I was starting off from 70.4 % in lead, 87.4 % in rhytm and 90 % in bass in R U Mine with like 10 play throughs in lead and rhytm, but it turns out I wasn't playing at full difficulty. I had been letting dynamic difficulty dictate my progress. So "first" goes at full difficulty in SA: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week254/week254lead_beg01.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week254/week254rhytm_beg01.png

Tried to clutch an improvement to the Dio's rhytm track in order to win ZeroPingNZ, but someone else had beat us both and in my attempts I kept hitting ~95.5 % anyways :( Anyways, let's start with this bass again. I'm sure it's technically easier than last week's bat country, but very hard to remember which version of the fret 7-9 fingering sequence is coming. It keeps randomly changing. Same issue applies to rhytm and lead tracks if I remember correctly. Soon we'll see! http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week254/week254bass_adv01.png

Darn good job! Unfortunatelly I don't have time to try and catch you :D

After restarting the song like a gazillion times and finishing the song couple of times with 1-2 notes missing, I finally got the perfect run. My heart was racing so fast at the last couple of phases. I didn't want to mess up the main riff at the very end :wacko: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_int06.png Feeling satisfied!

Purple bar means that you barely made it. Missed too many for it to accept it as a good performance, but not enough to strike it.

Surprisingly enough, I made progress. Getting more and more consistent at the clean strumming part. But that fast barre part at the first and second phase always gives me a strike or two. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_bc04.png

Does this count? Although I'm more than likely to play it again and hopefully progress :) Although I guess this is a bit pointless, since I do want to stay in intermediate league in rhytm. Avenged Sevenfold just happens to be my Metallica.

Nice one! Our overall difference is now 0.92 %. Very tight My thoughts exactly

Guess not http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int210.png

Stuck at 95.08 % http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int205.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int204.png I know I'm participating in advanced bass class, but I'm not fully satisfied with the missing note in this one: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_int03.png

progress. I think I got 97.25 + 94.29 now. Back to grinding Dio. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int105.png

I can practically taste that diamond pick. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv06.png

+0.11 % improvement. I struggle with the D# -> C# -> D# slide part. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_beg07.png

Lead progress. Still need to figure out that slide part at the middle of the song. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_beg04.png After this attempt, it started going worse and worse :P http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_beg05.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_beg06.png

Some progress: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv05.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int203.png

First goes on rhytm: Couple of things to work on these in the riff repeater before hitting the score attack mode. The tone in this one sounds bad. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int101.png Really like the main riff in this one. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int201.png I think Bat Country could have been played as rhytm as well, perhaps at advanced level? http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_bc01.png

Just to humiliate myself, I tested the remaining lead parts. I have no way of doing this solo anytime soon! I could improve on the main riff part though. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_adv01.png And this one definitely lived up to its name: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_mc01.png

Lead: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_beg01.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_int01.png

More salmon bass: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv02_phases.png - Bat Country phase progress, and slightly better score. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv02.png I think the song was too fast for the game to detect all the misses or wrong keys. -_- http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_mc01.png Time to move on to the easier stuff: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_int01.png - first try Missed a note, but I'll take it for now: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_int02.png And of course I missed a note in here as well: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_beg201.png And missed the last slide twice in a row in this one: http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_beg101.png After repeating the slide couple of times in the riff repeater, I nailed it \o/ (the first one had a better score than this though!) http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_beg103.png

Let's start with the song that I play a lot on rhytm http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv01.png Oh and also, I noticed I had no score on bass "league".

I don't want to start my lead career in advanced category :/ But the Advanced song felt a lot easier than beginner or intermediate. Didn't even bother screenshotting my ~60 % accuracy on Body and Blood (I even got downgraded during that chorus). http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week252lead_beg02.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week252lead_adv02.png Anyways, that's a start...

Rhytm time. Close enough. My strumming hand was pumped after that one! http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week252rhytm_beg01.png Nice groove. Need to clean up the D5, E5, Emaj chord parts. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week252rhytm_int04.png

Here goes bass: easy, but fast http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week252bass_beg01.png http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week252bass_int04.png Ooh, nice arpeggio part. Definitely harder than Dis-Moi. (Both got 6 at the difficulty) http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week252bass_adv03.png

No improvement for bass track (same picture as week250) http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week250bass_adv03.png

At least it's better than last week's score! \o/ http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week251rhytm_int02.png Still missing the first strum from most of the chord changes.
