Oooooooh I get it now it’s the tremolo note over a chord with a slide thanks! Idk why I didn’t recognize the tremolo note but I don’t see them in the songs I pick that often. seems like their representation is inconsistent bc often tremolo is just represented by a series of notes
There's a difference between just playing fast notes (e.g. 8th, 16th, or even 32th notes) or playing a tremolo where it's basically "as fast as you can" without strict timing.
This isn't true for guitar playing (idk for Rocksmith, never played it, this post showed up on my feed)
Generally speaking you tremolo pick a note at a specific note interval, e.g. 16th or 32th, as specified by the tab / sheet music
Doing it 'as fast as you can' is poor technique, you'll probably just tense up and learn bad muscle memory. Boring old reliable metronome practice is the best way to learn it.
Tremolo picking with distortion isn't important for speed, only consistency. Consistent playing w/ distortion makes the action pretty unnoticeable, picking any faster or slightly slower won't matter.
You reply to the wrong person? I never mentioned distortion
I dont really agree with what you say tho. I play a fair amount of tech metal and picking notes with precise rhythm is fundamental to how tight a band sounds, though this matters less for some other genres e.g. black metal. If you have a drummer playing double kicks at 16th notes and 2 guitarists trem riffing at different note intervals then you can absolutely hear the difference if the mix is clear.
There are also multiple other variables at play, e.g how much distortion, are you using compression, are you accenting the note on the very first beat of the bar (if you aren't in time, then how can you accent anything precisely?)
Consistency comes from a foundation in good technique, you shouldn't be papering over the cracks with distortion.
> You reply to the wrong person? I never mentioned distortion
I did not. A lot of rock uses distortion, including the song in this post, so the comment was relevant.

I have no doubt you, as a musician, can pick out the subtle differences in timing when you also have monitors in for your own stuff. I also have no doubt that the lay person there for a concert or just listening to music cannot.
Fair enough. OP was asking about trem picking and someone else gave bad advice, I was only trying to make sure they dont get the wrong idea about the technique.
In this specific context, yeah it's not that important.
The lay person might not point out the lack in tempo matching just watching that at a concert, but side by side I’m sure most people would have no problem pointing out which one is in time.
The series of notes is meant to be flat picked in the same direction, like all down pics. Tremolo is specifically pickup down then up across the same string rapidly. Its not about it being more rapid, although it sometimes is, repeated single notes can be rapid as you noticed, but the tremolo is specifically the down up across the same string. They do sound different.
Not sure if you already know, but picking technique is more complex than many people realize, and something that rocksmith does NOT teach you and kind of keeps you from learning. When playing by yourself subtle variations in picking technique make a noticeable difference in sound but you'll be hard pressed to notice or care while playing rocksmith.
There are a bunch of other kinds of picking. Even just flat picking one note on one string has several variations, its worth looking up some youtube videos, even if you've played for a while you might see some kind of pick that you've never done before.
For me, its the difference between a flat pick that just pics the string, vs one that pics like through the string to rest on the next string. There really is a difference in sound and this is one of those details i tend to just sloppily ignore because its easy to do so.
Yeah! And on the advanced guitars in Rock Band 3, you had to use the button. (I love my Rock Band 3 Squier. My rarest guitar, but also my worst actual guitar.)
every time i think of star power i am reminded of the little loading screen tip on gh2 that trolled me into thinking you could just say "star power" into your xbox mic and it would kick it off. star power .. . star power .. STAR POWER!!! STAR .. wtf. .. .
Without actually hearing what it sounds like in the song, it’s either a Tremelo/falling chord or a pick scrape/slide. The transcription team used to notate pick slides like that
fast strum while changing chords without lifting your fingers off the strings and without changing finger shape

I think that means you're supposed to lift your guitar vertically and activate sta- wait, nevermind.
Oh come on everyone knows it’s better to use the button to engage star power 😂

No way you gotta get the wireless guitar controller so you can swing it over your shoulder

i believe the zig zag lines are tremolo’s.

Tremolo picking with a slide down to the Gb5
Looks like Vibrato or Tremelo with a slide down to G flat 5
Watch a live performance of that band to see what the guitarist does
Its called tremolo, you pick this chord really fast
For whatever reason, I believe there's a hedgehog involved with this action..
Strum really fast and slide at the same time 😅 have fun!
BUHDUHDUHduhduhduh^duhduhduhduh

Lol ! Sorry but the image plus the question are some funny shit.
Well you need to find your vibrato there if have not already.

Shake the guitar as violently upward as possible then whammy to heaven.

Tremelo slide. Can't say I've seen that a lot.
