maybe a stupid question... 

What does Nacho Week mean?

Cannot figure out from songs choice

Wow... so many cool songs to play this week...

Class first:

Hmmm.. i don't know how many times I played this one... While I got chorus no problem, the verse riff is a mystery...
Also the bridge with arpeggio in the middle of the song... no-go...

I this one the solo part in the middle of the song is above my abilities

In this one, I don't know if it is possible to play chorus as tabbed.
I cheated a little bit and played A string instead of E on 5th... worked much better...

Few songs from other classes worth mentioning are below:

More complicated that it sounds initially...

This is easier for me to play than Megadeath - Family Tree...

1st my new baby...

hope you will see my stunning results soon playing on her

anyway, this weeks playthrough:

i could not figure out a tempo in this one...

and lead...

not too much time again, only today...

only one pass of this one:

i got few passes of this one...

i was getting to 100% when i completely missed the threat and got few notes missed in a row...

that change from 17th threat and back to 7th/8th red and yellow was killing me...

i could not make it again... therefore two screenshots.. longest streak and best % score. (do they cumulate for the best score ?

Same issue with U2

repair it in cf song manager.

had the same issue and it worked ok.

Happy New Year everybody...

back after holiday.

Class songs only

Rhythm Intermediate - what a song... love Iron Maiden... got 8 misses though.... lack of time to play more

Bass Intermediate - also cool song to play... repetitive though... got 1 miss sooner or later somewhere in the middle of the song every time I played

bass intermediate bonus - pretty cool to play... 

got few misses though, mainly intro and outro riff

again, no time to practice to improve...

thanks for updating leaderboard... surprisingly I won two categories... hurray... 

this is very quick week for me.

I just have a chance to play today this week.

nice tune... 

this riff is so cool...

however i am getting a miss on 90% of G5 chord.. any hints how this should be plaid?

In this one I would get much better if I have more time till the end of the week... I would not be surprised if I can nail it 100%... next time maybe..

now other classes...

this one no way is Advanced Bass... max level 4, maybe 5... so much easier than AC/DC... again, definitely would nail 100% if I have more time. miss in this one was actually false miss by rocksmith, not me

there will be no improvement this week... no time...

Class songs:

the leaks are quite easy, however to follow the changes between them... impossible

effectively my goal was to reach 90% and I got it...

too lazy to change tuning so often... could be better

in these two there is always few notes i miss

Done - OP updated.

how could you guys... even scoring 100% is not certain win these times

Interesting week.

Class songs come first.

No was this is beginner's... I would give it min. 4-4.5. No way I can pass score attack  

In this one there was always a power chord or two that were not recognised in my case... I have no problem at all with fast ending section though.
I was getting whole scope of scores in this one, but always over 99%, different streaks and scores. this one is the longest streak for the score, however longest I got was a little bit over 400, but lower %, and I think I also got highest score with that streak. One more power chord have been not recognised there though...

If I would publish few screenshots from this son, are they cumulated? I.e. 3 screenshots, one with highest streak, one with highest score and 3rd with highest accuracy

this one quite easy... don't know what about accuracy though and final score.

i played prince and I think it should be max 3-3.5. only one fast section in 3/4 of a song and 3 or 4 slides... I think it should be Intermediate bonus.

this was nice week for me.

had a chance to practice a little bit more. i have focused on bass though, as rhythm songs were chord focused, so as usual, recognition sucks in my case.

class songs:

lots of misses in bar chords... don't know why... 

in this one it was not coincidence  - i got 100% twice, 1st in riff repeater and then in score attack.

it took me few tries, as there was always a note or two i have missed, but effectively goal achieved

i had to re-tune to C standard, as in E standard version i think dropdown pedal did not work and it did not sound right, even in earphones. 

other classes also pretty cool.

this one pretty difficult as per beginner, for me at least , i played it only once though...

what a song... love this type of playing.

bass beginners and bonus... well.. beginners

in this one i would be able to get more, but there was always few notes RS did not recognise, for whatever reason. i am sure I was playing it correctly and easily 99% was achievable. IMHO it should be rated lower than 7.

another week with lack of time,,,,

class songs:

i got main pattern all right.... solo part is out of my reach,,,,

this song is like they did not hear about metronomes....

Is it only me os tempo is changing more often that anywhere else? and also it sounds for me like every membr of the band plays separately... nothing match he for me

other classes songs not worth a print screen ;)...

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son (Rhythm) - 87%... one pass only... too long...

Scorpions (Bass) - 97.5

Papa Roche (Bass) - 99

veeeery little time to play this week.

just class playthroughs

nice and melodic song

i would never though i will be defeated by standard chords song....

i don't know if it is rocksmith recognition or my imperfections (more likely ;), but approx 10% of my chords are always being missed.

this was easy...

this one i just played few minutes ago and found few licks i should improve, but no time... definitely could get better...

so little time this week, thus poor scores...

foreigner.. not my cup of tea...

incubus...

this one could be better if I have more time

this one is a beast...

did not play other classes this week... no time...

Song Manager v1.6.0.0

1 minute ago, ShankD said:

The version I have only has a bass arrangement, no DD, says version 1.02

i have renamed bass only version in songs manager not to be confused and not to think too much when looking for proper arrangement

surprised nobody asked about it yet...

Incubus - Dig, rhythm path...

how the hell should we play this....

any hints?

my fingers are not so stretchy

I think there are two like this throughout the song...

my entries for this week:

so repetitive, looks easy, however the lick is fancy and could not go through without misses...

brilliant tune... solo section in the middle and one at the end are completely out of my reach.

in bass path there is a fast scale type riff which i cannot go through without missing a note or two...

other classes scores not worth mentioning

very little time this week to practice.

see my classes scores... nothing impressive...

those arpeggios...

I  like this one a lot... but there is always few notes game dos not recognise...

from other classes i was only able to play bass beginners

It kind of depends where you're finding issues at. From previous suggestion and your reply it's hard to say exactly where you're finding extra difficulty. I'm definitely not a reputable guitar teacher at all, but the bit that I've really had to learn something with arpeggios I always thought it easier at the time to learn the chord shapes being used before worrying too much about my picking, but that could also just be that I've never quite been the most accurate picker.

the biggest problem i have is hitting the right note, especially on high E, B, G and D. finding proper chord is less issue, however it takes some time to figure out if hand shape is not shown.

i was trying to play few mini games to work on it, but with no huge progress

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you, but my advice would be:
1. Try playing them with fingers instead of a pick.
2. If you decide that you have to use the pick (like me), play riff repeater turbo-slow, and watch your right hand. (...)
3. Memorize the left hand movements before you practice picking. It's usually just static positions on the fretboard (...)
4. Don't avoid them like I did for 10+ years, so you won't regret it like me. (...)
5. DISCLAIMER: I'm self-taught, with no knowledge of proper teaching methods or technique. 

thanks for all advise.

what i am doing at the moment is trying to read the proper chord and play whole cord hoping game will catch THAT note as nearly never ever hit the right note if trying to play properly.

1. tried both fingers and pick

2. good idea... i loose my patience though if music gets too slow LOL...

3. true... i think it would be much easier if chords used in these arpeggios are shown as sometimes are, but not in this case

4. good point. i am doing the same thing here for last 20 years or so...

5. cheers...
