capo on rhythm mc? really?

Bass sight-reads:

The song is too quiet. (2)

(4)

(6)

6.5, half a point for the bends.

6 or 7, definitely not 9

Few random misses on the harmonics. Probably have to 100% this for the highscore off later.


Can't sightread arpeggios

I cant see to get the Placebo song to appear on my rocksmith after I place it into my DLC folder. Any ideas why?

No idea. Have you seen this:

 

I missed a note in the last efin riff.

Finally gave gob a go.

What's so strange about that? How is class related to the use of capo? Forgive me for such questions, but I really don't understand this post. Somehow I don't feel like believing that you don't have a capo? 🙂

Lead scores:

This is 2-2.5 max I think

One of the covers of the music world that has become a classic as popular (or more) than the original.

Not known before, nice to play, but chart is typically rhythmic.

I can't believe it's that old anymore...

Yea, I've got one somewhere, but using it goes against my religious beliefs ;). Only mentioned the class to point to specific song. Not much to understand here, I was just surprised, that's all.

Fun take on this song:

Most enjoyable bass part this week IMO, would have preferred this as the advanced song even though it's really high intermediate:

I enjoy listening to early Santana but the bass parts are just not that fun/interesting to learn and very repetitive. No issue with the bend except that it's repeated a bajillion times and my hand just starts tapping out. Meh.

As previously mentioned, this is nowhere near a 9 difficulty but it's harder than you'd think from listening to the song casually:

 

I agree on the Hotel California bass being more like a 7, but as it is a song from the past I gather the preference is to not change the rating.

Because why not?

Hi everyone!  👋

1st time posting, discovered this championship forum last weekend and love the idea so I thought I'd join! I'm a Lead Guitar beginner, started rocksmith in march 21 (knew some open chords before that so not completely starting from zero...) 

I think the only thing I have to do is to actually post the images but apologies if I've missed something in the rules! 

(that tone was painful... couldn't figure out a good custom one)

 

 

 

 

 

The bonus songs at the end remind me of buying counterfeit CDs in the 90s. If there was space left, the guy burning the disc would always add bonus songs. I guess it was the only way to find some market advantage.

Welcome,
you're right that the only thing you need to do is to post the image. Particularly an image with the accuracy score. So sadly the first image you posted does not count. The second one is a-ok tho and is the best score in intermediate so far. Congratulations!

Make sure to take a screenshot right after the song ends, in 'learn a song' the score disappears after a couple of seconds.
