i must confess.. i didnt tune to f# i used a capo instead for all the paths. and yea japanese players are always on another lvl

Finally found time. Winners list updated and Players put to their classes: Congrats all winners and esp. @ Amisslamb44 to the instant uplevel to Adv with the 99+ win If anyone wants to be put in another class just tell us!

First scores for this week!!

Start this week I would give this 3.5 and I agree that this is suitable for beginners, but regardless of the player's level this is very difficult to get 99% here, unless someone has no problems recognizing bends and long slides. It's worth adding that the alternative lead is the same chart, but with a capo on the 2nd fret and in E-Std tuning, so I think that the scores from this should count, because, for example, I prefer to put on a capo rather than tune guitar in F-Std. @ Rodman Nice song, chill and pleasure to play. This is really difficult to achieve a high score, although I rated it 7, maybe I would give 7.5 now, but no more. When I play it, it doesn't sound bad, but missed too many notes in the arpeggios or bends in the riffs. Wtf, why do Japanese songs usually seem impossible to play for the average guitarist?

First results (after replacing my vintage strings because one of them broke last week ) I tried the next one but couldn't keep up

I'm so sorry. I was a new participant and couldn't read English. Next time I will try the ADV class. thanks

Got to play with my new pitch box for the f# tuning.I'm just a casual player so I went with this cheap mooer pitch box over the digitech drop cause it was literally 1/10 the price and it lets you shift up as well. Seems to do what its supposed to do quite well for $35. I dont notice any latency which was my biggest concern. There is a certain synthy sound that isnt really noticed in the mix but I think all pitch shifters do have that to a certain degree. Very handy tool for me since most of my basses are short scale and don't like detuning. End ad.... Does it muddy the waters to post scores from other classes? I believe I'm in intermediate but I like to try them all. Exploratory runs....

Nice songs this week. Hopefully can improve on the below:

@ Rodman The list of winners is a bit unusual. There are participants who won in two classes at the same time, this is probably due to the fact that these are new participants without an assigned class. This players should be assigned to specific classes because it gets messy.

@ gamestab - not to forget: Great that you are here!!! Keep posting songs to the SSL and please keep giving feedback on the diffs. Make yourself comfortable and if you think the CS is a place for you to stay you might consider joining the orga team for selection and week starts. Rock! Rod.

oh yes - a hard one for the masters.. you can argue (8.5) but i think its more a legit (9)er

I Would give personal jesus 5.0 difficulty because of the tuning and tone darkness sympathizer i would give 6.5-7.0 this one is fast and pretty hard to hear the guitar (maybe because the tuning is not 440 but can also be because of the volume of the tone)

wonderful adv song (7)

surprised this classic from depeche mode hadnt gotten chosen in the 547 weeks! i think the solo / last half makes this one of the hardest intermediate leads ive played in a long time! pretty cool. kinda dissapointed there was no path with chords altho tbf im not sure if its actually a guitar doing the chords or the catchy simple melody i think this ones bass path is alot more easy than the fleet wood one im not too good with arps..and i think itd be nice if it had some hand shapes even if it is mostly just the d chord/ variations. but yea pretty challenging for me atleast

There is no need to be sorry. You did nothing wrong. Getting a class promotion is an occasion to celebrate! If you think that ADV is too much of a challenge for now, you can always appeal the promotion. Or drop down later. Don't worry, just play & post scores.

First impression is more like a 7.5+ to me, dozens of parts and 6 minutes long but we'll see. I'll practice it for an hour each day

damn hard

thanks! and im still learning more about how it works , and i will keep posing songs

also a hard one (8-8.5)

(5) is too high: it´s one riff only with the one bend the E String. You could argue (3.5) fur the non beginner tuning and for it´s rather fast. But (5) means you master that and you advance to Advanced Class, and you got one whole week. In comparison to our library it feels an ok challenge for beginners if they make the 99 over the week they make it to Int class - that´s somehow the (3) definition. Darkness sy - hard to rate a bit... yes (6.5 - 7) is a valid rating also. From my POV the rhythm is damn fast and very hard to make sound right, i take that into account esp. in Rhy path - so i´d go (7.5) Rod

easier mc rhy here (7-7.5)

way easier when you can use open strings... still missed to register so many bends (3)

nice relaxing rhy there (3)

excuse my performance, a 10-hour trainride and after that lack of sleep seems to be bad for guitar playing... also cool on rhy (7)

very cool. starts like a bassline. (5)

skipped tuning cause of course i will manage to transpose on the fly - yes.no. cool song (3)

had to start with that one hmm... fun story about that. That´s my own cdlc. After spending 2 days on creating it i found out that the song has recently been published as ODLC which was not yet listed in ignition.... so that´s my very personal jesus
