There are increasing rumors that...

stay tuned ;)

 

thx for staying tuned ;)

Looks like it took me some time, but patience is the key to happiness.

 

Nevermind.... beside stupid wonderful metal covers you really should especially check out the Q5 tune - great 80ies stuff, charted by @fripples and a blast to play.

 

Children is awesome too, and we must not discuss Pink Floyd, nor MDeth ;)

First try since half a year ago when I played that song again

 

trying something a little different. recording every single time I participate in the rocksmith championship.
first 40 seconds i am completely out of time because i'm nervous about recording my playing (promise it gets a lot better throughout!)
i encourage everyone else to do the same :D
also anyone else interested in a friendly competition of cannibal corpse accuracy?

 

I can get 100% its just a tricky rhythm, and I'm not particularly fond of megadeth.

here it is in two different playing techniques (i play better on the fingered one).

Well Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here. Tab's is off no mater how I look at it. Rhythm part supposed to be official and it still won't match at times with what been played. I'm just looking at very first riff and some clear mismatches:

1. Lead - after very first chord (Em7) pause should be longer with that E been closer to G.

2. Rhythm - after first four notes, no matter how hard I try to listen there is no G in place there it's shown.

 

SAD!

One thing I've realized is that for a while I wanted my suggestions to be picked when I won. But I've realized that if my suggestions kept getting picked I would have never found some of these songs which is a plus for me because I really dig the ending.

 

First tries of the week.

Nice discovery this week, never listened to Q5, love the solo

Hmmm, maybe I don't understand how to play this.

 

 

It's been a long time since my last post! I hope this time I came to stay, at least a bit longer ;) One ticket to Advanced Lead, please!

1.5 hours of riff repeater == 11%

 

update

 

Sorry, guys.  I failed to post a score last week.  Between trying to join a band, learning songs (yes, learning) and sorting out our drummer's issues, I just didn't get time.

 

I did have my first jam session with real people yesterday though.  It didn't go too badly...  :o but to say I'm a little tired is an understatement.

 

I really should have done it years ago though...

 

Maybe I'll have time after our next jam (Thursday) to give the CS a go again.  :)

 

Starting to get the hang of this one, very fun to play

 

Will try yo get 100%

Love the songs this week. Pink Floyd is always a favorite for me. I had never heard of either Q5 or Orphaned Land. Both songs are extremely fun to play.

 

 

 

Steel the light only have a really small part that is hard. But its a great song.

Children is really fun to play. But i need to spend some time in RR. 7min is to long to play through just for a few places.
