Not my best day, but still here are the sight reads: Lead: I like some of the riffs in this, but I've never heard of this band. Are they always singing about Jesus and praying? Babymetal always seemed a gimmick to me, so I never payed any attention to them. After playing it I think it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's certainly more interesting than the myriad of "modern metal"/"metalcore" bands with djenty breakdowns and lo-fi intros. So, while I won't be listening to any of their albums, I get the appeal. </unsolicited opinion> Also: I'd rate the difficulty at 8 or 8.5 max, regardless of my low score. I mean, if this is 9, then what would you rate a Polyphia (or Animals as Leaders, or any <insert virtuoso here>) song? 69? Rhythm: Bass:

One missing note.

I think I missed only 2 or 3 notes. 100% seems most likely in reach.

Funny, reminds me of this: @ Anitomer If you want online troubleshooting from people on the internet you need to provide more info, like: 1. Have you looked at the pins of the usb plug of the cable? I once had an usb-thingy where in the plug itself the plastic broke off and the pins got bent. It fried the usb port. 2. Have you tried different usb ports on your computer? 3. Did you change the place where you plug in your computer into the wall recently? Is the electrical outlet grounded properly? 4. SpankNass says that this only happened when he/she was using a battery powered guitar. Are your pickups active or passive? If active, does removing the battery from the guitar stop the shocking? 5. When plugged into an amp, do you get a lot of noise/buzz when not playing? Or maybe when touching the bridge, or the pots, or anything metal on the guitar? If so, it might suggest a grounding issue in the guitar itself. DISCLAIMER: I am not an electrical engineer nor a guitar tech. I do not know anything about anything. Still, it's a interesting problem (the MOST electric guitar), so pls let me know if you find the cause of this.

I really like the idea of a themed week and especially of posting some info on the chosen songs. Sadly, I'm not a fan of any of these bands. Anyway, here's my scores so far: Lead: Rhythm: Bass: @ coldrampage Last week I won bass by posting in the last minute, and it felt kinda cheat-y. So this time consider yourself warned. I'll be posting a better score, tomorrow probably.

Does this happen on all USB ports?

Bass update:

I like this song. Gonna try to level up bass now.

Slow progress is still progress, I guess...

hangover sightread: lead: Not really my jam. Vulfpeck is cool, but this is the wrong song. Yay for Vector! I really liked the terminal redux record, but never heard this song before. Big plus for no arpeggios and no down tuning. I'll most def play this a lot during the week. Rhythm: Bass: My right hand is hurting, I'll need a couple days break from bass playing.

I don't think it does, but maybe someone with more knowledge on the rules can clarify this? Anyway, it was really close and you had me riff-repeating those arpeggios ad infinitum. And I hate arpeggios. So idk, maybe the real win is the trump memes we share along the way? It really was a challenge, let's do it again.

I'm not sure about the rules, but I was under the impression the the accuracy score is the most important one, and 96.29 > 96.00. Am I wrong here? Anyways: I'm not playing sober again.

@ Anitomer ha, I guess beer is good for you (or at least me). Don't look at the low score and streak tho.

Yeah, I did that after your earlier post, but my fingers where done already by that time. I usually play 8s on guitar, this bass thing is killing me.

Final bass score from me this week. I'll get some heavier strings next time. @ Anitomer I don't think Ill be able to beat that today, I'm on my third beer already. Still, I'll give it a shot.

@ Anitomer

Classes checked, looks good. @ Anitomer Challenge accepted. Also I can see the purple bars for phrases both in learn a song and score attack. I used the CFSM to import, so maybe that fixed it?

Yay for new strings. I was a big mastodon fan in the Blood Mountain days, so I'll definitely play this some more. Also, if Trees was I 9, I'd give this a 7.5. Strangely, the rhythm part does not seem easier, probably because I suck at the arpeggio-like parts. I guess it's time to learn hybrid picking or something.... The bass score I'm not sure I can improve, not without heavier strings at least. There's a lot of notes that are not registering, and it happens in a different part every time. Maybe with luck and repetition, idk.

Hi everybody, I would definitely like to be in the masterclass for all 3 paths . Does that mean I didn't win rhythm last week? Here's my first tries for this week: Lead: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605633765 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605633913 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605634115 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605634228 Rhythm: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605634521 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605634595 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605634411 Bass: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605634710 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605634788 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605635119 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605635226 Tomorrow is restringing day, so I expect better scores on the the mastodon song. Except for bass, ain't got new strings for that, but I feel I can finesse a score bit higher if I work on fretting with just the right amount of force in the left hand. Also: @ BluesMcGroove Holy shit man, you work fast! I've never done any customs myself and now I feel even more intimidated to try. But since trying the hard things is the best way to improve, I'm gonna look for a song to do. Got any tips? @ Anitomer (Is this the right way to reply to people?) Don't take this the wrong way, but I feel I need to defend Ritchies solo a bit. While you're right that he didn't repeat it note-for-note, he never repeated any solo. All of his solos where improvised, and I've seen him saying in interviews multiple times saying that playing the same solo twice seems boring to him. Comparing his solos to slayer solos just seems wrong, and I'm a fan of slayer. Also, his name is Blackmore, how much more black can you get? The answer is none, none more black. @anyone How does the song selection excel-thing work? There are multiple sheets in that file, and some of them seem untouched for years. PS. I am willing and able to help with the organizational stuff, once: 1. I understand how this are done here 2. you guys decide you trust me enough.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2604634474 This song is hard. I no longer think i can get it to 90%. I may be able to get 85% tomorrow, but dunno if I'll find the time.

Thanks for the replies, I guess it would be best to wait till the end of the week with choosing a class. Anyway, I played some more today. Did some redos this time, so I can focus on Trees in the lead path. This will probably be my final score on these arrangements: Rhythm: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2601318848 Lot's of fun with this song, will def check out the band. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2601505609 This one was definitely harder than the lead path, i did some riff repeater time on the acoustic parts. Also, I don't think it's 100% accurate in those spots, but it could be just overdubs in the recording, so idk . Bass: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2601504746 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2601504524 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2601504271 Haven't played bass in a while, my right hand fingers are hurting. Still, it was fun. I don't know why, but Geddys lines have a way of just getting under my fingers - in stark contrast to Alexs. Geddys playing feels like home, while Alex does always seem alien. Is it just me, or does someone get what i'm trying to say? Also, I think that rocksmith should be more strict with rhythm, especially in the bass path. I definitely was off in a couple of places, but still it was counted as a good note. GOG: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2601185899 It was really fun to play. Sadly spaghetti strings and fretbuzz hindered my score. I'll get some heavier strings and setup one of my guitars for lower tunings, but I doubt it'll happen this week, so this is my final score I guess.
