maybe ill try 100% or closer later

I am curious what you and @JobwanMojo play since you guys get high scores consistantly. Make sure to leave them as suggestions especially if they are new cdlcs (usually made better) :

i did suggest a few a while back, love songs by Stevie Wonder, his bassist is amazing, vulfpeck and streetlight manifesto - also kind of modern walking bass or modern jazz lines, i think katamari on the swing and jump up superstar are my favourite tracks to play, both have been played before on rocksmith championship

Nice bass chart
really cool song not sure I've heard this before also so 90's skateboard. type song. Keeper

Had to double check I was not playing Bon Jovi .. Great song though

Cry for help - Shinedown
great fun song yet, another band I don't know of

damn forgot to screen shot . better have another go

score attack attempt

and noice

plus

I tried 😅

Worse score but better accuracy

I did just check everything including sync on my recent update of course, but if you can point out something specific that doesn't seem right to you, I'd be happy to check on it 🫡

Honestly the championship is pretty much my weekly long(ish) practice session, but outside of the championship I looooooooooove playing 70s prog the most, helps that its also the genre I know the most. Other than that I was in a Thrash/Death metal band for a few years and rehearsing with my bandmates really helped the most, even if I already knew how to play the bass well.

Rhythm

Improvements:

Extremely fun, could play the main bassline alllll day.

Oops forgot one

Another really great Linkin Park song
Never really listened too them before, apart from a couple of songs
