Let us know your opinions on the accuracy of the difficulty scores (1-10) for this weeks songs.

 

Phew! I had nearly no time to practice this week so I'm really satisfied with the score.

Also, great song!

 

Another great week!! Here are my class entries,

 

Ahh it was hard but I made it...

on my way too, hopefully 😅

I was expecting you to come at night (in my time) and beat me even on all paths 😅

I wonder if you are practicing a lot outside of Rocksmith as I see a lot of improvement in your results lately? And playing November Rain without a strike was a really good attempt, I tried it once and was eliminated in the final solo. So congrats on great scores!

I will try to improve the Bass today, maybe I can achieve 99% too 🙂

Yeah, sorry, I would rather not post at the last minute.  I used to play the contest songs every day and posted every improvement.  Life has been a roller coaster for the last few weeks/months/years so I'm not playing every day like I used to.  I'm still trying to get my dad's estate closed up.  I'm almost there, but all the nastiness is coming out since we are at the end.  I just want to be done with it.

I'd like to get back to posting throughout the week.  It leads to better battles, and I think all of us in the advanced class would benefit from the push of competition.  I feel like I'm stagnating, so refocusing would help.  Hopefully things calm down over the next few months and I can get back to the real important things in life, like playing guitar 🙂

lol plat run, yet...not there

Hi All

It was another great week in terms of songs.

Here are my results:

Inter lead: 

Inter Rhythm: 

For some reason, this rhythm didn't want to work for me. 😔

Br. Balage

Trying to win, but just got back last night. I think I could have taken the crown if I had all this past week to really work it. Unfortunately I just have today and my fingers are getting shredded 😭

Thank you for the kind words @ Rodman  and thanks to the championship for forcing me to improve and picking some stellar tracks this week even though I may not have had a chance to immerse myself in them as much as I would like 🙂 (I'll probably still be playing this one next week, just too good).

Also I completely missed It Never Rains in Southern California! Great song.

Giving the intermediate a shot

Hey, sorry for the zero notice, but I'll be posting the new week in just a few minutes so any scores posted after this won't be included in determining top scores.

oops nearly forgot to click Submit

 

 

New week is up

 

Lol, I'm late again.  Had this one done but forgot to post:

Goddamnit, i set two alarms and everything.... sigh. Masterclass for bass. Hopefully didnt miss it. 

First song playing fingerstyle in over 6 months post-injury! Feels good to have that splint off. 

 

 

 

 

does this count wrong thread .lol

 

 

 

dammit, wrong week 😄
