Rock On!

 

@@meelo Nice play through man! Sets me a target  ;) I'm yet to play Brianstorm, will have a go tomorrow

Didn't have a great deal of time today, here's a couple beginners. 

Forgot to screenshot the first play.... 

 

One note didn't want to play fair with all the rest. An I'm not sure I wanna strive for 100% it's a pretty boring arrangement for Bass.

 

Lots of RR to get up to speed and then the first run on Score Attack was the best.  Haven't been able to get close to it since.  I'm not a barre chord fan, which translated means I'm not very good at them.

 

Didn't really expect to like the song, but it's actually a lot of fun to play  :)

 

Beg Lead - 95.96% 

Streak - 127

Score - 625,223

 

 

First off, does anybody know why I keep getting this error? Recently I've been getting this when clicking on the songs so I've had to manually search for them.

 

 

 

@ Sorry to disappoint you but it's looking like the 100% won't happen. Not that it's impossible to play but this song is really strict for me so I miss practically every bend.

 

 

 

More RacerX to traumatize me and my hands

 

Late start this week, just came back from a short trip to see a tribute to Pink Floyd :)

 

Got confused and thought this was the beginner's song... started easy but then I was like WTF, no way this is 2!

 

 

Then I realized the beginners songs are different...

 

 

Even though Metallica is one of my favorite bands, I don't like the bass line in this song

I found this a bit dissonant as well.  Glad I'm not the only one!

Ladies and gentlemen, i have a problem with the thunderstruck song.

 

On the first pre-chorus the bass plays this:

And the rhythm guitar plays this:

Is it normal?, i found it weird and non musical to hears.

Hey guys, I don't see these on the version I'm playing. (For Bass anyway) 

 

It is funny I recognize a few of these 3 note per string licks from the Paul Gilbert videos.

That live version seems to be a simplified version of the song. At least when it comes to bass tabs. The other version I've played goes: A2-A2-A2-A0-A0-A0-E0^E2 (hammer on) and repeat. F# is part of both E major and minor scales and adds an interesting flavour when used as a passing note. But I suppose this simplified version doesn't do justice to that spice-up :)

mkay. I can take the hint.

Your consistency is freakish!  

mkay. I can take the hint.

 

My signature should now always have up-to-date info (if browser cache allows!) regarding my entries, but latest score is not always the best score.

Anyways, some updates

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week262/rhythm/b03.png

 

Only better streak. I didn't realise the first tremolo sequence ends with 10th fret on A string before the chord sequence starts. And I had stupid miss at the end where you strum F5 and F#5 chords. I am confident that I can catch Maztor's accuracy.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week262/rhythm/i03.png

It took a lot of work in RR, but I got Brianstorm on bass up to 99.6%

 

More on it work to follow

1sts

 

 

I'm a bit late posting starts, and it looks like I'm behind already!

 

Really dig this song!

 

 

 

I want to like Arctic Monkeys, but I'm just not feeling it.

 

 

Was looking forward to this one, but I can't play the lead.  Oh well.  Rhythm was fun...kinda....still thinking about the lead.

 

Looks like @@PinKushin threw down the exact same run :)

I could not let @meelo have this one that easy.

Long but fun.

HA! @.. got you back for tying score from a couple of weeks ago..

 

 

It's still early... I'm sure you'll beat it :D

Now I just need to get lucky in finish the rhythm track of that  song.

Also tried that metallica song twice, even though I don't like metallica.

Not much time to play this week... good thing I don't like the songs anyway :) just my first attempts

 

 

 

 

I really don't like this one. What kind of "music" is it?

 

 

 

 

Don't really get the rhythm here without slowing down so I just played random strums

 

Decided to try Metallica. Surprisingly not so difficult
