If someone can record themselves playing this on bass and getting above 95% i will be genuinely impressed haha

 

yoo! what a good unexepected surprise to see you here participating 🙂 I have placed you in masterclass category since I know you are a better bass player than me (kinda odd since im almost certain you have participated before but owell) . I will get your scores to count for this time but in the future if you do post more scores try posting with a "streak count" as that is one of the things that determines the winner.

Yea some of those sections are crazy. I do feel like they couldve been charted easier, regardless the speed in it is still pretty intense. I wonder if @ pedropmf can pull it off 

bass playthroughs:

feels good - Its a good song and tab.  I know im usually against capo weeks but i think 80 ish weeks is ok? thats a bit over a year / (we have more new players but ill try to not recommend capo) also it was a last minute pick. Surprised it was rated a 3 ...i have a feeling its cause the slides were pitched before but i would have to go to the week to confirm. Seems pretty easy like a 2 for me but i kept it what it was rated before


Nirv- I moved this to a 4 cause alll the slides make it a bit tricky but originally had it as a 3

its v6 cause i was struggling to make the drop d tuning i thought cfsm did it automatically? so i had to put a pitch tone and yea.. I recommend just playing the real version if you can ngl. But if you want to play the pitched version its in the 1st post bellow the main post.


freya- might have overrated this one tbh..can see an intermediate playing it

not too sure why this was rated a 9 in bass in week 237.Im guessing cause back then there wasnt much love for bass and now it seems like theres lots of bass charts. I placed it  at 7 (might be still too high imo) cause even though some sections are not economical (spoke with firekorn thats how they play it so thats why he tabbed it that way) its not the hardest riff.

i goofed up here, this one is actually not that hard only the intro is. Meant the impulse to be gog for bass atleast.  

yea harder.

By the way the Nirvana link in bass section is pointing to Slipknot. But I think everyone alreay has the cdlc, so not a problem 🤣

Pretty sure the Lead and Rhythm are the exact same tracks on this. 

 

doesnt matter if it was a £100 or £1000 guitar (currently playing the Andertons Eastcoast £120 guitar atm bahahaha), never lower than eb without tuning/stability issues, if its not set up right its not set up right...

hated playing any song below eb before i got the drop pedal, only thing is you have to play loud enough to not hear yourself doubled out of key... and god forbid anyone hear you try and sing along while dropped in the headphones but acoustically still in e

So, it was my dualsense making my game crash, disconnected it and now the game is working again. This game freaks me out sometimes.

This is annoying - only thing is you have to play loud enough to not hear yourself doubled out of key...

but the drop pedal is a life saver on different song tunings.  
 

 

Striked out on Schism  -  Knew it was gonna happen 

Smells like I don't know what I'm doing with this one lol

 

 

So new week, i think everybody knows at least 75% of the songs, should be kinda easier for everyone.

This song was the beginning of the end for the indie kids, and it was 13 years ago, holy... 

My SG is too stiff to play those riffs, will try later with my strat, the hybrid strings are no good for those power chords in standard tuning lmao

Same score as i did before, i'm kinda lazy but will try to improve 

Yeah, Tool is my favourite band, Schism one of my favourite songs, i had played it a lot of times before but this was my PB, very happy with it!

Kinda sucking in some parts, the "solo" doesn't make sense for me, but i only played it once.

Good week everyone!

Yep it might be the same. That's why I had it alternating between freya and tool so that you wouldnt "have to" play the same thing twice. 
thanks @ craxed and @ shaggy_malagy  for letting me know you have drop pedals. I'll also still take it into consideration that you have issues lower than eb without it. I know my brother has a guitar that never stays in tune regardless of tunning and he had another with a floyd pickup which was a pain to tune lol.

I got a low 90s on smells so i feel you lol. It is an unfair song for the championship. I just picked it cause its used to be the first song a band would learn but shouldve just picked a blink song.

I have a feeling you might hate r u mine now.
Just a tip for this song and for future songs:

Play score mode. The standard mode we don't take consideration the decimal points but we do with score attack as its more accurate. On top of that in score mode you will notice where you goof up. If it were'nt for score mode i would have never noticed the slide to 14 has a bend when you reach to 14. So another tip would be slide past 14 if you want to cheese it lol. hard parts imo are the "solo" , a part in the end and yea the slides to 14 with bends so i would rr it.

I used to also just restart the song as soon as i goofed up on score attack cause i was going for the 100... that might be usefull for when you mess up early so you dont have to play the whole thing again. 
----

The lead path is exactly the same as the rhythm and which is why initially i didnt add it.
Would you and other begginers rather just play the rhythm for Feel Good  or should we leave as is? also curious @ Willyam

Thanks for the tips, I usually do Learn a Song so I can hop on Riff Repeater faster but that’s fair points

Have yet to see @ Willyam  post over on the Rhythm green but up to him if he wants to dip his toes

 

+10% difference between freya detune vs drop pedal... if you like low tunings i really really recommend it as value for money vs multiple guitars for each tuning

One of my favorite weeks yet












Always loved playing this one on Clone Hero. Huge doozy on bass, really happy with the score but was surprised I didn't get a strike in the middle part


Song isnt too bad after the intro thankfully, extremely fun to play too

 

Looking forward to trying the Drop D version, this one was buzzing like a bumblebee... 

Not sure why the low tuning on this one didn't seem to be as buzzy, maybe there are fewer fretted notes on the low string... 

The Drop D version was way more playable for me, really fun song in fact.. 

I never actually played this Nirvana tune before.  I kinda resented grunge for killing the awesome Los Angeles hair metal scene - I was an LA kid at that time (and I was a  bit bummed recently that my childhood home burned to the ground in the recent fires, although my family had sold it a long time ago)

Is anyone using a setup to split your guitar/bass out to rocksmith(Mac) and to an Amp?

 

I bought

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3ZBHR5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BARTW42?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title (to kill the hum).  

It seems to work OK, but rocksmith sometimes struggles to pick up open notes with this setup.  I am wondering if there is a better setup for this.

Absolutely!

That´s my setup:

 

The signal goes to the PC directly from first splitter (Bigshot) so no issues at all with recognition

I can always hardrecord dry and amped signal with my Zoom R24 that´s why the signal is divided again.
By going with the amp signal through the PC i have the chance to record anything on pc, but that is less important than i have the amp signal perfectly mixed in when playing RS!! I have the Zoom as hardwaremixer - so i can alter the volume of the guitar input right away and i use my Marantz AVR to alter the overall volume.

If you need any advice (also killing any delay) - just shout.

Rod.

 

Ah... i forgot - i might have updated my guitarAmp to a Line6 Helix LT that xmas

..... which also makes the bass amp obsolete (which i didn´t test so far)

This is great!!  You gave me some ideas to swap things around a little.   Thanks for the detail!!  Love Everything line 6!  Currently Running a HX effects with a Mesa Boogie Triple Crown, but sometimes use my Helix and when I play live I usually use a Pod Go.
