getting started

 

 

Well that was more tricky than I expected, should have practiced Bass first. 

 

 

 

 

Fourth attempt: Couldn't improve a lot, those sweep picking solos are way above my level. Also, i had tons of note recognition problems and my guitar is showing me signs that is on it's last legs, so i better start saving for another one hahahah

Drinks are on me....600 days playing every day!

My total time played is a bit more but definitely not every day

One thing to notice is the fact that "Total playing time" doesn't take into account time spent in Score Attack mode. :huh:

All scores from testing.

Seven seas of rhye, is a tricky little sixer.

Congrats, I keep a guitar playing journal and track my time every time I play, I miss a day here and there. I'm currently at 619:10, I've been using RS since January. 

My current score attack attempts this week, one where I was a bit fatigued, and the other after had slept and ate to be re-energized.

Took a break from GoG to play the Masterclass song. Classic tune from the Lord of Darkness! The tab still needs a bit of work, specially in the solo (The last part of the solo does not have the hammer on/pull ofs charted and it's harder to hit those without a miss), but overall, pretty good run

My first entry for the week:

 

 

 

I did the bonus bass Santana song too, but somehow the screenshot didn't save.  I'll have to do it again.

Good and relatively easy songs this time, even Advanced!

 

 

 

 

 

I managed to do Advanced Lead with no strikes! But I played this song for at least couple hours before :)

 

I think Nirvana is actually harder than this one.

what a cool week!!!!!

Rock on!!!!

I'm not sure I was aware of that.  I did feel like my playing time was not increasing very fast.  Explains why Steam says I have 1400 hours playing too.  If I remember correctly the guitarcade games don't get counted either.

Did you play guitar before January or are you starting from zero?

I played for a little while and did the Metal Method basic guitar course then quit. I started again in Dec/Jan with RS. RS is much more fun then doing scales and exercises. 

Ditto. I wish I had known about Rocksmith in 2014 when I started playing bass. I was living in a rural area with very few people to play... quit after 6 months

I played for 2 years and it was a struggle so I quit. That was back in 2013, this last Christmas I decided to try again with RS and it's great and with RSCS it's even better. Thanks for the awesome competition. My goal is to make it to MC. I'm working on No More Tears and hope to have it in SA by the end of the week. I tried the GOG Gloryhammer song, but it's seems like to much (57min), maybe the next time around I'll be ready. I was thinking of suggesting Bucket Head Gold Dragon which is 26 min and seeing if anyone would be interested? 

No more Tears, intermediate B and advance R, working on the lead. 

 

 

My entry for the Bonus Beginner Bass...

 

"Lounge Act" attempt, same percentage, lower score, but a longer overall note streak:
