Interesting.

My favorite one from Dystopia.

Last week I suddenly got really busy after Tuesday. Now that its spring break for me, I should have a lot more time to try and see how well I can do this week while simultaneously trying not to get completely side tracked playing other games.

Not sure why it is showing 100% mastery

First time playing and actually even hearing these songs

1. Looks easy but I never played in this position so the score shows accordingly :)

2. I'd give this one (2).

3. Can't properly play the fast 16ths with my finger but the rest of the song is relatively easy. Agree, (5)

4. ... where the heck did my screen shots go?!

Graveyard - is that even music? :)

5. Rainbow - got 87% on the 1st try. Probably (7).

@@Anwyn levels up from INT rhythm to ADV rhythm.

Fandaru · March 11, 2018

Thanks!

Without a song in ADV rhythm, should I consider it a "rest week"? If the answer is no, what is my challenge for rhythm this week?

Getting a better sc0re will be 2ez here, but n0 fun. Instead will practice muting, I think it's entirely 0n right hand here and I'm zer0 in it.

Just a sight reading which I 0bvi0sly can't int0

Fandaru · March 11, 2018

Sadly RS doesn't recognize the majority of my bends, I can't finish Heavy Metal. I hit the right note, RS plays it (I hear it from the game) but the string does not move (it should be highlighting and bending), like if I'm not playing at all.

Slowly improving

I'm having a weird issue with Rocksmith. It takes forever to login to Ubisoft servers and fails. After several attempts it lets me play songs but I can't see the leaderboards - so I guess, it's offline or something. Anyway, got a few scores.

Still can't grasp this song, weird position to play

Butchered the solo parts. Ok at 90% but too fast at full speed and I just get lost and start playing random notes in panic.

On rhythm, and when it comes to competing, yes. You can still play other rhythm tracks for some fun :)

Its been that way for a few days for me to. Ubisoft seems to have server problem with many games right now.
