Gonna blame last week on the totally not at all healed shoulder injury instead of me just forgetting to upload my screens.
Some first tries and me getting annoyed because I've 100% I get Around in the past, might pitch shift the tuning on the MC and give it a try before the deadline. Couldn't get the U2 link to work but it's U2 so whatever
Hey y'all, just gonna drop this here as a general still alive notice. Had a shoulder injury at the start of the month so only now getting back to being able to play 1-2 songs relatively pain free. Will probably not be contesting any masterclass songs any time soon at least
Ended up with less time than I had hoped today so let's just pretend this screenshot is from today and I had no intention at all of improving before submitting :7
Working nights in -15 this week so not a lot of energy left over for playing, the MC is way beyond me and I keep striking out at the ~16m part of Octavarium
Rocksmith has 0 interest at all when it comes to detecting the 20th fret-sections so probably as high a % I can get without them.
Will try to sneak in a couple of the other songs if the thread is still active post-dinner :7
Genuinely the first "advanced" song I learnt on bass, although I haven't really played the whole thing in years so the mid-section threw me off a bit.
Superbusy the rest of the week and got a recurring weird buzz in the rocksmith cable atm but will hopefully have time saturday to get a slightly better score at least
Fun fact: I spent my teenage years as the 4th worst drummer in a five piece (mostly) AC/DC cover band. I was also the drummer.
