I'm expecting April Fools Pete Townshend DLC with about five video lessions and two practice tracks on smashing the gently caress out your guitar.

Exodor posted:I took my guitar (Strat Squier) to the shop last week to have the strings changed (I'm a newbie and it was only $10 so I thought it was worth it) and now my low E and A strings buzz like crazy. They may have put different gauges of string which apply different tension on your neck and now when the string wobbles it touches frets higher up on the neck. You can check out truss-rod and action adjustment guides. With a bit of careful tinkering you can probably fix it. Or go back to the shop that did the change.

Did you properly calibrate? When it says mute the strings, quickly mute them and then remove your hand, otherwise the noise gate will be set so low it'll pick up mouse farts.

Titty Hero posted:So i bought the Radiohead and B'z packs, uPlay downloaded an update, and now suddenly the note recognition took a loving nosedive, especially on the E string, and the volume of my bass keeps... fluctuating or something, like it'll suddenly be really quiet for a while and then go back to normal. I haven't done anything weird with my bass since i last played it yesterday, and it's tuned properly and all. Is anyone else suddenly having problems? Yeah I wish they included In Limbo with Optimistic but holy poo poo is that DLC awesome. Also they absolutely nailed the tones on My Iron Lung, my jaw was on the floor.

I may not have calibrated since the string change - I'll give that a shot tonight. Thanks! Also when playing bass does the game give any indication if a song is meant to be played with a pick? RS1 would have a little pick icon but I don't see anything similar in 2014.

We really should have that calibration poo poo in the OP as well as a warning that the tuner is loving horrible.

Are there any songs in this game that have metal riffs or solos? I'm at work and the track list website in the OP isn't working properly on ancient internet explorer. Thanks!

Just picked up the Alice in Chains sound pack. I have to build up enough callous again after being an inactive guitar player for so long. The new implementation of riff repeater is miles ahead of what the original Rocksmith had. Maybe someday I'll work my way up to Satch Boogie and Cliffs of Dover. The only thing I kinda miss from the original Rocksmith is the stage sets where you'd play multiple songs back to back in front of a virtual audience.

Slayer's War Ensemble, Mastodon's Blood And Thunder, Karawan's Desolate Motion (prog-y), and old RS1 DLC. Possibly a few more.

Counting 1/2/DLC, a bunch of Judas Priest, Megadeth, Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold (ugh), Iron Maiden, Red Fang, and single tracks from Lamb of God, Mastodon, Slayer, and White Zombie. If you count KISS/Twisted Sister/Ratt/Alice Cooper/Deep Purple/SOAD/The Darkness/Iron Butterfly/Steppenwolf/Living Colour/Europe as 'metal' there's songs by them too! edit: added a couple artists Kaboobi fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Nov 22, 2013 |

Don't "ugh" too hard at Avenged Sevenfold. Bat Country is a good song that is a lot of fun to play on bass. Their other songs are poo poo, but that one more than makes up for it.

Nonstop play really is the best for keeping you motivated to do an entire one-hour session. You can even cut out songs you don't want to play before you even begin, so you don't have to worry about getting some lovely song like California Brain popping up randomly.

Titty Hero posted:Don't "ugh" too hard at Avenged Sevenfold. Bat Country is a good song that is a lot of fun to play on bass. Really not a fan of Avenged Sevenfold and most nu-metal, but this song is very fun to play on bass. I played it on a whim to get rid of that 0% staring back at me. Goes to show you that songs you may not like to listen to might actually be fun to play! When I got Rocksmith 2014, I decided to buy a cheapo Squier Telecaster and it has been breathing a lot of new life into the game playing a regular 6 string electric guitar. The games (which are much better) really helped transition me to get comfortable from my p-bass to my telecaster. I've been focusing on rhythm guitar and the lessons have been great compared to Rocksmith 2011, but I still find bass guitar much more fun  .The DLC has been amazing for RS14! RADIOHEAD!

The bassline hasa nice groove, even if it's pretty simple. But the Guitar ...it's just strumming the chords beneath the piano .. right? Man .. that's why I wanted Knives Out or something with a fun bit of picking things out. pvax fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Nov 23, 2013 |

I do not regret buying the pack though. Hope next week is country music pack or something so I can go a week without buying a rocksmith song pack.

I do love me some Johnny Cash but not I'm huge fan of modern country/western but I would actually like to see a country music pack on Rocksmith. It would be a whole other genre of music and I'm all for variety on Rocksmith.

I can't say that learning it is a priority but I feel like having a handle on it would probably help me be a fuller musician.

Whoever said they nailed the Radiohead song tones were absolutely right, all of the Radiohead guitar tones sound absolutely amazing. On the flip side EVERY song I imported from RS1 sounds like utter rear end. Some of the songs that sound ok on RS1 sound completely different in 2014. I really regret spending money on RS1 and the import tool right now.

I just listened to all the Radiohead pack songs on YouTube and I already knew I hated Creep and liked My Iron Lung. The rest of it sounds like poo poo to me. I want some Sound Garden. So far I don't really like this 90's alternative fetish they have going on.
