Rhythm

Ah, I haven't tested the Rhythm path here before and I didn't know that it's basically a vocal line, so it suits better to the Lead class and vice versa, because Lead is mainly chords.

I had some time today, so I played THIS. Probably the biggest non-stop marathon I've ever played in Rocksmith. My hands survived so I'm happy 😉

Some improvements

The solo part is hard for me. I'm not sure if I will able to SA it at all

Bass

I would give this more than 4, maybe 5.

8

Fast improvements, because I don't know if I'll have time this week.

It might be worth mentioning that there is another version of Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar here that is more up to date, charting and accuracy wise, and felt a lot smoother and intuitive to play. I felt like I was fighting the chart when I played along to the version that Rodman linked. Probably due to the chart being over a decade old and is a product of it's time. 

Thank you for the link @ Syvaa !

I used to love Panic! at the Disco back when I Write Sins Not Tragedies was big, music changed a lot over the years.

Tones are pretty awful and the lead is made really awkward by fingering and fret choice.
made me not enjoy metallica and for that I am sad

 

thx @ Syvaa !!

yeah - both versions are ok for that week, i like both, same diff (5)

 

 

 

i failed miserably, but cool song (2,5)

 

 

 

nice! had another chart of that one a long time ago - this weeks one is better (6.5-7)

 

 

 

Hello Everyone! 

Tried both beginner and intermediate songs this week! I will try also the rest if I find some time!
Best results so far. 

 

Missed a note one this for 100%

 

Love this one

 

I will try also the newer version for sure!

Now I hate this song. Random misses and non detected bends. And hard for me. I don't even want to try increase it.

i just can't play whiskey Lead...

i was playing main riff differently whole my life... impossible to switch.

And i can't play as always when I see fretboard showing something else... 

that is actually ridiculous 😄

 

 

It felt improvement, but the score isn't much different 🤣

My favorite to play from the bunch, need to get back into Opeth at some point its been a long time since I've listened to a ton of their stuff

Can't go wrong with any Rush! Went to one of their last shows as a first concert which was mindblowing to me.

oh fun song! missed me some Rocksmith need to get my chops back... was away from guitar and busy with masters competitive swimming ha.
