I guess I have discovered I don't know how to bend notes or RS can't detect them. Does anyone else have issues with bend detection?

Some charts have such a fast bend that i think the game cannot detect it properly, if i'm not mistaken (i played this song 4 days ago) this song has this, or am i wrong?

I can't play properly with a pick Must practice more of this:

yea i tend to have issues aswell and find i usually have better luck it detecting if i slide into that note instead of bending . Which to me means i guess i dont bend to the right note on time/ long enough (what satinuke was saying) . It should be 100% able tho just be carefull on the arrows for how many semitones to bend and to go down aswell when it goes down (although you probably know this since you have it in guitar pro)

At worst just slow it down in rr and try to nail it. It is possible, but detection can be a bit wonky sometimes.

Which is also why i suggested you to work on cambred instead of 100% threedays grace a couple of days ago. Cause its a better use of time imo to practice something from 0 to 98 rather than 98 to 100 as it might just be a rocksmith issue (not right setup or wtver). |Unless its just a song you really like and want to memorize/ play in live which fair enough.

If you use headphones you can technicly record what you play dry signal/isolated from music with your phone and play it back to see if it sounded right. Or use a daw to record it if you ever have used one. That way you know for sure you did goof up or not if you want to get technical. And i think thats what matters best is that it sounds right rather than %

I can't. I mess my fingers. I mess my strings. I'm getting angry that means it's time to stop.

And I can't coordinate myself fast for middle 2-3-4-5-strings part.

yep lol

maybe this can help you if you decide to again:

nailing just the rhythm with open strings so 0red 0blue 0rred 0orange 0 blue 0 orange 0red 0blue 0rred 0orange etc (practice this till its natural)

(When i play it with a pick i noticed i only hit the string down i dont alternate (aka up+down)... is that efficient? probably not but it confuses me less.)

if you cant with a pick going only down or alt maybe its easier for you fingerpicking. just place a finger on each string

so you can either do:

thumb red, pointer blue, middle orange (holdpick with ringfinger + pinky curled up)
(thumb you stroke down and other fingers u move up towards you )

or
thumb red, middle blue, ring orange and ( hold pick with pointer) this might be easier for switching back to picking after that section

(i kinda prefer finger style but they are both fun /usefull skills to have)

anyways once you can with pick or fingerstyle then just fret the red strings with the one finger indicated.

CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!!!

YEEEAHHH!!!

Thanks again to my compadre @ cacahuate51 who is hosting another great week!

My intention was to be fully active this week, but that didn't happen... However I managed to practice my challenge for lead-advanced.

I know is not an impressive score, but for me it's an achievement to survive the score attack in lead-7 and reach to the 90s...

Guitar improvements

Overall this song doesn't strike me as overly difficult, but the notes go pretty fast and I have some unrecognized notes in the Hammer-Ons/Pull-Offs parts.
