I often feel superfluous has a superfluous u in it.

With the definition being more than is sufficient or required; excessive; unnecessary or needless. An obsolete meaning is possessing or spending more than enough or necessary; extravagant.s of superfluous being.

I quite like the obsolete definition, I'm thinking about trying to bring it back into use.

And before I forget, the results from my last lunchtime practice for the month.

I have spent 368 hours 48 minutes playing on the Rocksmith games, in this session I played for 27 minutes.

I am learning 233 songs through the game, with 92 on the bass, 19 on rhythm guitar, and 122 on lead guitar (some I'm learning on all three).

It has been 251 days since I played all the song arrangements, and it would take around 31 hours to play them in one session. I don't think that is going to be likely!

Recently Played

These are the songs I have practiced recently.

Rocksmith 2014

Slither by Velvet Revolver. I got 81% right. Overall I earned 22.9%.

Blitzkrieg Bop by Ramones. I got 91% right. Overall I earned 100.4%.

Boys Don't Cry by The Cure. I got 93% right. Overall I earned 83.5%.

Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones. I got 77% right. Overall I earned 58.1%.

Rotten Apple by Screaming Females. I got 74% right. Overall I earned 37.5% beating my previous best.

The Trooper by Iron Maiden. I got 75% right. Overall I earned 32.5% beating my previous best.

We Are The Champions by Queen. I got 65% right. Overall I earned 33.3% beating my previous best.

We Share the Same Skies by The Cribs. I got 90% right. Overall I earned 26.6%.

Don't Stop by Crimson. I got 62% right. Overall I earned 27.2%.

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, and you earn extra points for playing them correctly. 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. Although playing alongside a band needs a lot of rehearsal time to sound good.
