sorry did ratings in my head, few songs not in the championship before. guitar plays so bad it can take a few % off randomly depending on tuning/intonation stuff, makes it bit harder to judge properly, so kinda going more on the sight of the tab than scores, that's where it may be a bit off, but hoping it's close enough. U2 is probs 3 max for all, barely moves around from the same basic movements, faster rhythm bit for the break is all. Beach Boys rhythm/bass are the same, it dances across the strings a bit but in the same area so not too hard 3/6ish? i find this level the toughest to gauge right tbh. whereas lead might be a bit tough for inter, chords maybe tricky and the kinda random solo too, but commit. 4-6ish? Foo's kinda like BB ratings but slightly harder, rhythm/bass same kinda dancing about movements but tempo notched up a bit, 5-7?, lead 6-7?, Thin Lizzy lead maybe 7-9, for the outro solo? rhythm/bass 7/8? Jeff Loomis - lead is like 11+ good luck super shredders, the other parts not tooooo hard, but it is god so no ez 100's. seemed super fun to me, just had to play with a slightly lighter touch being so low if you find it too easy, try singing along if you find it too hard, practice more!

you're still a winner to me

too many gods to keep track of

oof, is that MC that easy for you... and can the bass not detune that far without drop pedals? it was a bit low and dirty on the guitar emulation but seemed to play alright if a proper bassist wants to throw out a better choice quick...

yeah, as i said wrapping up the end of last week, i'm a total bass noob so difficulties may be a bit off. noticed my own and couple other scores were higher for GOG than than MC, np cos both solos ripped and were challenging/fun, but stepped MC down a bit and GOG up a bit to balance that. not sure if supposed to even do 2 GOG in a row... but it's up now, so here we go good luck!

5x practice in LAS, +3% increase in SA... it'll be alright on the night! guess which bit I X'd... practiced it earlier in the week but not enough to catch it on the fly unpracticed now but a new week begins!

heads up, i've finished testing, so new week will start about 7pm-ish GMT, basically after i've had a few attempts and posted an MC score myself! get your last attempts in now (also, i'm late reading through all this weeks posts too... if you all want extra bass divisions sorry but that can start next week, taken me long enough testing this week as i never normally play bass, so been a bit clueless catching up again. been fun trying the bass for a change, but may have fudged the difficulty selections a bit, so feel free to give *constructive!* feedback)

A new (old) challenger approaches...

so... my testing was probs waaaaay off, considering this is the best I can manage with my duff guitar atm. bends aren't registering between 14-21st fret. probs take a break until i fix a guitar up properly cos really annoying. [/url] improvement on satch boogie though not totally derping the tapping part [/url]

the audio exclusivity settings for rocksmith are a bit of a troll imo, while I did manage to finally get it working, rocksmith still decides when it does or doesnt want to give me a pop up warning or 2 about the sound not functioning correctly on game launch (just click ok, sound still works fine for me), and not sure if this option also relates to seemingly more random crashes in general, not too many to be super annoying, but def a bit unstable... however, it was the necessary evil for me to get my setup working for streaming with a mic working and recording videos with audio. go to options, audio and audio exclusivity unchecked. after restarting the game, if it still you leaves you with no audio at all you might have to close again and reconfigure the audio setup in the desktop sound/speaker options in the bottom right of the taskbar. make sure the Rocksmith USB cable also has exclusivity unchecked, and while in the tab for good measure just check all the other signal pathways are sending/receiving to all the right places as well ie headphones as headphones, mic as mic, rocksmith usb NOT as the headphones mic etc, mine were all scrambled for some reason. I don't remember the exact process I had to follow in the end, just that I remember it was a bit of hassle, but more than a few people have googled the question so better info is out there about it if this doesnt work for you https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/802854-Rocksmith-2014-PC-Configuration-and-FAQ can't recommend streamlabs (OBS/SLOBS) enough, havent tried the option myself yet but pretty sure I saw it can auto stream to any/all of twitch/mixer/youtube simultaneously, take your pick of platform(s), or, though i'd say def primarily for streaming, the record option also works great with or without streaming. i'm off to research more on this shadowplay option and playing out my own amp

might be some disagreement on ratings, been testing on a ropey guitar last minute and dont play bass etc... give feedback and can shuffle selections around a bit if needed, if everyone would rather skew the difficulty a little lower or higher meelo/RgDkA already made a few points to me already but see what everyone else thinks (edit) nm im slow, already changed!
