Yes, I did it manually 🙄

I don't have time to describe these songs like last time. So, I'll just briefly mention that I added a few bonus paths, because songs aren't generally long this week. This adds some variety in terms of tuning as well.

I noticed last week when @behemoth8888 was mentioning bands whose songs he'd like to play, and System of a Down was there. I don't remember the last time we played a song from them (so it was a long time ago), but I remembered that I once added to the suggestion list my CDLC of their song "Lonely Day". So I can say it's our shared choice 😄

Have a good week everyone!

seems like mikson has fallen to the bonus side

Thanks for week :)
scores:

this one i think might be harder than AA but maybe its cause the arps dont have handshapes and cause i havent played it before

neat song but i think fhps might need some work or atleast it looked harder to read than i think it should be

miley.. not that bad, good beg track (2)

ha... sweet youth memories, gotta love that one (8)

yeah... that rhythm is tricky and fast (8.5) for both is very ok

not so excellent. no. rather did really bad (5.5)

hah... from one personal album of the year of mine, great song.... arrrrrrpeggio, not hard one... for me it is.

(7) the solo is way fast, for me personally the arp make its 9

neighbor of the beast

did you know..... if an event is likely to happen with a likelyhood of 1/365 (so let´s say once a year) you will have to wait for 2500 days to have it happen by 99.9%, within the first year you get 63% that it happens

... same goes for rolling a dice. If you need a specific # (say you like to throw a single 6) how often do you think you gotta throw to get it with 99.9% probability?

freaking 38 times!

and you need 25 throws for 99% and 29 for 99.5

chances for me to get a 90 here today, i´ve had at uncalculably low....

happy

let´s say at least i got a score

Have a nice musweek everyone! Thanks for hosting @Mikson !

Fun. - We Are Young (ft. Janelle Monáe)

Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky

"GoOoOoOodbyeEeEee..." 🎶🎸 my hands are too sloOoOoOow for this sooOooOong 🎶🤣🤷‍♂️ jk I'll keep trying for sure 😅 It seems like a fun song to play really, I just need one of you to loan me your hands 😂🤣

Lead

rhythm

Bass

Btw thanks a lot for picking SOAD and thanks for creating the cdlc too @Mikson !! 😁 I’m glad we share the same taste in music. even tho I’m not an advanced player yet, I’ve always wanted to learn this one, so I’ll spend the week giving it my best, along with the broadway song. They’re both great! even if it sounds a bit rough at first played by my hands 🤣 I’ll try to do my best with these slow hands i have 😁🤣😅

Hey everyone! Week 655 is my week, that's the number in my screen name jimmy655. It's the street number of the house where I grew up in Los Angeles way back. It looks like this now after the 2025 fires - glad we sold it years earlier:

The house used to be a bit nicer, but the views are still killer. Anyway, enough sentimentality.

The next one is actually B standard, and not great at registering the low string on my tuned down 4 string:

Forgot to screen shot the Metallica song...

Thanks for the week @Mikson ! I think SOAD was one of the first that I played in Rocksmith

Bass

The Miley Cyrus song is B std on Bass

Switching to 5 strings

It's a beautiful place to live! 😍 I'm just afraid it would be too hot for me sometimes 😄

Sorry my mistake! As I mentioned, I created post with the selection manually and forgot to add info that we were playing the Alternative Bass path, which is in E Standard. Score recognition and leaderboard are set correctly for the Alt Bass path. I already added information in the first post.

I think I could do better on “Lonely Day”; the arpeggios are getting smoother and smoother.

The alternate base (E standard) is a bit easier to play, but the B standard sounds a bit better.

That last bit got me, hard to keep up the concentration...

Thanks for the new week!

I recently bought a new gaming laptop and switched it to Linux, so I'm spending a lot of time finding new things to break and fix. But luckily I've got Rocksmith up and running:

5 string version, not gonna miss an opportunity to use it:

Edit: oh bugger, I forgot to play Metallica. Maybe later in the week.
