An early start

I was happy with my efforts today, especially with House of the Rising Sun - I improved my score by over 30%. I didn't do the riff repeater today as I was needing to rush out.

Although I'd planned to play for around 90 minutes, I needed to head out earlier than planned and the Playstation crashed when I was trying to select Islands so I thought that was a good time to stop.

I need to adjust the volume settings for the backing music on the game I think, because when I'm playing with the TV volume low I can't hear the guitar over the backing music. Although I did crank the volume up a little part way through so that I could hear what I was playing (and wasn't too keen on what I heard).

Heading out to do some organising for the Stockton Pirate day at the end of the month - and no, I'm not playing. I'm taking photographs instead.

On the original Rocksmith I played 13 songs for around 54 minutes I've played all of my songs on Rocksmith at least once in the last 14 days. If I was to play all of them in one session, it would take me 3 hours 28 minutes to play them all!

I've played for a total of 104 hours 57 minutes with only 9895 hours 2 minutes to go until I hit 10,000 hours: the point where you are supposed to have mastered an activity.
