Thx! Thats one supernice guitar. There is no better color for that one in the world.
Rock!

Indeed. For the HH I think there's the Surf Green, the red (I think candy apple) and the Lake Placid Blue. I lucked out on finding this for $450. Just so happens that'd be the color I would have chosen for the HH model. I was really interested in the original American model due to the shape (which I really like) but I found the features less interesting because it was basically a Tele in a different shape -- this model has the HH, which is more unique vs. my other guitars and it has the coil tapping (which I don't have on any other guitar) as well as the unusual volume inverse button. I don't have another one quite like this one.

Old The Sword is great, but New The Sword is underrated.

Biffy Clyro has really grown on me over the years. No lyrics quite like theirs, very emotional songs.

And after Eb power metal last week, I couldn't help but throw in one of my absolute favourites I've discovered through Rocksmith. This song's unrelenting and jawdropping all the way through.

[Beginner Bass]

Sounds Like Balloons hit the sweet spot for me of easy but engaging - had a perfect run on my sight read until the unexpected little fill at the very end:

And just for fun I tried the intermediate and advanced songs. What's New Scoobie Doo was tricky but a good practice for string skipping, and Tears Like Diamonds was a fun challenge. Amazingly I had never heard of The Sword despite being a fan of similar bands.

Ah, 450... ok, you got that lil damage on the edge, but that only makes it more interresting - great deal!

This week I'm starting with Bass:

True 3:

I went with the flow and played Biffy again. For fun

Scooby Doo is fast. I'd give 5:

I rate it 6. Pretty technical bass:

What the hell? What is this? My fingers almost fell off, should it be playing with a pick? Anyway, some parts seem impossible to play!

Jakobgreve · November 16, 2020

Fun to play but man that solo just keeps me from posting it on score attack oh well, bit better accuracy here

Oh fxxxs ... that is nice! Soo country style.

Really nice tone, the PRS does not let you down, i see.

Ph...

What do we do next.

I have not been thinking about that cause i thought you'd take a while to get it to tape....

But i can shoot from the hip...

# Hotel California

Or

# Wish you where here (Rednex / Blackmore's Night (Knights))

Or

# Sheperd of Fire (A7x)

Yay

Hotel California gets my vote. Going to have to learn some fingerstyle for the intro.

RedVarg91 · November 16, 2020

Apparently all I needed to get to 90% was a good night sleep (got 90% and 219 streak) but..
EDIT:
Now's more like it

MaZtoR · November 16, 2020

Rhythm time.

Gamut · November 16, 2020

I'm getting better at the crazy part.

Jakobgreve · November 16, 2020

Well, excact same % as my last play but at least no strikes this time, and better score as well i guess

superfun, love it

esp. if you like me refuse to use plektrums when on bass

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa... you're saying you *didn't* use a pick on this one, and kept up?! lol Damn!

On first playthrough, after a minute, I realized I was not prepared to play this with any less than four plucking fingers... so I grabbed a pick. Good job!
