It's Barley Time

barley time: A period during the great French [Napoleonic] War when wheat could hardly be purchased, and barley had to be used for bread.

-- Alfred Easther's Glossary of Almondbury and Huddersfield, 1883

I've played just over 297 hours played on the two Rocksmith games since I kept notes on my progress.

Score Attack is a three strikes and you're out session where you get judged on how well you play a section of a song. You can get up to three strikes before the game terminates, and a strike is not playing a section well enough. 

I earned 45085 points on Medium today, earning a silver pick with one strike against me. I gained a x6 multiplier with a streak of 29 and 88% accuracy.

Recently Played

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

Rocksmith 2014

We Are The Champions by Queen. Improved my mastery to 29%.

Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones. Since my last blog I've played this song twice. Once in normal mode, and once in Score Attack mode.

Love That's Gone by La Sera.

All I Wanna Do by Splash. Improved my mastery to 20% (all of 1% increase).

The Spirit Of Radio by Rush.

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.
