Rock On!

I got obsessed with the rhythm part of What's Up trying to clean up my messy strumming. It paid off.  It was a trainwreck on my hollow bodied guitar, couldn't hear the music while I was playing.  Switched to my squire, since I brought my strat to get restrung and setup.  Had better luck when muting the strings a bit before the chord changes than just letting them ring.

 

 

So then I had to try it on master mode a few times.  Very happy with the result!  I may actually be learning to play this thing!

 

I have improved a bit my score. I'm happy, it's my best result for now: 86 on lead.

 

@@PinKushin All you need is a standard M to M guitar cable, the detune pedal, and the rocksmith cable. The pedal itself is what changes the tuning so you don't need anything else to go with it. All you need to do to set it up is have the standard guitar cable as the IN on the pedal and put the rocksmith cable as the OUT to go to your computer or whatever you play on.

 

Side note: It does also require power to use so you may need an extension cord since the one it comes with is pretty small.

My spirit wants to...but my fingers won't let me. :blush:

 

 

 

 

 

 

good night

a little bit of chilled out bass tonight........

 

 

 

 

relatively pleased 

Now on to one of the best bands from the UK, Oasis.

 

i have seen these guys 5 or 6  times and it was such a shame when they split.

 

if i could play guitar like Noel Gallagher id be a happy Rock Star.........but i'm not so just to prove it,

 

 

100th time lucky  :P over 90%

 

 

and i got passed the SA  :lol:

 

 

Night night all....... 92% tomorrow

Alrighty got another chance to play a bit so here's some updates:

 

BEG Lead:

 

and ADV Rhythm:

at 90% - Don't count this score

 

 

Pretty much at max golden elk on this run.  I had 4 to 6 chords I thought I hit perfectly marked wrong.   I think I know it well enough to sit in with the band and play it (provided of course I can bring a laptop, a real tone cable,  and a copy of rocksmith).

Definitely not my kind of music there. But I managed a couple play throughs.

 

Hey @PinKushin, I'll make you a deal.  I'll mention you in each of my intermediate bass posts with a score for this next week's challenge, if you'll do the same and we can duke it out for a week.  Should be a pretty normal practice week for me this week so should be a good run.

 

As always thanks to everyone that keeps the championship up and running,

--Wrenth

Well thanks to the championship i think ill skip the 92%........

 

 

and no work today  ;)

 

My spirit wants to...but my fingers won't let me. :blush:

 

 

 

I got a 77% in first run, and managed to get a 95% after a couple of hours in RR. Don't give up too soon! Once you get the moves it's really satisfying to play this one.

I keep missing a lot of 2nd string notes for no reason.

At this point it's pretty much just random strum misses
