Word of the day: Ostentate

A pleasant session this morning. For some reason all my scores on Paint It Black were dropped when I started playing yesterday, it's taken four plays to get the levels back (and I have increased on one, as I have a new chord to play).

Recently Played

Recently I have played the following songs out of the 196 song arrangements I have been learning.

Original Rocksmith Game

Where is My Mind? by Pixies earning 76632 points. I got a new best streak of notes right with 61 correct.

Song 2 by Blur earning 79772 points.

Rocksmith 2014

R U Mine by Arctic Monkeys.

Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones.

Thunder Kiss '65 by White Zombie. I beat my previous overall score with 42.4%. I improved on my overall playing and gained 82% right.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan. I beat my previous overall score with 21.5%.

All I Wanna Do by Splash.

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 alongside a band or backing track.
