this week we have an easy Beginner song in all paths with Pink

The PJ Harvey track is intermediate for guitars, the rhythm is the same than the lead track, but easier and with capo like originally played with more open chords, the bass there is not very hard but with slap technic, so I rated it with 7 as advanced.

The Rush guitar (lead) I decided for advanced, since it's a bit harder than PJ Harvey, many barre chords and solo.

Now the MC lead song is Clutch, not very very hard but a custom tuning with finger picking, if you wanna play this with plec it'll be much harder. But since it's not that easy I gave it a 9. The Clutch rhythm path is much easier, but a bit harder than PJ Harvey, so it's advanced.

The Clutch bass is much too short, we'd have to wait the most time to play abou a minute or so, then I had to pick another bass, and I chose a real hard one from the bass only list we played already at week 77, long enough ago I think

let's go

Always "early" captions from speakers. But here're my first Pink results.

Ah man, Drop D for the MC lead song.

 

Oh well. By the looks of things if I win this week it'll mean I'll be in first place on the leaderboard :)

Lead is Open D :P :lol:

@@Mortalo I was going by what it said on the record page. Never tried any open tunings before.

Not such an easy song

Well I suck at fingerpicking so for once my MC lead submission is worse than my GoG submission:

Well, im not going to Open D :D But i have a whole week to practice the GoG song!!!

 

First attempts:

Havent tried in SA yet cause my hand hurts after 6 tries just under my elbow :0

@ Damn, I better start practicing Highly Strung if I wanna keep that award. Good job dude.

@@AlpaQ Thanks! Im waiting for the inevitable now :)

@ You have quite a good chance of winning this week. Unless I get new strings for my Strat then you've probably won the GoG challenge.

 

The current strings have made the intonation go off, add that with the fact a Strat is probably the worst guitar for this game (floating bridge and single coil pickups) basically means that it'll be nearly impossible to get a score near yours. 

@@AlpaQ HA! Thats my only goal in life right now. Just win SOMETHING against you :p This may be the only time that it happens but now that you mentioned strings i should change mine too... Also one last thing. My knockoff strat that i had for my first year worked perfectly with rocksmith and if you calibrate with the selector on the bridge pickups you may get the same experience as me

An updated score on GoG Lead:

well, I've been practicing Anesthesia for a few... hours.... and I have LOTS. of PROBLEMS. with note recognition system. misses everywhere, for no reason. And the second part of the song is tough, because of lots of bendings (how is it even possible ? He does a 1 step bend on the 5th fret of the D string, releases, bends again, releases, bends again, releases ? can you guys do such a thing ?), free time shredding (I hate learning free time shredding sections, can't work it with a metronome, no precision). and I feel like the cdlc is not well timed during some sections of the 2nd part... and I just don't get why I see tapping, I don't hear tapping, why tapping, f*** tapping. free time tapping in addition. s**t. :mellow:

 

ok I stop hating and I get back to work :mellow:

 

at least we won't have to fight for best streak at like 99,92% accuracy

 

but hey cool there's a Rush song ! And it's lifeson's birthday today

that needs some picking shape practise

http://up.picr.de/26637162rm.jpg

hard to survive in SA, maybe more a 10 in dif

Both guitar paths are harder than expected, so dif +1

http://up.picr.de/26637275ya.jpg

Lead is harder to play but the note recognition seems better

http://up.picr.de/26637276ug.jpg

I'll also try Rush lead and Clutch rhythm, maybe we should swap Int and Adv these paths...

yap, this one is easier than PJ Harvey

Clutch 4, PJ 5 in rhythm, I'll swap them

http://up.picr.de/26637385tw.jpg

First tries.

I'm not a fan of any of those songs.  So i might put some time in trying to get my first 100% in MM.

 

Second try in master.

Lead adv & int are also swapped. I'll edit the op when I'm back at home

Anesthesia cdlc is definitely not on time (the song is more than 1 beat late during the 2nd and 3rd sections of the bass - drums part of the solo)

who can fix that ?

Tried Highly Strung abit more today and heres the result for now :) http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2cxwbhd&s=9#.V8Lav6Ino9k

Gonna be trying the rhythm part too. This style of song is my jam and its really fun playing it

@, I often can't see any pics from your links, maybe the first time it works, but if I have to open it again no pic appears anymore. This time I can't see your score again, but I know it was something about 98% (I had it open one time)

If they provide direct links I would prefer them, or maybe just another hoster?

 

edit - now it worked again, but only for one time
