DLC Round-Up: July 2015

Hello Rocksmith fans!

July’s DLC has ended and with it comes the DLC Round-Up! Let’s take a look at some of the Guitar and Bass highlights for June, shall we?

But first, here are the results for the June’s DLC Poll:

Wow, there sure are a lot of @QoTSA fans on here! Just absolute decimation from Josh Homme and friends.

I think it’s fair to say that July was a month for Bass Guitar. Outside of maybe one week (Volbeat) the songs were definitely leaning towards our four string friends. That’s not to say there wasn’t some fantastic guitar charts but with @FaithNoMore, @Skynyrd, and singles from Queen and Stevie Wonder it definitely leaned to the no treble side of things.

Bass highlights this month included Sir Duke (Stevie Wonder), Gimme Three Steps (Lynyrd Skynyrd), Another One Bites The Dust (Queen), and of course the @FaithNoMore pack (maybe excluding Midlife Crisis).

If you are a bassist and you didn’t grab this song…

The whole @SKynyrd pack is fantastic but this track really stood out with it’s bouncy, varied, and most of all active bass line

Simple, but iconic. It could be your first Master Mode 100%

Try to keep up with Billy Gould on this one

Of course there were some great moments on Guitar as well, @Volbeat gave us five intermidate difficulty songs that while simplistic in notation sounded great, especially Lola Montez. Nobody would argue that Lynyrd Skynyrd didn’t deliver some great licks and riffs with Tuesday’s Gone and Call Me The Breeze. Regal Singles brought us one of the fastest scrolling guitar songs yet, Sir Duke, the awesome grungey alternative dark Possum Kingdom, and the proggy ballad of Silent Lucidity, and even if Faith No More isn’t about shredding, you can’t deny the solos of Epic!

Captivating all the strings

Shuffling with JJ Cale

Arpeggio City population: you

Really nailed the tones on this one!

Pretty varied month for tunings, we had Volbeat which was completely D Standard, A Drop D bass part, an alternate bass part, but mostly it was still all about A440 (E Standard).
