We have permanently suspended Lil Ramen Noodle's account for repeatedly scamming people who commissioned charts from him. While we don't know the full extent of the problem, we know this was a frequent occurrence. We have issued temporary bans and restrictions over time, which have helped motivate some refunds and completion of work. Ultimately this policy stopped being effective, and we apologize for not suspending his account earlier. Additionally, we have permanently suspended 65 days for monetizing charts behind a "Ko-Fi". Our rules are clear and stipulate that CDLC linked to on CustomsForge should not be locked behind a paywall. His ban is also effective immediately. Using a new Ignition feature, all charts belonging to Lil Ramen Noodle and 65 days have been moved to our Abandoned user. This user's purpose is to store charts for users who have requested that, or for instances like this when accounts have received administrative action. It's possible for any user to request ownership of an abandoned chart, just contact a staff member. Charts are given out on a first come, first serve basis. Taking ownership makes you liable for issues with the chart and requires you to update it to match our 2025 charting standards. We are grateful to all users who have taken the time to report these issues with Lil Ramen Noodle. While investigating and actioning users is a time-consuming process, we do our best to ensure a safe environment for all our users.

COVER CHALENGE OF THE WEEK TAKE ON ME (A-Ha)

I thought I wrote out a whole routine for you. You want better technique I guess you need a metronome and get your timing down . there Is no instant gratification as satinuke said You have to enjoy and endure the boring stuff to get better I don't know what level you are at but I was 20 years In when I thought F!!! this time to get serious . I went completely back to basics and rebuilt my whole technique A good teacher Is always going to help you progress faster but they are hard to find especially in these days of Every other person on youtube Is trying to sell you their bullshit! I would start here I use to spend 6 hours a day doing this stuff Start with downstrokes 1 note per click maybe 60BPM try to get the metronome click to disappear. then 2,3,4,5,6 notes per click do this also with upstrokes start slow and after a time speed it up do the same with alternate picking on single string up to 10 notes per click Practice this on all strings everyday Trill with the left hand single finger and all finger combinations try for 1 minute on each do a few different combo's a day I run through chromatics most days, I will run though spider exercises when my hands feel stiff Ladders on bass everyday I will run through some scale shapes on most days if I'm really on It I will go through all Interval and numeric combinations, and scale triads seventh's, forwards backwards, up and down Then coils I actually find grinding exercises fun (sick I Know) Oh and I am finally after years starting to crack sweeping, But mainly I'm trying to up my time On RS my sight reading sucks!! my RS plan 1. Championship 2.play through all old Championship songs 3.play all RS1 songs sorted by difficulty all paths 4. Play all bands in collection with over 10 songs and rate by difficulty 5.Play all odlc and dlc from 2014 by difficulty.

Cover Challenge of the week: There are a lot of projects open, i know - so: Finish your covers!!!

Have a nice musweek everyone! Last week I was completely "out of order" and can't play a guitar at all. I was really exhausted and tyred and suffered of my headaches. Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now. I tastes are different but make a guitar CDLC of electronic... Fleetwood Mac - Family Man. Unusual chords. Hard solo. Don't know how to play it. LOL WAT I can't stretch my fingers like that. Slayer - Black Magic. Typical Slayer. Metallica - Master Of Puppets. Comparing new Metallica songs older songs are completely nightmare.

Happy Easter and happy aniversary you beautiful CS players! This week .... 600 (!???) ... for me personally thats almost exactly 11years... if that ain´t insane sxxx... i really don´t know. We got something very very very special for you up and down for us all.... ALL ONLY UNRELEASED SONGS - ESPECIALLY CREATED FOR THAT VERY WEEK I didn´t have to ask long.. after tellong what was my plan it went whooop - Miks and Caca instantly joined in and for bass i wanted to have an BassCDLC Allstar in the boat and so the legend @ JamesPrestonUK did some Stievie W. for us. It was planned for MC but SW went easier on us than expected that time - so bass songs got setup 5 mins ago again... and order should be ok but might be subject to change. I would like to have @ Mikson and @ cacahuate51 to talk about their choices for themselves for me for MC ... i knew MC files are a lot work so many weeks ago i decided to go for some real MC creating some Nita Strauss for us. I have seen her live as the guitarist of Alice Cooper i think 3 years ago... a Shredgoddess with a rhythmheart.... gotta love that. I am not sure about the tones, file shouldn´t be too bad. As always - give us feedback - we will fix all within the week! Second.... for 10 years i was trying to get a CDLC of one of my fav songs of all time - Wanted Man by the Last Internazionale. Saw those guys 10 or 11years back at a festival, afternoon session in the sun.. and totally fell in love with that song... There is no tab whatsoever out there of that. Some wrong chordfiles and AscII fragments only... i tried to chart that 4 or 5 times over the years... now when i had to i might have succeded. Enjoy - i will big time! For COVER Challenge we have maybe the best Pop Song of all times... The verse is more hooking and better than most of the choruses, known by really everyone... C´mon show us your version. There is the original by A-Ha, and also really cool by Reel Big Fish if you wanna start from a more punky vibe... Let´s Roll! Thank you all for being that outstanding comunity! To the next 600 - Yours, Rod.

Just did a quick sightread for the rest, because obviously few artists can match the excitement of the Venga Boys. (Man, I'm gonna have nightmares about that opening with the bus horn )

Rhythm

Well I think I will never get this song higher. I proud I managed to play one solo block. I have a problems with chaining all together but I don't want to trap myself in endless attempts. @ cacahuate51 I place my fingers like this. But it's toooooooo wide for me

MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In all honesty going back a few weeks to talking about practising routines to sharpen up. What do you guys actually do? I'm a bit of a scatter brain here there everywhere and get overwhelmed with so much information especially on youtube. that it's difficult set in stone a practise routine that keeps my scatter brain interested and motivated and that is fun. I know it different for everyone especially with so many styles around but with so many metal lovers here I this might be the fountain of knowledge. Rock ON!

brrrrrr I see Rodman's shredxercise 1 in here

Ohh gotcha I rescind my thanks! Jk glad you brought it back from the dead

Thanks for the week @ Mikson and thanks for charting the Fleetwood Mac song! Wow what a song! Haven't heard this in a long time, awesome music video Good practice for octaves with that open A one to spice it up (3.5) Never heard this one, sounds brand new!! Love it, great practice for the 3-4-2 fingering transition from the A to Am shape barre chords, or whatever rhymes with that, been meaning to do this I think @ jasmith85 had a similar issue last week but my pinky doesn't reliably reach the 7 fret on the 3-5-7 spread so the score is a lil BS (4.5 is probably good)

Whitesnake because why not little better In rhythm but still missed a lot I should of hit

NIce and easy beginner song my attention just wains on these though

Everything you can imagine that it won't be detected - it wasn't detected.

Not sure what happened here, but 1st try - let's go. MCR is a favorite of my daughter and she got me into the them. Christmas gift for the both of us was tickets to see them in Dodger Stadium come July with The Wallows (another favorite) gonna be a blast.

First results of the week: I agree with the ratings. The Vengaboys song is a bit difficult on the wrists because of the duration of the octaves, but it depends on each persons endurance (it felt like 10 minutes). But it was a massive hit on the discos a couple of decades ago Didn't know Ambrosia, but liked the song and the bass line (sometimes I don't really like a song very much, but the bass line is fun to play)

I went off the rails and did a cover of my favorite song from the Championship so far "Get Out Alive" by Three Days Grace, anyone want to do one too I would love to hear it!! This is all I hear when I play back my singing last step is always to lower it a couple dB but was fun making this one

This week was pretty fun, As for the lead, its quite enjoyable to play the clean sounds, but at 95%+ its really hard to keep up or to keep the tempo up. I keep fumbling and theres no catch up on that. Rhythm was alot easier, but not on the wrist, I had to warm it up a bit to get it consistent. But, the pattern repeat over and over again.

BOC yeah, ultra hard with the tech notes

Fatboy slim nice beginner song

This is @ Rodman stuff Ok time for my first scores from testing. Lead. I really enjoy playing this, nice chart. Master! This used to seem harder to me. This definitely a masterclass but we've played harder charts here, so more like 8-8.5 than 9. I'll change that.

SLAYAAAAGGHHH!!! Don't know if I'll get another practice session in, so here is my preliminary score.

Not really tho

guitar 1st tries

So here are my first results for the week (I think the ratings are correct - at least for me )

I've been skipping practice a lot lately... but this one is pretty fun to play with since the song is good and it got nice tone. My left hand ache a bit since i push too hard with my thumb with the bar chords.

I spent another 8 hours or so on Wanted Man. Thx @ cacahuate51 for the input and also the bass extraction. Bass is note per note original now - creating a basschart is such a cool training for the ears, i can recommend to anyone. Lead and Rhythm have been reworked completely. All paths follow the original very closely. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO VERSION 3.3 https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/93760 all scores remain valid of course. Rock, Rod.

Hah... had to rewatch that.. Freakin 20 years (!)

Forgot this one:

This is the highest score of me.

It's great that I managed to win all paths last week, I don't remember the last time I managed to do that, the level of competition has been very high lately I haven't played much this week so far. First Lead scores, tough battle with low tunings. Here, this beginning and ending is more difficult than 3 in my opinion. Fast riff above beginner level. Fun but recognition wasn't kind to me. Nice riffs here. This week, completely opposite to the previous one, there is a song in class that is completely not my style, so I have no chance of winning again Unplayable for me...

What do you do when you got absolutely no time and are behind everything ? That´s right: It felt like i was shy that one. How can i not go butchering that manifest? Can´t... not. Well me on 2 guitarlines, the bass, my daughter doing vocals in 2 takes. First time i programmed the drums in Reaper, some mixing. I especially had a lot of fun with the solo... i wanted to get it really radio-unfriendly, and that didn´t take long. It´s really easy to work on something like that when one exactly knows what to do, and that is not me. Enjoy and tell me what you think- Rod.
