Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 23

[Hostilian 116]

Agghhh. Spotted a bar with a slight bit of Orange (rather than purple) in my previous score (which I was going to submit). Looks like I was DD'ed (despite setting it to 100% diff).. Baws!

 

Anyway, new one on Score attack (not risking DD).. I'll have a few more goes as I quite like this song (wasn't a Beatles fan)! ;)

95.87% with 118..

 

My previous high score of 625000ish (in the RS leaderboards). I'm not even sure if it had a higher %age.. Oh well!  :)

Evening peeps. My scores for today. Getting to 100% :P But enough for today, had a busy day, going to watch some online lessons, I'm on "reading the music" kind of lessons atm.

@ Just saw the video of 100%! Damn! :P Any chance you can record yourself playing it? I always enjoy vids with the guitar in it, there's always something new to see from another guitarist. GG

[Joey 742]

Have to learn how to do that, I don't have a webcam at the moment so i am trying to figure out how to use an xbox kinect as a camera. Once i figure this out I will post the video, Maybe @@Smile can teach me how to combine both videos like he did. 

[Hostilian 116]

Slight update on previous attempt.. About .5% - to 95.87%

Some of the chords in the middle of the song just aren't being recognised, for some reason...  :geek:

 

Update - 96.04% with 87 streak (?? poor start)..

 

Anyway, enough for one night! :)

[Smile 597]

@ it is my second video I've done :) so im have to learn too

I did it exactly as done in the video from youtube

the recording of me I've done with an external hd camera. theoretically would go there with an iphone :)

Unfortunately, I may not be able to make an attempt this week either. I was in a near fatal car accident last Tuesday morning and now I'm stuck in a neck brace for the next two weeks. I was fortunate that I had my seatbelt on or the officer said I would have died. Anyway enough about that. I hope I'll be able to get well enough to play this week. The song list looks amazing. Good luck everyone.

Glad to hear you got through it, although by the sound of things not without some damage.  Look after yourself and just take it easy.  The guitar will be there when you feel up to it..

[Joey 742]

@@Smile I never thought of using my phone to record myself lol. Gives me some ideas now. Thank you.

My new baby arrived. A ten years old Fernandes Monterey.

I always wanted to hace a susteiner!

 

i won´t have much time today and tomorrow for some back in black.

 

And know iam more into infinite sustain

[Ethereal 0]

Challenging song, I think Masterclass and Intermediate are the wrong way around this week :P

 

I got 78.5% on my first attempt of Back in Black, and this is my result of *hours* in riff repeater for this song.

 

That said felt like I'm learning a lot from it (while in RR), I'm using my pinky more, getting better at chords and thinking more on finger placement to hit upcoming notes without moving too much. I will keep trying

Also I bought a bass recently, so here's my debut:

First try. This is tough but managable,...I guess

Great scores guys. Keep them coming.

 

Played several times through Wind cries mary and Rocksmith tells my that my score could be better.

It could be better indeed considering the fact that I learned this song many years ago.

This CDLC seems to be converted 1:1 from the RS1 version. In RS1 there was no possibility to chart chord embellishments (hammer ons and pull offs in a chord).

But this song (like every Hendrix song) is full of chord embellishments. When I try to play what I see on the screen it sounds nothing like Hendrix.

I then ignored most of the notes on the screen and tried to play what I hear on the record.

Probably I can get a better score by just strummming like a maniac the chords.

If i get 3x's for 3 songs (weeks) i get moved up to intermediate, right?

[diddie17 582]

Some improvement, but credit to @@Smile.  I watched his video and got enough from it to gain a percent or two.  Thanks Smile

 

[Collision 41]

You guys in the beginner section better slow down lol....I'm working till 10pm every night this week so doubt I can contribute much.  It's looking like I'll have to make 100% on Saturday to keep up :D

[Joey 742]

@@ryjil83 that is normally the case if you score 95% 3 weeks in a row or if you score 98% you are moved up to Intermediate. However we are pretty relaxed with the rules here and simply let people play what they are comfortable playing. We are after all here to have fun.

Works for me.I look forward to improving and moving up. The entire idea of this little competition is really cool, btw

I believe it's from the original ubisoft forums, might you be interested in playing another championship with official songs. 

[Rottenboozer 17]

Oh shit! Just red about the accident.  Get well soon @ cauzT

[MaZtoR 6,517]

A new challenger (in mc) appears.

I cant figure out why my mastery keeps rising around 10% higher than my accuracy. I have not been using RR or MM.

[MightyMouse 14]

New score :D

Chuffed...

Had a couple of days off (busy with other things), came back, watched @@Smile's video, had one go at it and got 98.28 (2%+ improvement over my last one) and a new high score for me..

Shows me that there isn't any point in pushing things too much...  ;)

 

Right, curry and beer time!  :)

Cheers again @@Smile!

Maybe not managable for me. But i'll try to get 80%

@@Hostilian @@diddie17 good to see that the video has helped you a bit :)

 

i love acdc, but that's me probably too difficult :(

I still can not play as well as individual notes quickly

power chords work great
