Hello, first timer here. I discovered Customsforge at the beginning of this year and only lurked in the championship thread until now. This week has some nice songs, so I thought I'll try my hand. As a beginner I started with the beginner song: http://i.imgur.com/2ZsEmUo.jpg That went rather smoothly so I tried a tougher one. Turned out to be silghtly above my level. Did not know Ghost before, but the song sure grew on me. http://i.imgur.com/X4u8wCO.jpg

Hey guys this is my first trial here! Hope I'm doing things right! In Flames 100% : Ghost 95.54% : Monster Truck 95.41% : Aria 94.03% :

I FINALLY got my 100%!! Figured I'd try shifting my whole hand down for the pinky to middle finger toggle (so index & ring finger), and nailed it! Varmlandsvisan - Guitar Lead - 100% http://imgur.com/a/i4Oqt

no, i didn´t! http://up.picr.de/28475811mx.jpg

I'm not sure it was worth the effort: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKTEdSZUlmYXBNbmM/view?usp=sharing And here's one from earlier, when it was my class; I may still give it another go though. ;) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKNUdueGtOY2JaY0k/view?usp=sharing /look at that streak!

Hi and welcome @@Zorglub82 and @@Anwyn :) Still close but no cigar......(just improved streak) http://i.imgur.com/pjfZtNy.png?1 And better, but still not good enough...... http://i.imgur.com/AWApkmD.png?1

Another small improvement http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Dont%20tell%20me%20how%20to%20live%20975_zpsxrowmow3.jpg

I had to complete the Ghost song. Rhythm is actually harder than Lead, who would have thought ^_^ Bass only for completion, I do not play bass. http://i.imgur.com/NYJULvV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OTppJl6.jpg

I discovered Ghost through this competition too, way back when we played Cirice, and I fell in love. Square Hammer is a little on the difficult side for intermediate, but play wherever you're comfortable~

I ~guess~ I should give my class a couple runs. http://i.imgur.com/ci9gHWf.png But gonna spend the rest of the night in D! :D

@@mackaybre - So are you going up to Intermediate now? I have not done well with Ghost / Square Hammer in my first few attempts (haven't broken 60%); figure I'll work on it a little more tonight and decide, but if that songs any indication - I'm not sure I'm ready, lol BTW - the music video for that song is one of the BEST I've ever seen! Had not heard of Ghost before this.

UIniversity is killing me this semester so far but i had to find the time to play some in flames :P http://i.imgur.com/o5fKtCG.jpg

First try, busy week http://i.imgur.com/ZSvXnKy.jpg

Thanks @@Mortalo! Exodus 91.62% : Aria 95.50% : Monster Truck 97.18% : Ghost 96.02% :

i missed one ? http://up.picr.de/28475739yt.jpg just you wait!!!

small+ rhy http://up.picr.de/28475537dg.jpg

http://i66.tinypic.com/2zhio0g.jpg hi ;)

This is exactly the kind of song I can just practice over and over again. Never goes too fast and no big jumps on the fretboard. I Riff Repeated the whole thing on 80% like 12 times in a row last night, today it just stuck :D http://i.imgur.com/xg29aoG.jpg

Because, well, Monster Truck! http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/88222597114528852/3DC5297C128D4DD34A7FFF55D7DDD20E6FA730EF/

Nice one and welcome @@vinterchaos :) So close! Nggggngngngngngng!!!! http://i.imgur.com/IgkSRuM.png?1 http://i.imgur.com/xnmBTzZ.png?1 My wrist felt better so I gave the intro some riff repeating. Now my wrist hurts again. :( I know I really should just rest it altogether, but I CAN'T!!! -_-

Another good week! http://i65.tinypic.com/10sdxkh.jpg

Guess who's back? http://i.imgur.com/4DJTFtV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NLM6LtA.jpg

I like this one, I might do a play-through in a bit. I did spend while in RR before trying SA but generally a nice straight forward 5 rating song imo, good fun :) Ghost *woo ooo!*: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=876299270 Welcome to all the new champs and hello little baby @@guijappe :) I'm knackered. It was my #1 son's birthday today and tbh.... I'm pretty surprised I didn't die today :lol: ... got all this to look forward to Guijappe :) I promise you, it's the best :D

Grats! Yeah that's how I play it. I suppose it's better form to stick to the box from 7-10, but my pinky isn't the same since I dislocated it playing soccer.

In Flames Rythm 96.91% : Ghost Rythm 91.99% : Aria Rythm 95.96% : Exodus Rythm 97.60%

I actually just made a cdlc for this. It goes up to stage 6 with the F barre chord. But I'm having an issue with the phrases. The whole song is about a half an hour long (30-1 minute changes), but there seems to be extra phrases every 15 seconds, making it a pain to cycle through in riff repeater. Does anyone know how to get rid of those? I'd be happy to post it once that's fixed.

@@mackaybre Congrats on that 100% in Varmlandsvisan! I've played it probably 50+ times now, and every single time I miss either 1 or 2 notes! I have it all down except this part: http://imgur.com/a/yASbO My fingers just don't like that pinky to middle finger and back toggle!!! lol

Slightly better on both tunes. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cg67kyit4hiyldx/221680_20170302200340_1.png?dl=0 http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xi4ct6q0n8esjdn/221680_20170302191028_1.png?dl=0

http://i.imgur.com/DY01S42.png Better at the solo, way worse at comboing. I will get that last 1%!

I'm only a month into playing guitar http://i.imgur.com/pnQNkrx.jpg

Just to prove I wasn't cheating, and to stay in MC this week, my SA score: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKRWZVcFR5UDVpd2c/view?usp=sharing I fear it may be at least six months of just fighting to stay in the class (just like three years ago when I somehow got into Advanced too early). But I will fight to stay here. :) In the meantime, 'cos I'm in D Standard... and I'm done with the CS D Standard songs this week, I've been playing some Volbeat... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKM3l1Q2h5MEN0eVU/view?usp=sharing :lol:

Square Hammer on bass is up to 99%. I won't chase perfection this week because I have other tings to do.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=874592921 Alright there's the 100% Beg Lead I was looking for. 189 Streak, 934,497 score. I'll try the INT Rhythm again later, but tbh this song is just making it all the more glaring the tuning issues I have. (G string and B string suffer from the 'tink' when tuning and now I've noticed they are very sharp on the first couple frets, and I can't get e a d on the first few frets to sound perfectly in tune) I tried re-intonating the guitar again and even adjusting the action a bit, using or not using the string saddles... Annoying same out of tune, and now I've finally completely stripped my 37-year-old intonation screw heads. :( Gotta order new strings and see if I can get replacement screws I guess and maybe look into replacing the nut.

Keep forgetting to post my scores before time is up, so here are some early ones. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/88222389119118100/493A55C0EF98EDE3C0B7B9E52B9B4B68C3C9E99F/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/88222389119117773/A3E7BBA1503FBAEC37EF8E9570862DC74D163AA3/ And this one because it rocks! I picked up the Monster Truck LP when it released and is has a place in constant rotation in my house. Pick it up if you haven't already. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/88222389119117921/85BA6848B557526446810470476508D5C4FBC33B/

Gamut's back, baby!! And what a week to come back to! Ghost AND Monster Truck? Hell yeah. Just switched my strings, so let's start low. I've had these songs in my library forever, so I just walked right into Score Attack. I was worried I'd be rusty since I haven't touched my electric in a couple weeks..., but I wasn't that bad! http://i.imgur.com/vYb8V9b.png Singin' that song with my babydoll, and a little bit of weed~ So then I did Square Hammer, and it was going swimmingly. Until- http://i.imgur.com/V8MxNLU.png ...I get destroyed by the fairly simple solo. http://i.imgur.com/3ZndaGn.png Whoops! But I can 100% this, I think.

-_- no 99 and I've played it many times with 97-98.x ... maybe I try again in the remaining days and with some luck :P http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t384/papillon-pb/championship/championship2014/Bildschirmfoto%202017-02-28%20um%2022.24.37_zpsuahkggoq.png

@@missis sumner yes you have....... i hope you sold the Rocksmith 2014 introductory lesson for £1000.... that would make it about right :P well i had a little more time than i thought tonight so here's a little try at the bass...... fingers, wrist and forearms hurt now so its time to rest my weary body, night night all

here's some updates......... well i couldn't leave it with 2 missed notes ;) still can't get the INT Rhythm working so i'll crack on with Ghost, If I can get the recognition issues sorted I think I'll get up to 92% :angry: And this could so easily be 94% if Rocksmith could understand what i was trying to do. lastly a quick run through Monster Truck....cool song i'm not really been in to any of the songs and they are not what I normally listen to, but they have grown on me :unsure: maybe I'm a changing man

Finally got my desired 99% http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Square%20hammer%209915_zpsre7wkwps.jpg So i gave rhythm a try. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Square%20hammer%20Rhythm%209776_zpsrawdj0gj.jpg And also http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Dont%20tell%20me%20how%20to%20live%209726_zpsznzghowh.jpg

Yeah, I've used that excuse myself. ;) Seriously, changing strings is dead easy. There are pretty comprehensive instructions here: https://www.studybass.com/gear/bass-strings/how-to-change-bass-guitar-strings/ If it's your first time, take photos of the headstock before you start, then you'll have a record of how the strings are wound on the pegs on your bass. Then all you should need are wire cutters/snips. Take care to get the right string in the right position before you cut anything (V.O.E. - after doing it so many times, it's easy to get blasé, and cut one too short). The only other thing maybe to cover the body of the bass with something - tape/cloth, so that when you pull the strings through the bridge, you don't scratch your finish.

Varmlandsvisan - Guitar Lead Beginner - 99.47% http://imgur.com/a/kVxlm I keep missing 1 note, and it's aggravating me now!!! =) Edit: And since I broke 99% on Beginner; I figured I'd give the intermediate a try; first run: Square Hammer - 60% http://imgur.com/a/EjyJD Definitely going to need some work on this one tomorrow, lol

First scores of the week...... i was going to do the Rhythm but it won't work, the whole game freezes and i have to re-start, so rather than think logically what was wrong i got annoyed, swore a bit then re-tuned to 'D' this wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be so I think I'll spend some time on this, plus I like it which helps ;) night night all

Blimey @@papillon! How many cdlc do you have to still be enumerating at the end of a song?! :O :D Congrats @@guijappe, that's great news! :confetti_ball: And congrats @missis-sumner! :lol: Like Rodman I'm sorry to see you leave Advanced (honestly! :P :D )....but at the same time you've proved you've got the nuts for MC (get it, coz...nuts...on a bass...that you replaced...I'll see myself out!) :lol: No improvement from me yet. I did riff repeat Aria and got a score I was pretty happy with...then realised I'd only gone and practiced the wrong blooming song! :rolleyes: I don't think my wrist can take any more riff repeating.

another great attempt adv lead... still in 4th - cool scores, boys!!! http://up.picr.de/28448215qh.jpg

Can I defer it for a week? :lol:

@@missis sumner - indeed ;) Congratulations! Usually i check all the paths mid-week for potential up levellers when doing leaderboard update... unless noone has screamed till then. I hate that you leave adv... but i fear you belong up there ...

You might enjoy Mokoma, Diablo and Kotiteollisuus. They are Finnish Rock-Thrash bands. And definitely check out Deftones, especially older stuff. Lähetetty minun SM-G920F laitteesta Tapatalkilla

OK guys! I have been away to witness the birth of my first child. He is going to be a guitarist, since I'm married and he'll get all the attention! :P After almost two weeks of half sleeping and a lot of sleepwalking, I am back and the song selection is awesome this week! Are you on the square? http://i.imgur.com/HAMkdGE.jpg Are you on the level? http://i.imgur.com/vNKm3CD.jpgAre you ready to swear, right here right now, before the devil! http://i.imgur.com/2IY3aoV.jpgPS.: I may or may not be a nameless ghoul. You decide! :P
