Hello, I'm new here. I started playing guitar 5 years ago with Rocksmith, and I’ve spent around 820 hours on it. I don’t think my level is very good yet, but I love playing, so that’s okay. I only play through Rocksmith, and I’m not able to play anything without it for now.

I want to improve, so I was wondering if I could record myself and post my best attempt at a song to get some advice or feedback to get better for the next week...

For this first post, I didn’t record myself because I still have to play all the songs. I didn’t try the Avenged Sevenfold song because I know it’s above my current level, and also because of the tuning.

Yay! more people :)
As someone who has close to 3k hours and still cant play by memory, my only tip is to play without rocksmith or probably mastery mode more often. Cause I didn't so you might end up like me, and thats not good.

I'm sure someone may comment to help you out with your technique if they know how to solve it.

I am not sure where to place you honestly. Do you want intermediate or to give @EmbraceTheAbsurd some competition? (if you submit a better score in the next hour you could choose next weeks begginer song)

I'm ok to start in the beginner level i'm gonna try to hit 100% on the next week song and try mastery mode because I never do that. I'm not gonna add new score for this week

@EmbraceTheAbsurd Looks like you got some competition for future weeks now :)

@Vodka looks like you might be the winner of intermediate class, what song do you want to pick for nextweek?

Oh well... I think that's an accident but ok. If I remember it right you asked to find something as fresh as we can but there aren't many songs on the list (or I'm just blind). Maybe we can squeeze 2024 into this narrow frames?

It doesnt have to be on the list, it can be any from ignition.
Yeah now that you mentioned it i thought you were A in both lead and rhythm but seems like only A in Rhythm bass and lead you are still intermediate? (ill look previous weeks to see what happened)
if linkin park is still the one you want for next weeks song ill put it np :)

That's very good tip. And I completely agree with @cacahuate51 . Without any practice and playing in wild world there will no any progress. I did 1.3k hours in RS2014 and I can't play anything at all. Absolutely. Not even one song. Not even one riff. Even Metallica's. So yes. Practicing practicing practicing

I was promoted in R a few weeks ago. L is still to high for me. And I was never promoted in B. But according to the LIST I'm in Int there too :)

I think LP might be good.

This week is over! thanks for participating
