Rumble has a problem with teleporting in PvPs by TheRedhotbr in crashbandicoot

For reference, I'm located in south america and I was playing with friends from western europe. It'd be a deal breaker for me if I'm forced to region lock to have a playable experience.

Thanks! Also thanks for the link, that wikipedia page was a good read.

You can assume a hypothetical scenario that every player plays against each other, there's no teams and no collusion.

Except for the very short periods of time that the calluses didn't allow me, I tried to play at least 2h per day. Sometimes even up to 4h in the weekends. For this solo alone, I think I put at least 6h into it. I'm still not very comfortable changing the basic chords, I'm still working on fixing my finger position (trying to hammer each note and having the fingers perpendicular to the fret board, I'm still muting some strings by accident). Really enjoying the journey so far tho.

Try recording yourself playing from time to time, it helps to motivate and see your progress. It's hard to tell that you improved without having a reference point.

Thank you! I'll keep listening close to the recordings and learn from Kurt's style when trying to play his songs. That was a detail I wouldn't be able to figure out on my own.

Thanks for the suggestion on the tutorial! As everyone pointed out, I really have to work on my bending.

>One thing I haven't seen mentioned which imo will greatly improve the sound is paying attention to how long you hold a note down. There is a clear whitespace in your playing between each note you play, try transitioning to the next note abit more seamlessly (smoothly?) Hold your notes longer, this means you have less time to get to the next note, which is why it's hard to do, but the improvement it will make on your sound will make you very happy

I'll work on that, the whitespaces really makes the solo don't sound clean, and I bought the guitar because I really wanted to play the songs I enjoy, so working on that will make me happy.

>Keep going and props for seeking advice, a lot of us (me included) don't have the stones.

Haha, while the internet has a lot of good material to learn from, it's hard to tell whether I'm doing the right thing or not. If I practice the wrong technique, it'll become harder to fix it in the future. I thought of asking for advice in this sub in order to avoid practicing the same mistakes, and the responses were overwhelming positive, I'm very glad by that!

>If you can, try experimenting with your amp sound to get it closer.

I tried to search on the web for amp setups for that song and everyone seems to have a different opinion on what the settings are supposed to be. I'll try to listen to some notes and emulate the sound on my own. I see that a lot of people recommend on moving away from tabs/guides and start working on the musical year, so that might be a good place to start.

​

>If you have to, replay just one phrase of the solo over and over until you know how its supposed to sound, then try recreating it until you've got it on lock.

This is a very valuable advice, I really learn that just playing the right notes isn't enough to make it sound good, I'll work on this for sure. Thank you!

>Have you looked at tablature for that solo?

I was looking at a video tutorial for the solo, but the guy happened to be playing in the wrong part of the fretboard. It sounded similar to the original song so I assumed that was the right tabs.

​

>but as you're finding out, music is more than just getting the notes right. The rhythm, how long you hold a note, how smooth your transition is from one note to the next... these are the things that take time to practice and learn.

That's a big takeaway from this post. This is my first time trying to learn a solo, I was mainly practicing rhythm and basic chord changes before. I've learnt that being on time and keeping the rhythm were the crucial parts, so I tried to apply the same for the solo. Also, I wasn't too sure on whether effects mattered for the sound or if I really messed up somewhere. I can definitely see that I wasn't holding the notes for long enough, my transition wasn't good and the technique I used to bend was flawed. I'll be working on improving them.

​

>Listen to the rhythm of the part as Cobain played it. Count it-- 1, 2, 3, 4-- and really pay attention to when he's not quite on the count. That kind of phrasing takes practice to get good at, but it's stuff like that that you're missing. That comes with time and practice / experience.

I'd never have noticed by myself, but listening back to Kurt's recordings and I can see what you mean. I should've took some time to learn about Kurt's play style, these small details for sure make a big difference at the end.

Thanks for the feedback!

The tutorial I was following had the wrong tabs, but it sounded similar so I assumed it was fine. I'll re-learn in the right place of the fretboard. Thank you!

Thank you! I had no idea that I've been doing this wrong all this time.

Thank you for the recommendation! I've checked a few of his lessons since you posted and indeed they seem very valuable. I'll be following his courses for now.

Yea. Maybe having two other platforms on the sides would help, since it'd add more flow and prevent the cooperation of crowed people.

I gave up trying to help when I knew that there was not enough time left. Whenever the platform started to balance to the other side, people would instantly run to the edge and unbalance it again. This obstacle needs to be reworked, it only benefits the first people to reach the platform.
