Rock On!

For the solo I need one more fret. Not saying that it would sound good played by me anyway, but it's impossible, literally.

 

 

 My focus will be on rhythm this week.

 

Lead Path:

 

Beginner:        N/A

?  :( 

First attempts

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love. I wouldn't say this is 3. On par with the next song and it's (4).

 

 

 

Rocky Dawuni - Download the Revolution (4)

Never heard the song before but yeah, good for intermediate

 

Blind Guardian - This Will Never End (5) 

Definitely more difficult than 5. Rocksmith thinks I got 500+ streak but I was mostly playing 8ths instead of 16ths. I hate fast metal songs with pick :)  speed for the sake of speed...

 

 

Metallica - The Call of Ktulu  (8)

Pleasantly surprised! Not sure if (7) is more reasonable but I'll focus on this song for the week!

I remember Download the Revolution from a couple of years ago.  This score was 99.83% after only a couple of passes.  I'll have to go back an compare to how I did the first time (hoping to see improvement)

Weird, sometimes those chords on the high strings don't register

 

 

 

 

Decided to put dynamic difficulty on and give Metallica a try.

 

 

Lead Path:

 

Beginner:        N/A

?  :( 

 

The requirement for a custom is to have one guitar path, either lead or rhythm. So it can happen that lead players won't have a song that week.

Got a whole lot of love.

 

Got quite a few notes marked as missed that I am sure I hit on this one.

 

Increased the display lag correction setting and this run maybe only 2 or 3 notes I think marked as wrong that I am sure I hit.  

Always fun to see your improvement by playing old songs.  I don't remember any of them for some reason. (or I'm old and senile).

And for Blind guardian i changed my normal behavior and used a pick.  I feel it was a smart move. There was lots of notes.
