    Just got into a band called Screaming Females recently, chuffed to see they're already in Rocksmith as a regular set list track

    Huh, kind of suprised by the choices. I would have thought that lifeline song would have been a sure pick, and I was kind of interested for the opening riff. Think the others are kind of generic sounding, can't really think of any guitar parts that stand out in them.

    I had hoped for "Getting away with Murder" and "Last Resort" though Drop C and D is bleh. Scars? meh

    With a lot of band packs, it always seems like we get "two songs people want" and "one song the band wants"

    Though usually that means it's some track off whatever their newest album is.

    I was actually wondering, Is drop c still in e standard or is it the d standard equivalent of drop d? Or can you do either to different effects?

  • Options

    The D standard equivalent. Never seen the other way. Not that you couldn't I guess, but you would lose the ability to easily play power chords.

    Pretty much any time you see "drop" in the tuning it's to detune the top string so that you just bar the top 3 to be able to do a power chord. And more importantly, you can just just hit the low e string, to now give you an open D (or C in this case, which would be CDCFAD in case I'm mistaken, which is possible, I've been drinking and just did the fretboard/scale in my head, which in all honestly, was harder than googling it on hindsight. But good practice in any case) that besides regular chords, just seems to flow with the guitar if you want to just chug on a palm muted note for awhile.

    It's funny, I used to avoid say drop D, but I've been playing with a guy who has always played in drop D, and it's really opened up some things for me on how to use it. And a lot of that is attributed to things this game taught me that I always struggled to learn.

    Back from seeing The Church. Y'know what I'd like in a future song pack? The Church! And maybe some Love & Rockets and some Smithereens, as long as I'm asking.

    It was! Although I only recognized about four songs, all from Starfish or Gold Afternoon Fix. They did a bunch of stuff from their new album, and apparently they've put out another 25 or so albums since I was playing them on my college radio show? (Also, Marty Wilson-Piper wasn't along for this tour, so they had to recruit another guitarist.)

    I'm guessing it has something to do with how songs are licensed, but I really wish you could tell the game to ignore having to tune before a song, or even if the real tone cable is plugged in. Sometimes it'd be nice to have a scrolling tab on screen, say you forgot your cable or are on an acoustic, or maybe you just want to quickly look at a part in riff repeater. Or I really want to play in drop D in session mode.

    I agree. I've recently been using riff repeater to play along through my amp or with acoustic, and it is really annoying have to tune in the game before doing that.

    The worst is when a song has slightly off tuning, or demands you play with a capo. Just pitch correct it, game! Don't make me tune down ever so slightly.

    Oh brilliant

    Ya I never play those songs. I'll change my tuning, but not just barely for no reason.

    This is doubly weird because sometimes you can put on the capo and it won't think it's on just right and you'll keep failing the tuning. Then after awhile it's just "Do you want to play anyway?"

    Why doesn't it just have a button to skip it whenever. Then I wouldn't have to retune meticulously when switching guitars or slightly offset frequencies that I probably butcher with my terrible clumsy fingers anyway?

    Haha yeah I don't either. I get why they don't just change other tunings but that slightly sharp stuff feels incredibly nitpicky. Like I don't think the band knew they where playing anything but an e standard

    This has always been my thought. One member slightly tuned wrong by ear, or somebody hit some buttons on the tuner making it slightly off, and they went with it.

    The Buckley pack is available. And I watched the official trailer and was amused to see that the person playing along had just as much trouble as I do getting some of the arpeggios and rapid strums to register.

    edited March 2015
    Went to go check out the songs on youtube, and wiki this guy. Had heard Hallelujah. One album, and Rolling stone named him one of the best singers of all time. Now sad I never listened to his short catalog. Going to remedy that. Such a WTF you can never predict the future or when you're going to die death. Kind of reminded me of Randy Rhoads death. Nothing at all in common, except completely random. If they A/C had not malfunctioned or they had stayed somewhere else . / had he not gone swimming/had the boat had a slightly different course. Sad :(

    Trying to decipher the hint. Does it have something to do with the tuning? Drop D, E, Open G?

    I was hoping at least the original was on sale. I'd like to import the disk on steam.
