First attempts at playing Bass

On the original Rocksmith I played 4 songs for around 13 minutes. I've played all of my songs on Rocksmith at least once in the last 23 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 need to update my spreadsheet to include my new Bass guitar (new to me anyway). Work on that is progressing - brief notes on my first attempt are included below.

I will also probably reorganise how I present the blog as a consequence of starting to learn Bass as well as normal electric.

I've played for a total of 115 hours 31 minutes with only 9884 hours 28 minutes to go until I hit 10,000 hours: the point where you are supposed to have mastered an activity. On Bass I played for around 14 minutes, lots of hours before I reach the master stage for that instrument.

Bass

I've recently obtained a bass guitar and have started the journey to learning how to play this as well as a normal electric guitar.

Guitarcade

I only have access to ducks, the game where you shoot ducks by plucking the appropriate fret.

First attempt earned 9113 points and gaining #8 on the leader board.

Lessons

I had a go at three of the lessons, and in reverse order to the way I was probably supposed to be attempting them.

Sustains I earned 43045 and getting silver: gold is 48000 points.

Shifting I earned 25385 points and earned bronze. Silver is 30,000 points and Gold 51000 points.

Bass Basics I got 30,004 points and earned silver. Gold is 35,000 points.

Songs

I had two attempts at Where is My Mind and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.  I qualified first time on both songs, so attempted the first set and got two encores with Chimney and Islands. 

A score table for the bass will follow sooner or later.

Unlocked

I unlocked several things today, including an Epiphone EB3, the Slides technique, Weesy Down tone, Moon Bass tone and a metal distortion pedal.
