A lovely spring morning, so what did I do?

As it's such a lovely spring morning I thought that I'd take advantage and sit indoors and play the guitar. And this afternoon I'm sitting drinking coffee and we're planning on going to the pictures.

Total playing time today around 2 hours 30, but this does include the time on Rocksmith loading the game (and checking tuning each song) and getting the acoustic ready for dual player mode.

I'm planning on getting some tab notation paper and transcribing the songs and putting them into a book so I can practice without needing the game running. I'd also be able to use them to help me to play in master mode. Cheating? Possibly, but does it really matter?

I'm changing the way my spreadsheet tracks songs, it now flags songs that are at over 100,000 points, the songs in the current set and also songs with the lowest score, streak or percentage right.

The scoring system has also been adjusted to put the lowest scoring song in the current set to be first to be played. My intention is to use the riff repeater to get a section on that song improved to help push that songs scores up.

On the original Rocksmith I played 10 songs for around 42 minutes, and also spent ninety minutes or so on the Rocksmith 2014 game playing dual player mode with James.

The Riff Repeater Leveller mode was used on the intro to Dan Auerbach's I Want Some More getting me from 85% of the notes to 95%. This level is very challenging for me at the moment, and I am really struggling to get enough notes to actually complete the section.

I've played for a total of 91 hours 55 minutes with only 9908 hours 4 minutes to go until I hit 10,000 hours: the point where you are supposed to have mastered an activity. This total doesn't include time spent on Rocksmith 2014.

Rocksmith 2014

Played in multi-player mode with James taking rhythm and myself on lead (this is James preference at the moment - I haven't told him that sometimes the lead seems easier to play).

We didn't note the list of songs, but should for next time.
