Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 89
Van-Blurten replied to Mortalo's topic in Rocksmith Championship
gonna have to step aside from guitar for a bit. Started physio again for fret hand, but the dog just took a chunck outof the "webbing" between thumb and forefinger on my strumming hand :S -
I'm sure that made a great gift :D Have a google for patches, or make your own, again google whatever artist to get an idea of what they are using. I use this site to get some guitar patches. Like any place on the internet some will be terrible and have a great rating because someone likes the song and vice versa.

First run on Adv Bass, 97%, 656 streak http://i59.tinypic.com/2j0gwoo.jpg -
Just took delivery of my new shiny amp :D Peavey vypyr VIP 3 First impressions, very nice, got it for an absolute steal £130 second hand, not a mark on it, some dust but that's it. Firmware needed updated and got a quick look at the editing process for PC, looks very nice... complicated but heh :D The pre-sets are a bit, hmm good but maybe over the top on some effects, lots of reverb and wah when it could have been a bit more subtle, nothing that can't be changed. The amp itself seems very good, better than I expected, it can handle electric, bass and acoustic guitars as well as violin

Man oh man, everything seems to conspire to stop me playing, after handing in my chemistry assignment I thought great can really get some good play time in. Lasted 2 days and then I tweaked my back, so I'm now back on my feet and able to sit for 15 mins now. Anyway first runs on adv bass and int lead Bass 91% 124 streak http://i60.tinypic.com/zt7rme.jpg and int lead 78% 80 streak http://i60.tinypic.com/mcw7kj.jpg

Note recognition for me is slightly, well lots off. I saw a few misses and lates flashing when I knew I was hitting them, so decided not to play some notes, maybe 1 out of 4 notes not played (+ more?) in some sections and it gave me them lol. Anyway updated Bass int, 97% acc, 191 streak http://i58.tinypic.com/14klliu.jpg I can't get anywhere with this on lead and don't have enough time to devote to it atm, I will in all honesty probably need (or be) levelled down for lead path. -

Int Bass 93 %, 127 streak http://i61.tinypic.com/11jsp3b.jpg -
Finally got around to buying Kansas, Carry on my wayward son :D There's probably a lot more that I want, but I daren't ask the wife for more cash atm

I'd say if money is a problem, get the cheapest multi effect pedal you can from ebay or a pawn shop.. I mean the absolute cheapest soab you can find. That will likely provide you with some amp sims, not a lot but enough to play about with and a few effects that are just about ok. Then you get time probably 6 months to a year to save up a little bit, if you can put away 15 dollar / euro / pound a month you should just about have enough for a very decent multi effect to replace the crap one something like Zoom B2.1U or Zoom B3 would be my preference. Then a better Amp, then guitar and final
