  1. Didn't think I'd like this, but it is a fun bass line. I put a little bit of overdrive on my amp and turned the bass up.
  2. I looked at the Intermediate song and thought "no way I'm playing D Standard on 9-42's!" I need to look for a drop pedal! Then I counted guitars. And hadn't played my Gretsch Junior Jet in months and months. So I yoinked off the Bigsby B5 Vibrato I had put on it a few years back. I had already set it up with a low profile wrap around bridge, so that was good to go. Yanked the strings off. Polished it. Hit the neck with tru oil. Popped a set of 11-49's on. It's got a Lollar P90, not a requisite humbucker. But it sounded pretty decent, and now I have a guitar for playing Eb standard, D standard stuff.
  3. Set to Attack Lead @ Mikson - what an excellent job making a CDLC for this. Each part was great, and it played well through my amp and through a low end headset. Having tried to make CDLC, I appreciate how really well you did yours now that I have a better feel for "meh" versus really good. (not that I'm going to fix my "meh" CDLC, but at least I recognize the good stuff!)
  4. Thanks for the info. I was able to create a CDLC. My timing is a bit off. It's an older song (1963) that kind of wanders around between 169-170 bpm, with some bars slowed a bit more. Need to spend some more time in EOF. And maybe set anchor points? Anyway, time to read some help files or watch some videos on EOF. The song seems good at full speed, but slowed down to 50%, it's easy to see where notes need to be shifted a bit.
  5. I used EOF and Song Creator Toolkit in the past to make CDLC. I want to try making a new CDLC and was trying to figure out DLC Builder but I am lost. Does anyone have a tutorial for DLC Builder? A short youtube walkthrough? When I start up DLC Builder and go to Configuration - what should go in the Paths section for Profile File? On the main screen in the field for DLC Key - what goes there? I get that artist name, artist title and album name would be the file I am working on. If my audio file is mp3, do I have to convert it to ogg? Or does the DLC Builder do that? In EOF, where I add the 3 seconds of silence to the start of the audio file, how do I do that in DLC Builder? I am completely lost. aaaannnnndddd - I'm more confused. I upgraded my wwise. I found and set my profile. I used audacity to convert my mp3 to ogg. I created a psarc file - but no where did I see where to edit the file for note placement. How do I do the work that I would normally do in EOF? Or do I build my eof file first and then import it into DLC Builder?
  6. Thanks. I'm hoping to free up some time. I think I did okay on The Astronauts Baja and The Bel-Airs Mr Moto CDLC. I went to a paid tabs site and had some good tabs created. I did miss marking the hand mutes on Baja. But I also did some CDLC from free tabs at UG, and, well, they are not so good. And I didn't know how to mark a slide on The Asronauts Surf Party, so when I play it, I kind of ignore my CDLC. I have a lot of learning to do, both in how to read tabs in Guitar Pro and how to edit them. Guitar Pro 8 looks cool, as you can synch a recording to the tabs. That's how I quickly learned the tabs I had for Link Wray's Jack the Ripper was missing some bars. I probably just have to repeat a few bars and would be good to go. Anyway, I have a lot of learning to do to get to a point that any CDLC I make is correct. Like learn a song. Edit tabs to make sure they are correct. Learn how to mark hand mutes, slides and vibrato.
  7. I'm still playing almost every night. Playing really helped rehab my broken arm. It was broken at the elbow, and fretting helped get manual dexterity working again quickly. I have been focusing on lead guitar and playing The Shadows, The Ventures, The Spotnicks, the one or two songs by The Atlantics, The Chantays, The Marketts, ... Also trying to lean Dick Dale, The Bel-Airs, Los Tiki Phantoms. Basically - surf instrumental (no singing! no Beach Boys - although they're fun), and early instrumentals like Duane Eddie. There is only one Link Wray tune in Rocksmith, so I've wandered over to Ultimate Guitar to try some Link Wray. And other instrumentals like Bullwinkle Part 2, Malaguena, ... It's funny how you can hear a song. You can look at charts for it on other sites. You can play it and think it's right, but then try and line it up with a sound track and realize it's missing several bars. But anyway, I pick an early guitar instrumental or a surf song. I spend a week (or two or three) trying to learn it by watching Youtube tutorials, looking at bar charts, then going through Rocksmith at a slow pace. I need to spend some time learning how to make accurate CDLC, as some standard surf music isn't represented, and there is no Jack the Ripper by Link Wray! I listen to my part through my amp, not the tones Rocksmith has. So built up a pedal board with delay, reverb, tremolo (for the surf sound), overdrive (for Link Wray - might need to add a little fuzz), and a vibrato pedal that needs to come out of the mix. Thinking of adding a second delay pedal to get the Hank Marvin sound (well, as much as you can without a Strat and a Vox tube amp).
  8. I know score is the same. Mastery only up one point, but streak is better. I'm not competing on this song, but it is worth the effort.
  9. Thanks for the instructions. I got RSMods installed. The profile backup would have helped when my profile got nuked a while back! I'll start poking around to test out the options. Thanks again.
  10. Hey - do you have a link for the RSMods how to? I did a little (read very very little) searching and wasn't sure if I had current versions and instructions, or pre RS2014 upgrade links. I've migrated away from Ubuntu and use my Win11 laptop for RS2014 so things will (hopefully) work better together.
  11. Paleontology BGM39 rhythm - 90%. I can do better. Kinda low on free time (I'm sure everyone else is, too), but can do better.
  12. What I do (and probably a bunch of folks do) is take a screen shot using the Windows/PrtScr buttons. That gets popped into Pictures/Screenshots directory. I then rename it to something I can find again later. I have an Imgur account and pop it there. When I post my score, I use the dropdown in the post that says "Other Media" and click "Insert Image from URL". From the Imgur site I click my posted screen shot and copy the Direct Link URL entry and pop it into my post by clicking Other Media / Insert Image from URL. I haven't checked to see if I could post the URL of Steam pictures. That might work, but I just use Imgur.
