perhaps a little bit too competitive when the leaderboard is opened in the background   :huh:  :P  :D

Welcome @@RicYin!

 

Happy birthday @@Hughmonty and @@Viltaire!

Yo Happy BDs @Hughmonty and @Viltaire, and may the rock be with you!

I couldn't play much last night - I've got pain in my index finger again, but this time at the joint.  I know why it is, like @@RicYin, when I'm playing notes on the same fret on adjacent strings I tend to span the top of my finger across the frets, not moving my finger much, just rocking to suit the string I'm supposed to be fretting.  It's probably not the best of techniques, if it's giving me pain...

 

I did manage a slight improvement on Diamonds SA though - I'll post it up later if I can't improve tonight.

After some more time in RR it is starting to get better, the arpeggios still sound forced tho.   But the solo is really easy.

So would you like last night's 99.67%?

Or tonight's 99.67?

Or tonight's 2nd 99.67?

/sorry, was that a little passive aggressive? :D

 

Edit: I'm off to play some 2-4-6-8 Motorway...

That verse tone doesn't even come close to doing that riff justice, but I guess it's a pretty hard pedal to emulate.

Was wondering what the hell I was even going to be playing going into this one, it's not like this song is ripe with sick guitar riffs. I thought you'd follow the piano, but it turns out you follow the vocalist.

Wooo… power cut here tonight for well over an hour (at least I had finished playing).

 

It's like 1977 all over again, except I haven't got a cardboard box to play in...

This could have been a 100% if I restarted after my early mistake, but I didn't.

These two are getting easier, too.

Well, after playing some classic rock songs (and I mean classic as in "they fit in a Fallout soundtrack" way) finally my ring finger has more comfort in the covens of the witch ;)

Oh yeah, had to come back for one more.

I think I need to shelve this one for the time being!

It felt more like random misses then my lack of skill :P

Fairly simple. A 3, me think.

It's not convincing me to try harder.

Nice one @Rodman     No improvements on lead for me.  But some better score on rhythm.

Hi All, I'm Back  :P

 

due to horrendous problems with the new RS Patch I have struggled for hours trying to get Rocksmith to work, this is mostly to do with me being a bit of an idiot on Macs, however with the help of Misses S and most of all @@Wepeel all seems ok.

 

So here is my first score of the week.........

 

 

I haven't downloaded the other tunes yet, just happy to get back on the game after all this time.

Predictable:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKMFQxemZBTXN4WEU/view?usp=sharing

 

But then I ditched the pick, and at last!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKWThMd3NGeGFFMUU/view?usp=sharing

 

I don't care that my score is worse than one of my 99.67% scores - I don't think I'll be playing this song again for a little while! :D

 

Is ditching the pick cheating?

@@missis sumner I hope not, all my tries to this song have been without a pick :D

And gratz of the 100% btw, I already gave up on that

@@missis sumner is it cheating to use a pick on a song which does not require such a triangular aid ?

 

If so I am very very guilty
