I use a digitech drop for all weird tunings.   I think it should be no issue at all, however, I am not sure if there is some official rule on this. 

yea i feel like that would be pretty much the same method overall, plus my accuracy would be much higher cause of the note detection is much better in e standard for me

would you guys still count my score if i used a pitch shifter on the customs forge song manager next time we have a song thats in a different tuning from e standard

easy but lovely song! 

I used to play in a Queen tribute band for years, many years ago so Queen are always welcomed for me!

We never did Innuendo live, maybe it was difficult to render on stage, so I never studied it properly. I love it more than other I used to play with the band

Ouch I thought that the solo was the problem, but I really underestimate some riffs

Needs some hours to get to 90% and beyond

congrats to @ coldrampage and @ nlbsmglsk for the high scores on rhythm, you guys don't mess around yeah

@ Bottledpat12 how much did you do as % on the lead one you posted? approximately. it seemed high from the score

i think around 92 - 95% 

fuuuck i accidentally pressed enter before i could screenshot my accuracy for dream theater

I use an old multieffect, zoom g2.1u, works pretty well for drop/detune, even from E to C and beyond (12 steps). First 3 steps are high quality. Higher notes are not very pleasant when you go down over 3 steps but are acceptable and well recognized. I've programmed a preset for every step to C.

It can go up too like a capo, but I never used it.

Now there is the Zoom G1 Four that's essentially the same and it costs like 80€, very cheap.

yea ive always wondered what its limit was at, wanted to try and go to b standard with a six string

No disrespect taken, but Floyds are a pain in the ass to tune, takes forever especially for intonation. And it's not easy anyway.

I had only two guitars for more than 20 years, both with Floyd rose so I'm used to setup them, in every detail, and know some shortcuts and tricks. But without lock it takes like 1 min max to retune, even intonation, with Floyd can take up 15 minutes for a single tuning + intonation, and also to do just drop tuning you have to retune multiple times the other string because every string balances the others. So with Floyd you start to avoid retuning, or ditching intonation at least.

Fortunately I have one guitar with Floyd always tuned to E, the other with Floyd always tuned to drop D, then i go with the drop pedal to detune (but it's never like the native experience)

Also higher notes on high E on my main don't get always caught correctly (like from 22 to 24), even if intonation is fine. 

That said, it really depends on a lot of stuff so obviously Floyd is not the main problem.

But,if someone must have only one guitar, Floyd rose needs to be avoided

a drop pedal would solve a lot of problems for me lol

I found some time ago that my tremolo bridge causes the issue when changing tunings.

The effect is when you change i.e. from E to Eb the bridge is getting loose as you tune in consecutive strings.

The effect is when low E is tuned down to Eb 1st, then A is Ab etc.. after high E is tuned down to Eb the low Eb, Ab, etc.. are all out of tune.

So even if you pass final tuning check (calibration?) your strings are a little bit off, which may have an effect during play.

I have 2 solutions for this problem.

1) Re-tune over and over from top to bottom (or bottom to top - depends how rocksmith is showing it ) until all strings are "perfectly"  tuned - basically press space after each top-to-bottom tuning and repeat the process

2) before tuning loose all the pegs a little and then start your tuning, you can repeat method 1) to be sure, but few less tries will be needed

however, if you have fixed bridge, you still may experience this as the fretboard may be a little flexible giving similar effect but to much less extent.

hope this helps.

yea i end up retuning over and over i used to do the loose pegs thing as well but end up having to retune over and over anyways thanks for the tips

Sometimes I have the same problem with my Floyd rose guitar 

If I do the bonus instead of the main, will it be considered for the championship?

MC songs are sup hard, i will play like ten minutes a day this week on the bed since we don't have space. So I'm aiming to the easiest song

yes especially when i tune to anything different from e standard, i gave up messing with the intonation to try and perfect it

Now that you mention the particular riff it's a different matter. I use 8-38 strings with a really fat pick and I don't see any detection issues (so yeah it works for me). But the problem probably lies elsewhere. My guess would be other strings still buzzing when they shouldn't, but it's just a guess. Does the same thing happen in RR on low speeds?

EDIT: imo either that or a tuning/intonation issuse

its probably tuning/intonation since i have a floyd rose trem bridge

Maybe you should try not hitting it that hard.

did it work for you? most of my low e notes werent detected on tragedy of modern ages especially on the first riff

@ Bottledpat12 I don't know if I can reach your scores in a week, but I will certainly try. Your last week's sight-read was definitely in my reach.

yea last week was close i wanna improve my scores a little more but tuning to Eb fucks up the note detection for the low e for some reason

solo is super hard and fun 

Just now, nlbsmglsk said:

No prob, it's a win for me. but I'm still curious about your sight-read score on this, so pls give it a shot. Check out the new week also.

yea im a play this weeks song as well since im in Eb standard anyways

yo revocation is crazy ive played their stuff for a while now this is gonna be a good week
