Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 162

[The Postman]

 

Can you just let the section roll until you get to the part you want to practice and pause the screen? That usually helps me if there is a butt long section with a tiny widdley bit at the end.

 

 

Yeah, I did that, but I was really struggling with the rhythm of the thing. Anyway it's just a small annoyance, my guitar skills are the real issue, but I'm working on that  :P And this cheesy metal is still a lot of fun to play  :D

 

 

With Remastered you can scroll through the song with some buttons (triggers on the gamepad) at the pause menu.

 

 

 

Thanks, I'll try that  :)

More luck than judgement:

After all, I'm playing a real bass...

 

My second go with a pick:

It is easier.

[missis sumner]

...only misses are definitely due to it. I start to pray when I have to play something like 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2, that's pretty annoying. I think it's just the A string, anyone has advices to get rid of that ?

 

 

Try playing it on a guitar? ;)

 

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

 

Edit: Seriously, you could try heavier gauge strings on a dedicated bass for drop tunings.  Adjust the nut though - I've cracked the standard one I had by fitting stings that were too thick…

you little troll hahaha

 

I actually have really light strings, so maybe that's the problem. I'll choose a heavier gauge next time I buy some ! thanks for the advice

[missis sumner]

 

you little troll hahaha

 

 

 

You got me… :)

I like Biffy. Aside from the recognissues, not a bad little ditty to play :)

It's nice to have a few more people in the adv. lead group! It's been a bit small lately.

Cool song. I appreciate that it's really short -- makes it easier to get reps in.

Just a thought, but do we have the option of being freebird on one path only?  I've never really been a bass player and don't own a bass.  So I jumped into the championship playing emu bass just for the fun of it (feel free to strip me of my wins and publicly flog me :) ).  Guess I never really gave it much thought, but @@Steven Briquette makes some good points.  If it were up to me I would go freebird on bass (freebassing?) and stay classed on lead and rhythm.

 

I have been thinking about buying a bass for a little while, and probably will at some point, but for now it is emu or nothing for me.

[MonstaS4]

Wow! Turn your back for few days and competitors move classes, birthdays have been had and keyboard wars break out. So respectively: Congrats, Congrats and back it off a little.

 

Here's my start on int lead:

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

I'm finding playing on real bass easier then on emulated. Too many strings screw me over.

 

That's enough on that topic.

[Mortalo]

Just a thought, but do we have the option of being freebird on one path only?

No. That's not an option.

 

Reasons for why we made a "freebird mode" was to allow participants to not feel the stress of competition or being locked into the competition. We understand that there might be participants that want just to hang out, post some pics and feel like they belong to our sweet little community, without all that class crap.

[Motive]

Just a thought, but do we have the option of being freebird on one path only?  

You can play in one class as regular participant, and free play in other class. So you can to get one of trophies in own classes and DHM.

Freebird only for really free people, not for hunter for trophies :)

And you must read  How and Why to Join the Championships

Especially "Why" 2th point. If to say it in a few words, we there  for fun and improve our skill, trophies - its only the tool.

All has been said.

 

Just play all the bass songs you like and post the scores as we all do.

As crap as this score/accuracy etc is. I like it, I'll make it good. King Bob did get involved somewhat hence rubbish streak score where his hand was fretting things that weren't meant to be fretted, and in some places where it was supposed to be fretted (cheers kid... probably improved my score :) .) a 7.5 imo. :)

[Fraggle Baggle]

@  congrats!  I see you'll be promoted to advanced next week.  DId you enjoy your one whole week without me? :P :D

I improved my Metallica score and streak massively today, yet got a worse accuracy, but it did unlock this essential bit of kit for me....

I foresee an evening of tone designing ahead! :P  On the topic of which, what tones do you guys have on your hotkeys?  I'm guessing it's a good idea to have one clean, one distorted, but what else?

I think I have the tone from Elvis Costello's Pump it up which is a nice bouncy tone and the one from Tool 10000 day's (by someone's recommendation, I can't remember who but it's quite nice with various genre's) Cars by Gary Numan that's got quite a nice mild distortion to it. I quite like the tones from Black by Pearl Jam too. Harmonics sound good through that :)

I don't.  I turn the bass right down in the game and send my bass signal directly to my amp.  That way I can actually hear how I sound (bloody awful, usually lol).

Update. Nice song for streching :)

Nice tune.

This song feels harder than the Adv one.

Those stretches makes my hand tired, and then i make mistakes.   I guess its all about trying to play it comfortably to avoid misses.

Never been a fan of Metallica, and nothing changed with this song.

how do you do that ? bass into amp with jack then amp into PC with real tone cable ? can't this damage the cable or something ?

[Vodka]

Thank you @@Steven Briquette and @

 

 

@@Vodka .......was your cake anything like this ?

 

happy birthday mate,

 

No) My cake was like a... cake =)

 

--- 

Have tried Metallica yesterday...

Had to get ready to sleep with sad mood. I just was tired or something.

Song seemed not so hard on a playthrough video as it was I played it.

[Vodka]

Oghghgh

I'm trying to fight the song. But everytime getting miss in the second vers on E5/B right right...

And sometimes on incisible slides.
