Let's do it for all the right reasons. Sex, drugs and Rock'n'roll!

Sorry for getting this out so late, folks, but I put some time in to make it a good one with accurate ratings.

 

Lost! is a short but sweet loungey instrumental. On lead, it's a 3... until the brief but blistering solo thing, where it's a 7 for 5 seconds. Hang on tight!

 

Royal Republic is catchy radio rock with a fairly medium difficulty chart on each instrument.

 

Moon Theme is a METAL COVER of the NES Duck Tales game, fuck yeah. Like Lost!, it's a short, fairly easy Adv on lead, until he wildly shreds on the solo.

 

And Ne Oblivscaris is beautiful and brutal across the board. A great 9+ for the week the gods rest.

You forgot to remove my last week's outro banner ;) Now we should do it for the Ducks!

Year 200X was a lot more easyi to fake than Royal Republic ;)

Here are the first tries of the week :

 

 

 

Underwear deserve some serious work...

[diceslinger]

I really enjoyed Lost

 

 

 

 

Royal Republic...never disappoints.  They do what they do un-apologetically.  I hate to say it, but they may be growing on me.

This was much harder back when I tested the song :D

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week280/lead/i02.png

Feels like I'm playing a lot better than 85 %, but the song has so few notes.

Rhythm has some nasties in this one

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week280/rhythm/i02.png

I don't like 138 "chords". Perhaps I'll learn them this week.

So, my first listen of this weeks Intermediate song had me going "yow, I maybe should have stayed at the beginner level", but after a few more listens, I gave it a try at sightreading and didn't do too bad, so into repeater I go.  Even gave a couple shots at the rhythm and bass parts too.  The song grew on me through the repeats too.  Hope to work on those runs in the guitar parts and improve the lead and/or rhythm score.  Bass was just to see what it was like compared to the other parts.

 

Lead: 88.7%

 

 

Rhythm:  86.3%

 

Bass:  90.9%

Wow, this is insane. More like a difficulty 12  :lol: If this was a more enjoyable song to listen to, I'd probably give it a few more attempts. But sadly I think it sucks.

[MellonFarmer]

Time to bring my player rating back down to earth..

 

 

[ZeroPingNZ]

Late start this week, just came back from a trip in New Zealand, went to see The Eagles :) Tried to play some of their songs in Rocksmith but way beyond my skill :(

 

 

 

 

 

I like the Intermediate song this week, will need to practice a lot but it's doable

 

 

 

 

 

[ZeroPingNZ]

Not quite sure how to play this part with fingers... I can confidently do it at 75%. Tried a pick and can go up to 85%, then it becomes a mess.

hour RR on the solo =

 

(failed attempt 2)
 

more RR another day!
