Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 115

[Sebastien92]

No possibility for me to play yesterday and today, but Monday I used to practice on rr confortably at 80% of the speed. I increase the speed slowly, and I will do my first try on Score Attack when I'll reach 90%. I have the feeling of a good progression and feel more confident about this song.

And just for fun a sight read on Iron Maiden rhythm and bass. Might come back to these later in the week if there's time.

Well, I'd never have believed it was possible at the beginning of the week, but I've just scraped into the 90's

 

It has taken 36 plays, and that's excluding all the time I've spent in Riff repeater, but I'm absolutely pumped to have got this far.

 

Talking of pumped, my left arm feels like it's about to fall off  :)   Thanks @ and all for the encouragement or I'd probably have given up at the start.

 

Beginner Lead - 90.82%

@@diddie17 I knew that you can, awesome. Congratulation! You win this fight with a song :)

Not too far behind you,  @ :

I grinded out a couple of the solo sections in RR after this and only scored worse. :( I hit them fairly accurately when they're isolated, but when they're all rapid fire after six minutes of riffing I drop dozens of notes at a time. 

 

I broke 90% on Blackened, but missed the screenshot because I got distracted soloing. Oops! :joy:

[FearTheTitan]

Out of curiosity was there a reason my rhythm score for Blackened (from the video I uploaded) wasn't put on the leaderboard?

We forget about that :lol: Thanks for pointing that out :)

@@Mortalo No probs, thought I did something wrong

[Nacholede]

A new Megadeth song was released a few hours ago!

Okay I'm sold on DYstopia, even if just Dystopia, the threat is real, and fatal illusion are the only good songs, its still going to be a great album.

What do you think about that DT album also @Nacho?

[Mortalo]

@@Vodka In fact 2 weeks without a song in a class should not happen, but we really lack songs in beginner class.

Song Selection Class commands you to post your selections (difficulty ratings are really useful, so put them there even when you're not sure).

 

 

I don't want to be smashed by fellow Organizer, but damn! Mustaine sounds so awful that I rather listen to some Sylosis growl's. But at least it's not pop-fest Super Collider.

Dystopia for me was a good song! it has a lot of 80's vibe, but more melodic, and Kiko nailed it with those solos! Can't wait for the whole album :D

And Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands, with that concept album, more than 2 hours of music, like 30 tracks, and the single (Gift Of Music) that was amazing with a lot of Rush vibe in the riffs, well...that says everything! Hope it rocks!

He is trying to do his best, but his voice is running out of juice quickly since that operation, back in 2011

[Mortalo]

Beginner Lead - 100%, 414 streak, 1.014.678 score

Good run.

 

Advanced Rhythm - 98%, 926 streak

I know only one band with godlike sounds tone guitars and great bass line and cool melodic solo, this is Megadeth. Yes vocal not perfect now, but summary sounds very very good. I like it more then other thrash bands.

I like when we disagree in thrash principles. And, cough, Blackened is, cough, great example of that (especially cool melodic solo :D ) :lol: :P

[then3verend]

I'm sorry, can someone tell me when Dave was known for his amazing sounding vocals?

Never?

Then why are we still complaining about them now?

#HatersGonnaHate

[Motive]

Anyway personally  i like early Dave`s vocal very much , it sounded very rock in mix with their tones of guitars and tonality tunes, much more than James. And  yet Megadeth always was for me true thrash band without compromise, not  as Metallica at some time turned in to pop music. So i very waiting new album MD, and dont care about Met :)

Proof:

MD- 00>>

Met- 98>>

 I went back to fingers instead of plectrum as it's just how I feel most comfortable. I can only seem to play this if my bass is slung close towards my feet, which from some of the video's I've watched seems the preferred position. I can understand why too as it's most fatigue heavy on the old shoulder if you're sat upright with your bass in a relatively "normal" position adjacent to your hands as opposed to your shoes   :blink:  Not going to try and improve this as I fear I may just injure myself.
