100% was so close, only one stupid miss

 

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 :(

 

I have had problems on the slides, but like you mention in post 76, "it's a me issue".  If I concentrate on the slide, I get it right.  If I get lazy, less so. I tend to mess up one or two bars before the slide.

@@Angelina27 Welcome at board! And have fun with us.

 

P.s. Enough one screen with score. We see it :)

 

@@Aludog Can you post there tabs or eof file? I want look, what exactly i should do at this slides, may be i doing something wrong.

I simplified this part and made it double stops, so it would be easier to slide into the new position. And of course I used tech notes to connect the double stops via slides. The first slide is a regular slide, the second one is unpitched and then the same is repeated for the second part of the phrase.

@@Mortalo Not seen :) Cool.

 

@ 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.

 

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.

 

 

A while ago, there has been an update to the Toolkit that creates a new Arrangement ID (at least) ever time you change the version number. So if you use the Toolkit the way it is meant to be used, the stats will always reset when you create a new version. This was chosen to avoid conflicts (and thus possible savegame corruptions) between the song data in your Rocksmith profile and updated things in the song. E.g. if you changed the sections, there might be a conflict between the stored DD progress and the new DD information in the song.

At first I didn't agree with this, but in the end I saw that "savety" must always come first :-)

@. Anyway you can to save ID (2 big numbers) arrangement (each split - lead, rhythm, bass) what you want, and if sure that will not conflict (same xml), you simple do change new ID (which setted toolkit after load xml) to old, what you saved before.

Achivment unlocked.   100% in MM.  :)

 

This song is ridiculously easy.

@@MaZtoR Congrat! but You have very bad score for MM, try yet to ge more good score :) The song good for practice - like practice with metronome, sure it will helpful for all. I tried yet improve my score, but only 1560... today, `don`t know how topman got 1594... there, with my 1570... i have about 12 "good", other was "perfect".

  I have an old slow computer that sometimes stutters the video. I'm afraid it might be all out of sync and i don't want to adapt my playing to that. I'm happy with just listening to what i play and not worry about the score.

@. Anyway you can to save ID (2 big numbers) arrangement (each split - lead, rhythm, bass) what you want, and if sure that will not conflict (same xml), you simple do change new ID (which setted toolkit after load xml) to old, what you saved before.

Don't know which ID and where to find it, but I found out that I just don't have to change the versions number.

Small improvement and gave the Rhythm path a try

Finally passed without missed notes. Tenacious D - Beelzeboss, Bass, 100% 930n, 1951835 sc.  :)  Cool the song.
And got video:

 

P.s. @ , If you load chart, he get new ID by RS tool, and no matter old this one xml or new. So look there show ID, for every arrangement both numbers is individual (need save both and restore too):

Made a mess of the little solo in the middle :(

 

Was rockin' so hard I caught my strumming hand index finger nail on the high e and almost ripped it off ! Quite painful and I'm scared to play anymore until I can get a bandage on it, so that's me done for the night.

finally, a return.

Taking Care of Business on bass = 99.05%... getting close

my next lead update

http://up.picr.de/22327683zj.jpg

but the tab isn't very decent. I mean it's ok notewise almost and the handpositions are fine, but the technics which are used are sometimes real crap. No HOPO are used although in the song lots of, instead many slides, often defined what makes it nerving cause almost getting misses there. Many licks sounds not natural this way and giving lots of misses. So it's not much fun to play  :(

no more strikes.
