Edited May 5 by jimmy655
This score is void, it was the bass track of the guitar CDLC rather than the separate bass CDLC.

First results:

I missed a note (I think)

 

Have to repeat the transition.

 

I think I can improve it.

Overall, this week seems I don't have issues in the songs, so I can only blame myself

[Mikson]

@ jimmy655  @ AndreCardoso  and other bass players who have already downloaded it.

In the Marillion song I added that there is a different CDLC for bass, and I put the same link as for guitar (stupid), so please download it again.

[jimmy655]

This is for the recently updated bass-only CDLC (by Slick Willy).

thanks @ Mikson  for saving once again the week! kudos.

my usual (bad) sightreading

From testing/previous playing

Lead

@ fripponomic  Another cool song from your band. This is one of the ones that I like more because I like such tunes, calm atmospheric sound of the verses and the stronger chorus and solo!

I played this a long time ago, so instead of looking for an old scrren, I played it again. This is a song where the bass chart is much more interesting than the guitar, but it also sounds good.

From the new album. Difficult for me, like most Judas songs. This may even be 8.5.

 

[Mikson]

Rhythm

The last time I played this song was probably 2-3 years ago. It was good to remember that.

Maybe 6.5 instead of 7. If anyone thinks so, let me know.

[Daz40]

Be interesting to see peoples thoughts of the rating on Judas priest ,
As It is well above my level but tried to rate as best I could.

multiplayer session with @ zbb  on bass, fun selection of songs

so cool to see anther Sparton song here again. 

Actually I play this and some others with my new fretless bass. It's pure fun, and in Rocksmith it is a big intonation challenge for me.

I recorded a playthrough with the fretless, don't care about scores and it's nicer to watch in learn a song. I also will try the master mode later.

I recommend to start the song with fingers, and for the second part continue with a pick.

 

[BubbleWrapDragon]

Haven't played any bass for a month but improved in the meantime from playing lead guitar

it looks first easy, but my hands cramp so heavily with the chord variations especially at the fast pace of the song 

[BubbleWrapDragon]

Might try both rhythm and lead this week

(7) seems fine for this one

 

 

 

Might be easier because it's so repetitive and therefore easier to learn (6)

Might be a little harder because it's so long (6)

First scores for this week!!

 

[aNDESmASAMUNE]

 IT'S CHAMPIONSHIP TIME!!! 

YEEAHH!!! 

@ Mikson  Thank you very much indeed for organizing the week again!!! Really appreciated!!!

( I also will try to host a week as soon as I can! )

----

And now, my challenges for this week in bass and lead... I like this Marillion song! Is it in 5/4 or something?

For now I am happy I reached 90% after some RR sessions...

 

 

 

[AndreCardoso]

Hi,

Is there a way to clear a score on Learn a Song? I did the whole Marillion song in practice at 50% and got 97% (I usually only do a couple of sections). And now I don't know if I'm improving or not (I strike at Score Attack)...

And many thanks to @Mikson (and all the other organizers) for all the hard work with the Championship!
