Hello Rocksmith fans!
Another DLC month has ended and with it comes the DLC Round-Up!
April was definitely an interesting month with Rocksmith. We had the first week of DLC leak care of Microsoft (Bush), We finally got that Thin Lizzy pack we had been looking for, albeit only three songs, Alt-Hits brought up the ‘ol “what does Alternative even MEAN?!” argument, and we wrapped it up with a DLC almost 3 years in the making, Dethklok!
Before we get into April’s DLC let’s check out how you voted for March 2015.
Out of 423 votes:
- Looks like we have a TIE! Yup, seems like you couldn’t decide if Anthrax or The Cars should win so they both got a total of 24% of the vote – 103 Votes each
- Runner up is last month’s “fake” band, Spinal Tap! With 19% of the vote – 79 Votes
- Following close behind is the 5 pack of St. Patrick’s Day hits, it’s The Shamrock Song Pack with 18% of the vote – 76 Votes
- Finally last but never least (as far as I’m concerned) the beautifully tragic Jeff Buckley with 15% of the vote – 62 Votes
The bassists have certainly spoken in this case!
This month definitely packed some heavy hitters on both Guitar and Bass. Bassists rejoiced at the simplistic yet satisfying bass lines of Phil Lynott, care of Thin Lizzy, the repetitive yet enjoyable Comedown by Bush, the constantly shifting journey of Dinosaur Jr’s Feel The Pain, and of course the galloping brutal bass of William Murderface care of Dethklok.
Here’s a look at some of the top bass arrangements of April!
Moar like “the bass is back in town” amirite?
Don’t miss a note, it changes at the end!
Chord attack!
… Brutal
Guitarists were treated to the duelling harmonization of Thin Lizzy, The Neil Young-eque soloing of Everything Zen by Bush, The Capo required but awesome outro solo of Feel The Pain, and of course who could forget the sweeps arpeggios of Thunderhorse.
Now you can play this song over and over and over…
Keep on Rockin’ In the Free World Gavin!
You won’t be feeling nothing during that solo
Methinks @elisoncrz needs to go homes takes a showers and wash the shames off…
Of course you don’t have to shred to have a good time, there was also some great rhythm arrangements and chord progressions to add to your library.
If you don’t mind Eb Standard that is
Personal opinion… Ugh.
Another Eb Standard jaunt, work on those arpeggios!
Jazzy!
We went low, lower than every before with the C Standard of Dethklok but how did this month look for tunings?
Arrangement | E Standard | Drop D | Eb Standard | C Standard | Capo Required |
Lead | 6 | 1 | 4 | 3 | 1 |
Rhythm | 6 | 1 | 4 | 3 | 1 |
Bass | 6 | 1 | 6 | 3 | X |
Alt. Lead | X | X | X | 3 | X |
Not too shabby!
Which brings us to the question on everyone’s mind…
See you next month!
