Rock On!

Joins A.T.W.A in "so not a 3" category. Arguably can be hard to play it clean due to some heavy distortion, but not hard enough. Much easier then previous week: no really fast parts and techniques beside plain old single notes + as this is a cover no "model" sound to match against.

First time playing and hearing these songs except for Kashmir

 

I'd say this is probably (6)

 

Thought this one was easy... until the last part of the song!

 

Weird but fun to play

@@MaZtoR moves to MasterClass Bass from Advanced.

 

@@Gamut oh, Janis, it was rated as Beginner and I really didn't care about that song as I was not going to pick it that week as well :)

First tries of the week,

 

hmmmm

 

 

looks like i've played this before but can't remember my last score, not too hard but concentration wanders after a few minutes

 

 

 

all was going well until the end came up...... needs work

 

 

ah yes open chord and strumming practice,

Ah.. Shadow of Colossus ....

 

If you haven´t played or even better heard of that game instantly grab it and have a go, i swear you will ot regret it.

Best game i know. (And i´ve been Austrian Champion on PES back in the days, spent like a million coins on MK, have managed to keep playing NHL online versus for years once a week (still ongoing) 2on2 with a pal, and i´m sure i have played more than 5000 games in my life, but that one is the best).

 

First guitar, then shadow again from beginning (i still havent finished it) - thats a plan :)

well, there are those weeks when on sightread i get the impression - well maybe i can play guitar a little by now.....

and then there are others:

+14%

Easy one.  Would rate 1 or 2.

Third time for Kashmir.  Its so damn long and the tuning is weird.

This one was hard and unpredictable.

Almost as long as Kashmir.

Good week everyone!

@@Telboy Tel-me Tel-boy... HOW?! =)

@@Vodka I have no idea I only had one go

Good start for me.

 

This gave me a much needed boost in confidence :) Difficulty (2). So much easier than The Sleepwalk from last week

Good week everyone!

@@Telboy Tel-me Tel-boy... HOW?! =)

 

More notes played as "Perfect" rather than Good or Late/Early. I noticed it with bass, where I sometimes would get the best score even though several people finish at 100% :)

First plays...

Boring... no wonder so many people consider it overrated

 

(7)? Didn't seem to be too difficult. Way beyond my skill level but nonetheless

 

Can anybody explain how Rocksmith calculates the score? Says 100% and "subpar performance". It was, indeed

Pretty good song and a great chart, only complaint I have is that the tones are too quiet. Will probably go in sometime and boost them myself

 

Bass time.

Had to little time and the songs where so damn long.  I did not have time for them all.

HA!

Score update

 

Me & Bobby Mcgee on bass = 96.9%  not a bad start.

HA!

 

Just noticed that you are from Russia. So am I, but I chose New Zealand as our new home :)

Very fun to play but the acoustic part took me by surprise and kicked my ass :p

 

There will most probably no entries from me this week. I got a new processor and motherboard and windows won't start anymore.

I need to move my my dual boot system onto the (also new) SSD. Linux was easy, but Windows insists on reinstall. It is still unhappy with the partitioning of the HD, it says.
