first (and about only :( ) tries that week with a damn cool bass track and a problem child... like @@Gamut once said - thank god it´s the solo...

 

 

thats 2

(setting all time lowest personal goal to 80)

 

 

that´s 4 - gotcha aka  ?

 

 

smh, my laziness cost me the win last week so I made sure to try harder this time so I don't just get my one initial submission

 

 

Ask me about playing Wonderful Slippery Thing 40 times

 

I would honestly play this more during the weekend but I won't be at home. It could be improved some, like to 93ish %. Not a lot higher than that since the song does have a few licks literally only playble by Mr. Govan himself. 

 

I guess I coulda used some of that time to play the Metallica a second time but oh well

That darn spider chord at the end (Gsus2 I think) is a darn stretcher. Not sure I can play the song third time in a row, but I'll try. I'm not happy with the streak.

Well, you can imagine how satisfied I'm with this streak, but my left arm just cannot take the end again for now.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week282/rhythm/a05.png

Had to push it, man. Guess I didn't have enough power in my pinky to hammer on that fourth fret C#, as soon as I started playing the third fret C on index finger and hammer on with middle finger, 100 %.

Forgot to upload my first attempts. They were lame but oh well :) Only had about three hours to play this week and I spent most of it playing other songs

 

 

 

 

I think this was the 1st time ever playing an unfamiliar song on MC Bass in Score Attack without failing it

 

 

 

Surprisingly difficult for Intermediate

 

I thought this was Ice-T song? :)

 

 

I thought this was Ice-T song? :)

Gangsta rapper with original content?  :lol:

day 2 try 1

 

 

 

once again no bloody time, and even less next week.......its hard work being a Grandad  B)

 

 

i had a brilliant run on this later on but made a complete balls up on the last 1/4 

 

 

I know you were shocked at how many times i played Elastica @@meelo but you should be more shocked that i played Metallica more than once  :lol:

 

 

The Man says could be better......... it would have been better if i had thrown the cat at the guitar on full volume  :wacko:

I know you were shocked at how many times i played Elastica @@meelo but you should be more shocked that i played Metallica more than once  :lol:

It's equally shocking as the fact that I played Mehtallica more than once :D

I may or may not have bursted out some coffee when reading this :D

Tried again.. Better streak, same score

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week282/rhythm/a06.png

Then it got worse again. Either I press too hard or not hard enough at the end and start missing random strums. Very tiresome ending

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week282/rhythm/a07.png

 

Some baby steps on this one as well.

End of the week is coming...better take a few swings on bass

I just know @@Poutzy is going to make a post tomorrow an smash the shit out of this song with one play. Nice being 1st until the last day, I love Mc Bass. :lol: 
 

Didn't had too much time to play this week, still here it is

 

Got another hour so scores are updated... but can't do better without slowing down and RR

 

 

Also tried Velvet Revolver. "Decent performance" lol

 

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1691022569 Velvet Revolver 97.74%

Still not enough to beat @@diceslinger but I only played 2 days this week so i'm still okay with it. Even getting some 2nd place finishes it's going to be difficult to catch me in the 10 week leader-boards, but if it keeps happening you should still have the chance. Next season I'm going to be coming for that advanced spot though. IMs getting a bit too easy, well easy when I'm not having to move my hands at the speed of light to go from the 5th fret to the 12th, fucking Duffy making my life difficult with these massive shifts.
