in his altitudes

And a pleasant 25 minute session this lunchtime.

Quite pleased with my improvements to Boss, it's a song I find challenging.


in his altitudes: the man is in his altitudes, he is drunk.

-- B.E. Gent's Dictionary of the Canting Crew, c. 1699

In a lofty mood; full of airs. Also in the altitudes.

-- Walter Skeat's Glossary of Tudor and Stuart Words, 1914.

Recently Played

Recently I have played the following songs out of the 203 song arrangements I have been learning.

Original Rocksmith Game

In Bloom by Nirvana earning 76068 points.

Boss by Chris Lee earning 18069 points beating previous best score of 17068. I improved on my overall playing and gained 76% right.

Slither by Velvet Revolver earning 25264 points beating previous best score of 24683.

Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz earning 31558 points.

Islands by The xx earning 23635 points.

I Miss You by Incubus earning 28523 points.

I Got Mine by The Black Keys earning 59233 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.
