And a little bit of bass.

you are 100% right...

unfortunately this competition is not to "play the song as you here it correctly" but more like "play the best whatever you can see on the screen"

sometimes i am very surpriced how the song sounds when i listen to it on spotify after playing it in RS...

You are also right, but I'm here to be a better bass player, not a better computer player. I'm okay at playing computer (and I also practice that often). But you're right: I'm not going to win the competition with that attitude.

Anyway... I also think the song is rather tedious (at least this bass part)... so this week I'm probably not going to win.

I've had some playthroughs, and the accuracy has gone a little up. I think my final score for this weeks intermediate song is this:

I've also marginally improved my funky style:

I don't know if I can do more. @diceslinger really great score.

I thought I would share a project that @Rodman and I recently finished.

I'm taking a recording and mixing class, and one of the assignments needed a one minute minimum recorded piece with three tracks, then we had to overdub two more tracks. Most of the class are music majors, so I assume it was no big deal for them, however I was at a loss for what to do. Rodman happened to message me, so I asked if he would record a few chord progressions that I could try to do something with. Man, he was all over it and within a few hours had a verse and chorus section recorded. I put some Band in a Box drums to it, noodled out a melody and a song started taking shape. I've been wanting to write a song for a while, so this seemed like a good opportunity. I wrote some lyrics about the coronavirus lockdown and recorded them as an overdub. I sent it over to Rodman and he recorded lyrics for the chorus, and we each recorded a solo. I mixed it using what I've been learning, and boom...a song! So here it is, Lockdown, and original song by Rodman and Diceslinger!

great, but now you need to record a bass to complete. That's really missing

Oooh....are you volunteering for the next one?

Would be good for Advanced bass, probably 6, although I played it with a pick

Meh, weird. I'm not as smart or enlightened to enjoy Tool!

I got an 87 on this, accidentally deleted my screenshot and am too lazy to re-do it. So here's my second best

Didn't have much time for the Championship this week as I've used more of my Rocksmith time working on my own customs (latest is Unknown Mortal Orchestra - So Good at Being in Trouble).

I think this is more of a 4 than a 3 but it's classed correctly at intermediate:

This bass chart is largely wrong but it doesn't sound terrible and it's reasonably fun to play IMO:

Ah, Tool...all the fast alternating strings, for 10+ minutes. At the beginning I struggle, then I get the hang of it, then by the end I'm just ready to be done. And I don't care to replay for a higher score:

didn't remember to take a screenshot for it, and don't know if i can bring myself to play 10,000 Days again. such a slog, and I skipped over this song every damn time I listened to the album

Hi All, I Started with the Editors as they are one of my favourites....

then on to the others

I haven't played in a while so just getting back into it.... slowly improving i hope

Ugh. First time i remember to submit in time, and Steam needs a full reinstall and I lose all CDLC. I redownload RS and fire up the Tool tab. Not working, at all. Sigh. I *did* get 94% on bass, but i guess without the screenshot it's kinda hearsay.

Back up your CDLC, kids!
