Thanks for the birthday wishes all! I'm having a ball here on hols with the family, weather is warm, beer is cold, what more can you ask for? Unfortunately, its coming to end tomorrow, but this does mean i should be able to sneak some scores in this week. ☺

I can't seem to make any progress on Elvis, so that's me done for the next week. I'm off to the tropics tomorrow for a well earned holiday! :tropical_drink:

I think the beg & int lead songs are fine where they are. Yes, Pearl Jam is fast but they are only power chords so you keep the same hand shape throughout the song. The solo is short and easyish once RR'd a few times. Elvis has bar chords and a quick change to a completely different hand shape. I'm struggling with this change to the A# & A; I can only hit it 50% of the time at full speed. Beg Lead: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ckjev4ejgn6a3lz/221680_2015-10-06_00001.png?dl=0 Int Lead: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/im2sxo03ttvlgbh/221680_2015-10-06_00002.png?dl=0

I guess my terminology wasn't quite correct. This is the section i was referring to: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/57h3lac0xpp63xg/221680_2015-10-04_00001.png?dl=0 I don't think there is any issue with the custom as Frip mentioned above, Fiddlesticks and his runs were close to perfect, it's just technique and Rocksmith's shitty recognition sometimes. I couple of things that helped me: 1) tune a few cents lower than standard, and 2) When fretting the G chord, make a concious effort to fret the low E string closer to the fret. This seemed to help in the section shown above.

Should be closer to 98% if not for the note recognition issues. That muted G near the end gives me the most grief. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/9g9l9cn1xv0ybxe/221680_2015-10-02_00002.png?dl=0

Happy BDay @@NoonyDeloony! October is a great month to have a birthday ;)

A little better. Lets see how long i can hold onto the lead for :unsure: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/xdi65941lmjmh5p/221680_2015-09-28_00001.png?dl=0

Being a patriotic Aussie, i've played this quite a few times but only the other version; Fripp's is much better. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/2xklqstfwo4exid/221680_2015-09-27_00002.png?dl=0

Final scores for me. Great week, really felt like i made some progress with regards to technique and accuracy. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6kk1wmmbgjwck03/221680_2015-09-25_00001.png?dl=0 and advanced... http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/w0ppkdjct5cgjww/221680_2015-09-26_00002.png?dl=0

It's so hard to do those solos justice, but i'm having a ball trying! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/hgh0lwh6oqyqd8j/221680_2015-09-21_00001.png?dl=0

The solo in this version seems a lot easier to play than the old version i had. Still lots of work to do here though: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uare0s9f0j0b107/221680_2015-09-20_00001.png?dl=0 One of my all time faves. Apart from the solo, i can almost make it sound good! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/yc6pplhvbkaqcjr/221680_2015-09-20_00002.png?dl=0

Sensational choices this week!! I've got a stack of plays on both int & adv songs, but still suck at both of them. Proof to follow..... Let the battle of the solo's begin :)

OK, so i gave Coheed some more time but that second last section just kicks my arse. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/w6wxv3cmoo46ixg/221680_2015-09-10_00001.png?dl=0

There, i fixed the mistake you made in the last sentence :D Seriously, great score!

Finding Coheed a real battle. Not a fan of the song either, so i'll probably focus more on Angie. I'll be punching above my weight but a more satisfying result if i can make some real progress on this. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/jt4wrllkxptidx7/221680_2015-09-06_00001.png?dl=0

Damn 22 bends! Cannot get any of them to register. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ndl7g6fl5we1w9i/221680_2015-09-05_00003.png?dl=0

Just need to hit the chorus a little better http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8pxtuiqi4zylcob/221680_2015-08-27_00001.png?dl=0

Nice work in 18 months! I wish i had your talent. I've been playing for the same time but can't get anywhere near 94% on Kickstart.

Well this is awkward.......seems i have linked to the wrong version of the song in the SSL. I could have sworn i had @@Crossbolt242's version :ph34r:. @@Bandin's version is the more correct one. Apologies to @ for the confusion. @@Mortalo, can you please change the link?

@, pretty sure you are using the old version of @@Crossbolt242's tab. This was updated in august last year. The version i have (@@Crossbolt242's) does not have any of the above issues you've shown here. And yes, a whammy bar would make the intro sound correct, but it's not essential - it won't stop you from getting 100%

Good start! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/x9p1o8z4a7n0v7z/221680_2015-08-23_00002.png?dl=0

A little better. I don't think i can better @@Mercenary's score though And happy bday to you @Gammut! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/stsr3vhjrz2b9t7/221680_2015-08-22_00002.png?dl=0

As expected, i'm struggling with the solo but otherwise pretty happy with it so far. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/fl2g8rqwdov0jm7/221680_2015-08-22_00001.png?dl=0

Another great song choice this week. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/46s0ceasmexb1k6/221680_2015-08-16_00003.png?dl=0
