I actually love Riff Repeater plus slowdown. When I first got Rocksmith, I hadn't played very seriously in quite a while and was very rusty (plus I had never been much good to begin with). I found the normal "easymode" bass songs like Pour Some Sugar on Me and Black Magic, and knocked the rust off with those.
Then I wanted to try to do something more challenging, and RS actually gave me a mission to try More than A Feeling by Boston. I tried it and even with sections on lower difficulty it was very hard for me to make any progress at it, but I was enjoying the challenge of it. Some parts I just wasn't getting AT ALL, so I tried out the slowdown feature. I ended up RR'ing may way through the entire song over the course of about 3 days with many hours of practice each day, first going from 65% speed and low difficulty, then getting up to full difficulty on each section, and then finally doing each section at full difficulty with accelerate on to speed it up until I could play each section at least once all the way through at 100% speed and difficulty.
I put a whole lot of time into that song, but it has become one of my favorites now; kind of personal evidence of how well Rocksmith works and how far I've come. I still don't think I've ever played it with perfect 100% accuracy all the way through, but I've come really close and even on a very casual playthrough now I'll almost always get better than 98%. Never would have gotten there without slowing it down and getting my fingers used to the song, then slowly accelerating it up to full speed. That same system has become my standard way to figure out any new song that really throws me for a loop; although these days I usually max any DD if the song has it straight away and just RR from slow speed with accelerate.
RR is a must if you want to improve your skill.
A important rule is to focus on the hard parts. If you have trouble in 5% of the song that is what you should practice.
I also use the speed control a lot in some of the fast lead parts. Its the best way to get it done.
And trust me, already had some first places on MC class, RR is a must.

Well i was never a Ramone follower. I know then mostly by other bands that they influenced.
But i love this song. I once heard a band making a cover of it and went looking for it. What a great punk song.
This is a song i play once in a while in Rocksmith and now i decided to play all the arrangements. And this was fun, First because i plug in my bass for the first time with Rocksmith. I actually rarely play bass. I have a bass for more than 10 years and still has the original strings. Second because i played the rhythm arrangement and almost by incident i checked the ubi leaderboard after ir. Well, i got a first place. So amazing. To get a first place in ubi leaderboard besides playing the song well you must be lucky. This is because its impossible for the song to be charted 100% correcly according to the original for you to have more perfect notes. Well, a first place""" wow.
So here are the screenshots.
Hope you like to play this song as much as me. Easy but so powerful.

Well i am taking some Holidays and couldn't play guitar for more than a week.
I was dreaming about playing two songs, Sharp Dressed Man and Coast to Coast.
I love Coast to Coast for more than 2 decades but never played it. Only a few licks of the Rhythm part now and then.
I was very happy when i saw this song was chosen.
So here is my first post. I hope i can play the guitar a few more times this week.

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.Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You can improve a lot with rocksmith as long as:
You need to play alone the songs by memory without the game.
You play the songs in master mode.
In master mode sometimes don´t bother playing note by note. Just make it sounds good with same variations.
And this is my word to you!

fast... too fast...
>80% goal achieved.
Fun to play but not my Metallica favorite song...

Its what I call the yips..... stagefright.... I wish I could just get in the zone and play all the way through without worrying about getting a good score, then losing focus.
When I'm in the zone, I play much better, almost good even. Time slows down (relatively), and playing is effortless and flows better than a drug high. But when trying to better your result or video for Utube...... I stress out and flub notes...
Anyways, great work all. Extra props to you and Motive for almost perfect runs.
its hard to relax.
We are human. Sensitive human...

@Mr Pi Cool, quickly did it. You is awesome. Congratulations :)
Want be like you. All week worked on a song. 4 finger with callus, damn bends. :)
Thing I became a little better this week challenge . Thanks friends.
Hope next a song wiil good and interesting ,a like this and song by Amorphis for beginner.
just be yourself.
I play for 23 years.
For a long time i called myself a guitar collector cause i haven´t played much.
I play rocksmith for fun and it helped me playing again almost daily.
I wish something like this existed when i start playing. It helps a lot.
23 years ago everybody was hiding their guitar secrets. It was very hard to learn.
Now its still hard to play well but you have great communities witch help a motivate a lot.
Rock on!

Not any time this week til now.
Went to the Jovi song as i don´t like the MC Song
.
May go up to 99% ...

Those bends in the higher string are really hard...
-
Back in black is harder than i though.
I miss a lot of notes around all the song. Even in the riff
Maybe its the custom, maybe its me...
-
My new baby arrived. A ten years old Fernandes Monterey.
I always wanted to hace a susteiner!
i won´t have much time today and tomorrow for some back in black.
And know iam more into infinite sustain
-
A litle bit better.
I should be able to play SA now.

After some RR.
This is another one i will go over 95
Its a timeless rock song
-
i am done for this week.
Tried a couple of times and just equaled my acuracy.
The fist part of the solo kills me. The bends...

Well not that good @. i restarted two of free times to get it done.
Besides that the rhythm is not that different from the lead. I play the lead for months once in a while
