9962 and a lead session

Today I played for 77 minutes taking my total logged time to 643 hours and 58. All together, I have played 9962 songs, mainly on the Rocksmith games although some have been either solo practice or with friends.

I used the Riff Repeater for 25 minutes. The Riff Repeater is a torture device where you play the same phrase over and over until you can play it at full speed without a mistake.

Songs attempted were:

• 99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger
• Back on the Chain Gang by The Pretenders (played twice through, with the riff repeater on the bridge)
• Blitzkrieg Bop by Ramones
• Boys Don't Cry by The Cure
• California Dreaming by The Mamas and the Papas
• Drops of Jupiter by Train
• Next Girl by The Black Keys
• Paint It, Black by The Rolling Stones
• R U Mine by Arctic Monkeys
• Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley
• Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand
• Use Somebody by Kings of Leon
• Where is My Mind? by Pixies
