Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 251


Rodman

Recommended Posts

Being a FreeBird,  The recycling of week 250 isn't a big deal.  If I like a week's song selection, I make submissions.  If you notice my absence, the selected songs are probably not to my personal taste.

 

I will use this week as an opportunity try out a more guitar like finger picking style.  I normally use the floating thumb technique, where the thumb rests on the next lower pitch unplucked string and pluck with my index and middle fingers.  I'm going to try plucking with thumb and two fingers to see how that works for me.  I'll have to dust off the exercises and post any resulting train wreck.

More work on Louie Louie, finally moved the needle on both lead an rhythm.  Small improvement, but I'll take it.

And a small improvment on Help.  I have to be honest I havern't really been working the lead path of it tho.

Finally getting there at a slow speed, this was 50%.  Don't log this score.

This is 100% speed, still freeze up and that part at the end my fingers just can't stretch like that.  May need to try to tap or some different fingering.

seems like you have to get the chords pretty spot on to get a good score on this classic

& this one shouldn't be as hard was it is, looks easy from the start but i just can't get it right somehow.

Help!  It is a Hazy Shade of Winter here, and Louie Louie "gotta go now!"  I'm getting Scarified that the Winds of Change won't ever come and bring us new songs!  

 

Yeah, no progress.  Just banging my head against these songs while others make them look easy.  I actually shouted at the game when I missed the last note of Winds of Change and got the final red X to fail me out.  I did try a master mode run on Louie Louie rhythm.  I seem to have memorized the notes, even if I can't play them.

No score for me yet on Help... quite a lot for me to get the hang of the chord changes and also learn to do barre chords. I'm up to about 80% speed and it sounds like shit!  :lol: .

 

I'm also having the opposite problem with note detection compared to palm mutes.. the game now seems way too generous with registered the chord even though it sounds horrible.

Still missing the first strum from most of the chord changes.

I feel like I am "close" to  a break through on this one.  Would be nice to have a couple of more weeks on this.

 

Also for those working on this, for the last fast part, I used 11th fret D string instead of that 16th A string.
