-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

Welcome to the CF Rocksmith 2014 Championship!

-= Week =-

Oh ….

500 weeks. No idea what to say…

But i don´t think there is anything to say – except….

You made us a hell of a week guys!!! Thx!

Only players´ favorites that week, and hell do we have a bunch of bangers there. I really recommend everyone to play all songs (except maybe bass mc 😉 , what a toughie). Also we are not doing without some Maiden and some Tallica, unplayed song and album.

Just have a hell of a week!!!!!

Thx!

Rod.

Not too hard, but bad recognition...

I didn't know that Metallica song. Not a very difficult chart, only the final part is tricky.

Not my playing style.

Fun challenge - I had tried this once before and the speed tripped me up...this time I was (more) ready:

You did 40 minutes of playing (including solos) and got 99,69%!! Maybe sightreading the most!

Man that's insane. I thought Halsb was the Rocksmith king, but probably I was wrong!!!

For my scores.. Rush was like 70% so I didn't even uploaded, that's a difficult song and a more difficult sightreading, but I will get better

And I love (and proposed) this one (which I need to re-study, the solo is pretty difficult imho)
I don't remember the week but that was a close race and intense battle, near 100%

Also, Kreator seems promising but I didn't had the time to try it

Special week, a lot of great tunes to play!


 

halsb still whoops my ass tbh lol, i have so many 2nd places on leaderboards for odlcs cause of him 

🤟🎸🎶🌏🥳 HAPPY WEEK 500 from Tokyo! 🤟🎸🎶🌏🥳

OK, so here we go!

👇I like the fact I am playing a song from Poland that otherwise, I would never know.  I wonder what is the song about... 

👇 My daughter really likes this song and is singing it out loud all the time in the house! 😅

She is very excited it was chosen for the Championship in the week 500. Let me know if you liked it!

I managed to bump up my score a bit for this song.

Bass it up!

I'm away from my computer.  Can someone please post the latest loss of one of our giants?  This one is huge.

 

No help!  Does nobody read the news?!?  FFS! Her husband recorded what has been cited at the FIRST R&R single with Rocket 88.  (BTW, How is this not a CDLC?)

Her solo catalogue overshadows anything else that he did, or that they did together. 

To paraphrase a line from the show Roadies, "If you are going to stand on the shoulders of giants, you should at least know who they are".
