Sorry, I should have clarified that I was referring to other people's CDLC that I've downloaded for my own use, not CDLC that I've created and shared. Because I haven't created any...yet. sleepy

Wow, this is amazing...thanks! As someone who only owns one bass, I'd say it's even worth doing for my CDLC that are in Eb standard so I don't have to constantly tune and re-tune for one or two odd songs in a session. sleepy

Very cool! It's great to see someone pushing the boundaries of bass in Rocksmith! Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't have any experience with charting songs yet. After completing your steps above, do you still tune the bass to the desired tuning, or keep it in standard? At first I thought you would tune the bass, but after rereading your post, it almost sounds like you keep the bass in standard and the CDLC does the transposition down to the lower tuning for you. Thanks, sleepy

My favorite local band, The Octopus! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDvnW4qt4Vc Turn it up/adjust your EQ to better hear the bassist, he has some great lines! sleepy

Very true. I also really like Soul To Squeeze, but it is currently on my 'too hard to play' list so I forgot to mention it. :???: sleepy

@@PhamNuwen You make a great point. I've only been playing bass for two months and was surprised that I could pretty much just start playing songs from day one (started with Pour Some Sugar on Me) and gradually work my way up in difficulty. The list of songs that I can play reasonably well is much larger on bass than on guitar, and I feel that list is also expanding much more quickly. sleepy

Let me preface my list by saying I've only been playing bass for two months, so what I consider fun and somewhat challenging may be quite elementary to someone else: RS 2014 and CDLC: Metallica - Nothing Else Matters John Mayer - Gravity -- Lots of cool ghost notes and quick changes in this one Bob Dylan - Knockin' on Heaven's Door Minus the Bear - Cold Company Guns & Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine -- Too hard for me, but it looks fun! Metallica - Turn the Page Bruno Mars - Treasure -- FUNKY! Metallica - Enter Sandman Daft Punk - Get Lucky Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven Led Zeppelin - You Shook Me Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance Derek and the Dominoes - Have You Ever Loved a Woman Metallica - The Unforgiven Wolfmother - Dimension Daft Punk - Lose Yourself to Dance Pharrell Williams - Happy Zac Brown Band - Chicken Fried CDLC with NO DEFAULT TONE! The following are fun songs to play, but as of this writing they have no default tone and will disable your bass tone until you restart Rocksmith. Chic - Le Freak Gary Moore - Midnight Blues Dazz - Brick Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues AC/DC - Back in Black Bob Marley - Jammin' RS1 On-Disc Songs: The Black Keys - Next Girl The Rolling Stones - Spider and the Fly Radiohead - High and Dry Taddy Porter - Mean Bitch Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way sleepy

In no particular order, and I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting: Rage Against the Machine - Battle for Los Angeles tour Jethro Tull Dave Matthews Band The Black Keys Spoon The White Stripes Eric Hutchinson Jason Mraz Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Arctic Monkeys Bon Jovi Kid Rock John Mayer 311 & Jay-Z Method Man & RedMan - The Blackout tour ICP ( I was 13...shut up. :-P ) Keb' Mo' Anders Osborne Ben Harper Ziggy Marley sleepy

Hi Ally, Thanks for the reply! I agree with you that in some cases the feature works just fine. There are some threads, however, where it just doesn't appear for me. I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but I'll give you an example. During my session today, the 'Rocksmith Championship Week 23' thread (a thread in which I've never posted, only read) gave me the option to view the first unread post, whereas the 'Show us what you play' thread (a thread in which I have posted) in the Gear Garage did not. At the end of the day, this isn't a deal-breaker or anything. I just thought I'd mention it for posterity. sleepy

Nice! The riff sounds very Dead Weather-esque, and Jack's lead is pretty distinctive as well...cool track! sleepy

Thanks for the YouTube links, I'd never heard of them before. Not really my cup of tea, but to each their own. sleepy

That was great, thanks Jackstraw! It's amazing to see how happy he is playing that song, smiling throughout. And it's great to see that he was still inspired and playing well right up to the end. sleepy

Hello, I've noticed that some threads I'm following and/or have posted in display the 'Go to first unread post' option when they have unread posts and others don't. Is there a certain scenario or criteria other than new unread posts that triggers this to appear or not appear? Thanks, sleepy

Man, am I glad I happened to click on this thread! I experience this 'no more sound' problem quite often, especially when I'm playing my bass; which makes more sense now since people are more likely to submit a song without a bass tone than without a guitar tone. I'm glad I know the cause, now I can be more careful when downloading CDLCs...thanks! sleepy

Wow, I forgot how great those albums were until you see all those tracks listed like that. If those were all CDLC, I'd never leave the house! :D Boy, that one got 'out there' really quickly...great jam! Poetry. sleepy

I had limited experience with tabs before starting Rocksmith, but I did read and play them. Even so, I just couldn't get used to the inverted view when playing RS...something about it just didn't click. Once I switched to the default view it seemed much easier; I think it was the fact that the notes are coming down the highway and it's like I'm looking through the back of the neck. Now that I'm going to start trying to play more outside of RS, I wonder if it will be hard to go back to tab notation. I might give the inverted display in RS another shot, but I think it will be even harder to go back now that I've used the other method for several months. :| sleepy

Interesting. Is it a known issue that trying to play a song without a custom tone defined will crash Rocksmith? sleepy

Man, @@Jackstraw13, those are some great vids...thanks! I think it's going to be a looooooong time before I could handle a CDLC of that The Other One>Eyes of the World>The Other One performance! I'll have to see if I can find an mp3 I have at home of my favorite live version of Ripple. I have no idea what show it's from, unfortunately, as I randomly grabbed it back in the Napster days, but there's something about Jerry's phrasing and vocal inflection in this performance that I've always loved. That's amazing that Phil never played bass before joining the band, and impresses me even more. The way he plays you'd think he was born with a bass in hand. One of my few regrets is that I never got to see them live. I was only 15 when Jerry died so I had no chance to see them in their prime, but it still kinda bums me out. :-| sleepy

Hmm. Well it's not my new favorite Black Keys song, but I guess every band has to grow and try new things. Anxious to hear the rest of the album! sleepy

Can you link this? I did a search and I can't find it (I'd love to give it a shot) I think he's referring to the video at the top of the thread of the Dead performing Fire On the Mountain. I watched it, it's a great one! One of my favorite tracks to see them perform live...I'm always interested to see how they're going to segue into and out of it. sleepy

My parents are actually the ones that found it. They go to quite a few garage/estate sales and are pretty good at spotting deals, haggling, etc. If you're willing to do a little refurb, there are some amazing deals to be had, and not only on intruments. As for the LP Jr., she does have a few battle scars; there's what appears to be a finish crack on the bass side of the neck right where the headstock joins the neck, but it hasn't affected playability. All we did when they brought her home was polish the frets, clean and oil the fretboard, and change strings...basically gave it a standard setup. I have since then swapped out the tuners for a set from GFS (which made a world of difference in terms of tuning stablility), but it wasn't absolutely necessary. Thanks for the tip re: the truss rod cover, I'll have to do a little research and find out where she's from! sleepy

Very cool, thanks for the answers! I've removed my song from the list until I have the time to review the guitar parts and determine in which division it belongs. sleepy

I've added my name and a song to the selection list. I do have couple of questions, if I may: I added my song to the list after only playing the bass part. Should I play all the available parts to a song before adding it to the list?If the different parts to a song are at different difficulty levels, in which division should the song be listed?I know right now that I am not in the Masterclass division. Should I still put a song on the list in that division? Thanks, sleepy
