@@durdensbuddy not sure if it's because I am trying to view your link from my phone, but it seems to be broken :(

Yep, it's broken 

Thanks for letting me know

 

I - 99.5 with a 220 streak    http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/539626645667612198/32891820BDE3C584265A320A22A2950BA290006F/

 

Now heres a question, my next play was a lower percentage/higher score.  Should I post that one?

 

 

B - 99.77 I think a lot of the time I was doing better at actually hitting those triplets than previously  http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/539626645668245231/9AB860414F085FE53D0687B90126E1C3412FF7D7/

 

 

A - ACTUALLY have a score!!!!  WOOT   88.66   http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/539626645668248329/FAF0AEBFB72481CB87DDB3B6B6527E9043FA91EE/

@@durdensbuddy - better post the higher percents

 

bass in MC is also fun

http://s14.directupload.net/images/140917/gw9occll.jpg

and then a tiny improvement I thought....

http://s1.directupload.net/images/140917/jt3w3vau.jpg

in this case the first one with higher percentage is better, the second with higer score and higer streak is lower, just 0,04% less but loose

@, that's what I figured, but wasn't sure. 

 

It is, but it's got a stretch that just kills my hand.  I'm going to try and get a score by the weekend.

I finally broke down and practiced the bit that I was having trouble with in the riff repeater:

G:---------
D:---------
A:-----5-7-
E:-5h7--6--

I was missing at least one note in those bits ^^^ over half of the time until I RR'ed the last section on slowdown to 75% and worked my way up to 100%.  Now I hit it correctly (most of the time).  I think I had to play it on slowdown to realize that I should play the 5th/6th/7th frets with pointer/middle/ring respectively in spite of the string jump from A to E in the middle there.  That got me a new personal accuracy best:

 

I think that puts me in a tie for 2nd place currently with you, @ -- lets see if we can give @@Num14 a run for his money.  :D

its like my hands just forget the riff at the end of the song and i start mucking up hah oh well maybe ill have another go tomorrow

Cant seem to stay away from the championship.  Tried some emulated bass today.  Feeling a bit of G.A.S coming my way.

@ Maybe we should make a deal with a guitar company, to take profit from people buying basses. Ups... not here :P

Int rhythm: 94,05% 155 streak.

This is only playing the song itself without most of the solo... I'm too lazy to try to learn it ATM, should be closer to 98/97 if I learn it, but as of now, cba to learn it lol.

They are very close to my score D:

I should play it again now

Will have another go at it this week... hopefully

First time in the Championship. Looks like it could be a lot of fun. Great playing by everyone so far.

 

Can't wait to try the other two songs this week!

Hi polyduster!

Thx for taking away the lead :angry:

 

No - really: gr8 u r here, lots of fun and always a nice battle :)

passed barely :P

{pic snip}

 

First try today:

 

So close, but you've still *just* got the lead where it counts the most -- accuracy!   B)

 

Playthrough video:

I played it cold, first song of the day with no warmup.  So my timing suffered a bit (I'm a bit loose / floaty), but Rocksmith was generous and gave me the benefit of the doubt on some pretty iffy stretches.  I'll see if I can tighten it up and push into the lead -- quite the fun competition we've got going this week!

major +

 

Beginner lead:

http://downloads.oddbeat.de/rocksmith_w47_bl.jpg

 

Intermediate rhythm - I think this is actually a beginner rhythm arrangement. After all, the majority of the song is comprised of the same 3 repeating open chords with a very simple strumming pattern.

http://downloads.oddbeat.de/rocksmith_w47_ir.jpg

did anyone noticed the wrong notes in the Metallica song? It's at all 3 arrangements the part in the middle, always changing between E and B, but listen to the song and it have to be E and A, the guitar maybe with a hammer on G to A . No problem to play it like it's written there, but if the tones would be louder I think everyone would hear the wrong notes, sounds awful.

@ Im not noticed. Which is the number section in RR with wrong notes?

Today was chord training day.  Gave the int rhythm song a few tries.

And then tried lead again.

Still a crappy score, but its better than last time.  Hoping for better tomorrow or Saturday.

Wasn't there for a while, and figured out that i missed Sultan of Swing last week :(

 

Good news is This week's Mary Jane is even better :)

 

I remember me saying the first time i played it: "That is such a wonderful song, I don't care if i have to play it 50 times, but i want to be able to play it."

And here we go, I just played it the 50th time right now. :D

http://s14.directupload.net/images/140918/5ho2dxd6.png

Seeing the other scores ashamed me a bit though  :ph34r:

 

Well I always just enjoyed it and played trough, guess that's the chance now to finally cram RR and get it over 90 :)
