Damn, what is worst about the championship is that i can't play relaxed, and that causes big misses and ending with my hands shacking. Don't know if i'm the only one feeling like that 

As others have said, I think it has a lot to do with how comfortable you are playing everything in the song, and also something to do with how much pressure you're putting on yourself to do well (though I don't think I've ever come out of attempting to 100% a relatively easy song with a racing pulse).

 

When I'm both seriously challenged and want to do well I usually end up with my pulse racing and... I wouldn't say my hands are shaking, but the tension makes it so that I'm not nearly precise as I usually am. This happened all the time with Addicted to that Rush last week. Even if I got reasonably good at the later tapping sections they were still way too fast and complicated for me to deal with and I'd always tense up and screw up since, although I could practice them calmly in riff repeater, I knew so much of my score was dependent on those sections and put a lot of pressure on myself on them. Even some songs that I'm not trying to score attack or anything can leave me like this if they're tough pretty much from start to finish.

 

As for what you can do about it beyond just getting more skilled, that's something I'll have to think a bit more about. The most obvious thing, as others have mentioned, is to remind yourself that it's not just about the score, but also an opportunity to have fun and listen to and play some great music.

Beeeeeeerrrrr here

As one of the more competitive people here(trash talking and other "heel" tactics) it does pay off to have that surge when you know you just had a kick-ass run and have the score show it.

While I take things more personal for stupid reasons(beating @@Blazikiller for requesting Fall of Troy, multiple rivalries with various comptetitors, and my hiatus). It is probably the most fun I have. I do try to not cross a line and piss people off for real, but I enjoy playing, being frustrated, and having that desire not only to score better but to be better.

 

To the people not having fun/panicking over a really great run of a song/etc.:

We get a new song every week, and each song has its qualities to make it awesome, imagine how fun it is to show off and say"hey look I can do this." If it isn't your cup aloft tea, find a song that is and request it, so WE can enjoy it as well.

That was fun!

 

I might try lead soon, but I doubt I can get through it without 3 X's in Score Attack :)

a first bass score, bad run

Thanks for the words guys!

I think the main problem is myself, i know that i play really good, but when a song of the championship is chosen, i just push myself very hard, and my brain is sayng the whole song  "don't fuck it up". And that is were i just get nervious and i start missing notes, and end up with my hand shacking and a little bit frustrated. I don't know, every time i tried to change the way i play for the championship, and i always had in mind that the score is not the first but well...damn brain hahaha :D 

Changing that will take time, but i know i can

P.S:

Saw Machine Head a few hours ago, and man...WHAT A SHOW! I'M SO HAPPY

Yo thats really weird...just got back from Royal Blood and I also got a drumstick...Maybe all CS players get drumsticks from shows today...oh and btw...MC Bassists...we need to step up our game...He plays all of that on the bass...and yeah...there's only two people in the band.

When they played Little Monster, I sung along with the guitar...first time I've seen a song that's been played on the CS, from what I remember, the tabs were pretty close.

http://s23.postimg.org/tvbz84w4b/IMAG0039_1.jpg

I think they rubbed off me a little

http://s30.postimg.org/utomn7tfl/2015_06_05_00001.jpg

 

But then I was like "wait...I want to have the first RECORDED 99% run"

http://s22.postimg.org/dhup999tt/2015_06_05_00002.jpg

Dunno how much that can improve though...I only have 22 frets on my bass, and there's some 23's in the solo, one including a bend.

Hopefully I can get one more run in with the final streak...depends on how good that bird guy wants to be....

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/files/2010/11/albatross.jpg

Just a +2 and a +1 for today.

Took me forever to get a run where I didn't choke up on a phrase or two. Managed to keep the flow smooth this run, even when I did drop notes!

Screenshotted this a while ago, did a couple more plays but have yet to break 91. Don't see myself getting into the 95+ group, so I'm just gonna call it here.  :P

+, lead

Orion Lead

MasterClass Lead - 88%, 203 streak

I had to give it a real go.

 

Beginner Bass - 100%, 364 streak, 1.138.033 score

Perfect bass line for me, it just fits my skills.

So, you're saying I need to beat you by 3 notes in order to feel like I've really won?

 

And what happened to

 

I will have some runs tonight, my last until Saturday...

? One of your mind games?  :blink:

Hey everyone B)

 

http://s9.postimg.org/aot86tmnj/rocksmith.jpg

Good scores everyone ;)

 

Oh and why is there a beg/int song? still didn't managed why :huh:

First one is no, I'm just stating what my limits are, and if you pass it, then you passed my limit, congrats.

 

Second one wasnt true at all i guess, I didn't think I'd have much more time this week to get some good runs in

(Had the Royal Blood show, and work the rest of the days), that and I was getting sick of the song. I also never put the solo in RR like I said I was(I did last night)...so I guess I'm playing mind games with myself too...yaaaay

that's the lead if not anyone come up with a better one

http://up.picr.de/22143450zv.jpg

this was a real good run

Oh and why is there a beg/int song? still didn't managed why :huh:

Because Beginner Lead song turned out to be too difficult. And I did not wanted to change whole song.

Probably last score for this week
