EDIT: Due to a policy change, the CDLC has been removed from the database. Sorry guys! I've been working on this for a few weeks for my own use, but I wanted to share this with the CustomForge community. I've adapted John Petrucci's famed Rock Discipline guitar DVD and TAB book to CDLC form. I've made a CDLC track for each chapter of the book. For these to make any sense, they need to be used in conjunction with the TAB book or DVD. All exercises from the book are included, and the example numbers are indicated in the lyrics. The example numbers correspond to those in the book, but the DVD is mostly consistent. Many of these exercises are very difficult, so it is generally recommended for intermediate and advanced players. However, even beginners should be able to use the more basic exercises in each chapter. Many of the exercises are tracked at the speed played by John on the DVD (absurdly fast), so you'll need to slow them down substantially in riff repeater. To reiterate, use these with the DVD or book! Some the the picking related exercises are not self-explanatory, and you don't want to miss out on John's nuggets of guitar wisdom. Part I: Warm-Up Exercises (Left Hand) Part II: Warm-Up Exercises (Right Hand) Part III: Warm-Up Exercises (Synchronization of Both Hands) Part IV: Technique (Speed and Accuracy) Part V: Technique (Scale Fragments and Sequences) Part VI: Right Hand Technique (Alternate Picking Arpeggios) Part VII: Left Hand Technique (Legato Playing) Part VIII: Right Hand Technique (Sweep Picking) Part IX: Chordal Technique (Building Chords) Part IX-35: Final Song Here's the DVD: [VIDEO] [/VIDEO]

I wanted to start this topic, because I couldn't find one (by searching and scrolling around) so, if there is one just excuse my ignorance. So, my problem, which I think that many will share. I did amazing progresses with Rocksmith, and now I can play close to 100% songs that I would not even dare to dream about one year ago.... BUT.... I feel that at a point my hands are limited in speed and I have no clue how to properly improve my technique. I'm not interested in going faster than Petrucci ( :P ) but I want to improve a little bit. For example: I can play at 100% difficulty the Iron Maiden pack except the solos where I'm absolutely overwhelmed. I practice each day as much as I can, but I could use some guidance, and hopefully if one of you which do those amazing play-through videos would be kind to put in some ideas, thoughts and recommendations, many beginners from the RS community will be more than happy. So thanks and I really hope that this thread will help many in becoming better guitar players. Calin

Hello fellow music gamers, I just wanted to see if anyone else finds that they suffer from hand fatigue really quickly while playing. I notice it a lot when I am playing songs at full speed and especially down tuned songs. Sometimes, it might happen during my first song, other days I can go for a good 2 hours. This doesn't happen when I'm practising scales or doing slower tab playthroughs. I do try to relax my hand, and use less pressure. I've even lowered the action on my bass so that a gentle touch is all that's needed, but sometimes that just doesn't work for me. Any tips from long-time players

I do have a tab of Greensleves in GuitarPro. It uses more than one voice to author notes that last longer than these in the first voice. It looks like that: http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r192/a_peter42/RsCustomsTools/GuitarPro6-Greensleeves_zps71c7f92d.png I learned, that EoF only imports the first voice. But how do i author this in EoF? If i add the note at the A string at the same position like other notes and raise the sustain, the duration of all notes will change. Even more it is not possible to do a sustain that is longer than the next note. I've tried it, but the sustain may only reach the 3rd fret on string H. My questions are: Could it be possible to change the import of Guitar Pro files to read the second voice like above? If not, is there a possibility to author these notes by hand like shown above? Is it possible to change the sustain of only one note of a chord? Do i have to edit the exported "PART REAL_GUITAR_RS2.xml" manually? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I've been trying to set up a note that will slide up to fret 22, hold there for a few seconds, then tremolo. Could anyone help me out with something like this?
