A Rocksmith National Headliner

Today I played 10 songs for around 37 minutes on the original Rocksmith, and played on Rocksmith 2014 for about half an hour.

Orginal Rocksmith

I have achieved National Headliner with 3,501,448 Rocksmith Points. I still can't see anybody actually wanting to hear me play, although I am getting to the point where I might be able to play a song through without needing the notes on screen.

The three songs that are on the active set list are slowly improving, although I still haven't achieved the qualifier for two of them.

I really need to organise my spreadsheets to make this much easier for me to update and capture, and I am edging towards a database solution (which means learning to use LibreOffice Base) although some time thinking about how to complete the web site would be better.

Lessons

Shifting 101 shows you how to move around the fretboard, and I achieved 95.2%.

Sustains 101 is about playing a note and letting it ring out, I got full marks for this one. Well chuffed with that.

Songs

I played four songs on this version of the game.

Now by Paramore I got 9.9% of the song right

R U Mine by the Arctic Monkeys got 20.2%.

The Spirit of Radio by Rush I earned 17.5%, and made an attempt at the riff repeater but got frustrated as it kept adding more and more notes into what I was supposed to be playing.

You Really Got Me by The Kinks I scored 11.5%.

I need to work out an easy way of tracking progress with this version of the game, the scoring is substantially different to the original version of the game.
