Rock on!

I'm not flooding, the damn place is empty since last nite...

 

Much better, bass time now

Alright first the bass parts.

Dear Hunter

Probably going to have to hunt down more of this music to tinker at.

 

Ambrose

This song makes my pinky scream in pain. Fun song though.

 

Flock of Seagulls not bad, kinda fun, much easier than the intermediate one for me.

 

Lead

Don't know how much more I can listen to this song.

 

Rhythm

Yup, it's rhythm alright.

 

--Thanks All!

Wren

So finally I am able to participate at rocksmith championship aswell.

Well, returning just for some Intervals (Note this is Bonus Rhythm, so 5 string bass, thank) Defo one of my favourite Intervals songs

It's only Wednesday...but I think that I am done with this week's songs.

 

 

Holy crap, you weren't kidding about this song being hard... @

 

Of course I'd play my own CDLC, why wouldn't I ? :ph34r:

 

 

 

And this screenshot of an amazing Dear Hunter song... ( Score is a bit low, I REALLY need to practice this one lol )

 

 

 

(These screenshots don't count, they're just for fun)

Very nice, very fast, 2 or 3 parts are way out of my poor skills...

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/923666962137973505/EFE6FD1182DEDB9E522EC2D4DD2ED2BBD6875C74/

 

Will (probably) be off the CS the 2 incoming weeks, I join M. Hankey the Xmas Poo   to wish you nice holidays & happy new year  

 

Keep rocking

Alright I might have this song figured out now. I even practiced the rhythm part some more.

 

And the lead of course.

--Wren

Just picked up bass last week and Rocksmith this week...

72% on the "easy" song... yeah, nah.

@@ZeroPingNZ     We are in the championship to improve, We don't expect people to be masters their first week.

Feel free to post your results.

Getting better.  But cant figure out how to get the back and forth slides to register.  I have tried sliding, trilling and just playing all the notes but i still get a lot of misses.

So i went to the bass side of things.

This week's beginner song is very difficult - that class has songs from 1-3 difficulty out of 10, and Waves is a fast 3. Wouldn't feel bad about a 72 on it after just a week of play. Keep at it! :godmode:

rhy dhm try

dammit, sloppy

Guitar was out of commission for a few days. Tried the Intervals bass... ow. :lol:

 

 

Guitar's fixed now though, back to my calling!

This was awful in the 80's, but still fun to play

Some tiny improvements:

 

For the slide trills, I just strum the note changes throughout, if that makes sense. Seems to register most of the time for me.

 

This one percent took a lot of RR.  :huh:

 

First couple of scores on a late starting week,

 

 

 

 

i should get a few hours before Saturday to improve, hopefully

72% on the "easy" song... yeah, nah.

Yeah @@ZeroPingNZ, I started at the beginning of September in the Championship and I've slowly improved over the last 3 almost 4 months now.  Hopefully I can keep moving along and by June I'm hoping to feel decent with some of the intermediate songs.  It takes time and gives you an extra song to practice each week. Which means for me that it will make me focus on a technique or skill that I didn't have before or that I wouldn't hit by choosing music on my own.

 

Also this is a pretty good community, if you run into problems or have questions just shoot em out and somebody has probably dealt with it at some point.

 

Good Luck and Keep it up!

--Wren

BARELY got through 96%. I dont think I can reach 97% at all :lol:

 

This Friday i will be mostly playing a Flock of Seagulls.......

 

 

never thought i would get that,

 

 

 

or that.....

 

 

I kinda knew i was going to get that, and kinda knew i wouldn't beat Noonie's score,

 

so that concludes what i think is my first Triple 100% in the Championship  :lol:

It's just a weird tempo that doesn't make sense... not your usual 4/4 :) I used to play Enter Sandman on electric and when I played it in Rocksmith, I got 95%. Easy and makes sense :)
