Let's Rock!

 

I've played this a ton, but this style is something I love hearing I ton, so I definitely do not mind:

 

 

Guitar time. Was able to beat my previous scores on 1st attempts!

 

 

This will need RR

 

 

Ugh, the chords recognition is broken!

 

 

 

 

 

Latest Lead records:

 

 

Advanced Lead

 

Slight improvement on ADV Lead (probably my last one for this week)

 

Beat my score of 97% from week 254 the first time.  I love seeing that progress!  I think it is my favorite part of da capo weeks.

 

Hoping I can clean up the strikes

 

@@Rodman, time for berserk mode again  

First bass tries this week.

Mkay, that's all three paths of R U Mine at 100 %. Used to struggle with that scale runner solo, now I'm hitting it every time for some reason :)

That's not bass :huh:

 

First bass tries this week.

 

Let the week begin,

 

one of the reasons i started rocksmith was the Arctic Monkeys......

 

beat my best score thanks to @@meelo for proving it could be done....I wonder if i can get passed the Master Mode .....Hmmmmm

 

Beat the one as well.........

 

this needs a little bit of work but happy so far.......

I Have tried the Django Reinhardt song but to be honest it would have sounded better if i had let my 1 year old Granddaughter hit the guitar with her milk bottle, and my 4 year old Granddaughter brush the strings with her hair brush     :huh:   so i gave up and concentrated on AM Master Mode

 

could do better 

Did someone say beast mode?

 

Almost perfect, but got nervous and failed to strum the top 3 strings. ._·

 

I'll give it couple of more tries, but I'm already super sick of this song and its dodgy lyrics.

@meelo  Is this better?

 

Okay, never playing that again :lol:

 

Mkay, old record was 99.32 % in hard mode and 98.87 % in master mode.

 

Somehow failed to miss any of the power chord slides :lol:

I will get that 100 %. Or die trying

 

 

ffs

 

I got those great streaks, but this is still my best effort.

A few runs.  Still can't help but think this song is about an STD.

 

@@meelo - just don´t try dying!

 
You got to be freaking kidding me!

 

This insanity will never end <_<

It's over! I'm tired of sex on fire
 

Long time lurker, first-time poster, please accept this humble offering:

 

@@meelo, that is just the sort of insanity that I have come to expect out of you.  Way to go!

I'm going to have to have a rant a la @Toni-Wan, maybe that will motivate me to play. In that rut where any excuse diverts playing time away.

 

@@LarryPlane, Welcome. Since you posted 100% on the beginner bass, I set you up at Intermediate Bass.

You know, I was really expecting to hear a rant after that :lol:
