Ok, because of poor results and overall lack of skill @NoonyDeloony gets downgraded to Advanced. She would be forever remembered as shameful person... and then she'll make another charming video and we'll forget about that.

Is it just me or is the int lead arrangement this week a little too challenging?

 

I think it's one of those songs where the bass is beginner (i got 95% on the first run though), but the lead is more like advanced - MC. It has some basic chords, but the speed is way outa my league.....

Pretty fun songs all around. I love Tom Petty, but really can't play that track well. Maybe it's too hard, maybe the technique is too unusual to me, but alas.. tough.

Bends!  :angry:

{wolfmother song pic}

 

Just tried that one myself.  Rocksmith is very picky about bends, I had trouble getting it to hit reliably also.  It is supposed to be a half-step bend, so instead of playing it as a bend on the 10th fret, play it as a hammer-on from 10th to 11th.  Once I started doing that, Rocksmith registered it correctly every time.  Give that a try and see if it helps!

Here's first tries (or almost firsts) on all the songs (bass).  I think the class sorting feels right to me, but I'll include my difficulty rating for all just to be longwinded as usual.

 

Beg:

2014-09-14_150848.jpg

One of those elusive 1st try 100%'ers.

Difficulty:  2-3  --  Mostly static frethand position, not many different notes in the song, plenty of sustains makes timing forgiving.  However, it isn't as easy as "Black Magic" because the strum pattern isn't quite THAT simple (there's a mix of half and quarter notes instead of all quarters), and the total number of notes played is pretty high which makes it a bit tougher for beginner level.  Good fit for beginner for sure, but a sorta high-end beginner.

 

 

Int:

2014-09-14_151754.jpgI had played this one once before the contest, with >99% accuracy.  So, tried it on SA straight away.  Missed 2 notes on try 2 and 1 (late) on try 3.  100% should be doable, but I'll probably concentrate on MC this week.

Difficulty:  4-5  --  Lots of easy techniques like slides and HOPOs make this a good song for a beginner wanting to practice and break into the intermediate range.  Relatively set frethand position except for the slides.  Slow tempo and pretty straightforward beat patterns -- easier than the Beginner song in both of those respects.  But, the prevalence of those techniques and a much wider note selection make it a harder song overall.  Good fit for Int, although fairly easy Int.

 

 

Adv:

2014-09-14_154014.jpgFun song.  My first run was a 94% (!), not great.  But I followed my advice to Motive above in my 2nd run (hammer-on instead of bend), and between that and being more prepared I managed the much better score above.

Difficulty:  7  --  Most of the song is highish intermediate level, but the quick bends (that I admit to 'cheating' on by HO instead) and the bits where you jump up a couple strings and quickly play scale notes down to the root again are probably enough to bump it into Adv.

 

 

MC:

2014-09-14_154905.jpgI like this song.  The bass part is fairly fast but not TOO technical.  I think I'll concentrate on this one this week, and shoot for the best SA I can get (seriously doubt a 100% accuracy, but I'll get closeish).

Difficulty:  8  --  Harder than the Wolfmother song only because of the fast tempo, note distribution, and length.  I'd class it as being a better fit in the Advanced level more than MC, but it is close and definitely serves as the toughest of the 4 this week.  One of those songs that is relatively easy to get 99%+ accuracy in given a little practice, but quite hard to nail a 100%er.

 

 

Diverse and fun selection of songs this week, and again I approve of the tier sorting for the bass.  Should be a fun week!

@@MonstaS4 It's fast yes, but it's not too complicated. It can be a challange for players not familiar with basic chords frenzy, but that's stuff we should learn when starting our journey with guitar.

@@MilkmanDan There not crazy fast a song, and have place for improve skill with bends. My constantly problem with bends it off sync hands. I start doing bends early, them strumming notes. So i wan`t use "cheat" hum-on, it useless for learning technics. I hope practice will help me with it, so have that problem  with a guitar  too. Anyway, thank you for tips.
