HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

More Iron Maiden and some Finnish metal. Fantastic!

 

Fairly certain Royal Blood's lead is bass.

 

Edit: the tab for lead is the same as for bass, and the tone has an added octave pedal. It's definitely a bass chart :)

The band has only bass player and drummer. I think that bass is played through a guitar amp or something like that if I'm not mistaken.

The rest of the bass

So after a little hiatus I am back and ready to go (kind of).  Been uber busy lately and not had a chance to play much.  Here are my early submissions

 

Rhythm:  Kind of fun to play and not too difficult except for that damn C7 chord.

 

Lead:  The note recognition on this song SUCKS for me.  I am terrible at this song, but not that bad.

This song is definitely not 2! More like intermediate 4. Had issues with note recognition

 

This one is probably closer to 4 as well.

 

I'd say this one is 6

 

Really like this song, may be add it as Intermediate bonus? I'd rate it as 5

 

Tough!

Missed first try screenshot. Was something like 80 %. Also tried SA, but I got X'd out of the first three phrases. Can't do that augmented A.

Good chance to learn some partial chord shapes.

There we go, Masterclass bass (with the proper score this week !)

Ease back into it after a few weeks away.

 

Remember this from last time.   Played it a lot to get to 95.95%     Even with a bad start i beat that easy this time.

 

 

 

Got in a couple goes. Pretty tough for me these. 



 

lets go

 

 

 How could MTV or VH1, whoever it was pick Come On Eileen as the number one song of the 80's. It just pure crap.

 

 

 

Secret Agent Man - retro cool

 

Time to get started!

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week291/lead/a02.png

Damn fast!

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week291/lead/m01.png

 

Annoying blank spaces. Why couldn't they just have rhythmic parts from the lead track in the rhythm? :( Fast-forwarded over the blank spots. Streak seems oddly low... Hopefully I didn't fast-forward over a note. http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week291/rhythm/b01.png

Still pretty damn fast!

Guitar time

 

 

This CDLC is weird. Not sure what the purple bars there are for, I don't think there was anything to play!

 

 

Also tried Lead, way more fun to play

 

Weird chords, will need to learn the shapes

 

Same here

 

Not bad!

 

Could hardly keep up but the score isn't so bad

 

 How could MTV or VH1, whoever it was pick Come On Eileen as the number one song of the 80's. It just pure crap.

 

For sure it is not the best song of the 80s but it is fun :) That bass line is so nice ^_^

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

 

B7 is still not my friend.

 

Fast

Some early runs

 

The score spreadsheet has this song as "Secret Asian Man."  I can't say I haven't heard that in the lyrics before  :lol:

 

and some bass

 

Odd, I found this one easier than the beginner song.

 

 

Is Secret Agent Man the song that counts for the 10 week scoreboard since it is the higher difficulty for Intermediate?  

Bass Path:

Beginner: Royal Blood - Hole (2) (Eb Standard) @80%
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1747365054
Intermediate: Stratovarius - Paradise (3) (Eb Standard) @97.64%
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1747365264
Advanced: Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (5) @82%
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1747364912

 

Should Hole be easy?

Slightly better. I just can't do that riff the song begins with. All is well until about 94 % speed and then: Boom. Out of my reach.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week291/lead/m03.png

 

A lot better.

http://u.meelo.org/.rocksmith/week291/rhythm/a04.png
 

Bass Path:

Beginner: Royal Blood - Hole (2) (Eb Standard) @80%

 

Should Hole be easy?

Probably like level 3. It follows the same riffs over and over again and has very few notes, so each miss drops the overall accuracy dramatically.

 

The score spreadsheet has this song as "Secret Asian Man." I can't say I haven't heard that in the lyrics before :lol:

Oops, was playing the song in my head when writing the title. Not fix'd :)

Officially that song is not part of this week's bass competition. I left it there as a bonus as I was too lazy to remove the 5 extra columns. The advanced bass is easy this week as well.

Was fun stumbling through this :lol:

Well, that was quick!

 

After 3 SA attempts I winged this song!
