Update on advanced rhythm. Could probably take it further, but I don't need to and this was a nice enough improvement from yesterday for half an hour's work before playing.

Hopefully will also get to updates to advanced lead (if things go well, could I even take the lead?) and the intermediate classes tonight. I'm coming for you @@Rodman!

 

But not you, @@MonstaS4. You're probably too far ahead of me.

Well, i went to the System Of A Down show yesterday, here in Buenos Aires, KILLER SHOW! Amazing, the sound was very good, the crowd was crazy and they did a long concert, and i'm completely destroyed hahaha.

I hope they come back soon!

Fell just short of @@Gamut.

 

Int rhythm: Note recognition hates me.

Seriously:

http://i.imgur.com/nkrFpEH.jpgI strike out twice in the second chorus, whereas the other times I play the chorus I get 2 "goods" and the rest perfects.

 

Note recognition problems only worsened when I tried playing lead, so no update there. Probably should have at least checked my tuning, but my problems seemed relatively localized, so I'm not sure what the deal was.

@@Anderi Sadly (or not, depends whether you like the song) you need to make another run. You've got downleveled.

 

No worries, I like the song, and will try it again.

No improvement last night, but I did get the same percentage again:

A belated happy birthday to @@NoonyDeloony :)

 

MC lead still kicking my ass all over the place, hopefully I'll get a semi-decent run in before tomorrow.

School ramped up this week, so uh, see ya guys week 102 :P

happy birthday @@NoonyDeloony !

Although it might have helped if I hadn't gone to the pub at lunch time, and then carried on on the Guinness when I got home...

@@jpsy Welcome! but well, sorry, I'm clicking your link and I don't see an image. Find other host, cause we ain't gonna click anything more then a link in your post. We don't have that much spare time.

Probably my last update this week. Caught the ghost of @@Rodman past, but not the ghost of Rodman present.

A few comments on this track for @:

 

1) The thing that I noticed previously with the D/A chords (which Rocksmith annoyingly doesn't change the chord name for, though that's obviously on them and not you) is a little inconsistent on the lead path. The first pre-verse has them, while the second doesn't. I think on the rhythm track both have the D/A chords (and maybe also at the end of the second chorus/transition into the "Yeah I'm Waiting!" bit).

 

2) The chords with the explicit mutes... I think they get recognized somewhat poorly by Rocksmith. Particularly the ones that lead back in the the last chorus with the G and muted C. I noticed that what I was playing was getting detected only a small portion of the time with the "G chord mute" on the A string I'd been using throughout the rest of the song. I then tried playing just the G, which also didn't work, so I tried a "heavier" mute on the A, and that had a higher (but still far from 100%) success rate. I'm not sure if you need to strike a muted A to get it to sound right, but it's detecting strangely and I haven't seen many explicit mutes in chords in many other customs or official songs.

 

I hope this is somewhat useful!

 

 

Edit: @@jpsy - I have the same problem as @@Mortalo - when I click the link the website says it is unavailable in my country. Imgur is a pretty reliable and easy to use image host that's available worldwide.

Bass - Beginner

 

Cold Hard Bitch - 96.7% - http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/574564421356209267/7D063E51B66A349ADF6141D0B2790AB25A3BBB06/

One more score nudge before the deadline.

Hi,

I wish I could do better on this great song...

http://i60.tinypic.com/25q7r79.png

But i've no more time. :( 

 

Anyway it was fun :D .

Both interesting and frustrating week. This competition gives amazing insights to new music - never thought that I would play such a challenging bass made by a Japanese girl-band!

 

The frustrating part is the recognition on "Cool Hard Bitch" - I don't think that I deserve that many"Miss" (or maybe I do).

 

BASS (99,05%)

 

 

LEAD (90,49%)

 

 

RYTHM (92,27%)

 

Should be closer to 98% if not for the note recognition issues. That muted G near the end gives me the most grief.

Final scores for the week! Challenging lead arrangement indeed, been tabbing out some songs is why im uploading this late ahaha :P ready for next weeks championship!

Can a mod take a look at my place in the Championship please ?

 

I was going Freebird for a few weeks, but now that I have more time to play I'll rejoin my class - I know I'm already listed in MC Rhythm, but can't find my name anywhere in the lead section.

 

Not sure if I'm still eligible for MC lead or if I've been downgraded to Advanced ?
