Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 503

[jellisjenius]

@ nlbsmglsk  It had been a while since I played Shooting Star...just tried it again on my initial run for the week and I think it has enough variation to be a challenge. The ending section even creeps into Adv-level territory a bit. I'd say 5.5 but could see an argument for 6. 

I didn't expect you to change it at this point, no worries. When I saw it was selected I thought I must have misremembered what I rated it, only realized I rated it a 5 when I checked in the SSL. In any case, it's a classic.

My initial scores for the week:

Cool song...I had downloaded it but never played it before:

This song was inspired by rock stars dying young from alcohol and drug abuse in the early 70s (Morrison, Joplin, Hendrix):

I can see how the more hard core players would enjoy this...for me the fun was quite ruined by the runs of arpeggios that no normal human could play:

My first score for advanced bass so far this week 

WOW! Bravo!

You just got promoted and are already raising the bar! 

Tough competition but exciting challenge. I hope I have time to improve my score this week...

Should go to bed, but not before playing a little! 

"Lost on you" is a perfect song if you just want to play something relaxed...

I think I am playing the Rhythm part almost OK, but it is really hard for me to get a perfect streak playing chords...So I am not happy with this result...

If I ignore that, this is an enjoyable song to play.

I enjoy the Lead guitar is playing the same as the singing melody.... 

It is a beginner song but needed a little bit of practice!

I don't own a capo, so I thought let me try the intermediate song. I am just now learning its supposed to be finger picked from this thread lol! Yeah I got bored of practicing the solo bits over and over when they are just way out of my speed wheelhouse right now.

@ Argh1992  if you have rubberbands and a pencil/pen you can make your own capo lol

I played this on the vibe of another amazing Irons concert I attended this week! Up the Irons!

Bonus ODLC for the full album.

Really good, the band is in great shape and setlist was significantly different than at the concert last year. I was only hoping to be closer to the stage but the crowd was amazing and I only managed to get somewhere 1/4 of the way from the stage.  Here you can clearly see (opening song - obviously not my video):

Slight improvement...the ending really tripped me up this time. I'm starting to think it's a legit 6 even though the first 3/4 of the song is more Int level.

[kayteck]

No luck in improving on this one :(... too difficult... my 1st try was the best... i have played like 15 times but surprisingly only worst scores between 39 and 44%. completely not my style of playing...
