Let us know your opinions on the accuracy of the difficulty scores (1-10) for this weeks songs.

Testing, 

 

 

I feel like Underwear is slightly harder than Rebel Yell, @@Rodman, is it okay to swap them and their rating?

 

 

 

 

 

This time arounds!  :D

Can't seem to get Rebel yell...

Yes, I can't connect to the file page either. Could someone send it to another server?

Oh man Billy Idol! And I missed She Wolf the other week :(  I´ve been working a lot lately, this was a lot easier when I was living the NEET life :P

@@johnal @@Mikson

 

Sorry, original host was fine this morning as that's when I re-downloaded it. 

Here is a link I have created in the mean time ....  Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

Thanks! got it!

@@toni - sure swap as you feel is right.

 

First Lead test:

 

The Ventures - Apache - good that there are championship, otherwise I would not know about the existence of such CDLC. Very nice! :)

 

 

 

Royal Republic - Underwear - I started to warm up and the song ended :huh:

 

 

 

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell - it's hard, harder than Iron Maiden, it should be on the masterclass.

 

 

Iron Maiden - The Nomad - Iron Maiden always gets 9, because it's Iron Maiden :D It is not so difficult.

 

Note to all Bassist at Int + Adv level! Bass paths have been swapped. 

Please be vocal, if you do not agree with ratings on any of this weeks paths.

 

this looks tricky, well the little I saw :)

 

Hmmm, RR time...

 

I guess the chart is showing a slide from D5 to C#.  However, the C# is not shown above, not sure if this is normal.  This same type of thing messed me up again when it has a B (with root on 4th string) and goes to A# and no A# is shown.  Now that the mystery is solved, let's see if I can play it.   

 

Also, I found I really needed to hit (in most cases) all three open strings for the game to give me credit for it.

I would rate them as 3,5,7,8.

 

Bass Path:
Beginner:        The Ventures - Apache (3)

Intermediate: Royal Republic - Underwear (5)

Advanced:     Billy Idol - Rebel Yell (5.5)

Masterclass:  Iron Maiden - The Nomad (8)

Always got to miss a note!

 

Yup, 8.

 

 

 

This is like 7, but maybe 8 is justified for the endurance required.

OH! No wonder you sometimes fail at sightreading easy songs. Your whole interface is upside down! :lol:

 

 Anyone else having any luck with this one?

 

Up to maybe a Rebel Whisper 

Here's my start on the beginner bass tune:

 

 

 

Glad to see the change in the lineup for intermediate bass.  The Royal Republic song was really getting my underwear twisted up in a bunch.  I'll give a Rebel Yell later today!
