@merrikh - Would you like to transcribe it? The song is in the key of C and you can follow the chord chart to help you out. 90% of this song on bass is just playing the root notes of C, F, and A(m). |

@Ohmslyce it seemed fine to me, and I've played through it several times during testing. For this song I've already used the allowed 4 custom tones, so the main lead tone has to be used in multiple places - some of which are "louder" parts of the song. This may be contributing to what you are experiencing.Aside from using the volume knob on your guitar, there are also tools available to you on the forums that allow you to easily correct any volume issues with CDLCs, so it would definitely be a good idea in general to get familiar with those. |

That's totally fair! The bass chart is very similar to what you'll find in the GP file you'll see on tab sites - it seemed accurate enough on my (emulated bass) playthroughs. But let me know if something should be changed/updated. It's a simple enough song that I'd expect the experience for a bass guitar player to be fairly similar between either version. |

Title: Wild Blue Date: November 23, 2021 10:59 AM |
This version actually includes what John is playing during the intro parts, and the fretboard logic on the lead parts is a bit better, and the solos are much more accurate. You can also view the playthrough videos and determine which looks more to your liking. |

Sorry, but the rhythm track is not even "written" in the same key as the lead. This is complete gibberish. You know the ransom notes where people cut out random letters from random magazines and paste them together to make words so that authorities cannot identify the handwriting of the kidnapper? That's exactly what this is. Working through some music theory concepts will go a long way toward helping you as a composer. |

Title: Scarlet Begonias Date: March 11, 2021 7:00 PM |
Unfortunately this one also has major issues with the sync. It's possible that it could be out of sync in a very similar manner as your other Grateful Dead cdlc. Despite the sync problem, I started to develop a suspicion that the transcription isn't really all that correct - but I could be wrong, and that will be easier to identify if/when the sync is fixed. If you're not sure how to identify/fix the sync issues, there are a bunch of videos in the tutorials section of the forums that should be helpful. |

Title: Ripple Date: March 11, 2021 6:54 PM |
Unfortunately, there are sizeable sync issues that make this outright unplayable. The notes are about a full second or so ahead of the music. This could potentially be easy to fix, but only if all the notes are off by the same amount. The problem most likely lies in how you set up your beatmap in EoF. Are you using GoPlayAlong to sync it? I don't use it myself, but people seem to have had success with it. Also, the guitar tone has far too much gain. It's an acoustic guitar, so it'd be best to use an acoustic tone - or at the very least, just remove all effects and gain from the amp settings. This can be easily adjusted in the toolkit once the sync issues are worked out. |

v1.2 is now in the folder - lyrics have been added. There's a bit of ambiguity in the actual lyrics, as this old blues song has been covered so many times (even by 1970), Eric might be singing either of the following, or a combination of them: I'm going back to the bottom where I'm better known or... I'm going back to the bottle, well, I'd better go or... I'm going back to the border where I'm better known In songs like this, there is really is no right or wrong answer. |

The studio version of Red House is an official DLC, so you'd have to buy it. I don't know which version you are referring to, but if it's simply a volume issue, then you can use the toolkit to fix that. You should be able to import the CDLC in question and then change the volume settings (either for the song or for the custom tones, or both) and create a new package. I forget whether or not a live version, or alternate version, would be allowed under the site rules (I think they are ok) - but I have no immediate plans to work on it. It takes several hours of tedious work, on average, to make a good CDLC. Especially if you are starting without a good guitar pro file, which is usually the case these days. If I don't stick to songs that I want to create, this hobby starts to feel like a job - and obviously we can't be paid for our time making CDLCs. No matter what I do, people always ask for more, despite most of them not knowing what they are truly asking me to do. |

Title: Gravity (Live) Date: January 20, 2021 7:04 PM |
@Monkeyman - just PM'd you.I originally had this CDLC made with the entire intro included, but I kind of made an executive decision and chopped the intro off. In truth, the way the Rocksmith would need to display all those slides would make a frightful mess of the note highway. Pretty sure that no matter how much I massaged everything in EoF, the limitations inherent in RS's note highway UI work render my efforts almost useless. Just not worth it to me to try to include that part, IMO. |

Title: Dancing Days Date: October 9, 2020 11:24 AM |
yeah it's not terrible, but it needs a bit more work. The tone is passable but clearly not a great fit and there's a bit of something missing from the riff I believe. ya theres a slide in the riff that's not present in this version The slide is on the rhythm track if I'm not mistaken. There's at least two guitar tracks on the recording, and sometimes you hear one more than the other. You can't really play that riff exactly as you hear it on one guitar. The 3-2-0 pull off actually overlaps with the slide, which would be a quick 5th to 7th to 5th fret slide on the D and B strings. It doesn't seem super clear whether these guitar were tuned to E standard or open G, so I chose E standard when I made this years ago. I probably chose wrong, frankly. Open G seems to work a bit better, and allows everything to be played on a single guitar. Pretty sure Jimmy used open G when playing it live, but they didn't play it live a whole lot, as I recall. Probably because you still have to modify the riff slightly in order to play it on a single guitar. I'm about halfway done with completely re-doing this CDLC using open G, and I'll try to work on it/finish it this weekend. |

@ Do you see the quote in my signature? I've had it in my signature for several years. I just ask that you really read and understand that quote, and I'll stop posting here. If needed, please do translate it into your preferred language so that you can understand it best: "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool." - Lester Bangs (Almost Famous) Obviously, there could be many interpretations. Yours might turn out to be different from mine, and that's perfectly ok. For me, it says that true wealth comes from sharing real and honest interactions with other people. That's how we grow richer as human beings. And that this can only be done when we let our guard down. At this point, it doesn't seem like you are willing to do that. I often think of my relationship with music in the context of this quote. If I want to accumulate real musical wealth, then this quote tells me that I should attempt to do so in a way that allows "the real me" to be heard above and beyond any influence of the "industry of cool" that Lester talks about. In other words, be authentic. Always ask yourself if what you are working on and/or releasing feels authentic - especially if you are attaching your name to it. |

@ If you were to actually read my comment, you would see that I never advised you to stop playing or recording. Quite the opposite, as encouraging others to continue their guitar journey is what communities like this are all about. The middle of my post was about music theory and how you could write a real rhythm track for the Albert King song that you tried to pass off as your own. If you want to learn, you will find helpful people here. Just ask us questions. PM me with music theory questions - I will help. PM me with composition advice - I will at least TRY to help. You can start by memorizing as much of the Circle of Fifths as you can. Want help learning how to make Rocksmith CDLCs? I've made about 200 of them - I could help you. Many of us could help you. Just don't blatantly plagiarize songs that are written and performed by others, add your own "project" label to it and then try to show us that you've been "writing and composing." Learning music theory would go a long way toward helping you write your own songs without having to rely so much on other people's hard work. This is not heckling. If I were heckling you, I would be encouraging you to stop everything - not just the parts that are unethical and misleading to the rest of us community members. |

FYI - I do not read any of these posts. Anyone writing to me, has nothing worthy for me to read. Who the heck is this "GetThisAnnoyingPostOut" and his annoying hecklers in the like post ? If you guys have criticism, do yourself a favor and make your own "Blue Sky" for ABB on RS2014. Oh wait, no one has. For 5 years. Because no one can play Blue Sky. @ I'm not really sure how this helps anyone. You bumped your own conversation after 5 YEARS to make an unfunny joke about me and tell us that you got a new guitar. My comments to you were constructive feedback, and did not contain schoolyard insults. Since it seems that you misunderstood my comments from 5 years ago, let me try again - I don't understand why you put in "so much work" into only making these songs with only MIDI audio. Wouldn't you be providing a greater service to everyone if you also made them with the real audio? Are there any CustomsForge members who have played these and thought "Yes! This is what I've been missing! LOVE ME SOME MIDI ROCK! I need more!"? Do these people exist? If so, I hope they let us know. If you are making these for your own use, and thought "maybe I should just share these with CustomsForge" then your approach would make a lot more sense to me. You don't want to learn how to make them with real audio. That's perfectly fair. But frankly, you're acting as if your handful of CDLCs are some great contribution that is universally applauded. Why are you labeling other artist's song's as your own? Just because you call it the "Kyle Abent Experience" or "KAE 52" doesn't make it yours. You took Albert King's lead guitar part from "The Sky is Crying" and added "your own" rhythm part - which is just droning E chord double stops for the entire song. Then you slapped your own title on it. THIS IS NOT YOUR SONG - nor is it "writing" music. The song is in C# minor, which means that your I, IV, V chords are C#, F#, and G#. Those are the only chords you need. E is the relative major key, so it sounds ok briefly, but really strange if you keep playing it like that over top of Albert's minor key lead part. Bashing these two things together does not really make you a songwriter, but a temporarily successful experimenter. Experimenting is good - calling it something it's not, like songwriting.... is bad. Keep playing and practicing, but remember to also be humble before concepts that you do not (yet) know. If you reply, I would greatly appreciate it if it was a well thought out, logical argument - which you have yet to provide. "MIDI is better for your ear" is simply not true. If you disagree then prove it (can you name any musicians that think learning with MIDI is better?); or simply tell me that you're not interested in learning new skills at this time. |

Fix the tone, sure the "real tone cable" is garbage but I can assure you all that literally no other CDLC I own has an issue quite as resounding as this one does w/ its tone. I'm not sure why but the tone is so damn awful to the point in which I cannot play more than two notes without hearing nothing but static. I've never come accross this issue with ANY other CDLC. :'( Since you're the only person that has even remotely complained about the tone among the thousands of downloads this song, I can only assume that the issue lies on your end. If you can't find the real cause, and this is indeed the only song that causes you trouble, then you can always use the Toolkit to swap in custom tones of your own instead of these. However, the tones work fine for me and seemingly everyone else. Hi, thanks for the reply I'll see if it was just some sort of file corruption and try to download it again. If not I'll just have to learn how to make a custom tone haha :) It's not likely to be anything with regard to the files contained in the CDLC, so I'm not sure downloading it again would change anything for you - but it certainly won't hurt to try. The problem likely lies with your setup - either the pickups/electronics in your guitar, Rocksmith cable, or windows settings for cable gain, or even a combination of the those things probably aren't playing nice with something specific to this CDLC. Do you have another guitar that you could try with this CDLC? That could potentially tell you more. A quick fix that you can easily do on your own would be to use the Toolkit and import this CDLC, then you can change any or all of the custom tones to ones that you may prefer. Also, identifying which part(s) of the song trigger the problem will help narrow it down to specifically one of the custom tones (this CDLC uses multiple tones, as I recall). If you do this, just make sure that you keep the same tone name as the ones I've used, or it will not work properly. Feel free to PM me if you want to try this and end up having further questions. |

@ - Have you read my previous comment? fretted notes where not being picked up. anyone else have a problem? Rocksmith often has trouble with note detection when using a capo. It's gotten better with some their updates, but it's still not all that great. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. One thing that we can control is the setup and intonation of your guitar (i.e. positions of the bridge pins). Making sure your intonation is consistent will help with the note detection is RS too. One thing I'll add, is that I've noticed that one of my guitars performs much better on this song, in terms of score/note detection, than the others. I don't think it's a coincidence that this is the guitar whose intonation I'm most confident about, as I've spent a fair amount of time getting its intonation right. Also, it's quite true that changing to alternate tunings (like open G in this case) can alter the intonation of a guitar. Even if the guitar has been properly set up for use in E standard. Then add a capo to mix, which only complicates matters related to intonation. I'm inclined to believe that you problem is somewhere in that mess, given my experiences in playing this CDLC. In regard to the 100% bug, I honestly don't know to much about what causes it or how to fix it. Can it be fixed simply be repacking with the Toolkit, or can the CFSM app be used to fix it? I'll have to look into it. |

Any chance of charting this one in the original Open G tuning? Yeah, I probably should. I really regret the way I charted this song as a whole. Not that it's truly awful, but there's a few "vizible misteaks" the really bug me. Regarding the tuning... I based the chart off of the "Off the Record" songbook that I have (you can find a copy of it on slideshare), but it's clearly not correct. I'll surely be on the hunt for some transcriptions that I can really believe in, and then go from there. |

Thanks for this, love it, the chords seem correct, however can you explain for me how I play a 6th sting bass line 10 frets away while finger picking a barre chord? can humans really do that? I'm referring to the rhythm track and the 2nd fret bass note while playing 10th fret Barre. I was never much of a Mayer fan until I ran into this song, and a few others of this album, I can appreciate how amazing a guitarist, singer, songwriter he is now. I couldn't really find what you're describing in the EoF project. Also there is no rhythm guitar arrangement for this song, so did you mean lead? And if so, approximately what is the time stamp? This one was made a long time ago, with less stable tools and a much less experienced yours truly... so it could definitely use some tidying up on some of the advanced slides and other techniques. |

the inception of the song the first note is C aug and when you start the only note of blue rope appears tenth fret Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean by this. The first note charted that way because that Caug chord is played with a rake of the pick, not each string all at once like a normal. This is to match the way the notes are played on the piano. |

does version 1.1 have all the slide parts on lead charted? thats what i read in the description but it looks the same as version 1 to me when i played it. If not you could chart the slides past the 22nd fret as really high bends, someone charted shine on you crazy diamonds slide solo like that. All that players would have to do is use a slide (as the song requires) and slide up towards the pickups to match were the pitch of the bend is. There was previously only one slide phrase that was charted with bends (in v 1.0) which is now charted with slides in v1.1. This comes near the end of the song, and it's only a few measures long. It contains just a few notes/slides in the 22-24 fret range. Duane's first slide solo contains many notes in the 26-30 fret range, so it's been left out all together. |

Also, a bit nit picky, but under platforms it says all four, but download link only has pc version. Mike This custom was made in January of 2014, so the tools weren't what they are now. I'm guessing that's what's causing the inability to convert to mac, since it's also been a problem for the customs I made around that time. It was available for all platforms in the beginning, but I only host PC versions on my dropbox now to save space, having created over 150 songs. I just didn't/don't want to update the records for 40 songs, since that's a lot of fruitless clicking for me. According to the numbers from back when I hosted all platforms, just shy of 90% of the people that downloaded my songs were PC users. Less than 7% were Mac users. When I started testing the numbers again, after releasing only PC versions, that number stayed the same - which means Mac, xbox, and PS3 users were not deterred by having to convert the PC version to their desired platform. I've been working on a top to bottom remake of this song for some time now, because frankly, it could use one. I should have this released by tomorrow. |

Hey man, Just a heads up, I already did this one. Yours may be better and I don't care (some people get bent out of shape if you add another copy of the same song - not me), to me the more versions the better. But search the database next time and see if someone already did it. If it is decent pick something new to do (that is what I do anyway to add more songs). Some songs have four or five versions, the fifth may be the best but everyone downloads the first one. JMHO. Welcome and good charting. I made a how to do customs guide, step by step in the forums. Mike 1) This is extremely contradictory. Why would you feel the need to mention that you made a version of this song if you don't care if people make alternate versions? Your author notes specifically say that anyone is welcome to improve upon your version, and that you "don't need any credit." 2) Your version is not easily searchable - it contains incorrect artist and album names, and this has been mentioned to you in the song's thread. He probably searched for "AC/DC" and didn't see it there. 3) Anyone can create whatever song they like, but it's always respectful (though not necessary) to give the original charter some feedback and/or a chance to improve their work. Literally every single one of your CDLCs is described by you as being incomplete in one form or another, yet none of your songs have ever been updated past their incomplete state. The author notes for your version of Riff Raff doesn't exactly exude quality either:"Another unpolished one I thought I would put up if someone can tweek it. Great song, bad job by me. I don't need any credit if anyone can make it better." 4) Your tutorial is rife with misinformation and inaccuracies, which a few of us had mentioned. There are many other tutorials that would be more helpful to those just starting out. It's always admirable to contribute a tutorial to help others learn, and it's obvious that you spent a fair amount of time on it. But I'm afraid it falls a bit short, for the reasons we mentioned in the thread. @ Hopefully you're interested in learning and improving as a charter, and you obviously have great taste :D Again, really great job for your first custom. Keep up the good work! |

Hey, thanks for getting back to me... I'm new to the CDLC's but recently got things set up on my iMac so that I could use them. Most of them do work fine, but some of them do not show up in the game at all. Usually if they don't work, they are ones I've had to convert pc->mac myself, but again it works sometimes. To get the CustomToolkit to work on my machine (running Mavericks), I had to install some old version of a plugin I'd never heard of, so I suppose I'm not 100% confident in its conversions. Thanks again! No problem. I made this one well over two years ago, and the older tools were far less stable than they are now. I should be able to generate a mac version for you in just a bit, though I won't be able to test it. I'll be going back through many of these Zeppelin songs to give them a bit of a face lift, and this one will definitely get some attention. |

Title: Riff Raff Date: April 26, 2016 10:59 AM |
Pretty admirable job for your first custom, man! You certainly didn't pick an easy one :D Thanks for putting the effort in. I noticed a few things, that you may want to address, and I figured you'd want to be aware of them - in the interest of improving your charting skills. Here they are: 1) It looks like you've got some leftover tech notes strewn across the chart, due to where you may have moved or copy/pasted some notes. They're causing some wavy lines in a few of the chord sustains (not to mention problems with scoring), so you'll want to press F4 in EoF to be able to see and eliminate them. 2) To me, the tuning should be around A 443 - this sounded much better to my ears. This era of AC/DC is rife with non-A440 tunings, and it would seem this one is no exception. 3) You may want to increase the scroll speed, because at 2.0, the solo is nearly impossible to read - the notes are so close together. Using a scroll speed of ~1.5 would look much better. I was definitely guilty of this in my earlier customs, too. 4) It wouldn't hurt to make both the song and tone volumes a bit louder, IMO. A song volume of around -5.5 and tone volumes in the -21.0-22.5 range might be good starting point. Often times some minor adjustments to those tone volume values are required, depending on the loudness of the mix. I'd definitely be in favor of having a tone switch for the solo, too. Something slightly "hotter" and louder sounding would sound really great there. As it is, using the same tone as the rest of the song, it sounds rather dull. 5) Overall, the sync was quite excellent, but it looked to me like the beat map itself wasn't in line with the music. Did you drag the notes around a lot when syncing? If so, you probably made things much more difficult for yourself. You may want to check some of the tutorials that are specific to syncing your beat map. I hope this feedback is both welcome and helpful :D and certainly let me know if you have any questions. |

It's easier to improve/update/fix an existing song you've made than it is to make a brand new one. If you'd like to learn how to improve/fix some of the things mentioned for this song, than simply start a thread over in the help and tutorials section. I'm sure you'll get lots of us to offer some advice and guidance. @ I agree.

@ I'm not trying to be a dick, but I've played 3 of your CDLCs now, and they've all had many issues. Issues that you would catch if they were tested, even a little. There are SO MANY problems with this one.... 1) sync is very poor on all arrangements, especially bass, 2) bass tuning is not correct (it should be E Standard as mentioned), 3) there are no RS sections, 4) everything that should be a bend bend is charted as a slide (with no linknext status), 5) rhythm arrangement does not follow any instrument in the song (seriously!)... 6) E standard sounds slightly flat to me - does anyone else hear it too?) I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone else when I say "quality over quantity" is the way to go. You've been releasing songs at a furious pace lately, and it would seem that they all have major flaws that make it impossible for someone to enjoy playing them. There's so many of us here that would be willing to help you, but you have never even posted a comment - ever! Come on man!

Title: Thank You Date: January 26, 2016 8:24 PM |
i would love to have a version of this with the solo or even the BBC sessions version The solo is on the rhythm arrangement, since I (at the time this was made about 2 years ago) wanted the acoustic and electric guitar tracks each to have their own arrangement. If I were to do it all over again, I'd probably have the solo on the lead arrangement. A BBC Sessions version would be great, but I recall having trouble finding accurate tabs for just about everything on that album. Most of the versions are so different from the studio LPs that I'd have to chart a good chunk of them by ear. |

I've tried messing around with the tone volume, and haven't been able to make any satisfactory adjustments (see my previous posts as to why that is). My suggestion would be to use the volume knob on your guitar, lessening it during the intro and then maxing it as the song gets louder. This works for me, and I haven't experienced any note detection issues. I haven't been able to reproduce the hissing that you're complaining of either. Perhaps that's a product of your pickups or the in-game cable gain. It wouldn't hurt to try using RS's re-calibration tool. For reference, I'm using single coil pickups. |
Artist:

Title: Stairway to Heaven Date: November 5, 2015 12:58 AM |
It'll be very easy for me to include a new/different custom tone. I just a couple clicks and some in-game testing. As for the volume of the acoustic tone, it's used in two places in the song because of RS's limitations. If I lower the volume, which you say is needed, then it will probably be to low for the section following the solo. It quite literally has to be one or the other and there's not much I can do about that. Just so I'm clear - are you also saying that you think the tone for the solo should be louder? If you do have a "big problem" with volume in other charter's songs, the easiest thing to do is fix it yourself with the toolkit. All you have to do is click "import package" and then you can adjust the volume levels of both the music and the custom tones to your liking before generating a new .psarc. You can also swap in a custom tone that you feel is a better fit. As you can see from all the downloads and the thread comments, this is a popular song and lots of people have outspoken opinions. While I can't please everyone all the time, I at least aim to please most of the people all the time. From the lack of comments similar to yours, I have no choice but to assume I've done that. @fw190a8 I'll start testing some changes over the next day or two and post back here with an update for you. In the meantime, it would be nice to know if any of the 20,000+ other people who have this CDLC feel the same way as you. Please let me know good people! |

Title: Stairway to Heaven Date: November 3, 2015 9:37 PM |
Really poor effort. What's up with the acoustic tone at the start? As soon as you play a note there's a massive hiss. No, it's not my guitar, it's the tone. Why is the guitar tone about 50 times louder than the song? I could turn it way down in the mixer, but why should I have to? Really no point downloading this in the current state. It's shocking! Please fix the above and repost. First of all, please start by actually contributing something meaningful to this community. You've posted 8 derogatory comments in your 2 1/2 years as a member. Secondly, I've spent hundreds of hours of my life creating custom songs, as have many of us. Please respect that. Without those charting songs for you in their spare time, you'd be forced to troll somewhere else. This custom has been tested and played dozens of times by me, and probably hundreds of thousands of times by those who have played it. It's a very simple thing to swap out or adjust the volume of a custom tone (not that you'd know), so if any others had raised this concern, it would have been remedied. And quickly. Regarding tone volume from a technical standpoint, Rocksmith only allows 4 custom tones per arrangement. And I've already used 4 for the lead guitar on this song. The tone that you're complaining about is also used during the "and as we wind on down the road" rhythmic section, where the audio is much louder than in the song's intro. Therefore I had to make the tone's volume work in both places and find a happy medium. All argy bargy ^^^^^ aside, if anyone not named @ feels that any improvements can/should be made, then please do say so. I'll release an update ASAP. |

Hi there, I tried this track, and it says there is DD, but it plays it at master level--10000%. How does it work when it says there is DD but it doesn't seem to be working? Must I adjust something? What does the category "difficulty level" above mean? You have 5 on many songs. Thanks for answers. Thanks for all your work. You rock! I do seem to recall the DD working fine the last time I played this, but I could be wrong. I tend to just max out the DD and then slow the song down with RR to learn it, since I really dislike the way DD is executed in RS. This was made almost 2 years ago with tools that weren't as "bug-free" as they are now, so maybe that's causing some issues. I would think/hope someone would have brought this up before if there was a big problem. I'll take a look and see if I can find anything that needs fixing. I've been planning to go back through all of the Zeppelin songs and "remaster" them like Jimmy Page has done :) I'll be fixing things like bends and note sustains etc. while adding in higher quality remastered audio. |

@Liquidlizard any plans to fix the riff repeater problem in this one? Also, it's really awful (on the ears) to play along with because the actual pitch on the recording is about a 1/4 step sharp of A440 as a result of the tape speed being increased. What would you suggest? About A430? A427? Sorry, just seeing this now. A quarter step sharp would be in the other direction. Exactly a quarter step is right around A453, so it should be within a few ticks of that in either direction. If you have a tuner that allows you to adjust the frequency, just tune your guitar to the song and then adjust the tuner's frequency until it shows as "in tune." I'd check it for you, but my tuner's settings don't range that far from A 440. Another option would be to generate of couple of different packages for testing... one in A452, another in A453, etc. Just make sure the Toolkit's "DLC Name" is different for each one, so that they all show up in your song list. From there, obviously see which one sounds the best. |

In the first section (of the solo), there is a slide up to an A (10th fret on the B string). I think Jimmy Page hits the A and then slides up to it again. Right now your version only has the slide. If I'm interpreting this correctly, this is something that I intentionally left out. I've included a picture below for reference: Are you referring the the 16th note on the 5th fret? I left that out because it can't be heard on the recording. Same thing with the missing E in the third section. It might be there but you can't hear the actual note being played on the recording. I've seen it written both with and without it in transcriptions. It's almost a muted note if anything. |

They came out about as nice as RS will allow. I went to upload "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" and I think you ended up posting yours about 30 minutes earlier. That's what I get for not searching the forums to see if anything was in the works haha. It's just as well, since I didn't know they/he tunes to D standard. Tame Impala purists would have been upset with my E standard version :D So now I have one in each tuning! |

I tried two different guitars but I could only get about 50% of the chords and notes to be recognized. It's a RS issue, I'm afraid - having to do with the capo. I've tried repacking ti with the newest version of the Toolkit and I get the same issue. |

Same goes with official song in the backround, I gave up on that a long time ago on my customs as well. A long time ago. It's only a distraction. If I can give you advice jacksonplayer is to mute the songs, just listen to the actual notation in "midi" format and devlope and ear! It does wonders.. Why don't you just leave it up to individual user? They can just turn down audio from the original song if they choose. Forcing everyone to listen to MIDI audio or nothing at all, when every other custom (including official DLCs) uses the real song, seems like a waste of your time and ours IMO. I know firsthand how much time you've likely spent making these Allman songs, which makes it all the more puzzling. It's like paying full price for a Ferrari with a lawn mower engine. You've basically created a Guitar Pro file. We've been able to play along with GP files for over a decade - using a real amplifier, as you've suggested. This won't teach you how to be a musician or develop an ear. It will teach you how to play/sound like a robot. MIDI is obviously a digital format, and as such, it will never be able to replicate the nuances of an actual human playing an instrument. Maybe instead of "giving up on things long ago," you could learn them from the great resources and people here in this community and give back to it by creating 2 versions of these songs - one with MIDI backround music, and the other with the real audio and custom tones. |

Wow - I never thought I'd see The Strypes on here! Many thanks for this. Are you planning to do any of their other songs? Snapshot is packed with great tunes, especially for the bass players. I may end up doing others, but to be honest, it may be a while. They're going to require lots of manual charting by ear, as this one did. Most of the available tablature is incomplete, and in a text only version :( I kind of use projects like this one as a (much needed) distraction from the Zeppelin discography project... which I've been neglecting of late. These guys are a really great band though, so I wouldn't be surprised if I get the itch to start work on a few more after a get a few songs from Zeppelin's presence album released. |

fretted notes where not being picked up. anyone else have a problem? Rocksmith often has trouble with note detection when using a capo. It's gotten better with some their updates, but it's still not all that great. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. One thing that we can control is the setup and intonation of your guitar (i.e. positions of the bridge pins). Making sure your intonation is consistent will help with the note detection is RS too. |

Hi, I found 2 strange things when playing the bass path...first I reached 100% without even completing all the difficulty levels (I still have orange bars on the top of the screen, not all of them have turned purple). Next strange thing is, I played the song in Score Attack mode (hardest level) and basically 30% of the notes are not showing...there's even a full 30 seconds of the song left without any note to play...any idea what might cause this? Thank you That's really strange. I know that this song has been used in CS on a couple of occasions, and at least until now, no one has brought this to my attention. This one was made about a year ago, so maybe there was some bugs present the older version of the DD creator that have since been fixed. I'll have a look and see if I can replicate your issue(s). Maybe it's due for a simple re-tooling. |

Title: Steal My Kisses Date: March 31, 2015 9:07 PM |
No harm done :) I'm sure that I started with the same GP file you did, as it was pretty terrible. LOTS of manual editing for both the bass and guitar parts were required. And I even used a few great youtube bass covers as a reference. Without looking, I'd assume our bass versions are quite similar. As for the rhythm/lead argument, it's kind of a matter of personal preference. Whenever there's only one guitar part, I'll personally make it a "lead" arrangement so that people don't have to switch their play mode to rhythm in order to play it. There's obviously two schools of thought there, and while I see the value in both methods, I've chosen mine :) No matter what, kudos to you for taking the time to chart this one manually, as I did. |

Title: The Rover Date: March 18, 2015 10:00 PM |
Fantastic job as usual - but I'm wondering if there's any shot of getting the Rhythm included? Yes, possibly. What I have as a lead arrangement is really just a combo of the main guitar track (that continues throughout the song) and the overdubbed "lead" parts. Basically, the parts that are not included in my "combo" lead arrangement are simply repeats of what Jimmy played earlier in the song. What I didn't want, was to have a rhythm arrangement that was 90% identical to the lead part. However, I can totally understand why someone might want an arrangement that solely includes the rhythm guitar. I just can't make any promises as to when I could add one, as I've been so busy with work the past few months. |

Hey man, thanks for the effort on this one. Looks like you beat me to the punch by just a couple of days :) I took a quick look at the Guitar Pro export of your arrangement, and to be honest, there's a bunch of stuff missing. Lots of missing grace notes and hammer ons, single notes where there should be chords, missing chords where Jack strums the same chord more than once (in many places). I'm sure not all of this is your fault, since the GP files you find are rarely 100% accurate, and stuff like grace notes and grace note hammer ons do not import properly into EoF. Also, the song actually starts on the "and of 3", not right on beat 3 as you have it. This can really mess with your head when playing it in-game - the downbeat arrives a half a beat too late and makes it tough to keep time. Here's a quick screenshot of the first few bars of my EoF arrangement for reference: Would you be up for fixing this one up? If so, let me know how I can help! |

At this point, I've got about half of the bass arrangement charted. I've had a hard time isolating the bass's audio, maybe because it's such a tinny sounding mix that they used for this song/album.

Title: Stairway to Heaven Date: January 25, 2015 9:53 PM |
@ - those are just alternate ways to play the same note(s). Also, The Song Remains the Same version of Stairway to Heaven has a drastically different solo. The first 4 bars (which includes the first bend you mentioned) are basically verbatim to the studio recording, then it becomes ENTIRELY different. The second bend you mentioned is a 2 1/2 step bend that can either be played at the 9th fret of the g string, or the 6th fret of the b string. Really doesn't matter, and since the solo in TSRS is incomparable to the studio recording by this point... I don't know how you could compare the two versions, and it's anyone's guess as to how Jimmy actually played it. I have songbooks that have it charted both ways, but I consciously went with the 6th fret of the b string for 2 reasons: 1. the bend sounds more harsh/shrill than almost any other point in the solo (even for the Tele that he used), which would lend itself to a lighter string, played closer to the nut. 2. I personally feel it's easier to play this way, as it puts my fret hand in a better position for the following run of notes. Again this is just my preference, but I also feel like "reason #1" trumps this one either way. Here the TSRTS video if you'd like to compare it to the studio version (the solo starts at 6:38 in):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q7Vr3yQYWQ |

Thanks very much for your excellent work on this and all of your other songs. Great song - fun to play. The next time you update the lead, please check out the last note in each of the riffs in the last section. You have them tabbed as an A chord, and I think it should be the E chord. Otherwise, everything sounded perfect! Ah, think you're right. I just listened to the song to confirm, and I can't believe I didn't catch this before! *facepalm* I've got to update one wrong note on the bass arrangement also. Both are easy fixes, so I should be able to do this very soon. |

Title: Used To Love Her Date: January 22, 2015 12:09 PM |
Thanks for doing this one! One of my fav GnR songs. I'd actually had a bass-less version done for some time, and was going to manually chart the bass, since I had a hard time finding any accurate tablature. A couple of thoughts: 1. Would you be able to change all instances (SHIFT + L selects them all for you) of the G power chord in the lead arrangement to the open variation? You must have used the same GP file that I did, and at least IMHO, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep switching your hand position to that chord when you're already in the open position for everything else. I've included a picture of the change that I'm suggesting below: 2. I'm pretty certain that the bass arrangement is incorrect with regard to where it's played on the neck, 99% of the notation appears correct, but I doubt that Duff played all of those open notes. Did you use some sort of transcribing software? Often times, they don't get the "fretboard logic" quite right. I did chart out the first few bars a while back and here's a pic so you can see what I mean: I could transcribe the rest and send you the .xml or GP file. Would you be up for fixing it if I did that? I tried importing your bass arrangement into my pre-existing EoF project, but it didn't exactly "play nice" since there's some inconsistencies with the timing and beat markers in your version. This is probably the reason why DDC isn't working properly for you. Just a fair warning, as importing my completed .xml or GP file might not go smoothly in your project. Let me know what you think is best. Cheers! |

@ I have no idea what you mean. The solo is spot on, with the exception of a couple of notes that could also be played on different areas of the neck, or different strings - if the player wanted to. The actual notes and rhythms are 100% consistent with the studio recording, though. If you'd like to show me what you mean, you could always take a screenshot in-game of the parts you're referring to. |

Title: Stairway to Heaven Date: January 17, 2015 2:07 PM |
Hey thanks for the update, it's nice. But is the song really quiet or is it just me? I had to give it like twice my guitar volume in the mixer to hear anything. (It could be just my system though, sometimes it hiccups with clean tones.) Also, after the solo when the chords go A -> G -> F back and forth,they switch too early to G and F. Volume is definitely fine for me throughout, so my guess would be that your setup is the culprit there. As for the chords after the solo, if you look closer you'll notice that they are muted. You should just be played muted strings while changing your hand position to the next chord, giving the rhythmic sound that's on the recording. I initially had these charted as open muted strings, but a few people said they'd prefer that they show up with the hand position of the forthcoming chord. just a matter of preference, really. Let me know if you'd like any further clarification. |

Title: Stairway to Heaven Date: January 14, 2015 9:56 PM |
No hard feelings. My point was just that you might have been better served providing that feedback earlier on - then I simply could have fixed those things a long time ago. Usually when someone creates another version of a song already available here, it would be because the existing version is no longer being supported by the original charter. I see your point about scroll speed, as one might want to keep it the same as official DLCs. For me, the majority of what I play now are CDLCs which have the slower scroll speed, so I've grown accustomed to it - for better or worse :) Now, I'm a lot more conscious of those little things like note sustains, and such. Certainly more so than when I first made this nearly a year ago. By all means, if you see any of those issues present in my CDLCs, just let me know. I tend to operate under the "no news is good news" policy :) |

i mean the solo tone is fixed from the previous version..but still dont have the feeling of the original tone(the actual song)..the sustain especially ....about the unison bend section.. which in the previous version had a great tone...somhow changed to an acoustic clean sound..and as for your saying about the forum and comunity, i believe its right ...and thank you for endeavours... An updated v2.1 is now in the folder. It includes new solo and outro (unison bends) tones, reworked from scratch. They're much better now, and this'll probably the last time I'll update this song for a while. Thanks to your comment, I was able to easily identify the problem. I believe that what he was trying to say is that the unison bends 1) aren't synced quite correctly (as they appear off in spots) and 2) that the tone for that section is wrong (i.e. in the song one can clearly hear a distorted guitar, but in your custom, you simply used the acoustic tone). Fixed that in my version, just saying xD :) 1. The unison bends are/were synced correctly - the effects used during this section combined with the drums still following the original tempo can be a bit disorienting. 2. It was supposed to use the tone from the solo, but I'd mistakenly used the acoustic tone. It's fixed now, and I've built an entirely new tone. It's not really that distorted - Jimmy just used a sort of chorus/echo/reverb type effect. 3. Using this thread as an opportunity to advertise your version is a pretty off-color thing to do. We're talking about minor, easy fixes here. Not exactly re-inventing the wheel. |

This is the third time that I'm having to ask for more details when you've posted generic feedback. I appreciate that you mentioned that the solo tone might need more reverb, because I can then go and address it. Constructive criticism is the bet way for this community to improve the quality of it's custom songs. Telling me that the unison bends are "bad" does me absolutely no good.

I've now just realized that this was already made a while back. Looks like there were some gripes about the custom tones that were never addressed in that version. If RSTabExplorer is to be believed, there are some issues with the time signatures and notation - most of the notes appear to be correct, however.

First of all, don't presume to tell me why I choose to share my songs and in what manner I should share them. Most charter, like me, choose not to use up space on their hosting service for the 3 other platforms. Especially those that have shared a great number of songs. It really adds up! For the first 30 or so songs that I created, I provided versions for each of the 4 platforms. Downloads among mac users ranged anywhere between 3-8% , as evidenced here - a whopping 6.9% for Whole Lotta Love... Creating just one song takes at least a few hours of my time - usually several. Obviously, the goal is to have as many people enjoy them as possible. Secondly, just download the mac version of the toolkit here http://www.rscustom.net/builds and use the "converter" tab to convert any version to mac. Then you won't have to troll everyone's threads asking for mac versions. |

Google analytics tells me that Mac users comprise less than 5% of the people that download my songs.

I should have mentioned in the notes that I decided not to add arpeggios to the arrangement since the "chords" aren't really all that complex and the changes are pretty easy to pick up on. I kind of feel like the added arpeggios would clutter up the note highway. If a significant enough number of people disagree, I'll definitely add them in or create a separate version. |

I had played several songs right before this one and they worked fine. So, can you confirm whether or not this is still happening for you? Again, it works fine for me.

Wild riff, wish they had played this live. There's a vid on youtube of the them playing it live, but the camera is on Robert Plant about 95% of the time. There's also one of Jimmy playing it with the Black Crowes on their tour, which is of better quality. Just curious, how long does it take you to do something like this? Impressive stuff. Thanks!

Crashes RS as soon as i go to it on the song list. :( Do other custom songs work for you? If not, make sure you have the correct .dll file in your RS directory. Also, make sure that you remove any previous version of this song from your dlc folder. I tested both arrangements before releasing the update, and I can confirm that they both work. |

Needs a distortion switch for the distorted part after the intro and one for the outro. The clean tone does not sound right for the distorted parts of the song. I originally made this back in February(ish) when I thought that I could only have 3 tones per song, and not the 3 tones per arrangement that it really is. So thanks for the reminder! I've popped v2.0 into the folder, which adds the 3rd (over-driven) tone that you referred to. I also swapped out the old audio file in place of a higher quality one. Now the song volume vs. tone volume relationship sounds much better to me. Also fixed some "linknext" stuff during the slide guitar solos. In the future, it would be great if you could respect the fact that it usually takes hours of effort for most of us to create these songs. Especially those of us who refuse to simply cut/paste in the GP tab and assume it's correct. I see that the vast majority of your comments are to CDLC threads, and they tend to start with "Needs X" or "Needs Y." Once you try to create a CDLC of your own, and one that you really care about, you'll see that it's usually a lot of work. In the meantime, I know we all appreciate the constructive criticism, but it'd be a lot cooler of you to start with a "Hey, thanks for this one" before you jump into what it might need. Thanks for listening bro :) Happy hunting. |

Thanks for a great track, I've played this many times on Bass ( on 97.5% so far) but the timing goes out in places. The notes seem correct just a slight movement in timing seems required?! Cheers Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It looks like I messed of the grid snapping a nit, so many of the notes arrive just a bit too early on the bass arrangement.

I still got glitch with the version 1.5 Do you ? I actually think v1.5 introduced the bug @ found. Or at least that's what I'm trying to find out. I'm away from my guitars until at least tomorrow, so I can't test it until then. I had the problem in 1.4 too. I am pretty sure of it. I think you should recreate the xml with the latest EoF. Not recharting the whole game but only reave it and package it. I can't be sure but you should try it Good call. I saved the everything in EoF, then repacked using the fresh XMLs. Both bugs are squashed now. It would appear that the arpeggios are still missing the "ghosted" notes, i.e. the ones to follow while the player maintains the original chord shape. I don't recall this happening before, so it looks like I'll have to delete/reinstate the arpeggios when I update it next. I might try a new audio source too, and see which one I like best. |

Then I added more sections and repacked it, then I only tested to ensure that the arrangements started scrolling. I've seen this bug before, and it seemed like it was caused by DDC, since the original EoF .xml arrangements didn't produce the bug. When I used a newer version of DDC, it was fixed. I have the latest toolkit, so I'll just repack it as soon as I can. Hi there, just played this today and saw the grafics bug again... did you have a chance to fix it, yet?

Title: No Quarter Date: June 30, 2014 10:48 PM |
@ good call there. I tabbed it out as a slide up from the open E string but I don't think that EoF is able to handle a slide originating from an open string. It doesn't seem to show correctly in-game. I'll have to go back and change it to a hammer on like you mentioned. It's hard to tell which technique Jimmy actually uses since there's so much fuzz, but a HO sounds just as good. Good lookin' out! :) I should probably update my sig with a link to the discography thread, but you can find everything there (LZ I - Houses of the Holy).

Right on, thanks guys. I'll have to play around with it and see if it might be worth having the entire arrangement tuned slightly flat.

Title: D'yer Mak'er Date: June 15, 2014 5:04 PM |
(1) Thanks for the contribution.(2) I've only played 51%, but the bass tab seems accurate enough. However, it doesn't sound like the tuning is right. The bass part sounds flat and lifeless. Does anyone know if the song is tuned to regular E, or is it slightly sharp? Anyone else played the bass part yet, does it sound right to you?It might be the unique tone that John Paul Jones uses. It's very muted/punchy, which I admittedly didn't do a great job of replicating. While making this one, I began to realize that none of the tabs and songbooks seemed to have the bassline correct. I corrected a few notes and rhythms here and there, but there's no indication anywhere that he used anything other than E standard tuning. For what it's worth, I didn't notice anything that sounded out of tune during my (emulated bass) playthroughs. |

Yup, that's what you'd do in cases where the tape speed was altered. I've made a few of these before, and it's not too hard. The tough part with Layla is that both guitars (particularly Duane) sound out of tune. Probably just a string or two, but he also uses a lot of slide guitar. There's also some slide parts that are played above the fretboard, that RS wouldn't support properly. I may take another crack at it, but I'm more focused on keeping my Led Zeppelin discography project going. Layla would be something I'd work on as a brief distraction :) |

I personally play it in Drop C#/Drop Db as seen on this tab: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/l/led_zeppelin/no_quarter_ver2_tab.htmI've always thought it was drop D, but it seems as though Page slowed the tape down - rendering it Eb standard/drop Db.

As for the others, if I'm able to find usable tabs, I wouldn't be opposed to making them. I haven't looked too hard, though. That's a shame, I'd be more than happy to try and find a live tab for it or something! I think some has made the live version of Layla, unless I'm mistaken.

I've just placed an updated v1.1 (PC only) into the dropbox folder. You'll be able to find it through the original link in the OP. It adds arpeggios for the acoustic guitar part (rhythm) and a very slight tone volume increase for the lead guitar arrangement. This has been packed with the latest version of the toolkit, so hopefully this'll fix the capo-related note detection issues. I won't be able to test it until later today, at which point I'll fully update everything in the database record.

No worries, man. You're doing just fine, all things considered! I'd be careful not to follow that tutorial (if it's the stickied one over in the help section) to the letter, since many of techniques demonstrated there aren't really what you'd call "best practice." Namely the parts where large groups of notes are moved around. Anyway... that's enough pretentiousness for one day :D If you want to have have RR work with your customs (which is prettymuch essential for learning the song), you'll just need to add sections and phrases. The easiest way to do it is to click on the beat marker and SHIFT + S to add a section. Then choose the applicable name (i.e. intro, verse, chorus, etc.). If you are going to use dynamic difficulty, then the DDC (tab in the toolkit) will automatically add phrases for you, but you'll still need to add the sections. If you're not going to use dynamic difficulty, then you'll have to add the phrases manually in EoF (I think it's SHIFT + P after clicking on a beat marker). A good rule of thumb is about every 4 measures or so. Maybe more frequently for tough solos and the like. |

I just had chance to play through both arrangements, and here's a few thoughts: They both seem to have a decent sync although the notes don't seem to be aligned with the beat markers in any fashion. At least to me, this is important because it allows me to count out the time in my head while I play (especially the rhythm sections). This song is in 3/4, so I was constantly looking for the downbeat to get a feel for when the chord changes should be taking place. This is caused by moving the actual notes in EoF, rather than the beat markers. My guess is that this is what caused the trouble with the bass part that you described. When you sync the music with the beat markers for one arrangement, you only have to do it once. All others will be synced as well. Then you'd just import the next (in this case, bass) arrangement. Also, during the verses, every single chord has the corresponding (for lack of a better term) "chord box" displayed for it, even when the next few chords are identical. This makes it near impossible to tell when the chord changes actually occur for the player. I honestly have no idea why this happened, so I apologize for not being able to help you there. I wanted to go back at look at this more closely, but there's no riff repeater since it looks like you haven't added any sections or phrases. Additionally, like @stowy said, the bass during chorus includes almost exclusively wrong notes. And it's the same for each chorus. Since this is the only one I've tried so far, do any of your CDLCs have a working riff repeater? |

Actually, I'm pretty sure the first two notes of the song are a lead in. Now that I've changed it, the counting of the first few measures makes a lot more sense. I made the whole thing in 12/8, but I guess it just depends on how you'd prefer to count it :) Try it out (v1.1). I'll take a closer look at the trills the next time I'm able to play it through in RS.

Thanks richomat! I'll take a look at this the next time I've got EoF opened. Open tunings are really easy. Just go to Track>Pro Guitar>Tuning and adjust the number of +- semitones for each string. If you're importing a GP file that already has the correct tuning, then EoF will automatically do this for you during the import. The toolkit should automatically change to the tuning specified in the arrangement you're adding, so you wouldn't need to do anything different there, either. |

You could adjust the volume of both the song and the guitar by using the in-game "mixer." This particular song has been downloaded nearly 5,000 times without anyone mentioning this, so I'm not sure what to tell you. Both Joe Walsh and Don Felder (guitar players for the Eagles) used vintage Fender amps with no effects, so the real guitar tone doesn't have much distortion. Just a bit of natural tube overdrive. |

I would have fingered the main riff 4 - 5 - 7 on the A string, and a little bend vibrato on the 5 fret on D string, as jimmy plays it live and lot of guitarist do it so. Found this cover version on youtube to illustrate my point of view, which is not perfect but sounds goods, adding open high string on the bridge part chords. But i'm ok with your version.Keep going to make more led zep CDLC.I think you're right. It would probably make more sense this way, since you wouldn't have to use vibrato with your pinky :) Shouldn't be too hard to change it. Maybe I can get to it today... Edit - It's now fixed in v1.1. I've left the chords alone, at least for now. |

One of the songs I've been eagerly waiting from you! I always thought this was in a custom tuning (Double drop D?) Also adding the mandolin would be sweet. :) Thanks again!It is double drop D, I just neglected to change the drop down from E standard. It's fixed now :) |

i got the one thats on the download link... and it doesnt work.. Would you be so kind as to post the one you have that work to replace the one that is in your dropbox now ? that one doesnt work for me sadlyI've just replaced the PC version with the one from my dlc folder, so try it now. I'm almost positive that this is the same version, though, since I haven't touched it for almost 3 months and you're the first person to raise a red flag. I've just tested it again, and both arrangements work. Good luck! |

of all your customs, this is the only one i have issues with.. it doesnt load.. freezes the game, on pc anyone able to make it work ?Unfortunately this was one of the first customs I ever made, and I didn't use version numbers at the time. If I remember correctly, it didn't work at first. Then I corrected the issue, so you may want to try grabbing it again. I've played it a few times since then, so I know it works on PC. |

Very cool! Can't wait to try this one, though I get the feeling it won't be easy... sleepyIt's actually a lot easier than it might sound. The solo is a breeze too. At least by Clapton standards :) I couldn't find the studio recording on youtube. At least not right away. That live version is probably much more difficult. |

No worries engleg! That is a strange one. I wish I knew what to tell you. The first thing that comes to mind is that perhaps you have newer version of RS (with a more current patch) on your desktop, and maybe an older one on your laptop. Again, this is a total guess. I don't recall ever changing anything tuning related at any point, nor do I know if the more recent patches that Ubisoft released actually addressed anything like this. This would be the only thing that I can think of that would explain why your two instances of RS are treating the same file differently. Glad you got it to work somewhere though :D |

Sweet! Thanks yet again,GTLO. Thanks, too, for overcoming the 5-string-bass hurdle. (I used to live in Austin. Fantastic town with lots of great music. Brutal in summer, though.)Nice! I've always wanted to spend a few weeks there and just pop in a different bar/club every night. If you know any local Austin musicians that are worth listening to, I'm all ears! |

Thanks.I'm upgrading from version 1.0Awesome! If you can, let me know if the guitar tone sounds quieter to you. I didn't mess with it all, but it seems like it got quieter, at least to my ears. This is assuming that you could recall the volume in v1.0 :) I can barely remember what I had for breakfast! |

Nice sound, but wrong tablature i guessIf you had watched the video that PC Plum posted, it becomes quite obvious that Taylor Swift's guitar player plays it exactly as transcribed in PC Plum's custom. The guy in your video (who looks oh so credible btw, with his Tapout shirt and goth jewelry) is really only playing what would be the "implied" chords, assuming that they're even correct. |

I've noticed on my CDLC that if the tuning chosen in EoF isnt the same as chosen in toolkit it sometimes doesnt register all notesWell, the tuning chosen in EoF MUST be the same as what you select in the toolkit. Otherwise, you're likely to have catastrophic issues. The only exception would be if A440 is not the pitch used in audio file that you use. This can be changed only in the toolkit. EoF is agnostic to this as far as I know. The latest version of the toolkit imports the tuning automatically now anyway. |

Awesome! I've been looking for this. Hey have you ever considered doing anything off the live The Song Remains the Same Album? I've been searching for years for the entire Dazed and Confused tab!I might do a few live ones at some point. I've got some reference material for Immigrant Song (HTWWW) and another one which I forget.... It will all boil down to whether or not I can find accurate tabs or charts. I'm not about to not about to do that one by ear haha! |

Rocksmith definitely has some issues with capos and note detection. It seems especially bad when a capo is applied that far up the neck. I know that there was some discussion about it somewhere on SA, but I'm afraid I'm not sure specifically where. It might be worth starting a thread here, and seeing if anyone knows if there's any kind of workaround. |

Great song, and the freezing is fixed. There's a tiny bit on bass that sounds off to me, though. In the 10th section, when it goes from 12-11-9-7-5 (roughly) on the A and ends up in Db on the 4th fret, then it goes to a Gb on the E. I think it actually goes from the Db to an A. The open E after that sounds like an Ab iirc. There's another instance of that riff later that has it right, I think. Thanks as always for the killer stuff, GTLO.I did notice "something" that sounded off when I was playing it through, but I just assumed that it was my playing. I probably had a lapse in concentration when I was manually creating the bass part. I'll take a look the next time I'm in there. |

nice!could you split the solo into smaller sections? its kinda hard to practice on a single long section I spent some time trying to make this change but I couldnt do it :(Yeah, that'd be no problem. I'll add some sections to it when I improve the tones. cool are you going to be doing all the albums ?id love to see the rain song that's so amazing was learning a few months ago from YouTube and tabsYup, that's the plan.

You came! So glad to see you're continuing the project. As usual the chart is accurate, only thing I would change is that the solo tone needs meat.I totally agree! Maybe just slightly thicker with a little more ambiance. |
