Getting there...

Really good score, it will be a challenge for me to beat it!

for me a tad easier than normal Rhy (6)

 

 

 

better

 

 

 

@ Rodman  You probably didn't take that into account and played the chords normally and Rocksmith passed it.
How can a normal rhythm be more difficult when it contains basic chords?

On the bonus rhythm path you must use your thumb for the E string, so in theory it's harder, but if you play it normally Rosksmith can pass anyway, so it's hard to say if bonus is harder to get a better score

I tried Coldplay one more time on guitar.

I think rhythm can be the same for both classes - no matter if we play normal or bonus, the score will apply to both classes. But I don't know if it will make it easier or harder for OCR recognition?

 

 

well charted, nice to play!

Nononono!

Let´s leave it as it is!!!! One path shall contain one arrangement! They are not the same.

Beginner and intermediate songs on bass pointed out some of my flaws. Good to be reminded and have them in front of me to work on. Not sure if I'll be able to improve this, I'll give it another go tomorrow and see.

 

This should be all I need to enter correct? If not let me know what else I need to do.

can't believe i've done it...

don't think i can do any better....

 

slight improvement

Bass 

Haven't started working on the solo yet and I need to put more time into arpeggios, but I was able to pass it 🥳

Inter rhythm  few tricky chord but nice and short. worthy  5

Bonus rhythm maybe a little easier than the one above ??

 

 nice to play beg lead

Inter lead improvement 

how does player level work i wanna raise mine lol

Big improvement.

I forgot all about this song thanks mikson for the nostalgia songs



yea the one with the embeleshments is harder

always nice to see blink

yea pretty neat


never heard of Haken before but after this song i think im gonna look into their stuff! I havent gotten goosebumps from listening to music in a while and this one did it for me. totally butchered playing it but it was fun.

And this isn't even the best song on the album.

First time playing the bass in a long time.  My plucking fingers starting to hurt after just these 3 songs. I need to thoughen them up.

Improvement.

Good question for @ Rodman , because I think he created this system?

The general idea is described here: 

 

Wow! I am a mediocre player, so this was a  very tough challenge and a big achievement for me!

I think these were the four minutes I have been the most concentrated in my whole life! LOL
