"I just keep tryin' ta get a little better

 a little better than before"

@@Rodman, I think I'm getting credit for someone elses skills.  My highest on Oasis bass is this 98.76%, and the spreadsheet has me at 99.75%.  I think that 99.75% belongs to @@Telboy.

This was a pretty fun bass part. 

 

 

And small improvement on lead.  I think I missed every double string bend.  And the other bends.  I suck at bends.

Lots of RR on What's Up rhythm.  It was driving me nuts cause I was missing so many, then when I slowed it down I saw how much I was "mumbling" my chords.  Cheating one to get to the next, skipping the open strums, etc.    

I somehow missed a What's Up rhythm screenshot.  I feel like this should be easy but I seem to miss chords at random.  

This was a pretty fun bass part. 

I got two strikes right off the bat and was sweating it the whole song!

A little What's up....I love this song.

Lead, 92%.  My son played with me on bass.

My son love Eye of the Tiger by survivor...he loved playing this on bass too.  I did less well  on rhythm with 89%.

I think I forgot to post my try on advanced bass.  Pretty enjoyable to be honest.  Hope I don't have to explain the lyrics to the kids.

Spent a bunch of time in RR and this seems to be about the best I can do. Y'all make it look too easy!  

Took a stab at Int. Lead.  RS guy says excellent performance, but I'm bringing up the rear with an 85%.

 

I sometimes try turning my guitar upside-down. Might help.

 

Something like this?

Supposedly the Navaho always make one mistake in every rug, because perfection would invite the god's anger.  I'm certainly in the clear!

Always manage to screw up a little.

 

Some first run scores from the weekend.  I've been too preoccupied with finding new songs for the contest to post these I guess.

Bass

Lead

Rhythm

@@Rodman I think my score of 97.46 got put on the intermediate lead list for Smooth Criminal.  I believe that was my best for Sinners, I think my best Smooth Criminral score was 90% or something.  (Edit: it was worse than I thought, only 80%) It doesn't change beginner lead points, but @@ZeroPingNZ should get the intermediate points, not me.  I certainly didn't earn them.

I had this issue with my guitar early on.  I watched a couple "how to set up your guitar" videos and tried to set my guitar up properly.  That helped a great deal for me.  If you play the open string then the 12th fret and it sounds out of tune it needs some intonation adjustment.  

It is really infuriating that rocksmith doesn't recognise my D string 12th fret half the time. Could've been 100% :(

Update: had the idea to switch back to the A string and play fifth fret instead of D 12th. Went a lot better but still had a couple detection errors. Also I am technically in the beginner class for lead, but can't be bothered to tune down so here's the intermediate song instead: 

Thanks for taking the time and explaining it to noobs like me.  I know there is a rules document and such, but I wasn't sure which parts were still in effect.

So one more noob question, where there are two songs like this week in Beginner Bass, which one is counted for points?

 

 

 

 

I actually added a few rock songs to the selection list but they have never been  selected... guess I'll need to read the rules.

 

You are just unlucky.  And all your songs are all in intermediate and that is where most of the song suggestions are.  So chances of getting songs in that class is lower.

 

Yep, will do!  Like I say, I downloaded 200 songs so as I find good ones I will add them.  It has made me realize how hard it is to pick beginner level songs!  Again, you organizers do a fine job!

@@diceslinger - feel free to add up to 10 songs of your choice to Song Selection list!!!!

 

Please check for quality and rate the difficulties, yes chosen randomly.

I appreciate the work that goes into selecting the songs, but I too would welcome a bit different style of music sometimes.  To that end I just downloaded 200 CDLC that I'm taking notes on which ones are playable, difficulty, etc.  Hopefully I can add some suggestions based on that. 

Again, I respect the work that the organizers do in choosing songs, a big thanks to them.  I'd like to help if I can.

I'm concerned with the mods love affair with thrash and speed metal. Don't get me wrong, they're cool songs but it gets hard to fully playthrough them because my hands start to burn

 

 

@@ZeroPingNZ, As someone who strives to chase your scores, I understand the struggle.  Keep fighting the good fight!  

I think it's the 1st time I'm able to play intermediate lead in Score Attack and not fail :) However - what do the purple bars mean?

 

If 10,000 monkeys strummed on 10,000 guitars they too might get lucky to get a 97%.  I think I just had an accidental good run, but I'll take it.

Wow...progress on the lead part for the contest on a Sunday night.  Usually I can't top my sight read for half the week, so this is a nice change.

A little bit of lead

My daughter tried some bass with me.

Then on to rhythm

First runs on Bass.  Since you asked I'm providing some feedback on difficulty.

I would agree this a 2

This one was a bit harder, 2-3

I've played the guitar part on smooth Criminal before.  It is half "I can't believe they want me to play that!" and half "Wow I can't believe I played that!"  I feel like it is a 5 difficulty at least.

Again...don't blink!

a small improvement, don't blink or you will miss it.
