564.8 A brief session before cubs

Some of the songs I was wanting to practice aren't on the laptop, so I went through Drops of Jupiter twice and spent fifteen minutes using the riff repeater on the hook element of the song.

The riff repeater is a torture device, where you play a phrase of the song over and over until you get it right. This time was at 75% of normal speed for the song.

I have spent 564 hours 47 minutes playing on Yousician, and the Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014 games, in this session I played for 9 minutes (excluding the riff-repeater time).

566.7 A Frustrating Thursday Evening

Tonight's session was on the bass guitar, with Angela and American Idiot played on the Score Attack game, and the other songs in learning mode.

The score attack game is a knock out game where you if you mess up three phrases you lose the game. I played both songs successfully on Easy, Medium, and Hard without dropping more than a few notes (on all attempts getting better than 90% accuracy on my playing).

And the frustration? Windows had done a major update last night, when I came to use the machine tonight, the wifi network was not working. After two hours of trying different things to get it working, I rolled the operating system back to the previously installed version. And another two hours later I have a working machine again.

I have spent 566 hours 12 minutes playing on Yousician, and the Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014 games, in this session I played for 47 minutes.

566.2 Thursday lunchtime

The Rhythm version of the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop is a little more complex than the lead version. I might need to switch which version I practice until I get it cracked.

On the rhythm version of the Rolling Stones' Paint It, Black I managed to get to the master level for notes. This means that I am getting all of the notes for each phrase in the song, and the game will start hiding the notes played. I should probably practice this one a lot too.

I have spent 566 hours 12 minutes playing on Yousician, and the Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014 games, in this session I played for 39 minutes.
