Rock On!

Let's start with the song that I play a lot on rhytm

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv01.png

 

Oh and also, I noticed I had no score on bass "league".

The intermediate songs this week seem harder than a 4.

 

 

 

More salmon bass:

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv02_phases.png - Bat Country phase progress, and slightly better score.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_adv02.png

 

I think the song was too fast for the game to detect all the misses or wrong keys. -_-

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_mc01.png

 

Time to move on to the easier stuff:

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_int01.png - first try
Missed a note, but I'll take it for now:

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_int02.png

 

And of course I missed a note in here as well:

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_beg201.png

 

And missed the last slide twice in a row in this one:
http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253bass_beg101.png

After repeating the slide couple of times in the riff repeater, I nailed it \o/ (the first one had a better score than this though!)

Lead:

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_int01.png

I had scores the last few weeks and never got them posted. Get em in early!

 

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/950710827599437094/459533299D44C11F87156ADF01783BEABD11E17F/

Wasn't able to play the last couple weeks, but definitely want to get a score in this week. I'd like to go into the intermediate category from now please.

 

Tough songs this week!

1.From Our Hands - Sinners. Easy

 

2. Dio - Fever Dreams. A bit harder but still suitable for beginners

 

3. Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal. No way this is Int 4! It's probably a bit easier to play on two strings but as it is, I'd rate it Advanced 5 or 6.

 

 

4. Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country - this was my favorite song in high school :) 

 

5. I'm far from MC level but it's certainly easier than Vektor from last week, so probably 8.

Guitar time

1. From Our Hands - Sinners (3) (Eb drop Db) . Fun to play even though it's easy

 

Strange but I think it's easier to play this song on rhythm rather than bass :)

 

Dio - Fever Dreams. This one is much harder than the previous song. It's not Advanced but definitely not 4 either

First runs on Bass.  Since you asked I'm providing some feedback on difficulty.

I would agree this a 2

 

This one was a bit harder, 2-3

 

I've played the guitar part on smooth Criminal before.  It is half "I can't believe they want me to play that!" and half "Wow I can't believe I played that!"  I feel like it is a 5 difficulty at least.

Tried Advanced and MC songs... some parts are quite easy to play at 75-80% but faster than that and I get lost

 

Spent all of my free time last week charting Leo Moracchioli Covers :) - sort of couldn´t stop.

If you wanna check some out - go there .... argh i cannot make the link work ... just enter Rodman Leo in search here (nodshead)

Though.... the reason i started making them was killed by poison...

When we played Killing in the Name back in the days - right within the week the official dlc was released, and of course we had to cancel the competition on it.

 

Now i found Leos awesome cover and made a (really fine) CDLC out of it.... Cause it seems to be cursed because of me there was a major rulechange to the forum that covers, or part of covers can and will now be banned if they are (sound or play or feel??? - not specified) too much the same as the original - and like "cover police squad" is installed ;)

Cursed.

 

Rock as hard as you can!

 

Here is my first try with greetings from lovely Rovijn, Croatia where it´s raining heavily today, my family is ebooking/Nintendo Switching/Netflixing (goddamit what times are we living in), so i got some time for mini squier stratocasting.

lil +

who, holding a 6 or 4-string cannot love that song?

Good memories. I levelled up on lead on that song 4 years ago.

 

 

Megadeth is always fun ^_^

lil +

 

Just to humiliate myself, I tested the remaining lead parts.

I have no way of doing this solo anytime soon! I could improve on the main riff part though.

And this one definitely lived up to its name:

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253lead_mc01.png

First goes on rhytm:

Couple of things to work on these in the riff repeater before hitting the score attack mode.

The tone in this one sounds bad.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int101.png

 

Really like the main riff in this one.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_int201.png

 

I think Bat Country could have been played as rhytm as well, perhaps at advanced level?

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week253rhytm_bc01.png

A little bit of lead

 

My daughter tried some bass with me.

 

 

Then on to rhythm

A bit of RR in Dio's solo already, but surely not enough.

 

No RR here yet, I just enjoyed playing it.

Some tries for this week:

- Lead

- Rhythm

- Bass

Some progress:
