This is my first time entering the championship, looks fun. I just saw Octavarium was one of this week's songs so here's my score This was my second run, I could probably do a tiny bit better but 20 min is long... haha

I see what you are saying, I guess it comes down to the technique. I'm perhaps a better pick player, but I am really a beginner on fingerstyle, pops, slaps, etc. I really should break it all down and work on that style, but bass isn't really my passion. (however learning fingerstyle on guitar is on my list) I play bass to help me understand the song structure and because it challenges my "melody first" mindset. My point is that I'm impressed because you hold your own utilizing a much harder technique and you deserve props for that! And I occasionally feel guilty because you can beat my scores on the occasion that you use a pick, but I couldn't touch your scores without one. Of course none of that means I'm going to go easy on you this year.

Ok, man. Lets try it out.

phh... hard way up here i´ll go for the 90 as target

It's very easy to tell I have some lag issues after playing Future People. I have to hit the note just slightly prior to the note actually hitting my string, resulting in a perfect played note rather than good or late. I have always seemed to have a difficult time with this setting in the game (whether to increase or decrease the lag setting number). Any tips on making this easier to get it right would be helpful. I often wonder if it is in the created song version or if it is lag? When I hear the song (or any song) I can tell when I should be playing the note to stay in rhythm and that would fit in a the right moment. I can tell when I play some songs that it is way off, and its not me. So I guess what I'm asking, "Is there anything that can help with the lag setting in the game"? The little light does not seem to help me lol!!! And with the lag setting incorrect it affects my score attack scores. .pdf

a fingered sightread on the lovely Vektor Boys

Anyone else have a customized loft? If so post some pics here. Im trying to find info on editing the .nif files, Nifskope can edit the nifs but it causes RS to crash. Anyone know of a way to do this? Also trying to change the fonts if anyone has any input.

The first attempts on Lead:

I'm getting better at playing the bass, and better at finding the picture url. This song was not that hard... I even tried the "intermediate". And this time it is not that impossible (wondering why last week at the same level for both intermediate and advanced (7)). Though when playing the second, I was wondering... Why did I ever buy a bass with more than one string? And here thinking about the discussion I had about why not change strings instead of wanking the bass. But on the other hand, if the song was made using different strings, it would have been much easier, so now I have an excuse for practicing my hand movements.

Ah c'mon. Look at last years leaderboard. You won against me and you won the adv class! And you won by a ton. You are the better bass player. There is nothing bad about picking the bass, i just have decided a long time ago that bass means fingerpicking practice exclusively for me as i like that style a lot. As you say last weeks adv song was special when it comes to scores. Rock!

Mannnnn My hand was cramping so hard after this one! Guess I don't play enough bar chords. Wanted to try the lead on this one because it sounded fun.

one try bass

also here, hard progress work

Nice one mate! I hope I can get 96% but those sweep arpeggios get me every time

Ehhh not a big fan of this. I know I can do much much better but I just don't like the song, so this is gonna be it for MC A bit of an improvement, finally could reach 95%. I'll try to push for 96%

Hello! First of all, thank you for creating more Chevelle CDLC's - I am a huge fan of this band! Would you be so kind as to provide me with any information on where your progress is currently at? Doesn't have to be anything specific, I am just extremely happy to play those songs in the future :). Keep up the good work!
