Another song that i got frustrated with early days......not much better this time round. Great song but really struggling with it even after some time in RR. I'll be very happy if i get 80%. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/d11uod3l59vnp1q/2014-12-29_00002.jpg?dl=0 And a little thrash metal to get the blood circulating. I now have no feeling in my right hand http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-party-smileys-614.gif http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ac3fbs3qj6mrpk2/2014-12-29_00001.jpg?dl=0

Haven't played Muse yet, but just done a run on Weezer and although there is some easy powerchord stuff in there, the remainder seems pretty tricky. I'd rate it as advanced.

Thought i could muster a little more than this but just to many minor little screw ups.....especially around the 12-15 fret area where the note sequence changes a little towards the latter verses. D minor also needs some practice - I'm just not quick enough on the change. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/rdjep2betvzeiqb/2014-12-27_00001.jpg?dl=0

Yep, nice touch. No white christmas 'down under' though.........it's a glorious 24°C here :D

Another song i tried early days and got frustrated with......a little better this time around. Still a few more percent in it if i can persuade my brain to co-operate. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/h54p0pfl7ujql68/2014-12-22_00003.jpg?dl=0

Great tunes again this week! The Jack - that solo kicks my ass. Got a 240ish streak on the next run but 0.7% less accuracy :huh: Red Baron - some great licks in there that are a little above me right now. Great fun tryin' though. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/n5dxu6jmmewv4nh/2014-12-14_00003.jpg?dl=0

Stoked with this score considering i only started playing it about an hour ago. Chord strike rate is definitely on the improve. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uiq3pz8j59yws87/2014-12-13_00003.jpg?dl=0

I will never get sick of this song....f'ken awesome! Can't wait to crank the amp up a little and give it some :D Little improvement - good streak. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/iy07qodikl0k7uw/2014-12-09_00001.jpg?dl=0

Surprisingly.....no. It was from an auntie.

Killing is a fooken awesome song! I tried to learn this not long after picking up guitar but got frustrated and let it slide for while. Now i can make it sound half decent. The hardest part of making this sound right is getting the 'chuckkas' right. Registering the notes in RS is one thing, making it sound right through an amp is a lot harder. Anyhow, my first score after a bit of RR and a couple of slow playthroughs. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/o1vhy7rq2ex1bss/2014-12-07_00001.jpg?dl=0

I've always wanted to learn guitar but never had the motivation to go through with it until my son got an acoustic for christmas last year. His hands are still a little small and struggled to play anything so i picked it up and googled for online lessons. Found Justin Guitar and was instantly hooked. Ordered a Yamaha electric less than a week later, then stumbled across Rocksmith 2014 a few weeks after that. With the exception of a few weeks working away from home, i've been playing a minimum of an hour a day every day since. Unfortunately, this amount of practice doesn't translate into good scores for me......think i'm a little too unco!

Another massive week at work = little time for practice......Deathray not really doing it for me either. This just to maintain a streak. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cv5pul5g1subrw8/2014-12-01_00001.jpg?dl=0

Lay Down is just too fast for me ATM. I watched a few you tube clips today to see what i was doing wrong but my brain just won't communicate with my fingers fast enough :angry:. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9ctm1rboiflnl3y/2014-11-29_00004.jpg?dl=0 And i just had to raise my patriotic fist http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-party-smileys-614.gif for some acca dacca. Really enjoyed playing this one. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/d76y7igyxxn4yjd/2014-11-29_00002.jpg?dl=0

Never heard of Priestess - awesome song though! It's a toughie for someone as unco as me but i'm really enjoying trying. If i can hit 93-95% i'll be a very happy chappy. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/13nwveom5ysqvg8/2014-11-25_00001.jpg?dl=0

Looks like i'm at the bottom of the leaderboard again this week :( No time to practice during the week due to work commitments. Commissioning a massive metal shredding machine - 8000 HP. Car bodies & I beams go in whole and come out in pieces the size of a coke can at a rate of 300 ton/hr I can't get through SA on hard without being struck out so i've removed DD and gone with easy SA. Being chord impaired doesn't help either...... http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7r9tef1vuchcndk/2014-11-22_00003.jpg?dl=0

This is the best i can muster this week. Damn chorus and bends bring me unstuck. I've managed a streak of 130 and therefore a higher score but this run had the best overall accuracy. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/rntkg215itfb55n/2014-11-15_00003.jpg?dl=0

Slowly coming together...... http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1az2dqzm69eknvh/2014-11-10_00002.jpg?dl=0

Good tune Noony! I haven't quite figured out the picking pattern in the main riff but a bit of RR will hopefully sort that out. I'm also playing through an amp, so it gives me chance to explore the settings to try and replicate that sound. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/l1z7pdrjqhjchys/2014-11-09_00002.jpg?dl=0

Back from holidays but looks like i missed out on my song selection last week :(. No matter.....i still suck at playing Pretty Fly! Played it again this week and can't get above 90%. Anyhoo, this week. The French tune is very catchy....no idea what they're singing about though. I've got the main riff covered at speed now, but still struggling with accuracy on the chords. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ljadlnity3np77a/2014-11-06_00001.jpg?dl=0

Man i suck at arpeggios! I'd rate the Skyclad intermediate lead at an 8. While i enjoy the song, it's not just arpeggios on simple chords - there are lots of alternate single notes slipped in there too. I've riff repeated the first section for an hour or so at 80% but still struggling. I was hoping to get a score in today before i go on hols with the family tomorrow - got an 1800km drive ahead of us over the next few days. Unfortunately, i can't get a valid score atm so i'm out for a couple of weeks. Bring on the warmer weather!

Arrggh! Just can't seem to hit those chords cleanly enough for rocksmith to recognize - they sound OK through the amp though. Anyhow, minor improvement: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/nn6ks7o5tuuk4zq/2014-10-18_00001.jpg?dl=0

Small improvement...... http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8qaek8pkdled82o/2014-10-14_00001.jpg?dl=0

Still a little more to go......just need a little forgiveness with note recognition on some of the chords. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8po1zmilgr686m7/2014-10-13_00004.jpg?dl=0

Really enjoying playing this song. Hopefully i can improve to a 95%+ score by the end of the week. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/7nm2gwkuqv4v37q/2014-10-12_00005.jpg?dl=0 P.S. Lookout MC competitors.....i think @@then3verend is heading in your direction. Great playing and welcome aboard.

I stand by my earlier comments that the lead int & adv songs could have been swapped. Anyhow, my results for the week: Lead int: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/n9njp30s48iyd0t/2014-10-11_00003.jpg?dl=0 Lead adv: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hchf0b5lwf7r34l/2014-10-05_00004.jpg?dl=0 And just to prove that MC competitors are in no danger, Lead MC :P : http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/tpn5i957i0o7okv/2014-10-08_00001.jpg?dl=0
