Rock On!

@Stark_Knight all 3 links for "like hell" works just fine for me.   Don't know why they wont work for you.

 

Anyone else have problem with them?

-= weekly leaderboard update =-

 

no leader changes

 

Rock on!!!!

Well I won't get too much time to work on the solo for this one. I'm out of town the rest of the week. This will have to do.

 

 

Damn you @. You had to tie my score last week. What makes it especially painful is I had a 195 streak on a lesser attempt. I'm getting closer to winning one of these. I'm gonna keep working at it!

As promised,  :lol:

Abba, still needs a bit of work. It's coming though!

Wanted another 100%

@@Toni-Wan Kenobi Looks like I won't be enjoying second place of advanced bass for much longer :lol: Perhaps you should try testing some songs by Royal Blood ;)

I'm sure the RS Champs Ref's, will kick me out of advance soon anyway. You'll be safe! Hoping for a couple more weeks before I get properly shifted to Masterclass  ^_^ 

 

Yea I like Royal Blood. I've also seen them live, they were warm up for the Foo Fighters! Amazing night! I haven't played RB for a lot of months, they were a little difficult last time. 

@@meelo and you haven't posted your score yet! Could still beat me or come 2nd place to gain a few pts still  ;) Get practicing!!

Getting better.

 

pfft. I thought I had started score attack after checking those couple of nasty spots in this one. I was so hyped because I hadn't heard any streak end noises during playing, so I thought I must have gotten a perfect run. Guess this means a re-run!

I think 99.8 means 1 note miss at some point. Oh well :)

mkay, not so lucky :)

Man, these G chords are a pain to get right! As for these bends, I feel like I'm hitting them, it sounds fine, but the game just isn't giving them to me. 

 

Didn't get a great improvement today. Maybe break 98% tomorrow  :rolleyes:

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, i've tried not to get my fingers in flames by playing this song!

I've modified my playing on this pattern:

And it gets easier to play faster here.

@@Toni-Wan Kenobi Thanks for pushing me into getting the perfect streak, but unfortunatelly the score is not high enough. I don't get the same timing accuracy with bass note detection as I get with the guitar. Although, this is so fast paced that it's hard to get the timing right anyways.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week261/bass/a04.png

 

@@Ploutchsky that should be totally fine. I've done the same thing on multiple songs. Sometimes I've even changed chords to more comfortable positions. Tabs are not always made in the most optimal way, especially bass tabs tend to do a lot more jumping than is actually necessary.

(Unfortunatelly!) Not a single Toni-Wan Kenobi was harmed while making these bass scores.

Two notes! First streak is better

edit: messed up the IMG tags, pictures were missing and score sheets got updated while I was fixing the tags :lol:

Edited October 25, 20187 yr by meelo

I feel obligated to miss something as simple as an A chord every time, but not necessarily the same one, or two!

 

A new challenger has arrived and now I must defend my position

Nice one dude, knew you had it in ya! 

I'll be a bass player sometime.

 

Not really much time this week, so basically sight reads. Through the advanced piece I did play twice once with a pick and then without, I kept the without score. I really should practice more with a pick, but it feels really clunky on bass, where it feels better on guitar for me due to string spacing I think. Well first up Intermediate.

 

 

Then beginner because it was funish.

 

And then advanced because I didn't like the intermediate song.  Turns out I didn't like the advanced one either. Not a bad chart or anything, just things that sound like hair metal to me just give me the cringes. I'll keep playing them though, since they do help me improve.
