@@Nacholede but remember that the note detection with a lower gauge will be worse.

 

and no chance for lower tunings

Good point, otherwise i think i need to calibrate my guitar. I got it since 2010 and never calibrated it

lol read thy lyrics from the song :)

 

http://www.babymetalnewswire.com/lyrics/yon-no-uta/

 

yep that might be the case, but the song has a different meaning too.

I'll quote something here :)

 

'4 can either be said as yon or shi and death is pronounced in the same way as shi so a lot of Japanese consider the number 4 to be linked with death and consider it a bad number. 4 No Uta is a great play on words saying that 4 brings happiness and it doesn't mean to die, 'Shiawase no shi Shinu ja nai shi. The lyrics are very smart and in a way complex which is strange as it sounds like a very simple song :)'

 

''The number 4 has two readings in Japanese: native "yottsu" (yon, yo) and "shi" from (ancient) Chinese. Many people associate the number 4 with death because both are read as "shi", and they tend to avoid the number 4. This is common in China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. (the pronunciations differ a bit from that of Japanese). For example, many Japanese parking lots lack #4 & #9 (both 9 and pain are read as "ku").

This song is probably sung against such a superstition, claiming to associate the number 4 not with bad things but with good things.''

 

 

 

 

And the last fun fact is: this is the only song that the girls wrote. So if it sounds like a bunch of 15 y/o wrote this. They did :) :)

Yes @@Shiroo, there is one smart line in the lyrics :lol:

You man, complain about lyrics like old fart granddaddy. It is very funny a song, written by  very young girls for fun,  what that the Divine lyrics you want from them? listen to music and enjoy  B)

For me hat sounds like learning to count to seven. And I really belive they wrote it by themselves.
But for sure there is a deeper meaning in it.
We also have real stupid but funny lyrics in Germany like 'am Arsch hängt der Hammer' or just 'ach ja' the whole song through (F.U.I.S.D.E about 10 years ago). But they had no deeper meaning, just stupid but funny.

 

Even found a video of it, so you can guess what it means 'am Arsch hängt der Hammer' in a really bad quality  :)

Edited March 18, 201510 yr by frippchen

@ thx I can sing a song completely .

learned in 1 sec :) lol

Intermediate Lead - 95.82%, 165 streak

That's the most I can get without RR'ing too much. If I could get perfect run, I would get 0.5% more, so it's not worth it. It's quite fast, with some tough techniques. Hard Int song without solo.

I can't say that it wasn't fun. Yet, I can't take it serious and have to use some laughs. I think that I prefer girls running item shops, helped by loan-shark feries, hiring dungeon exploring heroes. 4 is not my favorite number, I believe :)

 

Intermediate Rhythm - 99.28%, 396 streak

Best accuraccy run. I'm sure I made 5 misses (but could be more). I got 3 in section coming after solo (single note sustains in rhythm).

I had to go about 5 times through precision tuner, but I finally could "play" it.

 

Beginner Lead - 90,47%:

I should block the tremolo bridge. It's a nightmare change the tunning.

After some RRing i got rid of those nasty exes.

And after that another try at the rhythm song.

My guitar is definitely on his last legs, this is what i could achieve so far

So..... When you dont like a song you play it 32 times to reach your target...... ;)

Oh, I want to tell you all about rule we decided to add (it's not yet in rules). We came up with it after awards became a reality. So, if you have the best score in higher class then where you participate, if you want to win there (and get the award), you need to leave your previous (lower) class. In example - looking at Leaderboard today, if Rodman would want Advanced Rhythm Winner Award, he would be need to leave Intermediate class and join Advanced.

 

Everyone can go up in class whenever he/she wants to. Going down is not so simple - 2 times in a row scoring <79%, or not participating in a class for 3 weeks (though you can go down only by one class).

 

That's it.

this weeks songs, while i enjoy them both, are kinda hard on me.

having a hard time even getting through SA.

 

one run where i had the luck that those double note bends didnt fuck me up

You Could be Mine 92,22%

 

have yet to get through SA in 4 No Uta Rhythm

@@Mortalo

 

With the ranking up, are we force to because at the moment of writing this I'm Top of both Inter and Adv bass (if Bold means that's participants of that difficulty).

 

I'd like to get the Adv award (of course if I'm still top at end of week ^^), but I feel that maybe that I'm getting lucky this week, although I could just be getting better.

 

So how would this work as I would like to advance and get better, but I'm not sure if I just got lucky or that I am getting there.

 

Thank to Rocksmith Champs I bet ^^.

 

P.S If you already answered this in your last post  I'm sorry but Little confused and really tried, as of writing this.

@@Mortalo Today I was TWICE absolutely certain I beat your score. . . The First try I wasn't THAT sure, because I lost pick halfway in the song, but the 2nd time I was ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. Turns out, Rocksmith doesn't like me and it is not the case. For my first good try ( I know you can only see 4 tries, but I restart everytime I fuck up in the middle of the song), I got fucking 309 streak, got my score even better. Turns out still not good enough

http://i.imgur.com/53NMXQq.jpg

For my 2nd time I got lower streak, but, I got almost 300k more score than my other times and almost 400k more than you :D :D

But I go very surprised as the song finished and I got even lower score. WTF?!?!

You don't have to tell me how Rocksmith works, I know, but still. I threw my hands like'a'fuckingchampion after my last try :D :D

And sstill, not enough -_-

 

Don't forget @@Mortalo I'll keep on trying :D
