at least i beat my old score

Thank you guys for your feedback about ratings!!! Actually this week offers a good example about ratings for me. The Hives-Bogus Operandi has a very similar chart for guitar an bass, and yet the rating for guitar is 5 and for bass is 6, and they even belong to different classes. And when you play each path the ratings are consistent with the difficulty you would expect for each class in guitar and bass. --- As you see, for PPC-Cornflake all paths are quite similar. I had it clear that for bass would be 7,5, meaning is above the highest difficulty in advace bass (from my experience), but too predictable to be 8. For me, the lead part was advance, but I rated it 6, since it lacked a difficult solo and I thought it is not difficult enough to get a promotion... My real problem was actually how to rate the rhythm, and now I understand from both of your ratings that if you play the same thing in lead and rhythm, you should rate it the same. My theory was that if it lacks a difficult solo in lead, the rating would be lower for lead than rhythm, but maybe I was wrong and you should rate it the same because it is the same instrument... --- By the way, I had been thinking about this for a while, and I want to propose we create a new thread about "Songs added to the SSL", in which we announce the songs we added (which I am curious to know), and we can have this kind of discussions about ratings IN ADVANCE, so that we have many more songs that are tested, and we all become better at rating and have a common understanding about it. When adding songs to the SSL, I always have many doubts (as everything in life!) and wanted to discuss that, but felt that there was no place to discuss the ratings... What do you think???

slow progress!

Latest scores rhythm Lead Not happy with how terrible I am at lead needs a lot of work

really tuff competition this week. Doesn't look like I have a chance of getting in the top 3 when it comes to lead, so I'm gonna focus on this. Maybe I'll try the bass path. Also, I haven't heard of this band outside of the championship, but every song by them we that play turns out to be a lot of fun. Thanks guys, I wouldn't have found them myself. EDIT: looks like the mods got tired of reading all of my posts. Doesn't make a difference to me to be honest.

Bass I don't know how it happened, but I probably played lead and rhythm here during testing, and assessed the bss diff visually. Now I played bass path for the first time and it seems more difficult than 6, but maybe it's because of the bends and slides that are difficult to recognize.

I also think Lead and Rhythm could be treated differently from each other I think a good way to think about it is that rhythm players are expected to be better at complex chords and strumming patterns than a Lead player of the same skill. So when a song has complex chords it's a little harder for a lead player to play well on the first try, but a Rhythm player has an easier time with it. Meanwhile, solos/ and more complex riffs might be a little harder for a Rhythm player to play well the first time or in general I was thinking about something like that as well, I wouldn't want to host a week, but I wouldn't mind playing a few more songs throughout the week and giving them a diff. rating now and then. Having a discord or something like that might work too, automatically posting new entries to the server wouldn't be too difficult either and any person could just react to the song with numbers emoji from 1-9 difficulty. Could be also nice to chat about some things more easily. But having only this place for the championship community might have more advantages and is way less work to maintain. I'll see what I can do

A toast for @ nlbsmglsk becoming free again!!! If I could I would go to Poland to throw a party for you inviting all the guys here!!! Good score, by the way!!

Rhythm improvement @ aNDESmASAMUNE I just noticed this, but I think @ Rodman mentioned it earlier. I don't know why you rated lead as 6 and rhythm as 7.5 in this song, if it's almost the same chart. Both 6.5 for me.

I thought Rhythm would be the same as Lead but the end through me off

quick improvement I just need more practice on the second riff and learn how to finger that F#Maj7 chord (I was trying to barré it, but now I think using all 4 fingers might be better for me)

You're quite good at it already though, I think you could 99%+ this with some more practice (99% at a higher class should be eligible for a rank-up as well?) -- Meanwhile, my first try of the day is not looking quite as good, but I'll keep going at it

yea i agree, when it comes to slides /bends it almost always makes it harder to 100% on rs . I am kinda surprised you got more than 99% on bass and not on lead and rhythm though.. isnt it basically the same ?

well... microscopic 0.22 points improvement (with a sh*tty streak and score)

I improved my score.

Generally, I think that if the chart in guitar and bass paths is the same or very similar (2 such cases this week!), difficulty rating for the bass is about +1 compared to the guitar. But these are my feelings, because I find it more difficult to play the bass when there are some fast riffs, slides, turns, etc. That's why in the song The Hives I rated guitar 5 and bass 6, although there are so many slides and bends that it could even be 6.5/7. This is a very interesting observation. A lead chart is generally supposed to be made more difficult by riffs, solos etc., so I can understand that the same chart might have a slightly higher difficulty rating for a rhythm path than lead. I have serious doubts that this thread will be alive and there will be activity in it, but maybe I'm wrong. But it's an interesting idea, so more participants would have to comment.

Bravo!! Well done! I think won't have time to improve it tomorrow but you go for it, man!

I see your suggestion for pierce the veil but it doesnt look like it was inputted properly or in the right format.

better

Some new improved scores!! I'm really struggling with this weeks bass songs , RS has trouble recognising my slides and bends on the hive song. I've managed to get a bit better on GOB! My fingers definitely know it was 30 mins long!!

This is above my class, so whatever I achieve here I am happy. How come I get a better score in this song than in The Hives??? Need to overcome my "recognition impairment"!!!

Trying the bass for the week

Someome plz tell me. I requested two songs. But they are not requested collectly in the excel page. I surely use request page. I'm sorry but I don't know the reason.

And that will be why it will have hit me. I must have read your reply and not fully taken it in thinking I would read properly when I got home….but subliminally it must have stuck in my brain. Thank you once again

lil + lead

nice beg

　CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!!! YEEEAAAAHH!!! I am very glad everyone is enjoying playing the songs all around the globe!!! And I am absolutely amazed that in just two days there are such high scores and fierce competition in Lead MC!!! OK, so I should join as well!! Here we go!! ---- static X - the only // I also would totally think this is a Korn song! And I like Korn anyway, so I like it. I think Korn uses C standard (or maybe C#) tunning as well. I have in my "save" list some other songs of this band, which I discovered in CF.

This is a difficult song. I requested some songs for championship. I hope someday my song will be chosen.

Thanks for hosting this week's championship! And thanks for adding e standard version. My guitar can't play C standard.

had to try the masterclass song cause it sounded like el mariachi / pierce the veil bullin the bronx solo. barely made it!! but im glad i was finally able to survive in score attack mode.

First attempt blind, never heard either song. Need a lot of improvement.

reminded me alot of korn, i dig the outro the most lol. slides powerchords dont register for me too well tho seems kinda similar to the only song that i know from them tick tick boom (i prefer that one is more catchy for me ) but the guitar part on this one grew on me and now i keep playing it . so thanks for adding them this week, might check their other stuff aswell im not sure if this song has already been in competition before (i know other songs from them have) regardless, i used to play this song quite a bit! Its been a while (got 90s first eye sight so had to rr it for a while) and my pinky has been abandoned for some time, so its good to adopt it again.

What a stretch this chord is

Looks like a fun riff to learn/play

Similar start to last week's 5* song, but I think this week I can 99%+ it
