Connubial

Today's word of the day is from dictionary.com. Connubial: of marriage or wedlock; matrimonial; conjugal: connubial love.  Connubial finds its origin in the Latin verb nūbāre meaning "to marry." It entered English in the mid-1600s.

A new discovery of mine in the Rocksmith game, or at least the first time I've paid proper attention too the screen. On many of the tracks there are bonus arrangements of the song, I haven't quite worked out how I'm going to include them into my spreadsheet for tracking progress just yet.

I have spent 375 hours 31 minutes playing on the Rocksmith games, in this session I played for 32 minutes.

I am learning 236 songs through the game, with 93 on the bass, 20 on rhythm guitar, and 123 on lead guitar (some I'm learning on all three).

It has been 262 days since I played all the song arrangements, and it would take around 32 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.

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.
