I already had your version.  Had just not tried the bass part.

 

 

Little improvement.   I really like this song.

And bass with the right version.

Last time i played Black magic (several months, maybe a year ago) i remember having huge problems with the G string powerchords.  Those seems to be gone now.  Did not miss a single one of them. :)

@@Rodman When I was going to sleep at 5 a.m. I was not that tired as I am right now :P Some good music would make me feel better for sure, after many hours of total crap (only one f*ckin' Bee Gees song!).

@@Aludog It looks like the way we rate songs differs quite a bit :) Those pull-off's on E was making me all sorts of trouble, so that could darken things to me. Still tougher then BTO.

score for mc lead. it looks easy, but for some reason i make a lot of mistakes in it. although it could be because i lose focus and start singin along (takin care of business...) :P

 

i'm gonna post scores for the rest later on, loving the tenacious d track btw (always been a fan)

Beginner: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466110430I deliberately used to avoid this song when I first got rocksmith and only played it around Christmas for the first time just to see what it was like... it's not unpleasant, not my cup of tea though but very nice for beginners :).

 

Intermediate: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466079258fun fun fun fun fuuuuuuunnnn :)

 

Advance: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466112556100% totally doable. A score 4.5. Yes my %age is shit but that's because the Baby came in and joined in for the last few bars with his sticky hands :)

 

MC: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466111988Frank Zappa... A haiku, based on a true story: Frank Zappa on my kitchen worktop. A photo of his visage was took. Jesus on toast got more likes. 

 

Happy Fathers day all you mother f**kers :)

Check these scores, they're fkin tasty:

I'm proud of you @@Rodman :) You did well!

 

@@Goneyay Welcome!

 

Never underestimate me :P While BTO lead is easier on newer version, I still felt that it's quite tricky. I had other song almost ready, but I did not wanted Advanced bassist to de-tune heavilly again ;)

 

@@Nacholede Halo would be this week if not for lack of bass...

I'll release a new version of Halo today, so we maybe can play it next week  B)

P.s. So as @ like low volume in his cdlc, i did for himself more volume for tones (mixer 100/100). And changed acoustic tone, bcs of source tone sounds with clipping, if leveled up volume. Tuned for bridge+neck pickups.

Link to adjusted cdlc

Takin Care of Business Lead

Small update, fighting with all those bends

great score @@Latsch

my first score for this

http://up.picr.de/22315458vk.jpg

@, I adjusted the tones a little, but after that all stats were gone, the cdlc was 0000 then, so I let the version like it is. I guess for you a little would not be enough anyway....

@ Reset stats? You something doing wrong, bcs of all stats saved in adjusted version. If you load my, and you will see same scores and counts.

 

Anyone have issue with detection in Camarillo Brillo lead? Intro with double stop 10-12 frets- half miss, especially at 12. And slides in middle the song. 56-9, always some invisible notes missed.

don't know what's wrong. I know if I don't change notes in eof all stats are safe. But this time I tried first to load the xml file from eof project in toolkit, adjust and push create. Later I tried it to load my psarc file in tookit, adjusted and created new. In both cases the stats were reset  :unsure: and your's work fine with all old scores. It's a mystery to me.

TD: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=466376716

 

Finding TD a tad harderer than BTO... fnar fnar. :P

BTO on bass 98.38%.  I agree that 100% should be doable this week

F'ken cool song! I have a couple of days off work, wife is at work, kids at school = crank it up!

 

Don't think i can catch the big guns, but will try for a podium finish:

BTO on bass 98.38%.  I agree that 100% should be doable this week

I notice your streak and multiplier are the same as mine and wonder if there might be a tiny sync issue at that point. I seems to miss the note after the slide from the 7th on A. It could be that we're both just losing pace a bit after that slide but I had been pretty thorough in rr with that phrase and 9 out of 10 times I get a miss... I'll give it a try on t'other bass with AP's in case it's a recognition issue due to lack of gain on the jazz bass, but it doesn't sound nearly as nice :(

Slightly better....

Recognition in the intro part is a bit spotty and maybe it's better to remove the open string. I don't think it's absolutely necessary anyway. I did manage to get it recognized though if I strum on lightly. I don't have any recognition errors on the other parts though (as far as I know) but I'll check it out if others have issues with it as well.

Mild BTO improvement, changed the bass tone to Dire Straits sultans of Swing bass tone to make sound a bit meatier (skinny strings were too annoyingly twangy) I think the misses after the slide are just a "me" issue, I've played it a few more times since this score and nailed them, just f'd up elsewhere. a bit more time in RR later and hoping to have it down with a recording too (bass tone does sound quite sweet using Dire Straits :) .)

 

Edit... I say "improvement", score is slightly better but I'm a few .0%ile down ;)
