Galaxy Outlaws Review

I just finished Galaxy Outlaws: The Complete Black Ocean Mobius Missions, 1-16.5 It was what I would classify as a good read.  It didn't compel me to read it.  There were a couple of times I found myself not being able to put the book down but I wasn't really compelled to get through quickly. You see I listen to most of my books when I run, drive, shop or doing house chores. I never found myself fighting the urge to run further, drive in circles, shop more often or do more house chores.  That is not to say it was a good read.  It just wasn't a compelling read. I didn't really like the magic vs. star drive thing for star travel. Now, with that said, it did grow on me and in the end, I tended to enjoy it more. The whole magic thing just felt like a get out of jail card through most of the series. The characters even talk about how Mort (wizard) bails them out of bad plans but I am saying it is more a get out of jail free card for the story.  Back your self

Rocksmith Strumming Patterns....Rebel Rebel By David Bowie (Rythmn)

I would like to start posting my suggested strumming patterns. Why? Well, there are several reasons.  For me, I guess I have a strumming pattern disability.  Having, the patterns figured out helps me. I imagine if there was a  Metronome and it alternated between Up/Down that could help.  It wouldn't show you a pattern but it would help you figure it out riff repeater. I have been told you are supposed to keep your strumming hand moving up and down.  This does help to a point and maybe given time it will help a ton.  But for me, if I get off time, I tend to stay off time.  Do it right and hearing it right I am hoping it will help me connect the two so I can fix it dynamically. I would also like to get other input since I suspect in some cases I am still not correct. I realize there is more than one correct way and maybe no correct when it sounds good to the listener. So this is a song I could play at near 100% in master mode. I was playing it all wrong when I look at
