hey, was just thinking, i dont use learn a song much, go straight to score attack, as long as its got dynamic difficulty ,

i just got highway star from official site. and made it to the end on easy.with the headphones on it was epic.

sadly a lot of cdlc dosn't have DD, i always send a thank you, to the people who take the time to add DD .

keep rockin.

ps i learnt a bit . by watching uploads of rocksmith videos , on YT, really helped.

I found a few times where DD actually made playing a song more problematic than it needed to be e.g. providing odd fingering, which when DD is increased to 100% turns out to a barred chord or similar, I find often the best route is crank DD to 100% and drop the song to 50% speed, then increase 10% each time you've nailed it completely, up until 80% then increase  in increments of 5% speed.

Yes I have tried DD and found that it changes the some too much. have 100% of the song chopped into sections with RR and know the speed down. This seems the best way to take it in.

I found the same things of feeling like a beginner. I overcame them essentially through the idea of "trial by fire" - by forcing yourself to play songs above your current playing level, you're forcing yourself to adapt to the song in a way in which you don't with DD. Something I strongly recommend for someone that learns best when challenging themselves is to go into the game settings and set the setting "Override To Max" on. This won't work for everyone, as not everyone learns the same, however, it can't hurt to try. I went from 82 something on The Trooper to 90 something on lead (I'll get an imgur link when I'm out of school). The most challenging part of this method is motivation, and this is not how I would tell someone who just picked up a guitar for the first time in their life to learn. I switched to sightreading after about a year.

I feel so far away, minutes turn to hours and the hours into days - "I Don't Belong Here" - I Prevail

They're so ignorant, they don't understand, you were always longing for a chance - "Wasteland" - EarlyRise

I watched but never really listened as the whole world passed me by - "I Apologize" - Five Finger Death Punch

Happy new year Forgers!! another January is apone me and musical ambitions are still here. I have had a change of circumstances later part of last year so I plan on using the extra time I have constructively. I picked up the guitar for the first time in a few months and felt a bit lost straight off. Had a shocker on a few new songs that came up easy difficulty on the filter list. Cochise....I guess but working out how to place your fingers in the best way to hit the riff felt hard.

 

Thought I could not finish on a low so the all time favorite "Do you wanna know" Arctic monkeys  played a solid 85% felt better so finished with "fluorescent adolescence"

 

will keep plugging getting the songs i like playing good sounding.

 

I also bought a keyboard so I got hopes that progress on one will feed the other.

Cheers Rodders!! I did get the piano and I am on day 8 of a minimum of 15 mins a day.

 

Simply piano it a great app and I feel I am making good progress.

 

A strange thing has happened though I have actually picked up the guitar more!! I find that I am learning a riff slowly on the piano then picking up the guitar and doing the same. An the interest in music is strong right now.

Discovered John Mayer - Neon last night OMG why did I not know this existed!!

 

I'm doing some finger picking practice I really need to get that skill.

 

In other news I found a interesting post on Reddit about using Rocksmith effectively, it's a lot of what people have already told be with a few tweeks.
