Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 120

[missis sumner]

I was really annoyed with this tonight, because I forgot to play in SA:

And then after a dismal score in SA, I had a little rest and then another go:

It's not too difficult this.  Fast, but not complex. :)

After lots of work in RR, I've managed to raise the intermediate lead score a bit.  If not respectable, it's getting less embarrassing at least.

 

I cant' get through even easy on SA, so I'm having to do LAS.  I've had the same 77% the last 4 times I've played it, which either means I'm topped out, or I'm consolidating ready for the next push.

 

Intermediate Lead 77%

I really should RR which i think should lead to a 94 or something... but i dont

:D

 

 

Lets go the stony way

If you've posted a score, I can't see it?

Played While My Guitar Gently Weeps with my Les Paul as a final ode(the damage was a crack IN the fretboard, so its unrepairable) went ahead and smashed it after

Then my Dean showed me where appreciation gets you when you love your guitars

I wonder how close Brutus is to his limit, cuz i've already far surpassed mine, this was a very emotional run, and its only Monday

[albatross213]

@@then3verend - Don't worry, bro, I'll keep him busy on bass.

Though, yeah, my chances of doing jack in MC guitar has disappeared pretty quickly with the return of you, fripp, and the addition of new people. Should make for some great competition as long as I don't peace out too often, though.

[Brutus Erectus]

This is my limit, @@then3verend. R.I.P your guitar. Was it a Gibson Les Paul? I sure hope not

@@Brutus Erectus Nah just an Epiphone, I said in an earlier post it was a cheapie, guess thats why its cheap


but hmmm...that chorus riff has slowly been coming to me






@@albatross213 :___)  see this is why you'r e a people's champion I'll never be

[Gamut]

Crazy competition on this MC.

This tune sure is cheery for an Eb!

 

I'll probably play this a few more times, but I kind of want to aim high this week and spend my efforts on getting decent at the MC, because I really dig it. We'll see what happens!

aha, good! But still... I love my piece of shit Yamaha Pacifica. It was my first guitar and we two have grown up together. While I was still a complete ignorant noob, (and very young) I tuned it two octaves too high and to compensate for the raising tremolo bridge, I took a hammer and nailed it stuck. I have also painted it twice and removed the neck pickups. Those where the days... I still play it regularly even tho I own a Gibson SG and a Fender Strat. The point is: I would never ever purposely smash it to pieces. 

[Gamut]

How long have you been playing, @@Brutus Erectus ?

[then3verend]

@@Brutus Erectus I figured, I had only one shot to be a rock star, might as well do it and feel great

That epiphone really never connected with me though, my Dean has seen a lot of glory, and a lot of tragedy.

I would legit be depressed if anything happened to it, its a weird feeling....

But now, since you seem to be the re-incarnation of "insert guitar god here" its time to focus on the song for a bit

[Brutus Erectus]

How long have you been playing, @@Brutus Erectus ?

about 8 years. I started at the age of 10

[Gamut]

I did my first year of learning on my brother's crappy old no-name brand that he let me borrow when I got Rocksmith 1 for Christmas.

 

The Boxing Day after that, I picked up a Hagstrom Ultra Swede, and it's my baby. I do desire more guitars, but this Hagstrom's pretty versatile, so I feel okay about being guitar monogamous for the time being.

[Brutus Erectus]

If you want to know how good I really am at playing guitar I will leave a link to a session mode jam i had. Judge for your self. Everything is improvised. Please feel free to check out my other videos to.

@@missis sumner I can only set the scroll speed for the whole song at every arrangement. But the song speed stays constant, there are just less notes in those parts.

 

I forgot to say, most weird - I played it again last night, obviously, and the scroll speed started off relatively fast and stayed fast i.e. it was fine.  There was no slow start and ramping up of the speed at all?  Why would it have that funny glitch for a first play?

[Teh_Dimmy]

this maybe the best i can do on this song so far

Sad news today: my les Paul was propped up on the wall, something made it fall over. And the headstock snapped right off...

R.I.p my guitar :___(

 

Pretty common thing with them Epi/Gibson LP headstocks unfortunately, even $2k+ ones.

[MonstaS4]

Awesome playing @@Brutus Erectus! It's one thing to be able to play music from Rocksmith or from tabs, but to be able to improvise like that takes it to a whole new level.

 

I've had this in the collection since the last Clutch song a few weeks back but haven't yet put the time in to learn it properly. Hitting those bends consistently is the challenge this week.

[KJParsley]

Not sure if it's repairable/worth the repair, it's a cheap guitar, I'll be getting a quote and seeing but...

I might just use that as an excuse to get a new one

 

I use that one a lot too.  If the "It Fell over and broke" doesn't work, I can fall back on the "Our four dogs chewed it up".

 

:D

 

 

seriously...  hope it works out fer ya!

about 8 years. I started at the age of 10

 

8 years, that's fine. Since 10, that makes it  :)  :D :lol: Great to see you here.

 

And we've let you win beginner rhythm :huh:

[then3verend]

As I really start to think about MC lead, I really think it should be Eb std. A lot of fret logic would make more sense.

I'll wait before I have a more in depth answer to post to the cdlc later today.

[Mortalo]

@@Psymanski Happy birthday!
