4617486 - Some surprising improvements

On the original Rocksmith I played 12 songs for around 49 minutes and played some of the Guitarcade games.

California Brain is causing me the most problems with the current set I am playing.

Guitarcade

I managed to get onto the leader board of Ducks at #7 with 253800 points, and #7 on Super Ducks scoring 203000.

I did score 191710 on Scale Runner and 74200 on Dawn of the Chorded, but didn't get onto the leader board with either of these.

Closer to broadcasting on youtube

On the original Rocksmith I played 6 songs for around 24 minutes, just a short session for a Saturday 'cos I spent most of the morning reading in bed.

More songs planned to be practiced for tomorrow, and am coming closer to working out how to get a recording and upload to youtube. Be afraid.

4606037 points after playing a "live" set

On the original Rocksmith I played 9 songs for around 41 minutes and completed the set with a single encore of Me and the Bean by Spoon. Just a quick session, as I'm planning on heading out to take photographs of boats this afternoon.

The next set is all songs that I've played before, California Brain, Jules and Go With The Flow.

4313805 points

On the original Rocksmith I played 11 songs for around 48 minutes. Total score now 4,313,805 RSP.

I'm still slowly making improvements with these songs, but aren't quite at the level I want to be before attempting the next set (at the minute it's House of the Rising Sun that is stopping me, I'm happy with the other songs at the moment).

I didn't practice this morning, as I needed to take the car in to get some work done (although instead of sitting in 'spoons all morning I could have went home and practiced).

First day of spring

On the original Rocksmith I played 8 songs for around 35 minutes. Happy enough with tonights performance but not quite reached the targets I've set myself for the performance.

Apparently today was the first day of spring. I could tell: it was raining.

Not as much improvement as I had hoped

On the original Rocksmith I played 9 songs for around 40 minutes taking around an hour wallclock time - mostly spent waiting for the scores to save and next song to load.

I did see a comment on a youtube video that suggests loading the game to the hard disk, I should make the effort to find out how to do this (if it is indeed possible!)

Second attempt at posting

On the original Rocksmith I played 9 songs for around 42 minutes. Very pleased with the improvements on both Good Enough and House of the Rising Sun.

I still haven't reached what I consider adequate scores to attempt the performance, but am slowly improving.

Second attempt at uploading this blog entry, the first one supposedly loaded, but wasn't available once I had went back to the main page. Odd indeed.

Improved with Next Girl

On the original Rocksmith I played 9 songs for around 41 minutes.

Very happy with todays playing, apart from Good Enough - I dropped below the qualifier score so need to put extra effort into getting this one sorted before attempting the gig.

Qualified with the last two songs on this set

On the original Rocksmith I played 12 songs for around 50 minutes.

I've also qualified for the other two songs on the set, and unlocked the Coy Koi Authentic Tone. I really must make some effort to investigate these tones and amp options.

I'm not good enough with all of the songs on this set to have a try at the main set, House of the Rising Sun is the main song letting me down at the moment.
