Geez, that chart is very unforgiving with those slides. Always missing slides because of prematurely releasing B string.

 

Hopefully never playing this again :lol:

 

Rhythm is probably an 8 at most. With little practice I'd nail those arpeggios and call it a 7.

 

 

Got a brand new bass so i had to add a score in my categories even if its a bad one

 

 

Rammstein - Waidmanns heil - 100% - 1 920 160

Rush - Nobodys Hero - 87.6%

Bass day.    My scores might be a bit low in places.  Had to handle this thing while playing:

But she lied down after a while so it was not that bad in the end.

 

@@MaZtoR You have the same breed of kitty as me! 

Got some time this evening to give lead an rhythm a go. Not too hot on the song choice, though I may grow to like it.

@@MaZtoR You have the same breed of kitty as me! 

 

 

  Doubt it.  Mine have a purebred yellow Norwegian forest cat as mother and unknown father.  We also have her son.  He is twice her size yellow and long haired, also with an unknown father.

not much to say this week, no bloody time as usual..... but beat my previous i think

Ah, fair one! Mistaken identity, nothing Norwegian about my boy, a little bit Russian though.

Damn chords  :(  
 

 

 

 

Getting a little better.  Can we break 99% @@ZeroPingNZ?

 

 

I'll learn the B chord by the the end of this one

 

For being rated a 5 I can't much touch this song.

Update on Ending Credits lead and rhythm: 

Lead good improvement, I don't understand how a few get 100%, but different scores. 

Rhythm: slight improvement

Bass on Friday evening.

 

 

Talk about latency, perhaps this helps someone.

 

I have an old an sturdy Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 USB interface. While this works great with a DAW and ASIO and also out-of-the-box with Linux, I always had problems using it with Rocksmith. Accessing it as a Windows WDM device, RS always had unbearable latency or would even lock up. So I had to use my motherboards audio for Rocksmith. Which sucked, because I needed an extra pair of speakers, my good monitors are connected to the Scarlett.

 

Then I installed asio4all. I do not even remember why, I think something with Guitar Pro. From this moment on RS worked perfectly with the Scarlett, although I had changed nothing inside RS and it apparently still opens it as a WDM device. Great, one pair of Speakers gone from my desk.

 

Also a slight improvement:

 

Bass

Rush - Nobodys Hero - 94.9% - 714 807

little better

I just barely got one in for this week:

 

Almost forgot this one...

Almost forgot this one...

 

 

Good luck! This was my 3rd attempt to play it today :)

I don't understand how a few get 100%, but different scores. 

 

 

If you play most notes as "perfect" rather than "good" or "early", you'll end up with a higher score. I think I have a pretty good sense of rhythm so when I get 100%, it's usually the highest score, especially on bass. Or see above :)

 

I think that's enough :) practiced it for 40 minutes, now I'm tired and want to go sleep.

Why don't you just use Rocksmith cable? If you want to play with a real amp, you can use Boss LS-2 pedal to send A to an amp and B to Rocksmith. That's how I do it when I'm allowed to play loud

Bass Path:

Intermediate:  Opeth - Ending Credits (5) @83%
