Beer and Bass!

Not easy to sight read, but I don't think it's harder than 5.

Ow, sloppy B-tuning. And all that downtuning for two damn notes http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/facepalm24x24.png

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week289/bass/a01.png

 

Such a fine song!
http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week289/bass/m01.png

Had to slow it down a bit.

And there we go.

My shot on Paralytic States

 

Also I think I was promoted by mistake to Rhythm Masterclass without playing on it for 2/3 weeks and the last score was 88%. :)

Nah, you haven't been promoted to mc rhythm. I can't even find a single mc rhythm entrance by you :huh:

@@meelo

 

You're Right. I thought Orphaned was Advanced as well on the rhythm path and I saw the *NunoJBSilva in grey, that is why I confused everything. My bad. Thanks.

little work here and there

 

 

 

Is anyone else having any difficulty with the intermediate songs this week?  I downloaded all three and the only one that shows up for me is Sledgehammer.  I copied the files into the correct folder, restarted Rocksmith and they don't show up in my playlist.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Make sure you copied the PC versions (_p.psarc) and check if you can see the songs in CFSM.

They def are the pc version of the song.  I keep forgetting about CFSM.  I'll install it on my desktop tonight and see if it's there.

 

Thanks

 

Lead improvement.

 

 

And bass, hmm, ok.

 

Okay, I'm going to try and speak music. Someone please correct me on parts where I'm wrong.

Pretty sure the first scale was E major with I, II, V, III chord progression. And for the second part the scale is G major with the same progression.

Holy shit! Never heard this song but really fun to play. Managed to get through it on SA and then tried couple more times. Don't think I can get better than this without RR

 

 

 

 

 

Your profile says "beginner guitarist" LOL. How long have you been playing bass for?

Okay, I'm going to try and speak music. Someone please correct me on parts where I'm wrong.

I assume you are talking about the arpeggio parts.  If so, I believe you are correct.  I like this sort of analysis of songs, I'm trying to figure out chord progressions better, so thank you!

This is the most constantly hard song i have ever gotten a score this good on.  There really is very little time to relax while playing this.

 

 

 

I feel this song should be easy, but every time my brain sees an arpeggio it starts telling my fingers to hit random frets and strings.  Might be easier to just learn this without the note highway.

 

 

also some beginner.

No, the whole song. The arpeggios are of course played over those same chords.

That ridiculously fast Am C G Fm. Wow.

I realised rhythm is actually bass. The great thing about this is that you can just skip the tuning and play with standard tuning and offset the colours :) (E is yellow, A is blue, D is orange, and G is green).
http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week289/rhythm/m02.png

Damn, couldn't get a good streak like I did in LAS while forcing my brain to ignore the instictive colours.
http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week289/rhythm/m04.png

 

Edit: Ugh. It was Orpheus that had the B standard tuning that I didn't care much for. But still, rhythm is absolutely same as bass, except had to do all that mind-shifting with the colours http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/facepalm24x24.png

@meelo  The reason i did not put the rhythm part of "Here's to life" in the the competition is because it is just the bass part for 5 string bass.  It does say so in the cdlc release notes.
