  1.  

    I checked the search option but couldn't find an answer to this.

     

    The site has TLS enabled but not by default. If you put https:// before the domain (e.g. "https://customsforge.com")then you'll see that the connection is now secure  smile.png

     

    For the record, if a website says "not secure" it doesn't necessarily means there's any problem, just that the connection isn't encrypted.

     

    Thanks for clearing that up!

  2. I just keep a different guitar setup for each tuning that I play, haha. Too bad I didn't know about this option before I bought a ton of guitars! 

     

    Ah who am I kidding? You can never have enough axes laying around. :lol:

    What do you guys think?

     

    Norwegian Black metal, \m/\m/ 

     

    Personally I like it a lot, only one song I am kind of "meh" on. 

     

    A lot of the black metal purists don't like it, but most of them stop listening to Dimmu through the years as the line up changed.

     

    There is quite a bit of Dimmu on the custom forge too! Check out their songs on here they are all really fun to play. Maybe someone will upload some new songs off of this new album, I have the links to several tabs already if any charter is interested on a side note.

  4. Pretty Impressive, but he looks like an idiot, and would look way cooler playing the guitar standing up correctly. A guitarist as proficient as Dimebag Darrel could easily play what Jeff did in that video, and he could play it normally on the guitar and jump around stage the whole time he did it, piss drunk.

     

    Also your video reminded of the style of playing the slide guitar like the great legendary David Gilmour.

     

  5. As a consumer and fan of VR I wish they would/could implement this somehow. I know most wouldn't but I would buy a special guitar if it showed what I was fingering and my handshapes in VR. It could def help those with stage freight I would think if the crowd looked remotely present and realistic.

  6. Only chords I know from muscle memory are power chords, and the occasional random E minor or G... Seems to get me by just fine for most metal songs. Lol.

     

    I'm speaking of hand shapes without looking at the neck of course... when I try to solo I or play individual single notes I look at what I am doing. 

     

    But yeah, as stated, practice, practice, practice. In my limited experience anything or any song you play enough can be learned to a point that you just play it without thinking if you practice it enough. That includes of course, hand shapes.

  7.  

    You can do whatever you feel like doing, there's no obligation to play them in anyway.

    But my ears say to me a Chord does not sound the same if you pick it from the thinnest string to the thickest one, than if you do it from the thickest one to the thinnest. Or maybe thats bad fretting or picking on my part  :wacko:

     

     

    Depends on the song honestly and how it was originally played/recorded. For instance, making an F5 shaped power chord, then doing all down strokes will sound more "chunkier" then up/down/up/down. But then you also have galloping picking. And that has it's own distinct sound too. 

     

    As a general guide, most metal that has a lot of "chugging" or "chugs" will have mostly all down strokes (ie: Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura, ect.). While metal like iron maiden is a great example of having a lot of galloping, because it sounds like a horse galloping. There are many ways to "gallop", but the standard gallop picking pattern which can be done on single strings OR power chords is down(micro pause), down, up, down. The micro pause is basically created by the time it takes to get your pick back up to the low E string without picking or strumming any other stings on the way back up that first rotation.

     

    Then you have picking up/down/up/down/up/down/up/down in a rapid succession. This is called tremolo picking, and makes a very cool "humming" sounds when done correctly with an open unmuted string or chord. This is used a lot in Black Metal acts such as Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon or Mayhem. Tremolo picking can also be performed on just one string also, muted or unmuted and is used in a TON of Death Metal acts such as Deicide, Vile, or Vital Remains as examples. 

     

    Disclaimer I am hardly a pro(less than 3 years in), and probably not even a competent player by most measures, but all I play is metal, and mostly rhythm, so that is all I can really speak on. But just experiment and play around with different picking and you will start to learn how the sound of the songs you listen too are performed, mostly just by the sounds. I can definitely hear the difference between up and down picking. I too prefer to down stroke a single chord that is left to ring out, but I see a lot of guys go out of their way to strum a chord up to achieve the different sound. Most of the professional players I like, hardly strum a single chord up, mostly down, but maybe it's just because I play metal.

  8. Since the remastered release there was the 100% bug fix, I remember using it at one time, however I haven't downloaded any old (pre remastered) songs in a while, but now that I have I cannot remember how or find it using the forum search for the particular fix..

     

    Also I noticed there is no fast easy to find links to this fix or the initial CLDC broken from remastered fix anymore. There used to be one on the banner however it seems impossible to find anymore, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

     

    Also maybe consider putting it on the front home page somewhere so idiots like me can't miss it :P

  9. @@magnoalberto if you don't see the CDLC, this is likely because you don't own Cherub Rock DLC, this is needed for any CDLC to show up in the list.

     

    @@Ragnar1981 you can filter to have only your favorite and sort into that list.

     

    @@SlaterTot8 i'm trying to help but if you are unwiling to still give me the exact name of the file you download or any screenshot (or the size of the dll file) i can't do a lot more than asking question that seems to relevent to me. Seems like users also have issue because of a bad steam installation. you can always do a verification of the games files via steam to be sure that the game isn't corrupted but at one point, it's gonna be hard to find out what's going on in your case when it's working for 99% or our user without any other step than getting the dll and putting it in the right place...

     

    @@Riy did you try to brought that up to Ubi support? just don't talk about CDLC and you'll be fine and probably get a way better answer than anything we can provide here about that kind of issue...

     

    @@DegoLocc and @@BoomSoMuch It will be integrated into CFSM once the fix is stable and can work in any situation we can think of, for now it's only via the CLI app inside the toolkit and i suggest that you wait if you are afraid of fucking up something.

    What if we don't use the CFSM? I always just dl the track and install it myself and play my favorites through rocksmith. Should I be using the CFSM?>

  10. So I read through this and am still lost at how to fix the 100% bug... it's something we need to do on our end to each song?

     

    And if that is the case can someone link to a place where those of us retarded people(who don't know shit about computers and can barely get customs to work BEFORE remastered ruined everything), can semi easily get back up and running with simple brain dead step by step instructions for idiots like me?

  11. @@DegoLocc Note that it was intentional on the dev part, it's only a side effect of having to compile a new exe. The dll didn't have the new address for the function that needs to be bypass it's not like they put any extra protection or tried to fuck with us by completely changing how the system work.

    @@firekorn That's good to hear, so it should be a semi simple fix?

     

    Edit, seen the fix was in place, awesome!
