I don't 100% things much but got a few this week and definitely could get the Black Keys song up to 100, I believe I just happened to miss the very first note or two of the playthrough. Not sure if I'll get a chance to play much the rest of the week but I didn't much care for playing either the Advanced or MC songs this week. Fine to listen to, but it just didn't connect with my playing so it's doubtful I'll really try to push these up much at all.

Not had much luck getting any game/guitar in this week, work is killing me again these days. The game did not want to pick up open notes for this song for some reason. It's where I think all my misses were: Paranoid is just the poster child that simple != bad. It's just super fun to play: 99% to the game, 54% to the ear: This one reminds me of The Trees where I feel like it's more that it's hard because it's just a fun song to play, and not fun because it's hard, if you get what I mean (which I played immediately after this song because I just got such good vibes off it): I doubt I'll be able to get any guitar in this week, but I might be able to get another bass pass in.

I didn't choose the Encanto song specifically because it would be either a love/hate thing for people but after I picked it I realized it probably would be. Maybe it is a "I watched the movie thing" but I love the whole soundtrack to the movie and it's actually a pretty great watch, but I've liked the more modern Disney movies more than most of the 90s stuff I grew up with. I'm gonna try to get a bit more playing in today if I can, I will probably focus on bass since I think that's probably the best overall path this week. Might try to get more practice for rhythm in The Tower just because I love that song so much. I'll probably try to pick more Dickinson solo stuff for my weeks because it eclipses everything Maiden put out in the 90s at the same time. Tyranny of Souls obviously overlaps his return and is in my mind probably the weakest of his solo stuff, but I still like it.

Feel like I should definitely be able to do better for the Encanto song but it's like I hit some sort of wall where I just HAVE to miss the simple notes in the damn song. As I learned in another great Disney movie though, I just gotta keep swimming

@ nlbsmglsk @ someotherbruce - I have not tried to use Linux in a long time but there's some details here - https://github.com/theNizo/linux_rocksmith - on setting up Rocksmith in Ubuntu through Proton and while it looks like it could be various levels of unfun audio routing stuff, the page does say that most of the normal instructions for Rocksmith in Linux do introduce a fair amount of lag but there are some options that can eliminate that. Just thought I would share that just in case you haven't run across it before. @ Lilumina - I would recommend playing in Score Attack when you consistently hit 98-99% accuracy as it's a matter of the tenths or hundreths of a percent that could push you to winning the week. Additionally, if you and someone else score 100% the winner is whomever has the highest score, no score = no win in that case. @ Mikson - I definitely, accidentally fudged up one or two difficulty bits and the Maneskin song definitely fell into the wrong category. Judging song difficulties when one may not be 100% in charge of their faculties is perhaps not always the best option.

@ Mikson Thanks for that, I meant to do that myself but with the troubles posting the week and other things going on it ended up passing my mind. I was going to post some scores from my playtime this morning but I apparently forgot how to play guitar today so I'm not overly invested in embarrassing myself more than I already have. Tomorrow's another day though!

Hey, I'll be posting the new week up in about an hour. Just giving a heads up to everyone to last minute submissions

My hope? I'll remember to actually upload my scores this week >_<

Hey, been out of the game for a bit, mental health is...not fantastic but trying to get back into things I like such as the weekly championship here. I just tried to download the songs and the Skunk Anansie song is showing as removed for me I'll give the others a go though at least.

Didn't get too many chances for guitar this week, work is killing me and my only time to play guitar is to wake up at 4-5am before my wife/kids get up so I get a couple hours in but age is catching up to me. Was super easy to exist on 4 hours of sleep every night in my 20s but as I look at my 40s approaching this year, turns out I might need a bit more sleep to exist. My bad attempts this week: Beginner Lead Advanced Lead MC Lead Beginner Rhythm - The Church MC Rhythm Finished by doing Rhythm path for Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and getting 98% and then felt better about my playing a bit.

Bass kind of week for me David Bowie - Definitely should have 100% this, just ended up plucking the A string instead of the E at one point early in the song. Will probably give this another couple shots later since through a series of unfortunate issues (mainly skill related), I rarely 100% songs. Billie Eilish - Decent song really. Not a fan of waiting half of it to actually play so probably won't play again. (pretty sure if you go to riff repeater and just immediately choose to resume song you start at the beginning and it will track properly, but, meh). Maximum the Horomone - Went into it blind and had no idea what to expect and still got hit out of left field. Second run went much better but I can't slap on my bass (low action + high bridge pickup = dead strings for slapping) or in general, so there's a chunk there I'll only ever get to do so well at. Probably leave this one as is also.

Since the game I'm playing decided it didn't want me to play it anymore I managed to pick up my guitar and bass this morning. (The game is Vampyr and I managed to run into a rare, unfixable bug that is resolved by starting the game over again and hoping I don't run into it once more. Kinda done with it after that). Iron Maiden - Bass Iron Maiden - Alternate Rhythm The Trammps - Bass Been a bit since I played too much bass but I thought I did okay for myself. I'll be upgrading from an AMD FX 8320 to a Ryzen 2600x in a couple weeks, so I hope that smooths out my framerate and any latency issues and might nudge my numbers up just a bit.

Not sure I'll get another chance to play anything this week but managed to get a tiny bit of playing in.
