This is a video of me playing Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold on Rocksmith 2014. I knew how to play this song a couple years ago before Rocksmith came out but pretty much had to learn it over again with the Rocksmith notation.
Honestly, there are more flubs than I would like show in this video but seeing how hard it is to pass the song on Score Attack, I only had a few decent runs to pick from so I apologize for the large amount of mistakes. For whatever reason, I really struggle to get through the harmonized section of the solo without getting three red strikes. If you look carefully, you'll notice that the first strike I get after the ascending chromatic run doesn't even show up as a failed section in the bars above?!?! Oh well, if I start to run into this issue a lot in future videos, I may start doing them from the Learn a Song part of Rocksmith 2014 instead of Score Attack. I don't want to sacrifice a good sounding video just to struggle to get through the strange quirks of Score Attack. Oh well, here it is and I hope you all enjoy it anyway!
Anyhow, hopefully it gives you all a general idea of how to play the song, even if it is a bit messy in parts. As always, appropriate comments and constructive feedback are appreciated :)
P.S. I do not claim any copyrights on the music or game in this video!!!

I played the first Rocksmith when I started to pick up and learn the guitar again. This was amazing. I really enjoyed watching it so I know exactly how much frustrating fun is awaiting me. For those curious as to whether this game is worth it, it is. You'll learn songs you like, and have many different minigames to practice skills and have a 'session mode' that mimics jam sessions very well. That said, if you want to know music and music theory, it is no substitute for classes with a human instructor. But it is a damn fine supplement to learning and practicing.

Thanks Wodism and I am glad to hear that I am not the only one to struggle in these sections. I think each section has a required number of notes to hit to get a green or yellow bar. It could also be percent based but I am not exactly sure. As for the chromatic run fail, I think I passed that section with yellow but it is hard to say. It feels like there is a hidden section as soon as the harmonized arpeggios start that I fail occasionally. It will be good to see some other videos to better

You might be right. The sectioning of this song seems off. SA can be pretty frustrating. You might make it through some tough solos, but then flub a single chord in a tiny section and get an X. I have a silver ranking in Afterlife now, but first run through it on hard had me choke after the solo and fail. Still, keep up the good work. Your videos, and presence in the forums, pushed me. It's only been a year since I've been playing, and you definitely had an impact on the speed of my progress.

the missed notes and fails in this section. Finally, the 4 notes at 3m13s are the devil. I pass this section without failing about 1 out of 5 tries or so. I've practiced it a million times in RR and just can't seem to nail it the way the game wants me to. I'm sure it has to do with my sliding... Sorry for the novel. Take care Wodism and looking forward to some videos from you soon!

@NickyScissors2048 10 жыл бұрын

That is exactly what I do with RR. I always work each section with all of the notes available. This is important for developing the muscle memory correctly. The new RR is MUCH better than the previous one. There are a couple things I wish they would add to it but overall a very helpful tool!

@NickyScissors2048 10 жыл бұрын

Thanks ODST984, I struggle with this big stretch as well since my hands just aren't big enough to fret it as a chord. What I do is fret the 5d and 2g as a chord and let it ring out as much as possible. Then I quickly drop the 5d as soon I pick the 3e. This technique sounds ok but not as well as if you could actually play it as a chord. Hopefully that helps... Maybe others can chime in on this as well?

The A7X are very challenging and take a lot of time to learn but don't be scared to try! If you really want to learn a song, just take it a section at a time with Riff Repeater at 100% mastery and as slow as you need to learn a section cleanly, even if it is 10% of the tempo. With enough practice, you will find yourself getting better and better and be able to play the section faster and faster. Before you know it, you'll be playing the section/song a full speed. Just stick with it!

Very nice man, as usual.. The only new Rocksmith 2014 song I've tackled is Deftones My Own Summer (Shove it). I've found that the score attack tends to be very picky. When you practice a new song using riff repeater, do you set it to 100% Mastery and slow it down as needed? I've found it's almost counter productive to learn an "easier" version because it makes it harder to learn the real version later. BTW, in my opinion the new riff repeater is superior to the old one, your thoughts?

I just wanted to note up here at the top, if you are considering buying rocksmith, make sure you understand how to plug it in/set you tv/sound system right. The audio delay i always here people moaning about SHOULD NOT BE THERE, if you have that problem you are not set up properly. Wire from XBOX to sound system. If unavailable, then make sure you set your TVs audio setting to "Game", its the quickest refresh, you can do this with your picture settings too so that you dont have to mess with the VISUAL lag thing either, although that isnt an issue when youve been playing a while... phew, that was more than i originally wanted to say

Awesome video man! The exact same parts are giving me odd troubles with missed notes. Haven't been through it in score attack yet, since I haven't learned the acoustic section yet. But I went through riff repeater recently and those were the problem sections for some reason. Do you know how sections are determined as passed or not? Is it percentage based? I feel like you hit enough of that chromatic run to not fail, but it still failed you. SA definitely has its quirks.

As stated above, you will have to get an electric guitar to be able to use the game. I went away from Guitar Hero and Rock Band too. Was fun but really got nothing out of it that was applicable to life. I have never played any guitar in my entire life and went out and bought this game and am doing pretty well. I bought everything a little over a month ago and am not able to play every day, but when I do get to play it is for 2-4 hours at a time. I am actually doing very well. I like the way the game adjusts the difficulty to your specific level of playing so that you really never get bored because every time you play it will be a little bit different even though it is the same song, until you max it out obviously. If you are contimplating getting it, I say quit thinking about it and go get a decent guitar and this game. And don't just go into the store and buy the first guitar you see. I spent probably two weeks going to the store every day before I finally pick mine. I would definitely try to get one with 24 frets and not 20 or 22. And don't cheap out if you really like the way a guitar fits your hands. I was only expecting to spend about $200 and ended up spending $400 on an Ibanez RG321FMSP.
