First Bowie, then Prince, now Cohen.. wtf is happening up there? some kind of legends of music festival or what? Nice walking bassline but a bit tough for me. These basslines with notes on the same fret but different string make my ring finger stiff and I end up playing the note on the wrong string... That at best, at worst I got some kind of dyslexic attack and my sight reading goes totally off :D Anyways, here's my better try so far for this week: http://i.imgur.com/1P9ugYQ.jpg

My first entry in the championship. After a couple tries I got a good score on bass for Diamonds in the mine. @@RealityPixels About notes on different strings but the same fret, i try to fret both strings (in this case) without moving my finger too much. I'm useless with a guitar, couldn't get past the first section in Underdog on rhythm. Maybe i just need to change strings.. they're all rusted and haven't been changed in more than a year xD I did manage to get a score in Heathens on lead.

perhaps a little bit too competitive when the leaderboard is opened in the background :huh: :P :D

here is the int update.. man why did i not do SA? http://i63.tinypic.com/21eq6tf.jpg

I get the brain farts too! :lol: Just curious, do you play with colour blind mode on? I do, because I usually find it impossible to id orange notes unless there's a yellow close by for comparison and even then... :wacko: It does seem to make it harder for me to deal with greens + blues on the same fret though. Until the day I'm good enough to play by not relying on what I see, my conclusion is contrast matters, the more the better. I might have to try switching cb mode on/off depending on the song. If only there were a way to completely personalise your colour set! ^_^

One of those weeks I have no clue about any of this music. Well, except Heathens, it's hard not to know that one. http://i.imgur.com/V43c60M.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DO9IU5H.jpg I usually say something about the songs, but... I was high as hell for these sightreads and I don't remember anything about either of them. :huh: Either they weren't that memorable, or that was some potent purp... Commentary next time!

make it one (it´s only monday) http://i65.tinypic.com/6e1af8.jpg

Argh.. thats 2 notes early in the song http://i68.tinypic.com/vpzuaw.jpg

A couple more runs and a wee bit of improvement on lead. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/254845729782868438/18DE3A9902BE73CAF4F6BF88A4A012D75D64A7C3/

http://i68.tinypic.com/693tcl.jpg ;) ciao

After several reps I got this http://i.imgur.com/6voZNLq.jpg The song sounds better with the tone from Long Live the King of Sabaton ;P

@@NoonyDeloony Thanks for the advice! Will try to watch a playthrough of Pistol Switch and play along (don't have original RS). And I have some Ska songs: they are so fun to play. But my "problem" is with the left hand mostly. My right hand has improved a lot, I think, and I don't have too much struggles to set the rhythm with it

@@RealityPixels you will get there with practice. "Pistol switch" (original track on rocksmith) is a good song to practice for string skipping on the same fret and dexy's midnight runners "come on eileen" too. I also use colour blind mode for the same reason as @@Fraggle Baggle and it does help a fair bit. Have a dabble with some different rhythms too to help with your right hand plucking/plecking patterns. Ska P and Ninos con Bombas have some nice tracks for practice right hand technique. :)

Haha thanks for the kind words, I've been playing for 3 and a half years with Rocksmith, never touched guitar before that.

Had a quick couple gos on a few songs. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/254845729779069146/B1FC9A08B1C197E7781B9F43D77524BD14A10C4D/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/254845729779068279/6A772EF3148B4405A133A4268C368CA77DB957A0/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/254845729779067277/8A826E9798639E27A725477B6CE7F8D87C972D70/ With a little practice, this should be a good week.

@@RealityPixels ahh yes I see you mentioned your ring finger getting stiff, aye, same here most of my videos my ring finger is perma straight and I still haven't quite figured out to get rid of its temporary paralysis while playing. If I do find a way to get around that problem I'll let you know but for the now I'm afraid I can offer no cure or preventative measure... I know a few bassists use gloves when playing, I wonder if that'd help? :)

I get the brain farts too! :lol: Just curious, do you play with colour blind mode on? I do, because I usually find it impossible to id orange notes unless there's a yellow close by for comparison and even then... :wacko: It does seem to make it harder for me to deal with greens + blues on the same fret though. Until the day I'm good enough to play by not relying on what I see, my conclusion is contrast matters, the more the better. I might have to try switching cb mode on/off depending on the song. If only there were a way to completely personalise your colour set! ^_^ Brain farts :D Yes, that's a good way to call them. I play with the normal colour scheme, will try the colour blind mode to see if I notice a difference. But, in my case is not about the color.. I don't know how to explain it: I can sight read at a glance changes from the 1th fret to the 16th or bigger and even nail them without looking at the fretboard (unless is a very fast song :D). But when I have to change strings on the same fret, or do constant arpeggios (like Muse's bassline last week) my brain kind of locks and I have to pause the song, riff repeat it slower or, as you say, rely on what I hear instead of what I see... But even then, sometimes i tell my ring finger to move but it don't want to :D I suppose it has to do something with my playing technique: I started playing bass about a year ago, but seriously and with a decent instrument since February. And I'm totally self taught. I know about the one finger per fret technique, but for me is harder to think what fingers goes where while I play. If i don't care about that my fingers just flow with the groove Now that I re read it that last sentence sound kind of arrogant, but you know what I mean :)

riddim is quite a bit harder than lead here, ok try http://i64.tinypic.com/2rm5mde.jpg

1st try rhy http://i65.tinypic.com/2yjoj86.jpg

Good week everyone! Have tried Twenty One Pilots - Heathens only. Very strange to play lead arrangement. http://i.imgur.com/d1LEOZG.jpg

A little better https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKRmZBLUV3dWc4SEU/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKRzVLVlY5Q2xyMDA/view?usp=sharing I couldn't manage an improvement on Diamonds in the Mine, though, I'm just too tired. I've cleared leaves and jet-washed all my front drive/garden/house and brushed sand into all of my paving joints this weekend - no doubt for the rain to wash it all out again. Next weekend is back garden…

wow, that were too many beers last night, but I could manage this before it was too late http://up.picr.de/27424738vw.jpg now I'm back to life

Well, we all had to start somewhere… ;)

Hi, not sure if this is covered already somewhere, but I couldn't find it with the search terms I used... I'm finding I can't stop track previews on ignition. The pause button does nothing, I either have to wait till the song has finished to play another one, or refresh the page every time. If it's relevant I'm using Chrome. Thanks! Edit: when I say the pause button does nothing, what I should have said was it doesn't stop the track, but it opens up the track info window instead.

happy birthday guys!! http://i63.tinypic.com/2wgw6k5.jpg

Welcome @@RicYin! Happy birthday @@Hughmonty and @@Viltaire!

@@MaZtoR Thx m8 - i seem to have lucky fingers there, i am hellishly bad on apreggios normally, those three strings do work (did yd) gotta go for int before trying harder here...

@@mikewiehle, I'll help you out for free. You can find the instructions to get back up and running here: http://customsforge.com/topic/33889-how-to-add-custom-songs-on-mac/ RSInjector is no longer used. Also, the CF Song Manager doesn't, and never has, worked on Mac. Not sure if it ever will.

@@Rodman nice score on Only one. I cant even play those damn arpeggios @ 90% speed after more than 1h in riff repeater. The picking is just to fast for me.

yeah that´s ok http://i63.tinypic.com/233b4n.jpg

well maybe it´s the first time ever... but today i feel "i play guitar good" 1st try adv http://i68.tinypic.com/ixyqmr.jpg will be gone 2morrow 4sure, no worries ;)

Ah...bass...that's more like it! I'd played Heathens and Underdog before, so no excuses really. http://i.imgur.com/9f5FeGz.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/p7WTjzm.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/2z4KbBG.jpg?1 3 attempts...all 99.85% and I swear to God I can't tell where I'm missing notes! It says perfect phrase across the board and I'm not hearing the "Miss" sound. :unsure: Extra frustrating because I can't stand this track! (Sorry whoever chose it!) :D http://i.imgur.com/A6em8Cs.jpg?1

Hang on a sec, what's this? A guitar attempt?! :o http://i.imgur.com/eNEGX34.jpg?1 I played this many, many times before I got a bass ( <3 Kasabian!) - there's absolutely ZERO correlation between the difference in this and my previous high score (100% in MM *cough*) and my obsession with bass now. ZERO I say! :D (Ok, maybe there's some) :P It was interesting to see the rhythm path has been completely reworked from when I last played it. It was more of a lead path before. I struck out on it this time! :D
