I'm kind of all over the place, sampling as many songs as I can. And yes, just got through Rock and Roll All Nite and sounded horrible.  ;D

Kiss takes a night or two to nail...they sound so simple and they are...but the rhythm is everything.

Well it's not that. The game starts out throwing you one note at a time and the more you nail it, the more notes they start sending your way. That's where Riff Repeater comes in. I need to go in there, adjust the speed as well as the master notes. What's cool is that I can pick any section of the song to work on at any time. This will be my song (Rock and Roll All Nite) of the night and on into tomorrow no doubt. As fun as Every Breath is, it's really complicated with the chord changes and nailing the palm mutes and keeping it in time. I did decent on this one given the fact that I had never played the song before at any time.

I've gotten a much better handle on the layout of the game and let me tell ya, it's insanely addictive. It's actually pretty clever in how the entire thing is set up by sending you on Missions, it literally keeps you glued your guitar and TV so that you can see what happens next. I looked up at the clock and saw that I had played / practiced for 90 minutes with no break. Sh*t man, I don't even play GTA V more than 20-30 minutes at a time!!!!! My hands feel like they could punch a wall!!!

I didn't see any, but I know that the forthcoming BandFuse does.

A very unusual achievement that I noticed yesterday was that I had to jam in Session Mode anywhere from midnight to 3am to bag the achievement score. It's actually called the 'Waking Up The Neighbors' achievement. Haha. Well, I just got that. Now the Mission I had to do was keep playing non-stop for 10 minutes in Session Mode using the Pentatonic Minor scale. You would think that its no problem. Easy. Wrong. You try noodling for 10 minutes where you're just jamming in the same scale the entire time. I actually kept it up for 12 minutes before my fingers and my brain couldn't take any more. Fingers bleeding. Suck it Vai!

I loooooooooooooove this "game". Should really call it a tool, but then again, the Guitarcade section is in fact games where you practice a slew of techniques in 80's style arcade games. One of my favorites already is Return To Castle Chorded. Man, I really wish I had something like this back in the day when I first picked up a guitar. F*cking slow-ass technology progress!

Last night I worked on Mary Jane's Last Dance. I always liked the song, but playing it, man it just elevates Mike Cambell's and Tom Petty's rhythm playing even more. There are changes that I never knew from the song. So naturally, the changes as simple as they are on paper, are pretty daunting when forced to play at tempo the first time around. Well, the first 20 times around. Haha.

Today been working in Sessions Mode as well as Misson Lessons. The Session Mode goal is that I have to play 20 minutes. The bonus to this particular sessions is that it's a 'Heavy Metal' band. Looooooooove it. But damn man, my fingers are raw meat. I know I gotta step back and give it time to build up but like I said, it's addictive and I don't like even putting my guitar down for more than an hour.

No pics man. It's a beat up piece of sh*t Yamaha. I really wish I didn't sell off all my stuff. Only thing I still have is my Chandler Pre-Amp and Rack FX. Still have a 4 Track Recorder, but that's another matter all together. Not sure what song I will play next. There are so many on-disc that I kinda want to sample each one and see what stands out as 'must learn right away' songs.
