Why he looks like that man from The pirates of Caribean?? :D Will listen to this tomorrow, 18 minutes is rather long song.

Bit of an improvement on War Pigs to 98.47% (with a huge streak! Almost 500), but not going to post the screenshot unless I need to.

 

O_o, what the reason?

 

And below my updates, still on LAS, cuz even after 10 tries I can't pass this solo in SA.

Ouch... loosing only 1 streak point to Latsch now...

I think everybody see now, that if somebody sit and play a game for a week, than take 5 minutes, he can generate a bunch of really good features to add to rocksmith... But do you really think that Ubisoft is soo lazy that they can't use this week before? It is always the same situation: their goal is not make a killer-music-teaching thing, but earn as much money as possible by making us update more and more. So I'm sure they already have a list of "innovations" for next 2-3 rocksmith releases. Look for example on changes between first RS and RS 2014, the only real thing was a Session Mode and improved detection of pitch and techniques used, everything else was a fixing of baby mistakes done in RS12 like long song loading, too complex menus with a lot of delay on animation, some obvious improvements on showing a music tab. Where the smithyanvil forums? there were such topic with a lot of ideas years ago. And for those who think that RS Cable is something supe-puper, I can say that Rocksmith differs this cable from any another windows sound recording device ONLY by checking it's vendor ID (every USB device has it).

 

Really, I believe that sometime we will get community rocksmith analog, like Phase Shift, Frets on Fire were made to continue RockBand and GuitarHero ideas. Phase Shift even supports midi keyboards and that midi RockBand promode guitars. I can say Phase Shift within 2 years have get much more functionality than Rockband.

Hey Guys,

 

I recently got curious of what people would rather use.

Would you use active Pickups (plug n play) or use the passive pickups for your guitar ?

Which ones do you use right now and what do you think about them ?

Are you looking for new ones ?

I recently got curious about those plug n play active pickups and wanted to know what you guys think. [emoji16]

 

I'm really don't see any point installing active pickups when you have a cheap gear and so on (I don't mean you @@DevStereo, just in general). Originally as I know active pickups were invented to make guitar signal not fade much because of very high resistance of long cables used on scenes, but now as you know on scene wireless systems are used (so cable is short) and if you practicing at home you don't have such problem too. Another point is that I know anybody capable of soldering given him a bunch of components will make a preamlifier in 10 minutes, that will make the same effect as active pickups have but will economy you a decent amount of money. Everytime I look how much EMGs cost, I think I would better go and buy another guitar by adding a bit of money. If we are speaking about active pickups tones, it is a decision of taste and nothing more, like digital vs tubes or one guitar wood (shape, strings, etc.) vs another. Guitar world is full of different myths, you know.

 

I've on my guitar passive pickups of unknown brand (I haven't disassemblied it).

Have played MC song. It is fantastic, I really like it. The only thing is that I can't pass that super mix of tapping and little sweeping and always get 3 crosses there in SA :) But that melody before is killer: at first it going to hands memory very fast and at second I were suprised I can play it without mistakes on 85% speed and even litter slower playing it makes me feel like I am flying somewhere, really... That song really motivates to participate this week hard. And that will be probably the last real competition week for me that year, I'm going back to university, so will have a small amount of freetime.

Adv bass new version... video upload soon... it's poo but it'll have to do :) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=503994859

 

Bosh!

 

Why you are picking open note once or I don't hear something??

Saying honestly it was a too boring week for me, struggling with boring song... I really don't like how war pigs are charted (I've wrote about it here before), that chords that made with single notes always punishing me like "OK, guy I can clearly hear that you have slided two notes in a chord, but third note seems losted on path and that's a miss, sorry". Also that absolutely wrong hopos between chords, I'm now making more hopos that himself Tony Iommi do on record, but not enough to make rocksmith be happy. So that looks it is only the second score submition for me on this week (only second from me??? 0_o). Hope I will get somepoints.

Hmm... Helsinki Jam, I've just watched one: 

 
Whoa: it was my 100th post on forum!!  :tada: And 100 guitars in video, it can't be a simple coincidence...

I decided to check war pigs in eof, cuz have some doubts about this tab.

http://storage3.static.itmages.ru/i/15/0818/s_1439937018_7845050_c3c58dd9f5.png

Have listening this place multiple times and I feel no difference with how such thing is played the first time, but charted starting from a single A-string 5th fret note.

http://storage4.static.itmages.ru/i/15/0818/s_1439937086_8271339_c4078e7059.png

This is funny place: the first thing is that some notes have a hammer on and pull off the same time. And the second thing: I were listening it at 25% speed and there is only 6 entire hopos done not 12 like it charted.

http://storage5.static.itmages.ru/i/15/0818/s_1439937188_6783868_b7fd45aead.png

The same thing with this: there is really only 2 or 3 entire hopos done.

http://storage7.static.itmages.ru/i/15/0818/s_1439937239_1806347_6d792f5e9c.png

Here the D-string 4th fret should be played earlier.

Have listened to the solo in slow-mo too sometimes I think I hear the second guitar. Here for example two guitars are tabed and they differ in first solo: http://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/black-sabbath-war-pigs-tab-s10137t1

Hey people. Just a suggestion: can we get an alternate track for int lead that is somewhat closer to E standard tuning? Or at least keep the beginner-int sections at E or Eb in the future because most of us don't really have many guitars lying around and/or have trouble tuning and staying in tune so low.

I hate being in D for a whole week and even worse is changing between E and D all the time.

Sorry, I don't have another guitar and it's not really set-up for D standard. My intonation is waaay off.

You can unpack song with RS toolkit, open chart in EOF and try transpose it to DropD. I've done it that previous week. PM me for details if needed.

 

 

 

@@Nacholede let me guess....bends on the 20? Amirite?

nop hahaha

It had recognition issues with power chords and some notes, and i think we changed the song due to that

 

 

It really often doesn't accept my chords and I don't know why. But I can't say that it often make a miss in the same place -- it is kinda random. Maybe trouble is A445 tuning? Also some chord slides are done as a bunch of single notes not a chord (no chord frame in game) and at the begining there is a place where note on A string get slide than sustain, than there is a small gap O_o and then vibrato. And honestly it is somewhat boring, played it several times and want to sleep now...

New MasterClass Rhythm song (and a bonus lead one), originally played at week 36:

Lead

MasterClass: Black Sabbath - War Pigs

 

Rhythm

MasterClass: Black Sabbath - War Pigs

 

I selected dreed's version, though liquid's one does not differ much.

That both looks too easy at fist glance. And the problem is that Rhythm doesn't differ from Lead in that song, the same notes as I can see few minutes before.

Question I didnt see asked any where. Is there a limit to the number of times you play a song before submitting? I thought about getting in on the fun. I thought i should start at Int for bass. I have never heard this Ghost song. After i played it through once maybe i should start at Beg :(  Can i play it 50 times then submit? I noticed that most of the ones above are on the 1st playing. Just curious. 

There is no rules on this. Check for example my submission previous week (almost 50 :) ):

http://customsforge.com/topic/21546-rocksmith-2014-championship-week-94/?p=168762

To all who wants to play it, retune your guitar again after installing the capo!!!! RS let you tune the guitar and then add the capo, but after this your guitar is slightly too high tuned, depends on the the pressure of your capo, so tune again and the recognition will be better.

 

 

 

I though that capo should be installed to press on fret (metal thing I mean) not the place between them?? I have no real capo, but pencil and rubber were giving me right notes with a unnoticed cents bias at all, but as I said open double stops don't work.

 

And I really don't like that kind of stuff, I prefer more rock guitar playing to acoustic way with fingerpicking. For me it looks like another guitar path that is very weak connected with rock guitar. Look at him, I bet many famous shredders can't do that insane fingerpicking:

 

And somebody should check MC Rhythm song. I've tried it yesterday and Rocksmith doesn't accepted any double stop of open GB strings. Have checked everything -- it simply don't accept it, but everything is OK with single notes on this strings or even with all other double stops.

This "Fix" will only be useful for "notes highway" (it's not the screen shoot example though).

it will be useful with dense moving chords, where the white dots will give the rhythm.

 

 

After playing a lot RS* you'll be able to adjust your playing rhythm with the notes position (after/before) (speed-/+).

*or any other rhythm game (it was my case with GH, with enough practice you can play unsync with the notes on known song (usefull when the song is not perfectly sync).

Yes that was exactly what I thought about - "note highway". I mean it is better not try to read rhythm from RS, but listen it once and remember how it should sound or start from a slow speed where you can easily control situation.

MC Rhythm needa s capo... Going to youtube:

 

And I were trying to make it with lace LOL.

 

@@Mortalo Okay..I get it...neglect my video then...

 

$!@# sorry, I forgot about that :unsure: I don't know how that happened, but my last weeks were quite busy.

And my one? 15 minutes late don't count :p

I don't think it will change a situation, I can clearly sometimes see chords on pane but begin to play right only after listening to song. But it is true that you changes increases readability a lot.

If somebody of you guys will say me that I after 5 weeks starting from Intermediate will go to MC I will never believe it... But it is a true now, thx everybody for this cool competition! I today decided to move forward and even make a first own video playthrough (I don't have webcam and really don't want to film myself), were in a hury trying to make it before 94th week ends, but get it late by 15 minutes  (right?):

 

http://customsforge.com/topic/21546-rocksmith-2014-championship-week-94/?p=169391 

 

And it seems that week I can concentrate on one song and path -- that is good. Let's look what we have: whoa albumart looks kinda crazy, and rhythm is it right that I will play that acoustic fingerpicking stuff?? It will be a wonder if I will get more that 79% that case :)

 

I just wanted to make own one on that song... So will go and do it, and we will have 2 videos! And thx for this, this track is one of the rare tracks with grouling (screaming??) I like.

 

Have played it for 2 hours, and what try do you think apeered the best, the THIRD one!! I really need some pscyhological training to stop became sloppy when playing more or after something starting go right and I became afraid that I will make mistakes.

 

And started to make it: downloaded 2 free video editors, both crashed LOL So I stoped on Movie Maker + Audacity. Created it as video file, but now can't find how to upload it on youtube (have never done it...)??? Googled it :)

 

 

When mixing guitar I've made middle in original quiter to make my guitar sound more hearable. And of course there are some sensational fails in easy places and solo (interestingly that I've never made that mistake on e string ending before). Also I don't know why that glow on hit is disappering after restart. That is my first video, so advices are welcome...

Need yet one week for practice this song, sure i can learn it more good. Now everywhere in simple places some misses. And total failed solo, some time good, some time fail, in video fail :) I can not rerecord more good, bcs of rubbed fingers

There video what I have achieved this week:

Great scores guys, really...I had to try a couple of times to beat it but uhhhttp://s12.postimg.org/lhrjnhmik/2015_08_14_00005.jpg

...you mightve forgot who youre competing aginst 

When you will fix your image hosting? I again can't open your scores...

Some more train on headobang gives results:

But if you use a recording software like Badicam or better Action Player you just have to set up the software, plug in a camera and press F9.

 

I'm using Action Player with my PS3 Camera on Win7, really comfortable.

 

I've tried demo of fraps last time and It doesn't want to record any sound, also tried ASUS Gaming Evolved thing and it doesn't catch sound too... Will try Bandicam or Badicam?? and Action Player, but I have no hope really they will work with exclusive rocksmith mode.

Okay got a fixed version on the way, took out the restart and moved audio half a step down and remixed the equalization balance(I do this all the time, I love it).

LINK

Everytime I see somebodys playthrough I start to want make an own one... But have the problem: in exclusive mode sounds isn't recorded and without it Rocksmith doesn't want to output sound (I don't know why??), plus my sound card drivers are not fully compatible with Win7, that causes weird ingame tones of guitar. And when I realize that I need to separately record a video, along with recording sound in GR, that extract music from CDLC and mix this 3 components, I become too lazy.

 

And thx for everybody doing playthroughs especially with filming themselfs, for me overcome nerves about somebodys watching how I play seems impossible.
