Post Pirate Blues

This weekend I was at Whitby for the Whitby International Pirate Festival, listened to some really good music and spent a day dressed as a pirate. I also got to indulge another hobby, taking photographs some of which you can see here.

I'd taken the day off to recover, although I didn't really need it and apart from spending the morning coding, I have had another session with the guitar today, about 46 minutes actual playing but I can't recall what time I started (the PS takes a while to switch between songs).

I've also done a bit of reading about how to get good scores, and discovered that there are six tracks that are bonus content that are earned by getting a double encore. I've already unlocked Jules by Seth Chapla, but didn't quite know how.

To get a double encore, you need to get over 90% note accuracy in an encore. I played (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction at the Low Down to gain this - I suspect this was before I had gained some additional notes, as I was nowhere near 90% the last time I played.

Today I played


Outshined by Soundgarden. Todays score was 34738. My previous best score was 24728, so I'm rather pleased with this effort.

Surf Hell by Little Barrie. Todays score was 22158. I am close to getting a more complex chord to play, but every time I get to the right point it is removed from the screen - probably because I'm distracted by the new pattern and lose focus on what I'm supposed to be playing now, not in five seconds time.

I Can't Hear You by The Dead Weather. Todays score was 25706. Not much to say about this one, I did ok, but not as good as my previous best score.

Use Somebody by Kings of Leon. Todays score was 15831. Nowhere near my best of 34757, but this is because I messed up and lost the chords that give the higher scores. The three main ones I am trying to get my fingers around are A5, F5 and C5. Thankfully they are all the same shape, it's just getting them onto the correct fret to start with.

Vasoline by Stone Temple Pilots. Todays score was 62001. My previous best score was 55595. Rather pleased with this attempt too.

Where is My Mind? by Pixies. Todays score was 38490. Two attempts at this, the first towards the end I couldn't understand why I wasn't earning any score. I knew I was hitting the notes right, and I had somehow managed to drop the volume on the guitar about half way through the song...

Number Thirteen by Red Fang. Todays score was 27531. My previous best score was 20784. I'm more than a little pleased with this attempt, especially as it is for my current 'gig'.

Unnatural Selection by Muse. Todays score was 20143. Slowly trying to get my score back to my previous best, but it's taking time.
