*they dont have audio cause i am using a focusrite and idk how to capture the audio (if anyone knows how thatd be great)*
not sure how helpfull itll be without audio lol but something is better than nothing..maybe you can play audio from spotify/ another window yt ?
hopefully youll get to use a pc soon to post your scores 

Thank you so much, you are a star

Some Rhythm. I'll try to play Blues Brothers song later.

This is the score from testing song in the past, I don't remember chart but score indicates that it is easier than Post Malone song.

@ Mikson yea.. possibly? there is less chord changes in calvin harris song/ less variation and less memorization so i can see how it could be an easier song even begginer like they had suggested .
(and i think everyone will goof up on the G#chord @ Vodka  mentioned which might cause to have a lower score on postmalone) 

I just went off the fact we had mentioned in a previous week those chords in calvin harris are more intermediate than begginer.

But i do think when evaluating a song the other elements (repition, variation, length, speed) might be more important than the actual chords... Cause even though they might be more "complex " chords, theres less learning per se when playing the song...so should be easier to grasp overall. 

post malones is a good begginer song to level up though..dont think it should be intermediate for that 1 pesky chord xD
but yea im always happy reducing difficulty on songs. its good to make it more dificult/ a challenge for the people in the class imo. 

would be good to see others opinion/ numbering on this to know for future/ and maybe change or add to the compendium if needed?

@ Daz40 tbh most artists wont copyright strike the songs with the audio ( itll just say you cant upload it). ive only gotten one once  when i had already uploaded it and that was a song i tabbed by richard cheese. And after sending messages to his team i believe they removed the strike? i did take it down anyways.

do you by any chance use an audio interface? i would like to get back to uploading stuff but its kinda pointless if i dont have audio anymore (when recording them) xD

[Daz40]

No I just use original cable although I do want a focus rite or something similar , as I hear a little popping every now and then with the sound down.

I do play like this sometime dry with no sound see how my playing sounds 
just got this with post Malone song  so as you say would be ok to upload 

I had the song volume on 1 darn YouTube picks up on everything

I guess It just means If you were a content creator the original artist would receive  royalties

a lot of plays on this I was mucking around with OBS settings

Still not happy with that

[Daz40]

fun song and a workout with all those lovely 16th notes or maybe I'm just tired a 7:30am Night Night.
Yep if you 99% this you are welcome in the Advanced club I believe

hmm im not sure an interface would help out with the popping tho?. usually when i had popping issues with a rocksmith cable it meant the computer just had too much running in the background. like maybe too many windows in chrome or something.

that is wild ive never really tried playing just the notes with no music. but i guess it is a good way to see if something is off..if you remember the song well enough or ig like in your video if you put volume of track near zero.

ok yea my bad, you wont get a copy right STRIKE (if you get 3 they can close your account) but you will get copyrighted / wont be able to monetize the videos because you are playing someonelses song.

infact if i remember correctly that even occurs if you hum a melody to the song in the video...which is why for the longest time alot of vlogers/ youtubers  avoided music that wasnt non copyrighted/ made for libraries cause they would no longer be able to monetize their own content...but maybe its changed now? dont think so since you got copyrighted  with barely any volume xD.

why upload rs videos if you cant monetize them?..yea idk..i was just doing it for fun lol/ to remember i was able to play a song decently at one time xD. Im guessing actual streamers must get donations or if they are popular enough maybe they get sponsershipped? but tbh the only popular rs yt ive watched is riff repeater or chainbrain so  

btw, what are you using to see the note acuracy? cause i remember rs sniffer? used to have something like that but not sure if it is that or something else. looks neat and usefull though. that way i dont have to use score attack to see when i miss and that way i can see the lyrics.

I uploaded to YouTube, well did I don’t as often now, never been told off for it, though I’m playing over the top and it’s mainly my guitar you can hear, as I turn my song volume down to 35 and guitar up to 100. Though when streaming live on twitch it’s usually 85 guitar 95 music. Never got a copyright strike, though YouTube Warns me this is a copyrighted song and I can’t monetise though at 18 subscribers I don’t think I’ll be doing that anyway.

Regarding fizzing/popping etc… I don’t know how you guys cope, I bought a HP Omen 16 laptop last week and sold my MacBook M1 I tried every driver ever Asio driver, several DLL’s and I couldn’t my guitar to pick up either on Bias FX on Rocksmith either through the RS cable or the Scarlet 2i2, it was a nightmare. I refunded the laptop and got a MacBook Pro M1 Pro and you plug things it and it works. I did have a iMac boot camping windows 10, 5 years ago and that just worked no issues, so I’m guessing I got a faulty laptop.

I'm on a Mac (desktop iMac from 2019) using an inexpensive Sterling H224 Audio Interface instead of a RealTone cable. The thing that makes it work on a Mac is this:

I’ll give this a try later when I’m practising thank you  

Edit: It worked and some of my songs I couldn't get any better suddenly went up a few percentage for example Cryin by Satch went from 85% to 88% since the recognition is better with the Scarlett 2i2. How have I missed this for the few years whilst being a Mac player and it was so easy. Thank you for enlightening me with this valuable information. Bye Bye Rocksmith Cable

Well my left hand is hurts now. I tried and tried abd tried but can't get that chord unfortunately in lead. 

As rhythm part contains x6 more the chords I will not lie to myself and keep the song in this state for now.

Try and play It as you would a Cm barre chord then replace 4th finger with 3rd and move fourth finger too the 5th string

Always good to associate a chord to one you can already play

Yea I play Like that a lot without the music, also on songs I don't know mainly beginner/Inter.
I really think It Improves sight reading because you really have to concentrate on the screen, especially with tunes you don't know.

I guess the reason Rs does not have an accuracy reading In learn a song Is because then there Is no pressure on .
When In SA I definitely feel more stress. LOL

Yea that Is a Rocksniffer overlay In OBS you could just watch the obs screen.
How Is there not a mod for that overlay In RSMods would be cool!.

Yes I agree the Popping could be overload as I only have Integrated graphics and like to keep the browser open to add scores, I have buffer set to 576 I believe which works great,
but then when you are recording also Its probably a little too much.
Looking to get a cheapo sff low profile card that will sort It

yea what daz said.

and on top of that, what helped me get 100% in both paths (besides realizing i was playing the wrong chord most of the time)  was just practicing outside of rocksmith..

 c#Maj into that G# chord slow..until the movement felt natural/ i could do it without looking/ without it feeling awkward.. and then just keep speeding up....

then practice the G# to A#m same thing as above

then practice the 3 in succession..

i guess if you do it with a metronome itd be better and more uh measurable? to see if you are improving or not.. i just did it till it felt good/ was able to do it way faster than the song.

cause theres not much point of repeating the whole song imo if thats the only place you are having issues with...and the section is a bit too big for it to be worth using rocksmith aswell...unless you use rs mods and i believe you can set your own loop...but i just thought about that while writing this.

also i think you can kinda cheese it a bit if you just play the bottom 3 / dont play the yellow note..... but i dont suggest you to do so/ itd be better for you in the longrun to do it right

Good advice about starting with a Cm barre chord.  I came up with a variant based on a different familiar fingering.  I start by playing the octave c (with finger 1 on fret 3 of the A string and finger 3 on fret 5 of the G string).  Then my finger 2 is already hanging pretty much above fret 4 of the B string and it's not too hard to find fret 6 of the D string with finger 4 once everything else is in place.  It's not a barre chord this way - works for me in any case,.  I realize nothing is one-size-fits-all.... 

PS I feel a bit sheepish as an intermediate-level guitarist discussing chord voicings, but here goes one specific to Sweet Home Chicago and similar blues songs. That E7 chord voicing that everyone hates so much works well as a barre chord, because it's then very similar to the familiar barre D7 voicing except with fingers 3 and 4 move up to higher strings and finger 2 just drops into place.  Then it's much easier - at least for me - to slide that chord as a barre chord, something that happens a lot in Sweet Home Chicago.  It's also easier - again for me - to transition between that barre E7 and the barre A7 and B7 that also occur a lot in the second half of the song.
