Rock On!

Tried to clutch an improvement to the Dio's rhytm track in order to win ZeroPingNZ, but someone else had beat us both and in my attempts I kept hitting ~95.5 % anyways :(

 

Anyways, let's start with this bass again. I'm sure it's technically easier than last week's bat country, but very hard to remember which version of the fret 7-9 fingering sequence is coming. It keeps randomly changing. Same issue applies to rhytm and lead tracks if I remember correctly. Soon we'll see!

Another one of my choices let’s hope I get the chance to play this week and improve my Arctic Monkeys best scores.

And as a bonus the Kings of Leon, Sex on fire is on this weeks play list, I seem to remember the bass is really fun to play, but can’t remember the L & R parts, great choice.

Hi!

Could we change the sex on fire tab to this one instead? http://customsforge.com/index.php/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/sex-on-fire-r36603

It's newer and better than the old one.

 

Awesome songs this week!

I was so pissed about it! Oh well.

 

Bass:

 

 

Surprisingly, this is easier to play on Lead and Rhythm than Bass

 

Nothing fast or complicated but very hard to play

Rhythm and Lead

 

 

I hate weird chords! 

 

On the other hand, Lead sounds pretty good and rather easy to play. 

 

 

 

Take Me to Church on bass = 100% on the second try

 

I was getting a lot of note recognition issues on Sex On Fire, so I'm going to try @@blejusca 's link (thanks)

 

As for Are You Mine, I never really got that track down, and haven't played it in a long time.  I'm going to try to transpose it on the fly to keep as much of it as possible between the 2nd and 5th frets.

Awesome songs this week!

Some bad comments were on the page of the other download. Can/should we switch to this version ?.

Take me to Church: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1501171817

R U Mine: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1501177117 Hahahahah :) It was a considerably better try than my attempt a few years ago. 

Minor Swing: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1501178917 A finger jingler indeed :)

Sex on Fire:... Looks like my screen shot's disappeared for that one. Will have to do a redo :/

@blejusca and @Bounours   Your wish is my command.

 

Changing version of Sex on fire to the one made by CJCW.

 

Kings of leon - Sex on fire

I was starting off from 70.4 % in lead, 87.4  % in rhytm and 90 % in bass in R U Mine with like 10 play throughs in lead and rhytm, but it turns out I wasn't playing at full difficulty. I had been letting dynamic difficulty dictate my progress.

So "first" goes at full difficulty in SA:

@@MaZtoR beat me up to changing Kings of Leon :)

You need to remember that many times we won't know if there is any other version of a custom, so keep us informed :)

 

And screenies from testing a few minutes ago :lol:

First go, definitely room for improvement...

 

This one is really fun to play.  It keeps your fingers ,hands and mind busy through the whole song.

Should have gone to Learn a Song mode first... The rhytm version was an utter and complete failure. First three phases in and I was already dead.

Chuffed to have won last week!  took alot of work.

(is this really a 6 ?)

More firsts

More firsts

Int Lead 89% and Part 2 Rhythm 94%

https://ibb.co/b9piXz

https://ibb.co/he3XQK
