Am I allowed to resubmit? I can do it tonight after work if so

 

You can post your results as often as you like. It is no problem to post iterative improvements. Look how others do it, it is most entertaining if others can follow your development and you share  some of your thoughts about quality or difficulty of the song. I tend to post my first complete playthrough, my first Score-Attack and the best result at the end of the week (if time permitted me to improve on my first tries).

Awesome! Thanks so much!

Seems like everybody loves in flames, maybe I should give them another try... My favorite band from this week is definitely Haken. Also google won't let me download the RHCP and Mary Chain songs. Is it just me, or did their policy change or something? Turns out I can't even make an account without giving them my phone number.

Anyways, it's a busy week for me so no sight reads. I'm probably going to just post the mc scores on Saturday, but here's the only competitive one I got so far:
?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Bass Beginner. Acid rain  4  like this one first attempt

Second attempt improvement

Beginner bonus great begginer song 3

Improvements intermediate Bass

Better

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

And got it 

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Now i can tune the bass back up .lol

Sorry, I am not competing this week. Those chords are still to difficult for me to play (the only chords I know are e and e-minor😅...and I can tell powerchords by name at this point...🙃).

Im not going to rush into this stuff...prefer to take my time learning properly.

 

Have a nice week🤗

Bass advanced. 6. easy-ish once you learn the two patterns

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

2nd play

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

And 3rd

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Do you mean Lead or Rhythm beginner? Because it's really hard to find something easier than this week's Beginner Lead song, where most of the chart are simple power chords. In terms of Rhythm indeed, transitions between bar chords can be difficult for someone without practice. Still, I find you let it go too easily 🙂

Rhythm scores:

20211116195500-1.jpg

20211117211437-1.jpg

20211117214507-1.jpg

This chart is on a very similar level of difficulty as last week Scorpions song. Totally arpeggios chart. @ Rodman probably regrets that it is a master class this time 🙃

Bass:

20211116224106-1.jpg

20211120000815-1.jpg

20211101232250-1.jpg

I have a bit of a problem with that. Get too many misses on this repetitive riff 😕

20211121233338-1.jpg

Good song from interesting progresive metal band.

20211021233316-1.jpg

Playing this is a crazy roller coaster ride. Great chart showing Tony Levin is a real bass monster. I recommend everyone to try it!

20211119234219-1.jpg

First tries this week:

A7X has really grown on me over the years:

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Not a big IF fan, but this is solid and I will always be willing to play a chart from @ firekorn

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

I'm so close to mastering this one, no issues with the octaves but that 7-10 fret pinky stretch is not picking up consistently for me in RS:

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Haken has some good stuff but it's just a bit above my level. Nonintuitive rhythms but overall not too bad for a first run:

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Rocksmith also isn't overly concerned with how you play chords, from my experience anyways. If there's a charted D chord as long as you hit the open D string and the A on the G string it will normally be marked correctly and if you get a barre chord just hitting the power chord is normally enough, sometimes you might need to include the octave note in there too, but you can get around the more difficult chords/fingerings in this way. Sure, it's not perfect, you're technically messing up your technique to score better on a game, but we all take our own shortcuts when it comes to learning and playing instruments, and it's often better to just try to make a go at it and adjust what you need to make it work then wait for a time in the future when it will work perfectly. 

Works differently for everyone though, of course. I learn through mainly making a series of smaller and smaller mistakes, my brain does not let me start at level 1 and slowly increase difficulty, I always need to start where I have no idea what I'm doing and then figure it out from there. Helps in some ways, hurts in others, but it's how I've learned almost everything I know about anything. When I started actually trying to learn how to play bass I just listened to a few songs that had grooves I liked and I started working on them, they were all outside my skill level (Suspicious Minds by Elvis, I Want You Back by Jackson 5, Only the Good Die Young by Billy Joel, and Maybe Tomorrow by The Stereophonics were the songs that I cut my teeth on) but after a few weeks I could handle them pretty well.

Rhythm Beginner  Happy when It Rains .2 if you can Barre 

Attempt 1,2,3

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

There is something definitely off with the timing on this song. It seems to start off strumming on the beat, and then switches to off beat some way through ??

Hello guys, after a long absence I finally got a new guitar and have time to participate again 😄

 

My only worry is meanwhile I moved to Germany which is very and I mean very strict on piracy, so are any of you guys from here and have any info whether it's okay to Download CDLC or not. 

 

Also I guess I should downrank to advanced this week?
