You guys mean the octaves? Aren't octaves like bass playing  101?

Octaves may not be difficult if we hit them in a streak on eg 3-5 frets. They can also be difficult if the frets change quickly. Here I meant that part, but maybe you are right that it is not too difficult. Just when I played it a few times, I always got misses there.

Can we agree on a 5 - 5.5?

Start

Easy enough, this could even be a beginner.

I tested this song a long time ago and gave it a 6 and I think it's an ok rating. Some technical chords playing. (Old screen)

6-6.5

Easy, easy, easy and solo!  So 8 is ok.

I think anything above 4.5 will be ok.

Most of these need a redo, I'm not at my best today.

Some scores from last night 

I really wanna get this solo down, but that first part especially is tough to get clean

[avastreg]

Octaves are not 101 imho, not something i've come across until now and i am definitely going to struggle on this. Compared with e.g. Blitzkrieg Bop there is a definite step up.

Octaves bass 201 confirmed. I feel it's a pretty standard technique though, depending on what genres you play.
Given how slides 201 is listed as intermediate it'd probably be fair to assume the same for this too but I doubt the rs lessons follow the championship rating system lol.


Other than that though the main tricky part of octaves is mostly the speed and I don't feel these are too fast but they might take some practice. Most of the first things tried to learn on bass were octave based though so I'm probably biased.

A bit too fast for my sight reading

Whats going on guys?? opened rocksmith today and flashes up the white screen then shuts down ?? is it all over ??

 

[avastreg]

improving

this made me suffer and sweat... and it was very bad playing  I've practiced the parts but can't reach >80% / 85%  without losing a lot of control

would you guys still count my score if i used a pitch shifter on the customs forge song manager next time we have a song thats in a different tuning from e standard

I use a digitech drop for all weird tunings.   I think it should be no issue at all, however, I am not sure if there is some official rule on this.
