Also done! Hope you get what you need, I enjoyed the read :D

 

Thanks a lot! 

Thank you all a lot, I've got half my feedback from here, I'm really thankful for everyone who send theirs! I am also working on a lot new functions including tags, visible categories and clickable artists, after that is done I will be posting a hope more articles :). I'm really excited to do this and also make this accessible to a far greater audience. I hope to make a website where you can follow the news of certain artists. Maybe even make it so people can add tour dates and general stuff on bio pages of the artist. I'll see where it all goes, I've got a lot of ideas and new ideas may form and old ones fade, it really is nothing more than a blog now.

 

And also, I want to bring in some guitar related stuff. Been improving on improvisation lately, maybe I'll do some riffs and improvisations in the style of certain bands, whenever I'm good enough doing something like that.

 

On the school side, I am just steps away from the last three points I've got to get. the blogs I wrote just weren't related enough to my study to give the three points, for the rest they saw I had learned from all of this. So now I'm writing on something related to my study, and I've got the points.

Done! Thanks! good read!

 

Good luck!

 

Thanks a lot!

Hello there,

 

It's just a few weeks away from the end of another school year, and it's time for me to get my last grades. For this I made a blog where I write about music, and especially new music. Now, I know that there are a lot of people here that love music, so that's why I take my chances and hope to get some feedback from you guys! 

 

The website I'm talking about is: http://throwarock.nl

 

If you'd take a look around, read an article or two, and then fill out this form: 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEZWcHc5X3Fhdm5SSDdkUWV2dlp6Z2c6MA

 

you would totally rock!

 

For the moderators: I'm aware of the rules, it states that I can't advertise, but I hope you can put this through the whitelist because if I don't get those last grades at school, I have to stop and look for another study. 

 

For everyone else: I really appreciate your time, I can assure you it won't take longer than 5 minutes! The articles on the website aren't very long, and the feedback form isn't long either.

 

Have fun!

One of those coils appears to be missing it's lead.

 

  It's fairly easy to fix if you're competent with a soldering iron.  You will see two grommet-style "eyelets" on the bottom of each pickup.  One has a lead that goes to the other coil.  The other lead is missing. 

 

  You should be able to replace it with any decent, similar  wire.  Using a soldering iron, heat the drop of solder at the eyelet, and push the wire through carefully.  Don't "camp" on the solder too long, or you run the risk of burning the fine coil wire -- it's finer than the hair on your head.

 

  I've been a pickup designer and manufacturer for 15 years.  If you wish, I can do it for you for only shipping costs.  Cheap shipping, if you're int he US. 

 

Hey,

 

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late answer. 

 

Unfortunately I haven't been able to be there since I posted this.

Her dad has tried to wire the thing, with no success, because he probably cut the blue wire that's connecting the two coils in half (even after I told him that probably isn't going to work.) and I'm not even sure if he even looked at a wiring diagram, but anyways.. 

 

thanks for the info, I will look at the bottom of the pickups next time I'm there and see if I can figure out what you mean, if I can't figure out what you mean I'll take some pics. I already looked at each side of the pickup without a wire, but I don't think there was anywhere there, can't recall I looked at the bottom. It also sounds like it's a pretty though job for someone with not a lot soldering experience.

 

And also, thanks for the offer but I have to refuse. I live in Europe so shipping will probably be quite expensive.

Well, I will see if those pickups can be installed, otherwise I would definitely buy that.. Thanks for the tips! I go there tomorrow so will see and keep you guys updates!

Hello people,

 

My girlfriend's got a (not Fender) P-bass pretty cheap, and it hadn't got any pickups.

So I told her I could try and wire it for her, if she buys some pickups.

 

Her dad then bought pickups without a brand or whatsoever, and after checking wiring diagrams I don't think they can be wired into the bass, but I'm not sure. 

 

I've got some pictures of the Pickups:

As you see, the blue wire is the connection of the elements, then there's the yellow wire to connect to the volume control, but all pickups and wire diagrams I've seen have another wire also going to the volume control. My girlfriend's dad says it should work by cutting the wires between the two elements, and wire them via the cavity, but I really don't see how this works.. 

 

Can somebody explain how I should do this or why it isn't possible? My girlfriend is dying to start practicing bass.

 

Here is the cavity of the bass:

Thanks in advance!

Going to Rock Werchter, awesome line-up!

 

also NoFX :)

Works for me.I look forward to improving and moving up. The entire idea of this little competition is really cool, btw

 

I believe it's from the original ubisoft forums, might you be interested in playing another championship with official songs. 

Haven't spent too much time in this weeks championship. Got 70% on the Gary Moore song. Will need some RR and a few playthroughs, I think I can still post a score tomorrow night if I have some time tonight and tomorrow for practicing.

Well, my first run today rocksmith is registering pretty good and got a decent score, next run registering got worse but got a better overall score. Wish I could combine the two together. I missed some of the barré chords at the end due to registering, hadn't missed one the run before. Kinda strange.

 

but anyways, this is it for now:

BTW: Somehow in Scoreattack, i cannot complete kashmir because it's not recognizing my chords (the 12/11  10/9 and so on, you know what I mean  :P)  but on learning a song it's okay. How can this happen?

 

Not really sure if I want to move on to masterclass or stay in intermediate, I feel November Rain is closer to my skill than Kashmir, but I'm not sure. The guitar in Kashmir is actually really awesome. 

I removed that part of the rules as we are very relaxed here and don't want to limit people in playing songs. Some songs are easier to play than others and to be pushed into a difficulty that one may not be comfortable playing in is unfair. Everyone may choose what difficulty they want to play in. If a song is too difficult for someone they aren't forced to play it just because they are in that "level". We will still recommend people to play in certain difficulties though. I myself am playing the MC song this week even though I no where near think of myself as masterclass material. I tend to go up and down depending on the songs that area picked.

I actually like to use the system for up and downlevelling to see where I belong. I understand that the difficulty changes per week but still.. I would like to have that returned in the rules, because I definitely forget the percentages. Maybe you can put that it is just a guide you don't have to follow very strict?If nobody else feels the same as I do then I will write those percentages down for myself, and they don't need to be returned in the rules of course

Well, I took my Gretsch Electromatic to my parents home, it won't work as good as my Yamaha Pacifica with this specific song :(

 

Got a nice score anyway, So pretty happy this week :)

New score for resistance... But the pinch harmonics are playing hard to get :(

that's because they're in the middle of those fast chords, when I do them outside a song I can easily achieve them. 

 

Very nice score man! I'll be attempting to beat it tomorrow.

http://i.imgur.com/lI9aFdr.jpg?1

 

Oh yeah! this was my goal, now I will go up to 97%!

 

I really wonder why I got platinum for this, this wasn't perfect at all.. I thought you only got platinum for perfect playthroughs..

 

also, I got the perfect game (medium) and perfect game (hard) achievements for this.. I didn't even play medium.. or do you automatically unlock this achievement because if you do it perfect in hard, you'll do this too in medium?

Alright, steam uploaded images don't work very well here, made a double post because of that.. I'm sorry..

Thanks! I always get mine from guitarbackingtrack.com, will have a look at the others :)

 

You listed guitarbackingtrack.com twice by the way!

some great scores here guys great work

 

Leaderboard Updated

 

My name is in the leaderboard twice. :)

Alright, after several weeks of saying I WILL post an image, I finally DO post an image. Of course, Muse is totally my kind of genre to play, besides blues rock, garage rock kinda stuff, so I hope to get this up to 95% later this week!

 

Had some serious struggles with strikes though, but RRed some parts until perfect, and I'm really happy with my first result!

 

Finally, totally messed up the pinch harmonics part, I can't do those that fast yet, there's the strike from.

I'm planning on posting a score tonight, in a few hours (if I can het a score without failing sa today, at least). If it won't count anymore, no prob.

I can't seem to post a screenshot, how?? it'll add a screenshot in my post, I click "post" but my post is never posted...?

 

Editing a post and adding the screenshot won't work either, oh well.. than a link only I guess..

 

So I tried the song three times in SA, failed the same part all three times (you'll see the first red marked part, that's where I get the first two strikes..) 

 

I guess I gotta go RR the part a bit before posting my score, wow. Really could use a Non DD version :P

I will upload a screenshot tomorrow, just played it but one little piece wasn't max level anymore.. Can use some practice still.

 

had 81% and 53 streak, with this small block leveled down of course.

You can do it smile i believe in you. Great scores to everyone keep em coming. @@Helderdje Please post a screen shot so i can add the streak don't worry about the %Leaderboard Updated

I will improve today and post a first screen. :)Edit: oops, double post. Excuse me!

I wish that Rocksmith made it easier to see these things but unfortunately its very difficult to tell with the way they set it up. Custom makers can help by setting this up but its still not easily readable.

I miss the finger placement guides while playing a song a lot, sometimes I accidently notice them, but yeah. I wish they were more clear and used alot more.

@@Helderdje The secret to the beginner section is to treat it like barre chords except your single note playing them. Its E5 into B5 for the intro then C5 and then D5

 

Good one! that actually makes sense. thank you :)
