Way-ay! Canny Geordie bugger! Ahem. Thanks for the awesome tutorial, mate. Resolution and audio perfect. Also very clear to understand and follow and inspires me with a bit of confidence to try to do one on my own. The only bit that looks really hard is the vocals creation. Cant believe you have to do the whole song without a mistake or have to do it again. Now I understand why I see CDLC without vocals! A shame there isnt a better piece of software that allows you to apply the text in segments,,,, Appreciate your time and effort in doing this.

This issue has been well documented on RS forums. Unfortunately, the official RS forum has a lot of fanboys who seem unwilling to believe Ubisoft could have possibly slipped up here, and usually typical advice tends to be that 'you are fretting too hard' or it is your intonation etc etc. Whether this is true I cannot say as I am no expert, but I do recommend checking your sound settings for the RS adaptor cable because it is always set at 17 for 'listening' and needs to be pushed up and saved. It may help alleviate the problem, but will require you to do this everytime you play as it resets. Anyway I feel your pain. I have even been told I made a poor performance on some of the easiest songs in the game because RS wouldnt recognise some notes I played. I sincerely hope Ubisoft take note for any future iteration.

HI all, OK well I will bump up the Aussie quotient. I was initially born in Oldham, near Manchester, UK (Hi James!) but moved to New South Wales - Australia back in 99, after a 10 year stint in London during my 20s when I worked at London Heathrow airport. I recalled buying an electric in my 20s from a catalogue and kind of struggled to even tune the thing. Back then, in the 90s the Internet was not awash with tutorials etc so I ended up taking it to a music store where the counter clerk probably ripped me off by telling me the guitar was so crap it would probably never tune and then took it "off my hands" for a couple of tenners. Fast forward to a few years back, living in Sydney, Australia, and finishing my Masters degree at the age of 43. I kinda like keeping myself learning something new but was over studying and wanted to do something fun. So my wife surprised me with a "well done for getting through 5 years of study" present and got me a Squier entry level Strat and a copy of RS1. I loved it, but after a while started to plateau, and became a little disconsolate about the fact my fat short fingers seemed totally unable to manage many of the chords being thrown at me. Barre chords seemed to require an extra joint in my fingers, and even power chords were painful to reach. Then I noted how I liked mostly playing my top strings and for a change, hit the bass emulation and was hooked. Shortly after I sold my Squier and got a Jaguar Bass and find that although I still have plenty of learning to do, I can actually play many basslines - and it is exhilirating. Many a time I have a few stressful work days, I can pick up my bass and bash out a Pearl Jam song or similar on RS2014 and pretty soon, I am grinning and revisiting that feeling I had when I was in my 20s, living it up wild and responsibility-free. (As an aside, I was recently chastised by an old feller who said my 'short fingers' excuse was just that - an excuse and others have persevered despite similar - and worse - difficulties. I thought about it and am considering having another go, when I can afford a cheap 6 string. You US guys get guitars waaayy cheaper than we do in AUS! :) ) Anyway, back to my tale. I introduced a work colleague to RS2014 (and CustomsForge) and he is learning a 6 string Epiphone. So we occasionally hook up and play a multiplayer and it is the closest I ever came to that dream of being in a band (I so miss that event feature from RS1). I also have been getting my 7 year old daughter into playing the arcade games on my bass and we may well be putting her in for guitar lessons next year ( so no doubt she'll be shaming me with crazy riffs in a few years time!). And maybe.....maybe....one day I will get on a stage and play some numbers with a few friends. We'll see. Until then, I will keep playing for fun, and I am trying to learn how to make customs so I can start contributing to the great work on here..... All the best guys, David

Hey Snake, TYVM for doing the lengthy tutorial. I havent had chance to watch it properly yet (at work currently) but it looks like it might finally get me to understand everything I need to do. I truly admire the effort and generosity of all those who work to create custom DLC, and am keen to do some myself, to get some 90s indie rock stuff up. Your own effort making the tutorial to help those of use less gifted is greatly appreciated. Cheers ravey
