No Dischord

Today I played 19 songs with around half an hour of playing time.

Out of the ten practice songs I played, I managed to beat the previous high score on half of them (although only slightly for some of them).

More of the songs are throwing chords at me, so I need to spend more time on practicing switching between chords. The Dawn of the Chorded game just might be a way to help with that.

I managed to qualify for all bar one of the songs for The Palace Hall event that I unlocked yesterday, the one I'm not close enough with is A More Perfect Union.

Unlocks

I unlocked Harmonics today with a score of 2,773,329 RSP.

No Discord Trophy

When I played Sunshine of Your Love I unlocked the No Discord trophy, an achievement you get by beating a 25 chord streak.

Time to code

Unless I can be persuaded to go out, I'm going to spend some time today working on my Rocktrack app. I'm still trying to work out the best way to store the songs, as many of them have multiple versions.

I've also recently bought the Rocksmith 2014 edition, so will need to have a look at how that differs to include the songs and progress with that. I did note that it is possible to have the scores automatically uploaded to the Ubisoft site

Playlist

Surf Hell by Little Barrie: Scored 31786.
Boys Don't Cry by The Cure: Beaten previous high score of 35748 with 37900. I noticed a few extra chords this time round, C#m and Bm I think they were.
Unnatural Selection by Muse: Beaten previous high score of 27068 with 28183. I picked up a slide, but lost it again part way through the song, so I suspect that will be the next bit I need to get sorted for this song.
Where is My Mind? by Pixies: Beaten previous high score of 58887 with 59973.
Well OK Honey by Jenny O: Scored 33240.
Me and the Bean by Spoon: Scored 47582.
Play with Fire by The Rolling Stones: Beaten previous high score of 30940 with 31164.
Song 2 by Blur: Scored 72931.
When I'm with You by Best Coast: Scored 29440. I got a different version of the G chord I'd seen on other songs involving a barre on the third fret. I resorted to the chord practice option to try to get the shape right.
Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand: Beaten previous high score of 23768 with 24640.

Palace Hall

I managed to qualify with five of the six songs first time through, so I'm feeling fairly pleased about that.

I Miss You by Incubus: Qualified with 14345.
Mean Bitch by Taddy Porter: Qualified with 27556.
Sunshine of Your Love by Cream: Qualified with 21874.
A More Perfect Union by Titus Andronicus: I had three attempts at this, getting 23221, 25529 and 25929 points before I stopped playing. The qualifier is 28800, so I still have a ways to go.
Rebel Rebel by David Bowie: Qualified with 24153.
High and Dry by Radiohead: Qualified with 27202.
