-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

I've kept missing and skipping weeks due to life being too busy - work, moving house this weekend coming, etc. I really wanna participate in this weeks' GoG for bass as I love that album. Last two weeks in a row I havent submitted in time. Oops. Let's see how i go.

First tries.

@@Rodman, Well, I worked my butt off but I just can't seem to get it all put together in one take.  Here is my best effort.  Don't ask me about the end, I feel like I am just making it up and then resolve on a D chord in resignation.

Solid fun song

 

I've never really gotten serious about learning tapping.  Guess I'm getting a crash course this week!

 

I've never gotten Zappa.  Isn't stuff like this supposed to be musically humorous?

here is a lil bad my girl. +1 braincollection, thx

 

Well done @@Rodman!  I like the intro and the guitar slaps to keep time.  You put your own musical flair on the song!

Yo, dicer - well done! The open chords for prechorus and chorus are a good idea! Will try and change that probably for myself.

 

It´s only tuesday (!).... (!)

 

Ok, we will make it not too easy for the next one, and i´m in an epic mood today, we need a heroic riff i feel.

Choose wisely

GnR - Sweet Child of mine

or

DC - You Shook me All night long.

 

Rock!, Rod

Yeah, the open chords really did it for me, I found that without any bass playing them above the 12th fret made the song thin and it started to lose cohesion.  You kept the song together with the percussive slaps on the guitar, I moved the chords to put more bass back into them.  I think both were good solutions.

 

You are ramping up the difficulty!  I have never been able to touch the riff on Sweet Child, but I love the idea of being able to play it, so lets give it a try.  Can we give ourselves two weeks for this one?

finally getting something to submit again, and it's with the new bass, whoo...

 

Anyway:

 

Advanced Bass, Black Sabbath:

95.02%

My scores for this week. Glad you are enjoying Ride The Lightning! Sadly, it has some huge note detection issues and it's harder in some solos/riffs

A late start this week, here's what I got so far:

We have all the time in the world, sure!!!!!!

Sooo looking forward to that :D

Ugh, bends...

 

 

Bends again. I can't play them on my Fender Jazz

 

First attempt... very random

 

Second attempt, did worse

 

Challenge!

Just need to get used to the chords a bit more.

 

not too bad

 

same % better streak

Just a smidge off 99

My early bass playing:

 

 

 

 

 

Bass day

bass scores

 

If 99 monkey strummed on 99 guitars they would come up with this song.

Hey guys, just got Rocksmith a day or two ago and saw this and had to participate, even if Im late. 

 

 

 

I messed up on where to take the screenshot but it was like a 92% or something. (I know it doesn't exactly count for the leaderboard but it's okay, I just wanted to participate. Will try better next week)

 

I also tried to play the black sabbath one but holy cow that beginning solo is hard! 

 

Question for the bass players, do you calibrate again if you switch between guitar and bass? 

Also, what is the best way for me to learn what all the symbols mean? The lessons I've done are all videos and nothing practical so when it started throwing bends (or what I assume are bends) at me I was really confused haha.

Welcome to the championship.

 

You don't need to recalibrate between bass and guitar.

Here is a guide to what the symbols mean.  http://static2.cdn.ubi.com/ncsa/rocksmith/website/guides/Notehead-tail%20guide.pdf

The bending = BS

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I have dreams of this song not constantly telling me i miss entire phrases of open notes

 

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I practiced this in RR for hours. HOURS. The intro just kicked my ass so bad. On attempt 2, after my 3 X's, I got so pissed off that i grabbed the neck of my bass, pulled it up to shake it, and incidentally ended up smashing my nose on the part where the strap connects to the body giving myself a small nosebleed. So, yeah.

Ok, seriously... wtf is this lmao
