@@Rodman I'm going into freebird after week 100 mostly due to school, my goal is to keep these #1 rankings until then... Which btw ive had these for a month today...Woot :D

though my last score is far more interresting regarding the competition... that was a better run: http://i60.tinypic.com/21lj51d.jpg whats left is the solo, and i am not RRing

y.e.s. http://i62.tinypic.com/f8mrq.jpg

A great improvement! http://i.imgur.com/pG7LqHe.jpg

My contribution.... Lead Rythm Bass - interesting song. The bass really defines the groove!

I know its not for the lead but http://oi59.tinypic.com/30t2ycy.jpg My biggest challenge is to play this in MM this week anyway *wink* *wink*

Whoa! So many beautiful scores and new players here. I have no guitar in university dormitory and miss championship a lot... Really need to buy another guitar here.

It is probably too late but: http://i58.tinypic.com/2prwylg.png

Damn 22 bends! Cannot get any of them to register. http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ndl7g6fl5we1w9i/221680_2015-09-05_00003.png?dl=0

I listened to it last week, and i have to say, it's one of the best Maiden albums of the new era, it's head to head with Brave New World, and also we got a song in...Drop D! for the first time hahaha :D And Empire Of The Clouds is an ABSOLUTE masterpiece, 18 minutes of pure opera with the Maiden's touch, just amazing I would give it a 10/10

http://i.imgur.com/U1WL39W.jpg I think I can do 98 on this if I get a run in where I don't completely botch the solo, but I'm so sick of this song. You win this one, Azrael!!

Master mode for master class: http://i.imgur.com/ZkFCmgX.jpg A bit of a struggle. Totally forgot the details of the most complicated riff (the one in the verses at 3:20-3:40ish, maybe a bit more), and also missed a few of the transitions between different parts. But I didn't strike out by my second attempt, so, I'm happy with that. With that said, what are people's thoughts on the new album? I haven't listened to too much of it yet, since Riverside was a bigger priority for me (and fucking awesome. On their more mellow/emotional side), but I'm really liking what I'm hearing so far - might be my favorite album of theirs since the 80s once all is said and done. A lot of music to digest today, as I haven't listened to the Amorphis at all yet, either!

Hi everyone, here are my scores for the week: Advanced: Lead: 97.75 % The solo is simply impossible for me, but I like the song :-) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=512275833 Rhyhtm: 90 % http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=512275675 Bass: 98.3 % Such a funky song, but such a boring bass... Though I have to admit that I probably didn't get most of it right^^ http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=512275537

I figured it might be easier to start from scratch rather than fix whatever's gone wrong with the note detection on Domination, so here's a test version I made that's bass only at the moment. Still some other changes I want to make, but I played through it and I think only had 1 miss on the verses, and none on that crazy trill thing before the last verse (which usually knocked me down a few score multiplier checkpoints). Sadly, my fretting hand dexterity is otherwise remarkably awful today, so I still haven't beaten the score from the playthrough video I did a few days ago (and was alluded to above). If there are recognition problems on guitar I can try to whip something up for that as well. @@then3verend - this should help in your quest for master mode, I hope! It also has fewer sections, though I think still enough to practice to.

Bass Path - Angie - 94% - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=512994004 "You got Spirit , Kid" I couldn't even play. It sounded so badly out of tune that I couldn't play for more than a few minutes. I double checked that I wasn't just missing a bunch of notes. *shrugs*

Haha :D Yeah I started working on it last night for 6 hours. Then when I woke up today for another 4 hours :') I was very happy that I got the tones pretty good on the first testing round. Saved me a lot of work.

Holy crap, i wanted to do it as soon as the tabs were out, but i think you won me haha :D Glad to see it anyways!

I love Matt Barlow's Iced Earth era and this had an easy groove and was fun to play. Also love LP and most of their songs are beginner but this song was a little unexpected that needed a few tries for me at the end to get >90%. Good songs this week! http://i.imgur.com/pEk3xyql.jpg http://i.imgur.com/X2XlAhKl.jpg

Empire of the Clouds is finished :) Will add the vocals after the weekend. And I'm making an extra lead arrangement for it. which will have both solo's and the most fun riffs. http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/empire-of-the-clouds-r16837

Hi CFSM developers, I am extremely pleased with your beautiful software which, in it's initial release, is already very impressive! Thank-you sooo much! You guys addressed everything I wanted! So I tested the CFSM 1.0.0.2 Song Manager, Duplicates and Renamer tabs Although they do everything I could possibly want and although I can happily live with no improvements made, I figured you'd like to hear some opportunities for refinement that you are free to ignore. I know not every cares like me about renaming so some points are more a wishlist than issues. Song Manager tab: Questions: - What is the "STATUS" column? - The four optional settings to display Ignition information have nothing outputted in those columns for any of the 2000 songs in my collection. Is this meant for later? What are these fields? High Priority: - I thought one of the main features of the song manager was to alert the user when a newer version of a CDLC he/she downloaded has been uploaded. Either my vigilance is perfect and my library is fully updated or I have failed to notice how to be alerted. I imagined that the Version number would turn red or something when a CDLC has been superseded. Medium Priority: - Wold be great if when selecting songs we could hold CTRL to multiple select or SHIFT to select a range of CDLC. Ex: Just downloaded 60 songs which I selected for renaming but had to select them 1 at a time in the "Select column" - Many CDLC in the "Author" column show either "N/A" or "Custom Song Creator". What is the difference between "N/A" and "Custom Song Creator"? Would be nice to find a way to show the real author. Perhaps this is based on Toolkit's feature of inserting author name into the CDLC? If so it's unfortunate there is no easier way to tell who the author is since it is a rather important field when managing one's library. - In the updated column some CDLC dates precede RS2014. ACDC-Back In Black by user N/A shows 7-14-2003 (?) Low Priority: -remember user's preferred column widths, based on previous usage - Just to avoid any confusion I'd show the version number of CDLC to 1 decimal place. If we see an integer we can't help but wonder if we have an old version. Duplicates tab: High Priority: - When I select a duplicate and click "delete selected" button it does one of 3 things: works like a charm repopulates the duplicates list with stuff I've already deleted or moved manually, which only corrects if I rescan crashes the program Medium Priority: - If the list of duplicates cannot all fit in one page, there is no way to scroll down or up the list. Must eliminate duplicates and rescan to get to the previously inaccessible duplicates. Low Priority: - When I select a song and click "Move selected" it simply reparses the entire /dlc folder and places the selected songs in a folder /dlc/duplicates (I had to look for where they went. Perhaps the software can show where they will move and perhaps the user would benefit being able to choose where to move the files) - The time stamps in the "Updated column" show dates that precede Rocksmith 2014. Something screwy there. Renamer tab: Questions: Should we refrain from renaming ODLC? High Priority: -When doing a batch rename of 60 songs I just downloaded, with the following template: \\NEW\\<artist>-<title>-<author>-v.<version>-RS2014PC-RR-<dd>-Lead,Rhythm,Bass,Vocals-Estd-ACESHIGH whatever songs had version set to N/A in the Song Manager tab was moved to a sub-directory of NEW. Ex: /dlc/NEWBruce Springsteen-Dancing in the dark-N. In it resides another subdirectory called "A-N". In it resides a psarc file called: A-RS2014PC-RR-_dd-Lead,Rhythm,Bass,Vocal-Estd-ACESHIGH_p.psarc Medium Priority: - Save renamer settings. Ex: \\NEW\\<artist>-<title>-<author>-v.<version>-RS2014PC-RR-<dd>-Lead,Rhythm,Bass,Vocals-Estd-ACESHIGH Would be nice if we didn't have to type the above every time we restart the program. - Would be nice to not have files being renamed to be located in the /dlc folder. Example, if we wish to keep that directory clean with only ODLC and have CDLC in subdirectories, then it would be useful to allow the user to enter the path of the files to be renamed, ex: /dlc/NEW Low Priority: - wondered a bit if when check-marking "Rename only the songs that are selected in Song Manager" if I had to click "Rename all" to get the process going. I got really panicky that click "Rename all" button would rename the thousands of other songs I had already renamed to my liking. I guess I would change the label in the button to "Rename" instead of "Rename All" - Would be nice if we could have other "Usable Properties" to append in the renaming template. Example: <Arrangements>, <tuning>, <AppID>, <ScrollSpeed>, <No tone>. Example, my naming convention for songs is as follows: Accept-BallsToTheWall-Chlipouni-v.2.2-RS2014PC-RR-DD-Lead,Rhythm,Bass,Vocals-Estd-ACESHIGH_p.psarc No comments on Setlists since I haven't ever really used setlists yet. Again, these are just things that I think would make this amazing software a tiny bit more sleek. But you've worked hard enough and it's time to relax. Feel free to ignore everything since it's nothing that a bit of manual touch-ups can't fix. Cheers! You guys rock!!

I found 6.5 minutes spare Bass ADV: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=512832428 And it shall never be played again... The end.

The thing saying you got gold is blocking your % accuracy, which is what we really need. Still got about an hour and a half to get a screenshot of that, though! @@dreddfoxx - Welcome to the championship! Pretty good for a sight-read with an unfamilar song!

@@dreddfoxx Welcome!

@a.peter Thanks for reporting issue. I am able to reproduce. Will fix in next release.

Iron Maiden Lead improved - at last over 97% :)

*Looks at leaderboard and scoring for previous weeks* But if we're tied going into week 100, that makes it practically impossible for me to win once week 90 comes off the boards! @@Rodman - Nice job!

Where are you guys finding GP tabs for these songs already? I won't necessarily throw my hat into the ring with making ones off of the new album given time constraints, but I haven't seen anything.

Working on Empire of the Clouds. Should be done today. 18 damn epic minutes.

I had almost no time to play this week unfortunately. I think this was my blind run through from Sunday since it's the only screenshot I have, and I know I didn't get a chance to run through score attack. I did go through a few sections in RR afterward, but nothing during the week. I might try to get some time in tomorrow morning, but it's probably more likely that I just sleep in. From what I remember, it was a lot more interesting to practice in RR after this screenshot than it was to play through in full. I really like the song, but the bass line was just not much fun to play. I might still go back to it at some point though, as it seemed like good practice for playing faster and maintaining a groove (not to mention endurance at almost 7 minutes long). http://i.imgur.com/zXUYe5Z.jpg

Working on a "titanic" track. Hopefully it'll be done tomorrow. ;) :D

"1. Copyright laws never had as main intention to protect the artist" Do a little research on copyright law history and you'll find that you are absolutely 100% wrong about this. And you also clearly are not a lawyer. No lawyer would make the claims that you have and mistake copyright for trademark as you just did. There's a reason why it's illegal in the US to practice law without being an actual licensed attorney. Incorrect legal advice is dangerous.

Far too late but at last there'll be an official chart for Progressive music. Read more about that here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34127025

Added Popup to ask if user wants to set new ID's or keep it safe Fixed RS1 to RS2014 converter for PC platform Altered write comments function so now we write comments inside node Allowed Scroll Speed values lower than 1.0 up to 0.5, still not perfect progression for DD, but should be ok for NDD arrangements. Eye-candy and Sugar for usability here and there.

The short answer is probably no, unless somebody else writes that program logic. In the mean time, you can use Shrubbery's Tux Guitar build, which has GPX support: http://customsforge.com/topic/2235-guitar-pro-5/?do=findComment&comment=11971 You can then simply open the GPX file in Tux Guitar, save it as GP5 and use it in EOF.
