Rock On!

@@Mortalo Hmm, I should still be in Beginner lead, not intermediate.

@@meelo You've got best scores in both Beginner and Intermediate so I gave you the better one :) as you can get only one :)

Nice song.

 

I have never tried master before. I guess my memory just not that good.

First run was 99.59 %

Lost it at the chords, expecially those muted rhytm strums -_-

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week257/bass/int01.png

 

First run was 98,1 %

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week257/bass/adv02b.png

 

Oh boi. Fast octave finger picking O_O

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week257/bass/mc01.png

 

Because this was a beginner song, I tried it in score attack and got immediately killed, so I tried LAS

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week257/lead/beg01.png

 

Then played it in 80 %, 95 % and 100 % speed in riff repeater and went back to score attack and took the screenshot so early that it didn't even show the percentage.

So I had to do it again :lol:

It's nice to have Royal Republic in here. It's probably my most favourite garage rock band.

The Rhythm is HARD but manageable.

 

 

I like all songs this week, that's very rare :)

Played bass first

... oops, forgot to take Bon Jovi screen capture. Was 99%, as expected. Will play again

 

Good workout for my pinkie, it's still weak

 

Only (7)? I got better first time scores on songs rated as high as (9)...

Oh btw, is this acceptable alternative version for lead? http://customsforge.com/index.php/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/tommy-gun-r11430 It's actually in E-standard and is played from the G-string instead of B and high E string. Slightly more jumpy, but sounds better (in my opinion).

 

if so

@@meelo So that's what the big X means, thought so. You can replace those with a single string mute and it still registers if you don't want to rake over 2 strings. I need to relax more through that part to get the 100%.

First plays on guitar

 

 

 

Hm, weird. I've never heard this song before but got "excellent performance" on masterclass rhythm :)

 

"Decent performance". Definitely an improvement on rhythm, but the actual solo is just a mess of random notes

 

@meelo - very well done - welcome to intermediate!

Lol! First week and I win the advance category for bass. I feel like I shouldn't be there, I'm probably intermediate on my good days. Got Lucky I guess! 

Here is Beginner bass, play #1

Some screenies:

It's somewhat fast, but not complicated.

 

 

I did not liked this one and completely forgot what rhythm was about.

 

Judas Priest back with their best album since 1991. That's some quality stuff.

 

To my surprise, my dad bought himself a Dystopia vinyl in a sale a few days ago. Happy panda  ^_^

Enjoying this song I might manage to 100% it.

Have a nice day!

Megadeth. Love them, wish I was better.
