands hurt after one play but a nice song.

@@Vodka have a nice holiday mate, and nice score on the Clutch song, i haven't tried it yet but i doubt i'll get near you this week. i tried the rush song though... and the bass, which i will be playing a bit more, i agree with @@covinhas87 this has a nice tone and is nice to play, i can see a better score on this by Saturday, i know it'll get blown out of the water but i was happy with this score on a song i have never heard before, night night all...... miss you too @@Vodka

My mum says "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all", but I think the songs are shite this week… :p https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKTkRtMTlQcU5GTWc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKWGVkR0Z0RGRSTVU/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKRG94b2x1bEl2OG8/view?usp=sharing I did try to play the Sheela me-do-dah song properly, hence the shite score. It sounded like random, but kind of in-time, noise. In other news, I did finally get my 99% on Hotel California. :)

Project to gather, organize and standardize, and improve exercise customs Rules recommended 1. Arrangement is in "Lead", and bonus/alternate arrangements 2. Tuning is E-Standard (except for special situations, like 5string Bass) 3. Record page (submitted cDLC) : Artist name "You", Album name "Exercises" (beware of typos) Ignition search "Exercises" order on Artist - should give a most complete list. 4. Exercises should list together in RS14, sorted by Artist "You" display under "Y", not overloaded letter. "You Bass" for Bass only Exercises "You Artist" for Exercises by Artists "You Riff" for practical Exercises 5. Filenames (no space), "YouBass, YouArtist,YouRiff" ....psarc followed main topic exercised, sub-topics (style, root notes), origin, charter.

@@Aludog Hi, Aludog Only two Steppenwolf songs in the CF Database what a shame, I have always wanted to try my hand at charting some of there tunes. I saw on your Aludog's Blues Tab Database lots of Steppenwolf. Could I get the following sheet music? Magic Carpet Ride (Might be impossible or super hard to chart with all the keyboard and effects)Rock MeThe PusherHey Lawdy Mama No rush, whenever you get a chance. Later, Terry

@@Vodka ............. thank you =) Clutch isn't a hard song. You'll get 100% here ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I think my little masked Russian friend is over estimating my abilities :unsure: P.S. I haven't played this 4 times :rolleyes: but this is the first time I finished it in SA

I doubt I'll be able to play tonight - I've got a sharp stabbing pain in my left index fingertip. It started suddenly yesterday, and it's still quite noticeable (I can't even type with it). I'm pretty sure this has happened before as well, and I think I just had to rest it. :( Even though I don't really like the songs, I'm not using it as an excuse, honest. :lol:

A song that haven't made me go crazy while I went for the 100%, wat is dis http://i.imgur.com/7Lhrrzg.jpg http://i.imgur.com/i6nbdvC.jpg

These are all songbook tabs. The whole point was to get those sorted out and to make them available as well. :)

@@Aludog Love your Blues Tab Database List. So organized and easy to search and look through, Great Job on it Buddy! I will defiantly be contacting you for some resources in the future. Later, Terry

well after a Beer drenched weekend i managed to get on the guitar for an hour, starting of with Pink....... theres not enough Pink on here in my opinion :rolleyes: Bass, nice and easy, Lead a little more challenging but still easy, then Rhythm which i haven't quite got the 1005 yet but should get it by the end of the week, might even try MM annoyingly i didn't see the miss :(

Hi, Guys Well, what a week, feels like I traveled around the world. I spent 5 days in San Diego and then 3 days getting the youngest daughter too and set up at college. Everything went pretty smooth, no major disasters. I was on the go so much I didn't have time to post any pics. will try to get some up here soon. Looking forward to the 3-day weekend coming up (Labor Day weekend) here in the U.S., but I am pretty sure I will most likely be on the go visiting family. No rest for the weary for sure. ​So glad to be back and plan on picking up the Guitar again, and try to get those 3 ZZ Top customs completed and posted some day. Hope everybody out there are OK and doing fine. Later, Terry

Wooohooo. First 100% in Master for me. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/U%20%20Ur%20Hand%20100%20MASTER_zpsmrq9s137.jpg
