Diversions
I seem to have lots of diversions away from focussing on playing, this is probably because I have far too many interests (and need to work for a living).
Next month is NaNoWriMo, and I came up with an idea for a character and background plot for a story. I suspect that I will be just a little busy, as to be successful with the event I'd need to write 50,000 words over the month and would need to average 1600-2000 per day to achieve this.
I'll probably be talking about that more in one of my other blogs, rather than this one. My character quite possibly might be a guitarist and singer though.
Rocksmith
Today I played 20 songs taking just over an hour, and managed to improve on previous scores with 9 of the songs.I still have to qualify with When I'm with You by Best Coast, and need 31100 points to achieve this.
The Dawn of the Chorded game took a couple of attempts, scoring 27600 and 34200 neither good enough to get in the top ten list - although both attempts initially got me to #11, although obviously the second go pushed the other into twelfth place.
Vasoline threw some extra chords in, I'm not sure of exactly what they were but the last one looked something like Em7 (Bb)/Bb and I was a little bit flummoxed by the fingering postion to get the chord letters.
I Want Some More was also adding some extra chords, but I was too busy trying to get my fingers into the right shapes to recall exactly. I did not F# and C# but am probably wrong about those.
Surf Hell also threw some C chords into the play mix for me today too.
When I'm With You finished with a G today, but the finger shape didn't look exactly like the version of the chord I'd been playing with Play With Fire so I'm a little confused about that.
Although I was intending on spending some time this week practicing after work, I was out most evenings with other activities and didn't manage to find the time.
I got very little completed with getting the initial version of the RockTracker application.
