More learnings on the final day...
If you're learning songs on Rocksmith, start off with the song playing at 80%. But as you progress, bring that all the way down to 10% maximum!
I didn't do that and I noticed that I was "letting myself" make mistakes because they were being covered up by the song. When ALL you hear is your instrument, then you can pick up a lot of mistakes.
What's nice about doing it like this is that you STILL get the benefit of the notes flying by on the screen. So you don't miss any parts by mistake. (I tried practising this without Rocksmith and it often resulted in my missing entire parts of the song.)
So while you still need crutches (Rocksmith), keep using 'em. Just turn down the volume of the song as you improve so that you can focus on the feel of your playing and any notes you're regularly missing. Trust me, without the backing track so loud in your ears, those bum notes will stand out a lot more and you'll just WANT to fix it because it sounds so kak ?
