Rock On!

Then the rest.

 

Can't pull that C-shape barre fast enough, so I went for the usual A-shape barre.

Could do a lot better, if I just spammed the chords, but I don't think that's the point.

Well, that escalated quickly.

@@meelo Have the same issue with Comfortably Numb rhythm track.  It started ok, then it just turned into a stream of misses.

A tiny bit of progress.

Comfortably Numb on bass = 98.48%, with a 50% higher score than last time.

This is a really hard chart.. I can't even try to do the hybrid picking.. I'm just faking it with a sweep mute(ish) picking technique. It doesn't always work and note recognition is a real problem. I'm making some good progress on it though. I think there is a chance to beat this in SA.. but it'll be tough..

 

 

Rythm 98.1%

Lead 95% This solo is too fast for me

John Paul Jones is really channeling the James Brown in this onehttp://i63.tinypic.com/296p02f.png

Had some help while playing bass today.

 

 

@@MaZtoR is this one of yours?

http://dailypicksandflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/fish-bass-guitar.jpg

He looks comfortably numb!

Had some help while playing bass today.

 

 

 

I finally felt like I could try Score Attack.  Still got an X!

Hmm, only 7 misses. Could be about 4 more, since I stupidly stopped pressing down on third fret at one of the parts where it goes E333333 D5 E22 E11, but I don't think it counted any of them as misses. Judging by the mastery on MaZtoR's performance, I think he had 5 misses.

I was supposed to try and practice the lead and rhythm solo parts today, but that 99 % was too close on bass. That rhythm part during the solo is also darn tricky, as the beat goes up to 208 bpm. Even though the finger placements are not that hard.

Reckon with just a little practice I should be able to get it up to 95%. Most of what I'm missing seems to be the parts leading up to the solo

 

My right hand is burning

Great playing guys!!!!

Rhythm time.

 

 

 

@@ponchoko 27 tries - thats cool already!

You wanna level-up to advanced?

mini +

 

 

very sloppy +

 

 

well... after working 8h, teaching 3h, and being to school for parents day for both of my kids, not no more left in brain n fingers..

 

now its NHL vs online time on my PS4 to kick some ass together with a dear pal. cheers.

@@Rodman I'll call your bet and raise 2 %.

 

I thought this one had perfect streak until the beginning of the fast riff before solo.. Guess not.
http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week268/lead/a05.png
 

This gets pretty darn close, but worse accuracy.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week268/lead/a06.png

And some rhythm...

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week268/rhythm/a04.png

 

Wanted to try master mode, but really needed to hear the backing track to have chance of staying in time, so I had to play the regular track. Again, great streak, but worse playing

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week268/rhythm/a05.png

 

And passed master mode on my first go, which was a surprise. Screwed up here and there, but I mostly remembered the section changes.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week268/rhythm/a06.png

 

I am pleased with these Metallica scores, but there are couple of parts that still need a lot of sanding to make it sound good enough to play out loud :P

 

Solo speed is still a bit out of reach.

 

 

Comfortably Numb on bass - 99.48%

@@diceslinger because I don't want to make it too easy for you :

 

I also tried the rhythm but I don't get the strumming pattern. I think it's really lacking in the game  :(
