Lead improvements

Because I didn't want to be the last.

0.1% to 90 is always frustrating.

Yes so duel accepted ('ve seen you 97% relaunch). I also think it helps a lot with pushing our limits

I think for the moment @Bottledpat12 is on another level. But not unreachable ahaha

So to fuel the duel.. I've got just as little as needed to beat your last score 😁

Nice one.

Nice job 👏, tomorrow I'll put some more tries to see if I can beat it

 

in the meantime, loved 30/90 and the movie too

Rhythm update:

It's hard to improve more, Rocksmith is having problems with recognizing F chord here. Most often when a chord is changed.

Here too, unfortunately, I lose a lot of accuracy on quick chord changes.

Finally! Great chart, won't let you get bored throughout the album. I remember when we played the song 'Wishing Well' in the championship about a year ago and I had problems with it, now I felt that I did much better, which is good because it means progress.

Wow... what a week...

Respect for songs choice...

Beg Lead..

Int Rhythm... surprisingly, this seems to be more difficult for me than Adv, as more random hits and rhythm is not so obvious with few chord changes it is more than 6 in my opinion... As always.. chord recognition issues, thus the low score.

Int Bass... This one is a masterpiece... love TD.

 

Master Rhythm... this is genius.... if not arpeggio section in the middle of the song the score could be much better...

 

Adv Rhythm... this seems to be easier for me than Int Rhythm, like 5 or so... It has less chord changes, slower, etc... more controlled play 😉

However in both i am getting chord recognition issues, so hit & miss score... in both around 90% every time, despite a feeling i am playing everything much better...

 

 

Beg Bass..,

Beg Bonus Bass

love the theme @Mikson!!!

and one of my personal favourite bands is Tenacious D.. so... great choice....

Hah, brother!

do yaself a favor and download @fripponomics version of Beelzeboss and Rize of the Fenix then you buy the ODLC of Tribute.

And when you have played those - please report back ;)

bad week with no tome, now also a very very very sad week for me.
Sightread on lead (6)

 

so many recognition issues for whatever reason (5.5)

 

phhhh (7)

 

 

also with another guitar, cannot make that recognize well

Thanks for the suggestion!

I have the ODLC, and I played Tribute and The Metal a couple of times 😛

 

plus like 15 times of score attack

I will surely look into these CDLCs!

My personal opinion: rarely Rocksmith has issues on recognizing chords, but I've experienced the same on chord changes some time ago.
Looking into that, I was the problem, because even if my right hand was strumming properly and in time, I moved my hand just on the last strum of the chord and not after, essentially doing a semimuted transition. It's a "bad habit", but not so important outside Rocksmith, because it goes pretty unnoticed when you play live.
But if you slow down the part you will see that there are no problem on recognizing that chords.

Int rhythm. I think 5 is fine, but can be daunting at first for the strumming and quick changes, so my advice is slow down and repeat

missed 2 notes

 

 

@nlbsmglskthis is the best I can do, after 5 or 6 tries, so I'll stop there

to reach 99% I need like 10 or 20 more tries, to consolidate

100% is out of scope because in the final part of the solo I'm not in control (I need to be lucky :D)

Lead (Int) - 79/9%

Bass (MC) - 89.7%

Last improvements:

@avastreg I don't understand why there are sometimes these recognition problems. In this case, it was enough to change the guitar and the recognition became better.

I will say some obvious things: Calibration was ok? on both are you using bridge pickup?

I have 3 guitars (all humbuckers) and I don't have issues on detection (or maybe sometimes I have the impression, but then I slow down the song to check and everything is fine)

Well, since creating the new week fell on me, I could delay posting and probably grind it out to 99%, but it doesn't seem fair. So I guess you win! Let's do it again next week.

I will however post this last bass score:

 

Also, I'll post the new week in about ~2 hrs, so if anybody feels like getting that last .01% feel free.

I'm just realizing I never posted scores this week. I'm not winning anything, but hopefully I can still squeeze my scores in for the week.

I was just about to press the post button on the new thread, so your timing is impeccable.

New week is up.
