I'm pretty early with submitting by my standards, ran into note recognition issues so went for the pitch shift instead.

I really like walking basslines.  Volbeat gave me some pleasure today.

Do you have any tip for me, how to accurately learn the rhythm of the plucking? Just practicing only or do you have any tricks? Sometimes specially when the rhytmic is complitated I hear a bit different rhytmic than it is in the Rocksmith cDLC.

Slow the song down in Riff Repeater.  Learning the rhythm gets a lot easier the more you play.

 

Sometimes the cDlcs are wrong so don't worry to much if you think you can hear something different.

Some improvements

My best with a pick.  Need to do it in SA

Probably the best I get on lead

 

But while I'm at it and have it stuck in my head

Just for fun

 

And something for my class

 

I just like this song, so good

I was wondering: Why has some people noted "Bass (fingered)" and others just "Bass"? Is it different versions, or different input? And can RS differentiate between the playing style?

I've posted some noting fingered or with pick because I'm challenging myself to getting better at fingered bass.  I'm taking the beginner and intermediate songs and trying them fingered to get some practice.  And like any good challenge, making it public helps keep myself accountable 🙂

Will you be able to play Criminal again to get 99%+ accuracy and level up to the masterclass level? You are too good for the advanced class, so we have no chance in this competition 😉

 

 

@Mikson 

I had a good run on that one for sure. I'll level up if you guys think that's best. I don't think I'll be able to really compete with those guys in lead masterclass. Maybe a new class??? Expert? I don't know if that's an option or not but it would be a nice in-between.

Yeah, you rock hard. You are for sure  more of MC than ADV.

We'll level you up. I think you'll be fine and giving good competition up there.

If it still does not work out you are free to come back anytime!

 

No awards for sure but that's my fault for not practicing enough.

 

First rule of Lonesome Rider, we do not talk about the first playthrough 😮

New week is gonna start in about an hour - get your scores together!

I thought about what @It Happens1 wrote about. There are some guys here who are too good into the advanced class, but can't win in the masterclass. So maybe some level in between would make sense?

Whew....my head is spinning 🤣. I thought for sure I was gonna strike out several times....I honestly don't know how I didn't a few times. Especially that last solo. I would've been pretty upset if I struck out in the last minute 🤣

This week is over! New week championship started here:
