Whoa, I thought that the Telephone song was the Beginner song for Lead.  Oops.

INXS is much more my speed -- instead of my playing sounding terrible, that was merely not good!  Progress!

Little improvement here...

I'm sure I can do better! (I alreday did but I missed the "screen shot" thing believe me or not :wacko: ) 

I'm getting really REALLY tired of playing this song, Rocksmith is just messing with me with random misses

I wonder if i really understood what i was playing would i do better? probably not!  i guess it will sink in as time goes by. 

 

at least this championship is making better!!!

Played until my fingers bled... well no, not really, Brian Adams did... mine have callous' like elephants knees, that said, finger dandruff might need vacuuming up because if the floor gets wet, it'll look like the magic porridge pot spilled over.

 

I has a video but it's a bit rubbish, huge f'cups everywhere :)

 

I maded this! It's pants, but my hat is awesome. I've clearly had too many cups of coffee today.

 

 

Another score but worse accuracy (I didn't play 3 phrases at the end because, sucking)

Not much time again this week, Sky is Mine easy/fun to play along with as Rhythm.

Kept losing the pattern on the INXS song even though I've played it a ton.

Very little time to play this week, so only today I did a couple of runs in SA...

Better score but still shit accuracy :( meh! The 4th from last phrase (I think) kicks my arse every time!

That section close to the end with the little accents up on the G string was a rough spot for me at first too, but some practice helped  me out a lot there.  Now my biggest issue is that it is very tough for me to get into the groove right at the beginning of the song, especially starting cold.  I need to play the intro 3-4 times with quick "restart song" selections a few bars in before my finger-brains activate or something.

This seems to be the best I can do (at least on the 3 hours of sleep I got last night).  I'm going to keep trying.  I just need one  clean run where I don't screw up any of these simple chords.

This week I played only

Sky is mine - Lead 9, fast, needs a very good synchronisation of left and right hand

Tio Sam - Bass 7-8 ,it's not so hard than it seems first but at a tough speed

- Lead 7, ska-typical offbeat with voicings, solo not really hard but also at good speed (of course it's the same song)

- Rhythm 6-7, similar than lead but with rhythm variations and of course no solo, in the end just chords, slightly easier tha lead

just my opinion

http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/40858161215837430/BECA0A202AFA63FED848D02AE680BFAD3953FFE7/

 

Better accuracy again but DREADFUL score! I really dislike Rocksmiths contradictory score v's accuracy structure... I'd like to think accuracy would accrue a better score rather than just being able to play the simple parts of a song to garner a decent score... some of these phrases are long and just playing one note so it's unlikely you're going to bum out during the twanging of the open A string interval that's longer than the verse and chorus put together. Anyway, that aside, practicing the end phrases at the moment and gradually improving and given when I first played the song I'd completed a MASSIVE 6% of the song before thinking "fooky'ell this is unpossible!" and putting myself straight in to riff repeater on 75%, I'm pretty pleased with my progress :)

 

@@MilkmanDan I don't think I'm going to manage 100% on this but you're right, the phrase at the end needs a fair bit of attention, I concentrated on learning the main verse for most of this week so I tend to start out well and then it just goes Pete Tong at the end :) I've noticed my memory is getting better though... one day I might know more than 2 songs all the way through on Master mode! :D

So that´s it for me this week - really fun!

 

Really waitin for the new songs - hope i find an hour later to start :)

Here goes @@MaZtoR's scores (as he's unable to post them himself):

I have 2 scores again... the drastic difference is really irritating me with the %age and the score itself. Which one would you go with? High score or High %age  accuracy? My mind is boggled :(

And Yesssssssssssssssss,

 

Here is my last score for this one.

I think, I'm the one for this Week.

I Would like to thank, my parents, my friends, my guitar, my coach, paint... (without them That would not have been possible)

:D  :D  :D

@@steroma lol a special thx for paint :)

Final try with Video... like a woman possessed I tell thee! Not quite 100%, the anticipation of the last few phrases scared me in to messing up but on the whole... IMPROVED! :D

... these solos were really killing me, especially in Lead. But to be honest I started practicing too late :-(

If you miss a note before passing checkpoint your multiplier falls back to the last point. If you miss the notes very early or very late or directly after passing a point you will have a higher score than missing the notes somewhere in the middle i.e. before passing the 50s point.
