Hostilian

@. It was on full difficulty but might have dropped it. I thought it came up with mastery though? Someone had one with a solid line. I didn't know there was a non-DD version???

Oh my latest metallica score wasnt updated on leaderboards though.

The bends on Muse I've nailed pretty much from the start. No problem with them at all - until today. No idea why.

Was there an update or something @??Didn't notice one.... Oh well.

I'm not even trying the song as I can't hit the first notes for some reason. Really frustrating!  :(

Nope.. My game is no longer recognising the first notes (bends) in Uprising..

That's me stuffed then.. Before today there wasn't a problem for some reason..  :(

Up to 78% with 120 streak on Muse (Lead)..

Not getting much time this week to practice - it needs a lot of time in RR..

edit.. Just had another go and the game is no longer recognising the first bend notes of the song. Comes up as a 'miss'.

GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Is Tapatalk blocked from accessing the site since yesterday? I'm unable to connect.

My browser had a new Ddos check for cforge and wondered if this was related..

Thanks

I'm just calling it 'live' in relation to the tuning. It is a studio recording though.

Link not working for me, @...

I'd, personally, like an alternative tuning (live) version..  ;)

I'm not convinced anyone would 'choose' to play this in plain old Drop D..

I'll settle for my 99.22% on Beginner (I'm not chasing missed notes for the sake of less than a %) so I'll be concentrating on Intermediate. I'll give your version a go!  :)

Thanks. Yep, looking at a few tabs, it looks like there is a bit of a mix of the two.

However, it must be much easier to play with both strings dropped. You just need to not precisely follow some of the prompts in RS. ;)

Been doing some research on the Muse song and I think its the wrong tuning. ie NOT drop D.

It looks like both the E AND A strings are dropped to D and G. Easier to play some of the riffs and chords too.. :)

Check out the band at the 2011 Grammy's on you tube. About 3.17 in, you'll spot it.. Though he is effectively using two guitars.. ;)

First shot of the whole song (Muse - Uprising) on Lead and 70% with 60 streak.. LOL.

A very loooooooong way to go on this one...  :shock:

Getting quickly up to the 15/17 fret needs work, as do the chords and the mini solos on the BGD strings..

Basically the whole damn song, lol..  :mrgreen:

Had another go on DDMD (to feel slightly better after the car-crash that was my Muse attempt)...

edit.. Slightly better.. 99.22% 282 streak..

Keep it up @. Yeah, its difficult (and I don't think I'll get a high score on Intermediate) but I'll learn a lot. :)

That is, if I get some time. ;)

Hmmm. First go and Lead 97% 206 Streak..

Think I'll be giving Intermediate a try as I doubt I'll learn much from this - though it would build up stamina ;)

It's gonna be a while before I post a score on Intermediate as some of those chord changes will take time (maybe about a month)..  :)

Not sure many of the Metallica songs 'work' on S&M. Some are excellent but for others, they probably shouldn't have bothered..

FWtBT would be a good one.. :)

Done all three when out on the piss. 100% lead with 987 streak, rhythm and 23% bass.

Yes, I rock..

Nice tunes this week! :)

No daughter this time.. ;-)

98.73% 224 streak!  :D

Oh well.. Haven't had any time since the weekend for guitar.

Was doing pretty well and they my daughter runs into the room and puts me way off for the last section. Well, that's my excuse anyway! ;)

Some great scores here all week..

Slight improvement in Accuracy to 97.35% with 165 streak - but better in other ways.. Should've had it above 98% grrr.

@@MightyMouse..

Yeah, I know there is a load of info online (and I so make use of it) but I don't think it compares to 1 on 1 (or group) tuition..

There is a group class that starts near where I live in September. Wanted to get some 1 on 1 in before then (once a month should be enough. Weekly I think is a bit of a waste of cash).  :)

Slight improvement..

Out of interest.. How many people competing here take regular guitar lessons?

I'm starting to look for a guitar teacher.. Not sure what to look for.

Depends.. :)
If I'm only missing notes due to them not being recognised (rather than being able to play them), then I'm not too worried about getting to 100%. I can improve on this score though.

I've also got a wife and daughter to keep happy, so that limits my guitar time, these days. ;)

Slight update.. Happy enough with this..

I have a few undetected power chords and a section or two to work on but looking ok so far..

@. I found my note detection better when moving from 10 to 11-56.. It's still not perfect - though I've noticed that if I forget to switch my guitar to the correct setting (rhythm/lead) it does make a difference (more missed notes)..

I'm not a death metal fan so won't be giving Intermediate a go..  :)

Cheers

Jazz III and I've a Dunlop multi pack just to try out different types. I dont go below .88.

@@Collision, beginner isn't too bad. I gave it a run through riff repeater and it 'clicked' for me.. You'll get the pattern in no time. :)

I just have the issue where some of the power chords aren't detected; which is a pain.

Line 6 Spider IV (75) and a Line 6 HD500x.

Gives me plenty of options!  :)

I enjoyed last week's Intermediate song as I found it did push me..

Only played JBG a few times but I know this song is beyond me at present.. It's only been 8 months! :)

This is where I got (and boy was it messy)!!

I'll probably go back to my wife's suggestion - Black Sabbath - until next week.

Good luck all!

Jonny - 64% and 64 streak (2nd play)..

It's a bit out of my league at the moment. Just too damn fast!

I'll give it a go (out of fun, rather than competition) but will hopefully enter next week again!  :)
