As i am starting next week it´s gonna be Tribute - Da Capo: Hotel C. (which is #4 most downloaded cdlc in our DB) unless one of you has a special wish regarding the tribute.

Very hard song for beginner + fight with recognitions.

Adv Lead

I feel that my hands are stiff recently and i don't know why :(

A big(ish) improvement tonight:

I don't know where that came from…

I'm actually having more success with the MC this week but still can't get past the last few phrases of the song after the slide on the 21st fret G string without being triple X'd :( .. have no time to play the others and I love The Breeders but busy week with #2 son starting playschool tomorrow, training for big run and work, if I manage a score for MC bass in SA I'll be over the moon. Even if it's shit :)

 

/applause to all getting their scores on, the songs this week are pretty knackering!

one last try  http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=605047386  That red bit's a flippin' arse ache! :)

catching up diddie!

and of course, Mr. Big rhythm:

I have resigned myself to the fact the MC song is just that tad too twiddly, much to my chagrin, the speed I'm fine with, I just can't get that last phrase of the run up the G string (fnar) solo ... next year.  :angry:

My submission goes... Were training this all this week, now can play it with a small amount of mistakes only at 80 percent of speed. At 100 I simply get lost in speed and miss everything possible in this two shred parts...

Crazy busy all week, only getting time to play this weeks songs tonight.

Played this a bunch of times before. Difficult but fun beginners song.

 

http://s16.postimg.org/5q05tx5ed/the_fratellis_henrietta_lead.png

Used to be able to play this in the pre-rocksmith days, still remember most of it. Sync is out a bit.

 

http://s22.postimg.org/8sy9njhxt/free_mr_big_lead.png

Suprisingly difficult to keep the appargios accurate.

Easy but cool

 

http://s27.postimg.org/saiwkkbwj/the_fratellis_henrietta_bass.png

Some charting issues to go along with the sync problem here, cool bassline though

 

http://s24.postimg.org/dd6c6hg9x/free_mr_big_bass.png

Failed out the first time, scraped through on the second attempt.

 

May or may not get more time tomorrow and I'm off hiking Saturday so this could be my only update for the week.

Thanks @@franfit but I don't think I will have time now, I got an unlocked trophy for failing to get through score attack ten times in a row... I win at sucking :D

@@TrbInTrbIn I kept reading that as 98% for some reason...I was about to say g frickin g.

 

Still though, that song is hard, 90% is still really good

I'm back in the game!

Just had a pretty killer runthrough of MC lead. First, my phrase status:

And the score:

http://i.imgur.com/Dwldmds.jpg

 

Yeah, I totally blew it on the last hard phrase. Also that miss before the octave chords preceding it was pretty boneheaded.

 

So, @@then3verend, did I scare you at least a little bit with this, even if I fell well short in the end?

Nah, as you can see, my best run has a score nowhere near my best score.

So either im hiding something or my highest score has nothing to do with my best run because I can't hit full step bends.

a good run with actually 95.9 (early screenie)

 

http://i67.tinypic.com/2hrolko.jpg

 

and after that not so good but thats a valid + for the CS
