Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 250

[MentalSharps 49]

@@diceslinger If you enter the menu while in learn a song, there is an option for "Mixer" and you can turn the music volume down and keep the guitar volume higher to hear it isolated. I play through an amp into the PC though, so I have the rocksmith guitar volume muted as well, but it's works the same. Find it quite harder to get the timing right relying on the visuals rather than the sound I think :).

 

The recording software is called OBS Studio which is free, and not too difficult to set up. It's been helping a lot though with doing solos and trying to develop my ear, to record bunch of plays through, then going back and watching the replay and listening and getting a better sense of what it sounds like to over-bend or under-bend.

 

 

 

 

@@MentalSharps, I got thinking about this last night and slowed the solo down to 80% to listen to myself on the solo.  First, your playthough sounds pretty good!  Mine was pretty ugly sounding, and it made me appreciate how good yours sounded.  Second, how did you record yourself isolated?  I've been toying with that idea, I know the sound from the game masks a lot of junk in my playing, so much like you I'm ready to start going for musicality rather than a high score in the game.

I gave Hazy Shade a shot because I heard a version on the radio by The Bangles.  I thought, hey, that doesn't sound too hard.  Yeah, I was wrong.

I saw Motorhead back in the 80's at the Bol D'or 24 hour motorbike race in the south of France....... they had no trouble playing loud enough to drown out the 40 or so screaming Motorbikes,   :lol:

 

anyway, scores,

 

 

nice and easy start,

 

not so easy as i kept missing notes.... i blame the hot weather.

 

 

Straight into Master Mode anybody ?

 

 

some other good scores......

 

 

 

[Telboy 3,743]

And some not so good scores, or Subpar as the RS guy calls it

 

 

 

 

Excellent my arse.

 

 

Superb i dont think so.........but in fairness it sounded a lot worse than the score suggests 

 

 

night night all

Great songs this week and I can't really play :( Some scores that I managed to get today:

 

Some misses on chords :(

 

Some parts need practice.

 

Tried Score Attack, vjohnal's style ;)

 

Couldn't resist some Pantera. Way too short fingernail to hit those pinch harmonics.

[diceslinger 1,602]

Hmmm, the only progress I made last night is for a song way above my class.  Oh well, I really enjoy mangling this song.  I have added 15 minutes in the Temple of the Bends to my practice routine to finally get better at bends.  Long overdue!

I can only really play the intro part, learned it a while back and its super fun. The rest though...

[MaZtoR 6,517]

So damn typical.  Missed some damn random notes in the middle, but nailed every single note in the solo.

Having a fun time working on this in guitar pro.  I really like that high speed string skipping sound.  I have some tiny parts of it up to speed.  However, playing it straight through in rocksmith...gulp...
