Wished I could spend as much time as everyone else practicing songs during the week...

This week's start:

 

 

 

 

 

Great song!

 

This isn't too bad. Oh no.


LAS it it then.


Lead for fun too.

Wow, everyone posting their 100% on the Bowie song.  I can get 94% on learn a song.  But I can't get very far when doing score attack.  This seems like a "hard beginner".

I did it...I've played Rocksmith every day for three years!

 

So I think I'll have a cigar 😉

@diceslinger That's amazing! Great accomplishment.

 

Riverman. I liked hearing the sax. Kind of fun song.

 

this lead song is way harder than I thought

Agree that it's a stretch for beginner but in a good way. The tempo is slow enough and note density low enough to make the string and fret adjustments and that movement can prepare you for more complex, higher tempo songs. Also, no shame in posting your LAS score instead of Score Attack. 

I will support the notion of David Bowie beeing a hard beginners choice. I'm almost there... but no cigar. 😛 I also think I would have chosen another fingering, but it's good for practice. 🙂

The two intermediate is also quite difficult, but in the different ways.

Nice song.

Better:

Nice!

@Rodman Well, here it is, I finally got my lead vocalist scheduled and recorded.  I'm getting better at recording usable takes, so I have two takes on guitar and panned one left and one right.  The drums are the original stripped from the song.  It wasn't as compelling to play as I thought it might be, but my daughter and I had a blast recording the vocals! 

The picture is one from my childhood photo albums.  It is an abandoned steam locomotive, and I think it was one that the cement plant my dad worked for used to haul rock from the quarry.  I'm asking some train enthusiasts about it to see if it still exists.  I'm pretty sure there were two that the company owned, and the other is at a train museum in Colorado.  I remember we got to climb on it and pretend to drive it, pretty cool for a six year old boy who loved trains!

 

FYI, I noticed Band on the Run (bass track) was giving me misses on the A string in the middle of nowhere - there were literally two notes *not being displayed at all*, somewhere in between the 1:25 and 1:35 marks. Hope that helps anyone else frustrated at being deprived a 100%

Still working on HEAT - Mannequin Show. Wow, I bomb out of Score Attack way too quickly! I'll need to spend a lot of time going over the first few sections. Anyway - do you folks keep a spreadsheet of all the songs that have been played in championships? I thought that would be a good way for me to pick out songs to try. Right now I just pick an artist, look for their DLC then look for their CDLC. 

I'm starting to get the rhythm of it. It's not much but I'm happy with the progress.

I did not think I'd make it through Score Attack at all on this try. I kept thinking for sure this is going to gong show me out of here!

Now to work on improving it. I can beat 91.49%! Well, I'm going to make some tacos. Then I can beat 91.49%! Or have tacos. One of the two, anyway.

I've got the beginners song to (some kind of) perfection... 🙂

But had no progress with the first intermediate. 😞 It's also a bit difficult in a few places.

Got some progress at the other intermediate though. It's also rather difficult, mostly because it's such a long song and very variating(?), but it's a great song.

I'm not that much in to everything here (yet), but I've noticed, that if you look at the "leaderboard" (there's a link in the first post of every weeks championship), then there's  sheet for every week (all 388), and the chosen songs are noted as well.

Got a few more points! A lower accuracy percentage, lower multiplier, an extra strike, but more points. Hopefully I can bring it up a bit tomorrow.
