I couldn't even try this song, last time around.

93% on the first go ?? ok john paul jones you're out, it's not fair 

I'll need at last 3 weeks to learn half the song...

Bass day.

The last one felt more like a 60ish% than 92%.   Rocksmith is very forgiving on songs like that, but my ears are not.

First scores of the week, id like to say 'first tries of the week' but they are not..... struggled a bit to get these scores.

 

However they should worry a couple of ya  <_<

 

 

more than 5 goes........a lot more than 5 goes

 

 

Recognition issues with the big fat open E string

 

 

issues with... too bloody fast, too many notes, fingers ache too much and making my ears bleed.

 

 

 

night night all

Slow and hard progress there:

Fun Song, Had Fun, Fun never Stops, Fun Fun Fun...

Played it with headphones this time.  It sounded a lot better without the sound of my strings.

Quick break from the lead part...

 

The solo is just to hard

Firsts

 

 

Playing the last one in drop D without headphones hurts my ears, the sounds from the strings is really off.  Tried it once in drop C to and i was a lot better, but i got a worse score.

It is the same for my drop pedal. I have to put volume loud or play with headphones because as soon as I hear the strings I get confused. 

 

I've fretted wrong because of that too. Especially when you use the pedal one or 2 semitones down.

At least some bass this week.

 

First try (or second (or fifth))).

 

Boring.

 

Funny.

 

My stuff.

Sadly the bass MC download link seems to be dead :( if someone has the file, I might be able to play that tomorrow :P

this is all I have for this week, got pretty decent at the main children of bodom pop song cover solo, but the second part I dont have enough frets for

 

All I got is a .1% improvement...I'll take it.

 

 

Oh and Rhythm

Rhythm

Good song, crazy week.

 

This song made me practice better. Spent a lot of time in RR trying to not completely mangle the solo. Definitely need the headphones to play this one, for the tuning difference. This cover might be a little over the top, but I did enjoy playing it.

 

@@MellonFarmer - did you really have to beat me ? ;)
