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

this was a real good run

Great job!

 

I'm going to give it a go this evening, but solos are not my strongest skill. I was amazed i got through the Rythmn "lead" parts okay. The bends were tricky.

 

Everyone is pulling out great scores right before the deadline tomorrow. I love it!

 

Keep up the great work.

Forgot to say, that red X was a case of FURS!

 

 

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

Well, I'll still try to make sure I beat you by at least that margin (though it was apparently 4 notes on the 23rd fret. Clearly haven't RRed that section enough...).

 

Practicing the transition to the transition to the high fast stuff (which, as could be seen in my "99.01%" screenshot, I've screwed up in the past), the melodic part, and the solo are going pretty well. Though as @@lordlk puts it, I seem to have some FURS trouble in the melodic part, as I'm getting misses random non-slide notes in there that I'm nearly certain I'm hitting appropriately. Usually only 2-3 per run, but still enough to be annoying.

The fight for third is still real

Int Lead 87%, 94 streak

Just to keep my place on die hard men,

Not getting much in the way of free time to play this week, or next week probably  :(

 

Great song btw :)

And that should wrap up the bass, first part of the solo was perfect

http://s13.postimg.org/9krlqlebb/2015_06_05_00004.jpg

Pretty sure I can still beat that if things go well, but beating it by 4 notes (meaning 7 misses, I think) is probably not going to happen. Definitely possible, but I'd really have to keep cool and play my best or very close to it for every section. Well done, @@then3verend!

 

Edit: Just going to leave this here for now.

 

Edited June 5, 201510 yr by albatross213

It's about 11 notes from perfect, which can easily be lost in the solo and the slides in the outro, never mind the fact the melodic section can easily slip you up.

I put enough work into that though, I'm getting scared :P

OK, I'm really happy with my progress, but it seems I cannot go above this score for today.

 

Not 97% but still happy :p

 

It seems I have to work on the powerchords strums to be consistant and on the quick "slides" on B/Em strings.

I know it's not my class, but it seems I'm in good company:

Did I say how much I really, really like this song?  Excellent choice, @.

Well, @@then3verend doesn't have enough frets, while Rocksmith seems to hate me this week. One silly miss that was all on me, but there were at least two places where Rocksmith screwed me. Figured this was worth an update, but hopefully I'll improve on this soon.

Video coming soon. Almost done processing.

 

Edit: Video. Check out 4:30 and 7:16 for places where I was totally f***ed over.

Well shoot, I saw that video...

You got the win if you can put it together, but fatigue is a thing, and I won the endurance test of 10,000 days.

This took me way too many tries

I should be able to play this better.  Those skips from 6 to 9th fret over the two strings have a shade of Bob Marley's "Stir it up" about them...

You can read comments on cdlc sometimes :P Orion transposed to 21 fret bass in bonus arrangement. It's only LaS, but you can still earn 100% there.

I would like to point out that on songs like Orion on bass, some of us have a Fender P-Bass. There is only 20 frets on a P-Bass. This song is impossible to play for us.

That's something we can't jump over. It happens also with guitar, as probably most of us has 22 frets. But it's rare, and only small parts of the song.

I would like to point out that I have a lovely 24 fret Yamaha.  :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just wish I knew how to use all of those 24 frets…  :lol:

@@Gamut, can`t imagine how you got there >94%, this arpeggio so fast so much skip strings, some randomly notes move to my face.

I learned only 2 phrases of may be 10. Other 8 something impossible for me.

Updated score:

@@genobadass - you just have to bend everything a lot  :P​. But as @@Mortalo says, most of the time (especially on bass) the specifics of your equipment should have little effect on the outcome. And if it does affect the outcome, in the end it's just internet points. (Also, since there are few other places in the song where you need the G string, you could maybe tune it sharp, BS your way past the tuner using other strings, and then learn how to adjust notes accordingly. By tuning the G string a half step sharp and moving the fast D string run in the second section of the solo the the "G" string you could play everything except the G23s in the final section).

 

Anyway, I'm probably going to do some other stuff for a few hours. I'll continue the assault later tonight.

I think Kirk Hammett is part of Customsforge, and we have it right here

Right.  I'm going to sleep on this now:

I might be better in the morning.  (There's a good chance I will be better in the morning because not as much alcohol will be involved…  ;) ).

 

I just wish I'd practiced it earlier in the week, but the song just seemed difficult, and I was really happy with the other song selections. :)

The outro solo is unplayable with my Les Paul, but here is another try

First run today was something, look at streak -  537, and further lost fret position at solo  :)  :
