nice head banger for a Saturday morning! Really got into it on this one another good tune!

Those arpeggios... Difficult in the sense of low tuning... vary bad recognition in my case... I feel like playing the song much better, but score does not reflect it....

The ratings may be slightly different in the end, because I didn't thoroughly testing all the paths in all the songs (especially the bass paths), but overall everything should be in its place. Of course, you can comment if something seems wrong. Have a great week and Happy Easter!

the intro reminds me of 'cowgirl in the sand' and I like it

Cant get by the incidental errors.

@ Mikson Thanks for chosing the song! I'll try to give it a shot soon. If i rated it an 8 that probably means I personally can't play it (probably near close to 80% ball park ) but i know there are harder songs out there (aka songs where i get 60 or less and those i would consider 9 or higher) *note it will most likely be higher than what we usually play (since lately those ive been getting 90 95s) as an 8 so I understand why you bumped it up. So more of what i wish 8s were rather than what it is but understand why its not like that. It's also been awhile but after replaying it on spotify if i remember correctly its like a more complex version of the rhcp song higher. maybe flea got inspired /dumbed it down? who knows.

lost a few points trying to sing along

I used the Postimages. I hope it goes well. Oh, it's a impossible song...!

It's better now.

Guitar improvements I tried again but I wasn't able to make it better. Yes, 6 is the right diff rating. What's not good about this is that the score is determined by the part with the quick chord jumps between the 10th and 13th frets. Up to this point I'm playing with over 95% accuracy and this part is ruining my score... I can't even improve my first score from testing Slight improvement, I need to practice these chord licks.

Bass Really fun chart, like it! My fingers are not ready for GoB yet, but I'm still waiting for GoB score from @ cacahuate51 who suggested it for the championship and rated only 8, so it doesn't have to be very difficult for you

sorry for the late reply, but yes I meant the volume of the acoustic, so you're already answered. Tones for lead / solo are pretty good! You are definitely an expert in creating CDLCs just a little upgrade, but I'm bad on the solo sightreading I've also tried (but not finished) Convergence (Rhythm). That's a neat and tight song, I dig into the riffs. Good pick @ Bottledpat12 ! I will use that as a workout and in the meantime enjoy the musicality of it!

No, because this is a different CDLC, the old one that was played in week 249 is no longer available on Ignition.

Still too difficult. But I could "tune" my bass so it recognizes most notes on the E string

better.

34 years in and I still struggle with Guitar . But found Bass really easier to get into In the last year..

i think funhouse is a capo week song isnt it?

Whis week is over! Thank for competing! New week started here:

I'm currently creating a new championship week, it will start in about an hour!

Yes, in the rhythm path the acoustic tone was even less clear because I used a different tone than in the lead. Previously it didn't bother me much, but now I use different headphones where I can barely hear the tone, so I made version 1.1 where I set the same tone for lead and rhythm and turned up the volume a bit. Available for download in the same folder.

Thankyou for your help @ Daz40 and @ BubbleWrapDragon I definitely need to practice more outside of rocksmith! When I started playing bass I picked it up really quickly and playing it felt like second nature, but I'm struggling with guitar and I feel so awkward when I play.

I really need to work on my strumming patterns for lead and rhythm, I really struggle with up strokes! does anyone has any advice that would help?

Oh Baby! What a song.

oh yes - waay better

bass

Tough call. As you mention, once you get the main picking pattern down scores should jump up (since the bulk of the song is the same pattern).

I haven't played the rhythm one yet, but the Lead one has similar things happening, with like 5-7-10 which I can reach with index, middle, pinky but 3-5-9 is definitely impossible for me too. My guess is that either the guitar players really have huge hands or they play it differently from the transcription and 3-5-9 is 3-5-x-4 instead skipping the D string, which would go for most other big reaches as well. I'm advanced and suck at it too. It looks quite learnable to me and compared to my rank up song and other similar songs in that score range I think 5.5/6 is a good score - Just sometimes songs have arpeggios/patterns that we have to learn first but then they get easy Any intermediate player who is able to get 99%+ this week definitely belongs to advanced I think. I can't tell if it should be in int or adv. But maybe a song like this is perfect to be in both categories at once? So both classes can compete in it (Might be a good idea for more songs in the future toothat have scores like that too - I'm not tempted too much to grind a good score at a class that's lower than my own) One caveat might be that I don't know how Rodman's Ratings would be affected by this, but in general if it's 5.5 it should be still good for adv. bonus as well? ---- For me, I should probably nail the Backstreet boys song well and it'd be good practice. But I'm so tempted on focusing on the MC song instead because that solo looks like a great challenge that's learnable (Maybe not quick enough in a couple of days but we'll see) === First plays of the week

Improvements (and the right version of BsB ) I don't know if it's my resilience or some notes not getting recognized... But through the comments discovered and tried RSMods, so I'm using the mod to show the note played and see if it helps And many thanks to all the community for the hard work , dedication and good vibes

Hmm, this was more of a 6.5 or higher for me. Also gettin poor note recognition, gonna try a different guitar.
