Sunday.

As well as practising some songs, I have also been looking at some of the lessons and games on the two games.

I need to think of some way of keeping track of the games I've been playing as well as the songs. I can't work out how to keep track of how long I've been playing them though.

Rocksmith 2014 tutorials

These take the form of a series of video lessons, followed by practice sections culminating in an exercise using the techniques demonstrated.

Shifting 101

As the name suggests, this lesson involves learning how to move your hand around the fret board to play the song more efficiently.

I managed to get a score of 99.9% today for this. I'm fairly happy with that (my previous score was around 80%, but that was months ago).

Two handed tapping

This is where you use your strumming hand to tap on a note instead of picking it as normal. This will allow you to play a more complex set of notes extremely quickly, the practice has you switching between the 5th and 8th frets with your fretting hand and picking the 12th and 13th frets with your strumming hand.

I haven't quite come to terms with how to play this way yet, and didn't get far enough through the lesson to get a score.

Games

I've played two of the games on Rocksmith 2014 and one on the original Rocksmith game.

Ninja Slide N

As the name suggests, this game involves playing slides across the fret board. Your character is standing on a tower, and you have to slide from one tower to the next. You get to slice images to gain points or to change strings. I scored 1,325,000 on this game, beating a leaderboard challenge.

Temple of Bends

This is a platform style game. In order to move from one platform to another you have to bend a note to cause a vine to drop to the next level. I managed 28,800 on this game. I think I'm a lot better at doing slides than bends - so I can see what I need to practice more!

Big Swing Baseball

This game is based on baseball, and you have to play the specified note (including a bend) in order to hit the ball. If you hit it out of the park you get a home run. I didn't get onto the leaderboard today and didn't make a note of my score.

Recently Played

Recently I have played the following songs out of the 191 song arrangements I have been learning.

Original Rocksmith Game

Good Enough by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers earning 33577 points.

Angela by Jarvis Cocker earning 96713 points beating previous best score of 142210.

Space Ostrich by Dinosaur earning 20553 points.

Where is My Mind? by Pixies earning 84795 points beating previous best score of 81402. I improved on my overall playing and gained 95.0% right.

Song 2 by Blur earning 74687 points.

Sunshine of Your Love by Cream earning 59427 points. I got a new best streak of notes right with 70 correct.

Rocksmith 2014

Love That's Gone by La Sera.

Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones. I beat my previous overall score with 47.1%.

R U Mine by Arctic Monkeys.

Losing My Religion by REM. I beat my previous overall score with 50.6%.

Everlong by Foo Fighters. I improved on my overall playing and gained 87.0% right.

Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana. I improved on my overall playing and gained 81.0% right.

Rotten Apple by Screaming Females.

Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold. I beat my previous overall score with 18.6%.

Chompers by Fang Island. I beat my previous overall score with 80.0%.

Round and Round by Ratt. I beat my previous overall score with 18.0%.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan.

All songs played

This is the full list of songs that I have played on the two versions of the Rocksmith game.
The two versions of the game have different methods of calculating the scores. The original version just had the score, streak and percentage. In Rocksmith 2014 the score was dropped from the main results, and a mastery and an overall result was added.

The overall result can be over 100%, this occurs when a song is played in master mode. In Master mode, the game hides the notes you are expected to play. When you manage to successfully play the song in master mode, you have learned the song and should be able to play the song just with a backing track.
