Existential Xystarch

I enjoyed today's session, although I only improved on one of the songs.

Two words that don't get used together very often:
existential: relating with existance

-- The Free Dictionsary, 12th August, 2015

xystarch: an Athenian officer who presided over the gymnastic exercises of the xystus, a long covered portico or court used for athletic exercises, among the Romans, an open colonnade or walk, planted with trees, used for recreation and conversation.

-- Sir James Murray's New English Dictionary, 1928

So today's thought of the day is relating with gym teachers.

Recently Played

Recently I have played the following songs out of the 201 song arrangements I have been learning.

Original Rocksmith Game

Boys Don't Cry by The Cure earning 93060 points.

Surf Hell by Little Barrie earning 44276 points.

Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand earning 68782 points.

Under Cover of Darkness by The Strokes earning 39239 points beating previous best score of 33807.

I Got Mine by The Black Keys earning 55787 points.

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.
