Love this song!! As others have said, it sticks in your head. The speed of the main riff is waaay out of my league though. I can play it OK at 90% speed, but go to 100% and i just fall in a heap.....my brain & fingers just don't want to co-operate. 78% is about as good as it will get i think. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/yg9mqou09l4m0l7/Rocksmith2014%2020140619%20RoyalRepublic-FSSM.JPG

Arrh! that last 0.5% is proving to be very elusive...... Thought i should support the local talent by having a go at Joker. Certainly good for building finger strength & dexterity! Score is not worthy at this point though.... http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/lbq47zc3z22x4kl/Rocksmith2014%2020140609%20SOAD-Atwa.jpg

Not a bad start this week :D http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/el1l4te59xgdvip/Rocksmith2014%2020140608%20SOAD-Atwa.jpg

Love this song!! I've had quite a few attempts with massive note recognition issues on the chords. With the tuning spot on, i'd always have trouble with one chord. I'd tune a little sharper and have trouble with a different chord, then tuned flatter and again the problem moved to another chord. I then checked the intonation. Great! 3 or so strings (notably A & D) quite a bit off so thought this would solve my problems. Wrong. Still no change. Strings are 6 months old, so changed them and checked intonation again. Much better! But still missing the odd note here and there. I felt i went very close to 100% on this one but the note recognition failures cost me that last few %. Anyhow....rant over. This is as good as it's gonna get for me! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uwglio3tvaizdrw/Rocksmith2014%2020140606%20Cranberries-Zombie.jpg

Arrh! that weird little solo bit in the middle trips me up....my fingers can't move fast AND accurate just yet. Alternate picking is something i'm struggling with at the moment but this is probably the first song where i've made an effort to alternate pick most of the way through. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/51hiz57flvqzelb/Rocksmith2014%2020140528%20TheWho-MyGeneration.jpg

Only had a few cracks at this. Needed to spend some RR time on the ending...... http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xtv0izs865watww/Rocksmith2014%2020140524%20FromOurHands-Sinners.jpg

Wow! the beginners class is popular this week! Don't think i can improve on this. Note recognition in the chords section still seems to be a little hit and miss. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/giwjkqkio499tb1/Rocksmith2014%2020140430%20Metric-SickMuse.jpg

Struggling a little with the speed in a few places. Note recognition also seems to be a little hit and miss when playing the power chords....i seem to notice this more with lower tunings. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/t7xfsxzuk3kz3oq/Rocksmith2014%202014-04-25%20Nemo-Nightwish.jpg

Hi all, this is my first crack at the championships. Godlike Machine seemed a little daunting for rookie like myself (started playing at the start of the year) but once broken down into sections using riff repeater and accelerator it came together pretty well. Love the site and hope to become a contributor once i work out how to create customs. Anyways....my score: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/zhz57d3cn1rw052/Rocksmith2014%202014-04-19%2020-59-22-064.jpg
