I have realised what my hand position problem was. Somehow I'd adopted a really horrible habit of resting the tip of my thumb on the pickup when I usually anchor it with the pad of my thumb... thus adding that extra inch inadvertently and having less surface area to grip without slipping off. Played a bunch of songs again that I'd DL'd and red X'd 6 months ago with some pretty good results (pretty pleased with this one http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731456551 it's really good fun :) and was my first play through since I was messing it up ages ago... huzzaah for the thumb fix and the evident improvement.)

 

Played through Transylvania again. REALLY Enjoying that track, for some reason I didn't even notice the purple arpeggio bits  and despite having a shittier score I did actually play it much better than my first run (if that makes sense) My bad, arpeggio complaint was about the RHCP's... I got confused from the giddyness.

 

MC? (I think... is it?... I'll check in a mo and edit if I'm wrong, I'm a bit giddy at the moment about the thumb revelation.)

I think I improved on the accuracy at least :)

 

Cheers Fripples, Morty, Dr.Gamut and Missis S for the encouragement / advice. I thought I was on the verge of a burnout :) x I very much love coming here to play with you guys :)

Gamutube :)

Ok, will do @@Mortalo :)

 

Sorted that screenshot out. No idea why it was linking to the Vacation one instead of dire straits... it was the EXACT same link I reposted  :blink: I'm going to lay low for a few days and practice my butt off as prescribed by Dr.@@Gamut. Try sort the weird thumb/finger, growth/shrinkage affliction that's occurred.

See yous innabit. Sooner if I've got something relevant to post.

 

You're a minute too late :) it's been edited :P

 

You've still got two Vacations in there. :D

 

You need to re-do the Straights one.

dagnabbit :( I'll sort it later. On my phone cooking tea right now... incidentally @@missis sumner, have you figured out that purple bit or is it just something I should ignore and just play the notes? :)

You're a minute too late :) it's been edited :P

So bugger all got done last week, 2 birthdays, work, school sports day, party, breaking up for the summer holidays and another party today, Madonna had made me truly blue because my first attempt was my best score and I just can't seem to get my plucking hand working properly... either my thumb's grown and inch or my plucking fingers have shrunk and for some reason my hand keeps falling off my rest spot (wish I could float pluck like Victor W :( .)

 

Anyhoo, some score's minus RHCP because I can't figure out what's going on with the chords even when I pause the screen in RR... there is a pale purple hue around the notes it's really off putting and I can't figure out if the bracketed notes are the same fret or open string, mostly that purple hue is really messing with my rubbish eyes... I've not seen the purpley colour before in-game, does it mean something? Am I ill?

MC: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=730266318 Fun but really frickin' hard for me to play in my current state. I've hit a wall which I think is why I'm struggling even with easy tracks. I need to snap out of it soon but I dunno if a rest will do me any good or just to plough on through the horrible habits I seem to have picked up. I have no idea why my hand positioning feels so strange  :blink:

@@Rodman You know my taste for basslines so well. I like this bass line A LOT! :D

Some silly fluffs here and there resulting in a multiplier break here and there but I'll 100% it I think. Funz0rz! :D

squoze in a very quick check just to see if the highway had notes on it, and it does! Legit Leg-end status upheld @@Alex360 Thank you! :)

@@NoonyDeloony, It's dangerous to go alone, take THIS

amazing :) I will have to try it in a few when I get back from the school run (aka pokemon hunting) Thanks in advance!  You're a leg-end!

Definitely don't have the custom elsewhere... I have the original cassette somewhere but nope, not the CDLC. I've tried renaming, unpacking/repacking to no avail. Lamb of God was exactly the same and again, didn't have multiple DL's of that either. :(

Still no joy with the Madonna track :( Similar issue as I had with Lamb of God CDLC. No note highway, naffink! Just empty basement with amplifiers crying soundwave tears of silent sadness. Tried Fripple's unpack/repack method and that doesn't seem to work either. back to some Rush and Coheed I reck', this week :)

Noons, you gotta get that Madonna thong to work, bass is great for you!

 

Wtf @@Rodman o.O next it'll be conical braziers and legwarmers and I canne pull that shiz off :D .... I will see what I can do though there will definitely be no video. Poo OS still :(

My view on MC this week:

 

These 2 are a couple of my fav's to rock about to at the Hotel Cali' when I get a chance :D.

giving MC a go now.

feel free to add 3 songs. (or was it 4?)

 

It is four.

 

Or at least I've always been selecting four… :)

 

 

 

Oh dear... I think I've added an extra 6 to SSL when I have 3 already there... it's 9.

 

9 I say! :)

I'm a bit less shit at this now but not sure I'll have enough time to improve... it'll do but by no means a winning post.

I DL'd Superstition about 6 months ago and tried playing it then but I couldn't. Couldn't get through score attack (I tend to play my first try in score attack to gauge if I have the capacity or the will to riff repeat the song and be bothered to learn it)... Felt brave today so had another go...

 

My first score:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724953824

 

Second:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724953764

 

Third (by this time I'm a bit knackered but improved :) and no need to Riff Repeat! Yay me! *I don't care if it's not my category, I was shit at this song 6 months ago :)* ) : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=724950766

 

Think I'll leave it there and get back to Ghost :)

My OS is doing shit things again :(

Fun. Needs a LOT of practice but July is really busy for me so it's unlikely I'll be able to commit much time to playing bass this week, Already 3 days in to champs and this is the only song I've played, ONCE at that. Mehhh *mutters something about first world problems*

As much as I love the very cute Vulfpeck track, I have succumbed to the plight of little time and hectic week. Too much to complete remains incomplete before deadlines, work, school fayres, school reports (My kids are fecking awesome) my better halfs' birthday (Today! Wish him a happy birthday! He's younger than me by 15 whole months so that's a bonus :) .) and lastly... I'm just not quite in Vulfpeck's league for shifting that quick without committing the song to memory... which brings me back to original plight of not enough time in the frickin' day. Meal out later and a few drinky-poos so for the now I'll duck out until Monday :) Congrats to the soon to be winners. See you next week :)

Have not really been playing any of the champ songs this week, when I've had time I've just been playinga bunch of songs from about a year ago that I couldn't play to see how far I've come, pretty much nailing a lot of them, bested my high score on Mother may I and a few others... I highly recommend going back to old songs you struggled with a year ago as it really boosted my morale to try Billy again, I played through it once more today at 80% speed to remind myself of the tune then busted out SA hard. It seems that my speed's getting better, could have done with a more impressive accuracy but I'm happy with the 700k improvement to the score :)

Really? Cool pianist wanking :)

@@RoR just play keep sucking until you don't suck as much and enjoy. .. we will be kind to you, don't worry! And welcome !

Beginner: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=711154973 not bothered about chasing the 100% It's an alright song, pretty fun for beginners because it's quick with little blippy flourishes here and there, not sure how to rate this as 2 years ago me would've probably ranked it about a 3 or 3.5 but now it's a 0.1... I'll go with the more skeptical score of 2 year ago me.

 

Masterclass: 

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=711155047

 

Played it once on Riff repeater to get rid of that horrendously long intro ( admittedly that's some excellent guitar wanking but c'maan!? i wanna play too! ) Went into score attack and got that, most of my issue with the song is just down to my technique not being relaxed enough, I'll need to practice this a few times, I had the pace ok but because I was too tense in the fretting hand I messed up a lot because of cramp. 7 ... P.S. Don't do weights before playing this song, that adds a somewhat extra painful dimension of hurt to the experience. 

 

No advanced score canne be arse with that song... I appreciate it's a cute band but that's a particularly annoying track. :)

Not exactly a proper post but a video from olden times, just for the now... will work on Master moding this maybe if I get time. One of my favourites to play :)

STP: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=707532881

 

Pretty good fun is the STP track, don't really know how to rate it as I was shit the first play round then I kinda tripled my score the second time round and it sounded a little less like hitting my strings with a big foam hand. I am able to play the MC... sort of. I underestimated how difficult it was by only RRing the first 3rd of the song and thinking "Y'I've got this dowwwn!" before getting to midway in score attack and it all went Pete Tong... "Bottom E string joining in?! There was no hint of this occurring!?" So I need to practice more on that. It's an amazing song though :)
