@@Toni-Wan Kenobi - One more note!

Would be rude not to pass you by one note in this one as well ;)

One more update. Apart from bends, I reckon this is a perfect run. (426 / 431 = 98.83, misses: 5)

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week265/lead/i06.png

 

I can randomly do those bends, but I'm pretty sure only the B-string notes are supposed to be bent, even though the e-string note is also marked as bend in the game.

Probably gonna throw the towel in on this weeks masterclass. Even though I'm one note away from 100% I just don't enjoy playing this song and at the end of the day. Isn't that why we play in the first place, to have fun? The dream of 100% might bring me back later but for now I'm just gonna stick with this

 

Yeah, this song is possible for 100%. I just can't seem to stop missing easy notes.

 

The image sharing site I use is down. @@meelo I got the same percentage as you on both songs, will hopefully get them posted today still. 

Anyone know any image sharing sites, which don't require you to make an account?

Oh I can't accept those. No -tag and you posted the same URL twice! Well done! (Damn!) At least I really enjoy the bass-line for that Queens of the stoneage song! :)

Btw, are you having troubles with that slide from 1st fret to 12th at the beginning?

@@meelo Thanks for the heads up, I didn't realise both images was in the same link. Nah, I can hit the slide it aint always perfect most often the game say it is late  :lol:

It is quite a fun Bass arragment yes, can't go wrong with a bit of QOTSA! Take me to church is fun to play too. 

That slider at the beginning is my nemesis. Takes me several attempts to get past that, and then I fail at some random stupid place at the middle. :D Good thing that the link you gave shows both pictures anyways :P

Well I'm gonna nail it tomorrow 100% No doubt you will too!! Your score is really good for a non-full streak, are you using a different computer or the same one that has been playing up with RS?

Steam's support suggested checking out their Proton project, which is an extension to Steam for Linux. It works like Wine (because they use wine under the hood), but what ever they did to that, seems to work better than pure wine. Score attack crashing is also gone :)

Fast slides eh.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week265/rhythm/m03.png

Took me NINE whole attemps on SA to beat my previous 98% on LAS. And it wasn't even a good improvement  :lol:

I've also added a bunch of songs with all 3 arrangements to the selection list.

 

I'm gonna regret posting these early! @@meelo, you are just gonna smash them or just play Mastermode an kill my score. Only 2000 away from 1st place, I should play it again, but I'll leave it for another day. 



 

Hah well done! I feel like mastermode is plausible with Domesticated Animals, but not with take me to church. Will see if I bother to grind the 100 % after all :) Now, it's time for you to start grinding the Taylor Swift lead ;) It's not that bad.

Thanks man!! @@meelo

Taylor Swift sucks balls mate. I won't be playing that garbage, even if you paid me!

 

I suppose that only leaves playing the Take me to church rhythm track over and over and over and over again :P

 

I didn't even know who Taylor Swift was before this week. As long as you ignore the vocals the intro section isn't actually bad sounding. And it teaches you how to play root + octave of the third, which seems like a useful skill.

 

Getting better

Well, still better first attempt than @ :D

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week265/lead/a01.png

 

LAS it is.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week265/lead/a02.png

 

That arpeggio's picking pattern is hard to remember and it's very hard to see where the chord changes. So I just strummed through the chords (with varying success) at the intro.

Perhaps a bit easy for an 8. I have a false sense of confidence with this one. I feel like I could do it near perfectly if I spent a day or two doing those solo parts in riff repeater.
