Rock on!

Trying a new way to post images

 

well i have fitted my Roto Sound 66 Bass Strings, set up the string height, set up the intonation oh and gave it a little clean up, and wow what a difference.

 

after settling for a few songs a few re-tuning due to string stretch i got some scores......

 

 

i struggled with the first bit but was fine after a few RR's

 

 

yes i used a pick

 

 

going for the Hondo on this one.

 

nighty night all

There're some fun song from AM - enjoyed to play this

 

I'll try to post a Tom Petty score this week :)

G'n'R

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1164074565 Scored better a while back but not completely unimpressed with my effort since I only tried it once last night :)

 

R.I.P Tom lad.

Enjoying the Blink-182 song more than Arctic Monkeys.

 

 

Needed to get over 99%

And try rhythm.   This would have made be cry as a beginner.  All those bar chords hurts my hands even now.

And I thought this deserved an improvement:

So I made a very small one:

Tom Petty - swimming on some sections, but ok for a post :D

Rush

 

Do you have to win the Intermediate division 3 weeks in a row to advance up with scores over 97%? Anyway, I played both Intermediate and Advanced this week. I've been playing all my Tom Petty songs ever since I heard the news. RIP

 

It Says on the scoreboard that I got 100% on the Arctic Monkeys Rhythm but I only got 99.31 (although I will be trying)

 

I did however get 100% on the Blink Rhythm ........ many thanks

 

I'm on a roll this week so why not try a bit of G&R's

 

 

not going to worry the leaders but hey i got through with only one Red X

 

 

 

most of these misses were open Ab strings which is caused by the new strings I think but hey ho I got a good score (for me) anyway.

Urrgh!  Random misses for no reason at the start of the song, but I made up for it by totally ballsing up one section, only to randomly hit a few notes that I shouldn't have, because Rocksmith thought I was close enough.  :lol:

How many songs are we allowed in the SSL now?

 

I notice my Abba song has been included, even though it's bass only (charted).

 

I have a good suggestion for MC bass, that also has rhythm, if that'd be better?
