-= Building a Guitar from Scratch with Absolutely No Woodworking Experience =-

Show must go on. This words from Queen's classic fits perfectly to the start of new Rocksmith Championship week. As you all know, @@Joey, the long time RC Organizer, stepped down from his role last week. For long time he was here, to give us this wonderfull oportunity to participate in championship. But that's hard work. Still he was doing all he could, combining that with work and family. But time, time is running away fast and @@Joey realized that. He no longer could sacrifice his personal life, not to this degree. He withdraw, but didn't left. He still will be part of this community and will be always welcome to post. Not only his scores but also warm words. As we all remember he was here to cheer and praise, taking pride from seeing us become better and better every week. I'm proud to write this words and to thank @@Joey for us all.
@@Joey thank you :)

 

I'm a little nervous as you all are in most cases older than me, better guitarists and overall more experience people. Nonetheless I want to give  you as good Championship as ever, so here we go.

Congrats to all the winners. It was nice competition this week, with lots of close scores, even though selected songs were not favorites for most. Like always hats down for scoring 100% on Ring of Fire's Bass line to @@mmrrss and @@firekorn. Going for perfect score takes a lot of concentration. Never forget about cool video by @ Miwa - ChAngE. Well done!

Hi there!What song do I chose? Since I'm not in the Championship class lists.

@@lordlk Whichever you want :) We're here to compete in fair environment, so it's up to you what class do you feel you are. If you choose wrong you will either level up or fall down :P

i use chair for play and stand for foot. Enough comfortable play all songs. Can so to play  more 5 hours in row.

@ that doesn't work for me, I even bought a stool thinking that I may just be like Robert Fripp and would only be happy with one but I still can't get comfortable. I can stand for hours on end though so I'm happy with that I guess.

.... piece by piece ...

...

 

the only way to exit ....

 

though i was getting a bit sloppy (see streak) ....

:D : first lifetime bass run (inspired by quite some beer ©)

 

...

cheers,

R.

This fucking chords bored my, very bad recognized RS. Play about 2 hours and have not improve, always random miss.

I think in the song by Blondie, in rhythm, 4 section RR,  chart with errors. There wrong notes is on 5th string (sound is crap), i look now different tabs, none of them contain there notes on 5 th string.

And seems is tabs more easy for play.

@@NoonyDeloony on this song I tested a thin glove in hand. Felt and looked silly but seems to help to hand cramps :D

Intermediate Lead - 85%, 59 streak

Well, another good day. I don't think I'll get close to 90%, but 87-88 should be possible.

 

I got better score on MasterClass bass, but worse %. I f*cked up the beginning, but later got really nice streak. Still, firekorn's score a little better :)

Been practicing my butt off! but i'm a little more happy with this score

I can't get far than 87%, damn it!

Also i got a cut in one of my fingers so is a little bit harder to play

A bit of improvement today.  Barred chords are becoming easier and easier to play and I even manage to hit the few odd chords in the middle.  :)
