Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 50

[Motive]

@@Nacholede Great! When i improve my guitar skill (after one year or two practice), i`m too will enjoy playing this a song. :)  Beautiful melody and excellent the guitar parts, but not my skill anyway.

And while my skill there, where i feel enjoy, when properly playing a song with good accuracy and sounds. :) :

Conclusion:

 

1. Good old Beatles song. It has quite nice rhythm to it. The tab itself is not too hard, it features a lot of double-stops. There is a section that might prove to be difficult to the beginners as it requires bit of speed and accuracy together, but the section doesn't last long so its nothing too difficult.
2. Well, this was one of the hardest "Intermediate" songs I've played so far. It had lots of fast sections, along with a few quick solos and a main riff that wasnt really easy. This song could be an advanced song in my opinion.
3. Holy maccaroni! I was judging the book on its cover on this one. I said: "Eh, Iron Maiden! Lots of fast stuff, palm mutes. I won't end up with a good mastery %"
   I wrong. The song started with a nice damn intro followed by an good main riff that just felt nice to play. At one point there was a sick guitar solo going on, and i was surprised i was still playing the rhythm of the song but then i got a bit of solo to play (which of course was a hard :) ). Overall I'd say this was easier and more fun to play than this week's Intermediate selection.
   Sorry @@steroma :(
4. Coming into the song, I saw the lenght and all those little towers on the DD tab op top and i was a bit scared for my own finger's safety. Well my concern came true. 

   Its a relly nice song up to at around 60% where all those tall slim towers begin. If you know RS2014, you know thats always the hard solo. Oh boy it was hard. And so long. (pun not intended).

   At that point i was just improvising as the notes went so damn fast that i couldn't possibly get them into my brain then into fingers. Rest of the song is harder but in a fun way. Also there

   a one tiny section of it at the end where the solo returns. The Return of The Solo. Easier but still too hard. The song itself was a nice song to listen to.

Glad you liked the Iron Maiden song but I recommend playing the actual Rhythm Arrangement if you want a challenge. The solo on the Rhythm Arrangement is a lot harder but the Rhythm Arrangement is a lot of fun as well.

[Mortalo]

@ Well, I would score it at 7. I knew it's too hard, but I needed easy rhythm and bass. And it resembles good (hard) old days of high difficulty in Int class :) May this days be past :)

Dream Theater aka Nightmare Pantomime: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/40854890452408111/D2174DF82CB0253CA844B14E40F72B8DED71C458/

 

This song is actually damaging my hands. Might play it again tomorrow once I can bend my fingers back into less of a clubbed foot shape.

[justin4327]

Oh you can do it, i'm sure you can.

[MilkmanDan]

@@Mortalo, in context of the RC, I meant to drop down 1 level when using the "mulligan" reference, an example of having to make the sacrifice in order to still be in the game... Presumably @@MilkmanDan meant the same, but I am sure he'll correct me if I am wrong.

 

Just to clarify what I meant by taking a "mulligan":

 

When we added the Advanced class, all of us in MC Bass had the opportunity to drop down to Advanced if we wanted to.  Most players didn't, but at the time the MC selections were tending to be easier -- mainly because we were still doing the level sorting only by guitar part difficulty.  Now that we've had a few weeks to see how things are going, I think it is quite reasonable to suggest that maybe some of those people who elected NOT to move down into Advanced might regret that decision.  Given how tough the songs have been since then, they might want a "do-over", hence my saying "mulligan".

 

Although a change to the rules about leveling down/up might be nice in addition, it isn't 100% necessary with regards to the mulligan thing.  I'm suggesting just a one-time thing since the increase in difficulty between pre-Advanced and post-Advanced has been larger than I (or most, I think) was anticipating.

 

I think that is reasonable, even though I personally will stick in MC.

[MilkmanDan]

Oh, and I thought I should also clarify/comment on the Dream Theater song Octavarium as the MC Bass selection:

 

Although I don't personally like the song, I think it is a fine selection.  The length is pushing it a little bit, but we don't have songs that long with any regularly at all.  Good for a challenge/changeup to have a long one like that once in a while.  The tone for bass is pretty bad, but as long as people know about tone switching in the game, I don't think that is a big issue.  I quickly switched to a clean tone in the first few bars and wasn't really bothered for the remaining 19:30...   :P

 

Difficulty wise, it is intermediate-advanced for long stretches, with some punctuated parts of fully MC-worthy stuff (which is good).  I think it fits as the MC Bass song just fine.

 

Basically, I'm 100% fine with that particular song being chosen.  Although it isn't my favorite ... you can't choose everybody's favorite every time.  :)

[Rodman]

I am the only one who likes the song?

I'll give it another try in a bit...in the meanwhile, you can check a lot of hidden things on this great album

UNTRUE! Gr8 song! Pleasure! Sad thing i will never be able to go for it guitarwise...

[MaZtoR]

Rocksmith might call it a failure, but for me it is improvement. :D

You will be in advanced a lot faster than you think if you put your energy into practicing at least an hour or so every day. I promise you that.
