Meh

And Meh. For G&R the music isn't bad, but something about the voice just grates the hell out of my nerves.  Not to complain, but it is what I do best.

I hate christmas same as last year, so little more than a sight read. That is all.

Slide entrails are delicious. Just saying. Back to your regularly scheduled broadcast.

2 notes on this week, might be able to get 100%. First note, drop pedal makes a noticeable delay on the note that throws me off just enough and I can't adjust pitch based on what I hear on my strings. 2nd note F- the slide that comes at the end, my timing is off on one of them every time even if I am 100%ing the rest of the song.  Slide, I will defeat you and feast upon your entrails.

Yeah for an easier feeling Bass part this week, boo for me having to use the detuner.  I can't correct my mistakes as quick.  I notice I fix a lot of mistakes of where my hands land by hearing the note from the strings and adjusting. Fun sight read though, I'll have to see how far I can push the score. then see how miserably I can fail the next level up. Caught the screen shot as it was fading out.

--Wren 

Note to self: If you practice a riff wrong for a week by jotting down the wrong amount of notes, it's really hard to play them right once you start up rocksmith again. Guess the score is in the 90's at least.

--Wren

Phhhhh... done.

 

Upleveling news:

@@wrentheseedling is upleveling to Adv Bass - congrats!

@@Rodman Thanks for the level up.  I knew I should have been sandbagging this week.  Time to see what kind of damage I can do to my self esteem in advanced now I guess.

Why are you guys making an old guy work so hard when I'm back into the swing of things.  Well here you go. Two intermediates this week and the Metal Heart one I was having huge problems with, couldn't figure out for the life of me why I kept missing notes. Yup my tuning was off just enough. Maybe I'll peek at the advance tune a bit. Or I've been promising myself that I'll start learning Longview . . .

Thanks for keeping this rolling all!

Computer went boom. New computer mostly back up and running this morning. Hopefully I'll have rocksmith up this afternoon. See you all again soon.

Think I'll see how high I can get the advanced tune this week.

One note somewhere in there I keep missing.

Worked 2 weeks of overnight shifts, but here's something so I get a play in.

Surprised I got plays in this week.

Not really much time this week, so basically sight reads. Through the advanced piece I did play twice once with a pick and then without, I kept the without score. I really should practice more with a pick, but it feels really clunky on bass, where it feels better on guitar for me due to string spacing I think. Well first up Intermediate.

Then beginner because it was funish.

And then advanced because I didn't like the intermediate song.  Turns out I didn't like the advanced one either. Not a bad chart or anything, just things that sound like hair metal to me just give me the cringes. I'll keep playing them though, since they do help me improve.

--Wren

Might have to drop pedal this one, the f's aren't registering unless I barely fret the string, so I'm getting a ton of extra misses there.

On the other hand I think I might be able to 100% the real gone thing before the new week.

--Nice to be back from time away, thanks for keeping this thing going all

---Wren

Well here's my end of week run.

Well here's my sight read of the intermediate bass part this week.  I think you guys just like torturing my poor pinky finger.

Definitely not my kind of music there. But I managed a couple play throughs.

Hey @PinKushin, I'll make you a deal.  I'll mention you in each of my intermediate bass posts with a score for this next week's challenge, if you'll do the same and we can duke it out for a week.  Should be a pretty normal practice week for me this week so should be a good run.

As always thanks to everyone that keeps the championship up and running,

--Wrenth

The A7X seemed much easier to me, the alien ant farm I had problems getting my hands to fit on the low e frets.

Pondering. Can't wait to see this week.

Not a horrible idea, guess I get another week to try to make something of Europa and see if it's time to move up a rank.

--Wrenth

Also ran a couple tries at Europa, my pinky and the 4th fret do not agree with one another especially not at speed, might try it by shift up for the single note, but I don't know if I can move my hand fast enough. Meh

--Wrenth

Vacation was too hot to practice until today.  But I got in some good practice and pulled out my first 100% on an intermediate ranked song.

Cheers all!

--Wrenth

Yeah about time for a vacation, let's see what scores I can get with vacation time.

I'll stream the progress as often as possible don't expect much.  Feel free to stop by and say hi.

--Wren

Looks like my score last week got missed.  It was close to the line though, was it after it was closed?
