Week begins now! Let's all do our best!!

@@MaZtoR no it's really making me feel better, although i am improving a little bit,

 

even tried the SA and got to the last note, then the last fucking RED XXX came down  :angry:

 

 

so i went back to LAS,

 

 

getting there and a 106 note streak.

 

As for the Bass @@chickentacos i don't think i'll be winning this week, i have just noticed that @@covinhas87 is back to kick some Intermediate Bass arse (welcome back mate)

 

no improvements tomorrow as i'll be at Wembley watching Adele, should be a good night,

 

night night all

oh i forgot, with regards to the Bass arse kicking........ i won't be going down without a fight  :P

 

 

:D

I have returned from my long hiatus from the Rocksmith championships, this is the score that I present, inform me through steam if anyone beats it as I will have to beat their score as soon as possible afterwards.

Edited, every time I play this I get a little better.

I wouldn't bet against you.   :)

I see that some are posting the screenshots for cdlc on steam - always keep in mind that they add bans (only for the community area iirc) and it's (probably) against the EULA to post the screenshots of a modded game there.

I've not heard that they've closed steam accounts, but I'd recommend to use another free image hoster ... you never know if a lawyer of a label is bored :D

Nice to see you back Steven, err... @@The Sewer Rat :)

This song's got a lot of haters, but I really dig it.

 

Only four riffs to learn, but rather draining. I think with some time in RR I can optimise my Energy Efficiency and get to high 90s, if I find some time.

I was sure this was 100%, but I guess it wasn't. :sob: Enjoying this song even more after having understood the lyrics.

Meh, not too keen on the song this week:

Rock on!

Finally detuned again. Round 2.

In learn mode it showed mastery 86% don't know why so i had to play score attack.

And this speed ... :)

because of the difficulty of this track and the great parts to work on I chose to focus solely on it (also the others seemed extremely hard) saw a lot of improvement through the week

also got blocked from photobucket for 3rd party posting, think it was because of these lol

At least it's not funk/reagge/ska :lol: I had to focus to distinguish those "mrblmbrlm" from guitars :P

 

This came to my mind:

Here is my final scores for the week, probably.

 

Grandad duties this weekend  :unsure:

 

After getting 88% 6 or 7 times on LAS I had to get past the SA and managed to break the 90%, so i am happy(er)

 

i still can't get the end bit right, but one day.......

 

to celebrate this monumental score i decided to give the Thunderbird a little play,

 

 

this one I could play in master mode with a few more plays but I'm outa time 

I've had a few "WTF" moments during the Championship, and this is one of them:

I'm back off to play some James Jamerson licks ;).

 

 

 

 

this one I could play in master mode with a few more plays but I'm outa time 

 

Hmmm, this sounds like a challenge? :)

@@missis sumner go for it, I can't until next week unfortunately but could be fun :-)

 

Like the song though so will be playing it anyway

Did this a few nights ago, but didn't post it immediately and then was unexpectedly out of town for the last couple of days, and didn't get a chance to post it.

 

 

When I was playing that night, it kept saying I missed a note or two on the second chorus, and it was starting to get a bit frustrating. I was just about to give up for the night when I finally managed to pull it off.

Yay i took the le...WTF Shocked Mind! Nice score... forcing me to go back again....

Add me to the list of haters. But if you drop the song volume in the mixer and switch to an Arctic Monkeys guitar tone, it's a pretty interesting song!

Thanks. I made a few more attempts after that, and got 100% once more, and though I felt like I did better, (especially late in the song when you're only playing the A string really fast, as the first time it felt really shaky like I was going to blow it at any second), I barely cracked a million. Sometimes you just can't tell.

Please don't get me wrong. I was just messing with you and enjoy the challenge as it pushes me to go further. A little improvement for me, but saw no reason to keep pushing for that perfect run. You bested me and I am ok with that:) Honestly the best thing about the week was no blisters!! Give us a 3 difficulty song so we can see if its time to move up.

So I decided to go for MM. I believe it is worth an extra point. I sure hope it doesn't have to be done at 100% for an extra point:)
