INT RHYTHM

maybe ill give some of them a few more tries

a bit better

Have to agree with the post at the top . And coming from someone who has no problem with barre chords 

I put a spell on you is one hell of a workout. Should come with a health warning .lol

I got 89% but didnt have time to get a picture my hand was too numb .

@ kayteck - you and I are pretty close on CCR I Put a Spell on You! My middle son and grand-daughter are coming over after dinner, so I'm not sure. I might try a few more times after every one is off to bed. I'm not near competitive on beginner lead or intermediate bass - but I think you're ahead by a point or two on intermediate rhythm.

ummmmmm, don't improve your score on CCR. Leave it where it is. That would be fine. 🙂

 

And nobody else either, thank you. I'm not being sneaky or planning or anything like that.

 

 

Average not my kind of Jam

don't worry 😉 i gave up... however the reason is poor recognition... i don't know if this is because of small inaccuracies in my play or rocksmith fault. i just gave up as after 2 or 3 passes my hand was to painful... random misses just made me quit. i feel like playing whole song on 100% but rs2014 has different opinion 😉

I had a lot of trouble with RS014 recognizing my high E string in D Standard tuning and in other custom tuning. I'm playing a Gretsch Junior Jet I and my son swapped in a Lollar P90 in place of it's mini-humbucker (it sounds really nice through the amp). My son left his PRS SE for me to mess with. I had no trouble at all with RS2014 recognizing notes. The neck on the PRS seems a little wider, flatter and very quick action. Strings are close to the fretboard all the way up the neck. I had my Gretsch set up - but the difference in necks and playability is huge! I'm thinking of using the Junior Jet for rhythm, E Standard and Drop D songs - and the PRS for lead. It really did make a difference. Although I have to get through this song and improve my score, and since it's rhythm I'm sticking with the Jet.

What type guitar are you playing?

i have very entry level yamaha EG012, which is very easy to play, soft and smooth, and also Ibanez gio GRG 170DX, which require more accuracy, but sounds so much better ;)... both were giving me roughly the same % score...

Improvements:

As for the bass, I can't come close to the result I achieved on the first try. I achieve 98.8% back then, but that was learn a song, now it's hard for me to get over 98%. @ jellisjenius - your score over 99% seems unachievable for me, really great score!

 

I better post some stuff...

Ithought I had a better score...

I just wanted to say, enjoyed the songs this week but this song in particular stands out. It was number 1 on the billboard 100 here stateside when I was born. Cool to get around to playing it. 

Here's some scores, not easy at all......

I didn't....maybe someone else did previously.  No worries then.  I still get a "Something is missing" message when I click on the links, but the ones you just posted minutes ago are viewable.  Strange.

 

@ diceslinger  & all the Score masters..... good news.... i think i know how to insert a picture again 😅

i missed the next screen shot though 89% 😝

Two hour warning until the next week is posted!

Did a little better:

I was back down to 89/90/91 percent using my Junior Jet I. I put it on the stand and grabbed my oldest son's PRS. Score immediately hit 95.9%. If my son needs his guitar back, think I'll be looking for a replacement for my Junior Jet. The difference in playing is night and day. Although it could be in the setup.
