Lead scores I played this song so long ago and then forgot. But I don't know if it was the same CDLC, maybe an older one. Diff rating 2.5 is too low in my opinion. I think (and I think I've mentioned this before) that @cacahuate51, for you, easier arpeggios don't pose any problems, so you're giving it a low rating, but it's a somewhat difficult technique for beginners. Overall, most of the song is easy, but this in screenshoot is quite awkward. For me, this is a 3/3.5. This is a 3, and for me, it's easier than Men At Work. But that's my personal opinion, because for me, charts where the notes are based on the vocal line always seem easier. I give 2.5. Really classic song. Not very fast but technical chart, more than 4.5 for me. Slides, hammer ons/pull offs, bends, and a lot of jumping over frets, for me this is at least a 5, because it's very difficult to achieve 99%, so if someone from intermediate could do it, they definitely deserve the advanced class. Besides, it's a really good CDLC. I remember back in the day (I checked, it was week 406) we were playing an older version of CDLC that was rated 6, perhaps a bit too high, and the chart was generally similar to this new version. We had a great fight for victory back then 😀 Really fun chart, I'd gladly play it again. I'd give this a 4. Advanced and Masterclass are quite similar in terms of difficulty. The Haunted song is harder excluding the solo (but that's my opinion because it's faster and that's a bigger problem for me), Dethklok song is mostly easier but has a very difficult solo (8.5 solo, 6 for the rest of the chart). It's hard to rate this chart, I think 8 is ok. The Haunted could also be an 8, but 7.5 is ok too.

A nice hattrick of wins last week 😍 This happened to me before, but when I was competing in advanced in all paths, and now I'm in the rhythm masterclass, which raises the bar significantly. However, I think that my selection of songs did not appeal to the competitors enough to make them take up a fierce fight in my classes 😐 @cacahuate51 Thanks for a week! Interesting song choices. I've been watching a lot of matches lately, though I've been playing Rocksmith less. It's not easy in my time zone because some matches take place at night 😴 You can rest assured that I will comment on the difficulty ratings for the songs from the selection 🤣 I support Cape Verde, they are amazing 😍, and among European teams I support Norway because I like this team.

Finally. See you next week!

This song haunts me because many of the competitors here achieve very high scores that I can't catch...

Lead improvements I finally managed to achieve 95%, but it was difficult because many bends don't want to register. And then there are these two fast pull-off sections where if you make a mistake, you get a lot of misses. I kept having trouble with this riff after the streak of red, 2 blue, 2 yellow, and a red 13 or 11, which I tried to catch with my pinky, as I think it's supposed to be done. After a few tries, it got a little better, but still not perfect. Huge improvement yes! 🤣

Re-played Improvement. It's too hard to achieve 90 here, it's a pity that in this section where we have a series of fast bends using 3 strings, I only get misses no matter how I bending...

You can probably guess that I've done this many times, so I know it's possible. But the week is almost over, so I'm leaving it for "maybe someday" 😉

I listened to the song, and the only place it could be is before the solo? I checked tabs on UG, and indeed, there's a slide from red 9, and it even repeats it earlier. I think I used those tabs, and it wasn't there before; they must have updated them. Well, I see I need to improve it, but first I need to find the files where I created it 😕

It's almost unreal that I've played and tested this so many times and never noticed it! But no one has mentioned it until now. Human eyes can be deceiving 😵 I'm not changing it now because I suspect changing the title would affect OCR recognition. Besides, the files from creating CDLC are on my old computer, or they've disappeared somewhere 😕

Bass This can be played more easily by not moving to the yellow (A string) frets 7-8 but staying on the blue 2-3.

Rhythm Well, this is a classic. Who remembers the movie 8 Mile? I watched it ages ago... I rated rhythm chart a 4 when I added song suggestion, which was probably over 3 years ago. Now, compared to the current ratings, I think it's more like a 3/3.5. Rhythm with a solo, it can't be easy 😉

Scores from testing Lead Screenshot from past testing, I'll try to play this again. This is a cool song that was frequently played on the radio I listened to a few years ago, so I wanted to play it. @cacahuate51 I saw you wrote that it could be improved, but I haven't had much time lately, and I think it's more of a cosmetic improvement, because I didn't notice any bugs when I played it now after a long break. This is not very difficult but I have a problem with the speed of these riffs. That's why I hesitated to rate diff and I'm not sure about it. What a nice song and fun chart. I didn't know this before, so @jimmy655 thanks for the suggestion!

What a massive lineup! So many great bands to see in one place. Out of curiosity, I checked where this festival is taking place and it turns out that it's not even that far from me, but I don't know if I could endure such a marathon 😄 Generally, I definitely prefer concerts at night or in arenas to those during the day. But with a lineup like that, I'd sometimes be confused about who to go see, as some concerts overlap.

At first, it seemed a bit awkward, but once I started using the fingering as it is (with the thumb on the E string), my fingers easily fell into place for these chords. But you might be right, I'll give it a 2 for now, because that was my first thought. This shouldn't be too strong an indicator of difficulty, since we're constantly doing the same thing. Of course, it's worth considering this: if there's a song with long streaks of easy notes and, for example, a more difficult short solo, you can still achieve 99% quite easily. Then, even if the solo is, for example, a 7, it's better to give it a 6.5 so that it doesn't become a benchmark for level up to a higher class.

This week is over. Thanks for competing! The new championship week starts here:
