Psymanski should have had 10 points last week, Rodders - he won, I came second. :)

The lb says same acc, and your streak being better.

Is there an error?

 

Yes, I'm sure we had the same % but my streak was worse.

I gave up a bit on the Clutch song - the full bends was not working for me. I do liked the crazy Japanese  song - crazy fast and a lot of fun.

 

Lead INT - 91.88%

 

 

Bass MC - 99.5%

 

 

 

Too hungover to play today, but i forgot to post last nights score.

Fun song this week :)http://n54.imgup.net/2016-02-1125bc.jpg

Lead INT - 91.88%

I guess you've played the old version... try the new one, all bends in verses on A string are half step, much easier and sounds better.

there is no reason for full step bends since one octave higher there are also halfsteps.

I just can't do any better with Just Allow.  I have tried, honestly I have.  I even equalled my % once, which I always like doing…  :angry:

@@albatross213 I didn't get your highscore, but better accuracy

so a few minutes left... trying to 100%ing now

Oh... then it is wrong in the lb.

 

I am gonna check your last scoreposts and correct it.

@@missis sumner - Right, your streaks were mixed up... now all is ok

 

FAIR PLAY AWARD of the WEEK!!!

trying further

No attempts worth posting this week.  I believe my rocksmith cable is bad.  It has developed a very audible buzz.  I can easily hear the buzz in cleaner tone settings in both rocksmith and a vst program.  Bass is no better than guitar. 

 

I did try the J Giles band song, but RS was completely incapable of correctly interpreting any chords which meant it was impossible to get any reasonable score so I did not capture any screens.  Maybe this explains why I could not get RS to track chords from the start.

Yes I did - I read earlier in the week that there might be a new version coming... No time to play today, so I took the best I had on the old version.

 

Doing a full bend didn't really make sense - it didn't sound right.

 

Looking forward to a new week!!!

Last one eheh :

_{ADV Lead update. Am not sure if its on time :)}

@@diddie17 that is awesome! We are fighting and winning! 

But. I want to speak clear. Even with 100% my play is very dirty. 

I think I don't deserve this 100% and this 2kk points. 

I played dirty, didn't comply some pauses and didn't use the palm mutes.

So I think you should be higher on the leader board.

 

Yes, been there - that is the nature of RS and this competition.

In contrast to learning a song on guitar where you practice piece by piece until it sounds right (what never worked out for me in pt1 of my guitar career 15 years ago) you here just play a tab all over as good as you can and sometimes in favour of a questionable rhythm pattern or even chord fingering that RS is willing to accept as "not missed". 10 - 30 plays dont make you master a song on beg/ low int level at least 4 sure not when it comes to make it sound right outside of RS.

The good thing: you can ignore that and just go on. Every hour of practice will add to your techinique. The fingers get to know their chord-positions, the notes will begin coming "slower" with enough time for palm-muting and technotes, and the rhythm will fall in naturally.

Just go back to a CS song you liked after another 100 playhours and feel the difference.

 

A good tip if you wanna betray yourself a bit less in terms of making it sound right is to use a Y-Splitter box to go

1) to your PC with your RS cable and

2) to your amp,

turn the guitar volume in RS to zero and play exclusively over the amp.

At least that works out great for me and @@MonstaS4, too i think...

As long as new week does not start you'll free to post. But remember - it's a gamble ;)

I also use a Y-Splitter, but I'm enjoying the ampsound from my back and RS guitar sound from front, kinda surround guitar :)

And me, but I'm just using a Y-spiltter cable.

 

I'm looking for a better solution though, as I have quite a bit of noise with the Y-cable.  What bass box can I buy that would do the same thing, but allow me to control the volume of the bass, better?  My amp is pretty much turned down to minimum volume, with the lead, and it's difficult to adjust...

this sounds fun. Im kinda new when does the next song get annouced?
