oh, just so we're clear - it's a squier, not a fender. Still plays better than some of the Mexican Fenders I played in the shop.

I've only had an actual bass for 2 weeks now, so it's absolutely killing my hands still. Getting used to big fat strings is hard.

cool - mine's a VM Jag Bass Special.

Ah cannalonga - I was ready to rest on my laurels with the 99.11% and the long-ass streak, but now I'm gonna have to pull the bass back off the rack and have another swing at it!

You're not making it easy for me!

Edit: out of curiosity, are you playing with an actual bass or with the simulator?

We are talking about number of frets on the guitar not actual size.

And you still think a telecaster is a beginner's guitar? I'm just so confused.

telecasters are for true beginners imo since they are small they are easier to learn on but they really limit you because they are so small. I would suggest you stick to the ibanez just because its a "normal" guitar and once you get used to it you wont ever want to go back to a smaller one. 

I'm really not sure where you got this idea from. A telecaster is a 25.5" scale length guitar - same as most ibanez's and almost all fenders, and larger than most Gibsons.

There is nothing 'small' about a telecaster unless you are comparing it to a baritone or a bass guitar.

huh. I must be playing it WAY too straight then. I'm gonna sit down with the record (and no rocksmith) tonight to have a play with it and try and get it to swing a little more.

@@Grixxly "Money" is charted wrongly with straigth eight notes while the music is swing eights. So not every time you see a "miss" are "late" is your fault. When you play what you hear then the error tolerance will be very low on this song since every second eight note will be very late for Rocksmith. You have to play the offbeat notes a bit before the beat.

Money is in 7/4 time. It's charted correctly.

Will be trying the lead part later in the week and will take another swing at the bass once i've worked on my left hand technique enough not to cramp up half way through.

This looks like a lot of fun. Definitely going to take a swing at Money tomorrow night.
