First entry! Hope everyone had as much fun as I did with this one.

Hi guys! I started university last week so i dont rly got much time to play the championship but i really enjoyed watching the tight battles last week sight reads this week: felt more than a 2, maybe its just me my GF kept playing this song over and over so it grew on me, played it a few times before. honesly i love this song, might be my favorite from all the songs this week this is really hard for me, maybe can get gud if I RR the shit out of that string skipping riff oof, rly hard song didn't expect the arrpegios i never learned how to tap, maybe its time lol Thanks @ GeoAbraxas , great week idk if i will have more time this week. the time I do get to play i prefer to learn songs that i like. Hope everybody has an amazing week!

Start this week! Easy Obviously not my style, but this is fun Oh yeah, I rated it 7 and now I'm having problem achieving 80%. Even so, I think this is somewhere between 7 and 8 and I think I had a lot of misses from bad recognition. Solo is beyond ability, but I think 90% is nice

I'll start, first 2 tries on the lead song

Bass advanced. 7. Love this one had to run through rr on a couple of parts. And an update in sa. Still alot I keep missing . But really neglecting the guitars lately, damnn you great bass lines.lol

I'm trying to get a 100% on palaeontology, I get nervous when I'm doing too well....

I feel like playing Judas Priest today...just for fun

Computer Science.. So Im basically just grinding math all day, and idk if it will make you feel better or worse but i started late im almost 26

Sight reads: lead: Is this the song where she was accused of copying someone? I played the pitch-shifted version, didn't like the tone. I'd definitely have to spend some time in rr to get that strange riff. Also, had to play it twice because I forgot to screenshot. The riffs seem straight-forward and the tapping part is kinda slow, but the solo was totally incomprehensible to me. Rhythm: Had to pause during that one, that's probably why the score is lower than accuracy, but idk. Bass: other stuff: @ Anitomer What are you studying? Is partying really more important? Also, I feel old. @ Jakobgreve Dunno how you managed that Death solo, but don't feel too complacent, I will try to win. Also, where you born in 98? I feel old. @ GeoAbraxas Thanks for starting the week. @ Rodman You want some help in updating the rankings? Last week this score of mine was not reflected in the google doc: I'm not sure, but I think it would affect my standing in the ranking. Can it be fixed now, when the week was closed? Also, if @ greven98 and @ Jakobgreve are the same person, shouldn't the scores be merged? If not, can I make an alt account for every class?

Thats ok I will stay in intermediate for now and let @ Rodman have the win . I will have to beat you all from intermediate . Lol @ Mikson @ GeoAbraxas .

Progress: @ greven98 Have you played this song before, or was it a sight read? @ Rodman Since you mentioned competition, I think I should be higher in the bass ranking. Also good point about playing stuff you wouldn't touch otherwise. I definitely would not even look at jpop before this week (not saying I'm gonna listen to it next week, but it does broaden the horizon a bit, and the bass part is fun).

Bass start: Look like a 9 Edit. @ Hyphema Nice synchro

I've never heard of Powerwolf but I am now a new fan and have been listening to them nonstop on my playlist! Thanks for another great week of competition!!

Update on good for u I love this song .yet another to add to my rocksmith spotify playlist . Intermediate lead And a couple goes on Master

Slightly better rhythm score ( @ Daz40 I haven't participated in Rhythm in the championship yet. I would be in either Intermediate or Advanced, probably Advanced really) Got a better on the lead here, just had to get used to jumping to the soloy part.

Felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants with this one, but I made it happen.

Okay, hopefully past week's winners are all updated and good. Here's my updates for this week so far. I'm getting a bit of weird interference with my main guitar, seems to be throwing the note recognition off a tiny bit. Pretty sure it's a loose connection so I think I can tighten these numbers up some. I tried to practice the Soundgarden song but turns out end of the day I don't really like it, so I'll focus on the ones I do. BGM20 good 4 u Vacant Planets

Hi there ! Been doing quite a few of customs these past months, so you can enjoy them I'll try to keep adding them in the sheet. Thanks for all the likes as well @ Rodman I was actually checking on Syncopation last week and I'm very aware that it needs a rework, but those fucking Babymetal tunings will be the death of me It would take too much time to fix the whole song, so sorry for the lack of quality haha Playthrough videos are always welcommed Edit: hopefully I'll rework all of my songs eventually. Everything works better now then 7 years ago haha But I made my 100th CDLC last month, so that might be quite a journey

Haha ! The only version

⁹Lead beginner 2 I really like this song short and sweet Also had a go on master. Do I get red berry. Quick run through intermediate Good 4 u .4 Once you can get the main hook down the rest is ryhthm . Good song I think I may be able to get better with a few more runs . Probably not though

my bad... obviously i missed to upload a screenshot... i was certain i did and what about intermediate bass score? looks like mine is the highest

a dear friens mother passed away today. This is a salute to her

Need to add handshapes to this at some point. Wasn't expecting the tapping part to be on rhythm too, wew. Loads of fun tho, don't mind a bit of death. Bass time. It's a tricky one, surprised this didn't play the tapping part too with how mad it was.

phhhhh

What a week! I came home Sunday to my hot water heater leaking. I had to move my setup and guitars to dry out the carpet and spent the evenings all week replacing the hot water heater, tearing out the cabinets over the hot water heater (because the new one was just and inch too tall), and getting the washer and dryer back to normal. But the good news is I have hot water again, my setup is re-established, and I just downloaded the new songs today and ran through them. What a nice selection!

Last submit for the week

Well, this does complicate things... Still, there's a couple hours left, so I still have a chance I guess.

Found the password for my real account this time xd

another week with various tunings... i found having two guitars is not enough class songs: could not get anything better than that arpeggios are my nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! any tips how i can have it practiced? love this one.... always a note or two i miss though... this is the longest streak i got anyway... other classes: love this one... above my abilities to get reasonable score though.... bass a little bit better than rhythm, could be better if I have more time...

Not my favorite week but I like the advanced song so that works out. Gouge Away is pretty cool, just not all that interesting on bass. In general I don't enjoy easy songs with slides that don't register very well: And this song is nice, I just got into the groove: I played Wild Eyes for like 30 seconds and NOPE. I don't enjoy Japanese pop enough to endure that. As for Powerwolf, I understand why some might like them, but as a native English speaker I find their lyrics and image very cringe-worthy and therefore I can't enjoy a song like Prayer in the Dark. It sounds like the kind of weird "look at me I'm edgy and anti-religion" stuff that appealed to me as a teenager but not as an adult.

It's Halloween season! I hope everyone is doing well as I've known from personal experience the last couple years have been difficult. I just wanted to provide a recap and give everyone some updates: Rocksmith+ has been delayed Donations are no more, Patreon is the only current method to support CustomsForge If you're unable to support us via Patreon - disabling ad-blocker is another method of providing support to CustomsForge. Announcements Server Move With your help via Patreon we've successfully migrated our server to a new location with NVMe drives. Additionally we've split our servers to improve performance. This may take a few weeks to fully optimize but so far it feels better already. Newsletter The newsletter has found multiple delays due to trying to find a replacement method of viewing/displaying it without requiring an advanced editing software and the use of PDF. I've found a solution that I am currently testing and I am hoping to have the newsletter revived before the year is over. YouTube Our YT hasn't launched yet but it is currently on indefinite hiatus until we can find the best way to approach it. For now we highly recommend Chainbrain's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgeE4uJZqmsQBURNPKs9Haw Ignition5 Cancelled, Ignition4.5 is now planned. As of now, ignition5 has been officially cancelled. Migrating our current setup and moving the current features to i5 is too difficult with the lack of developers we have for that project. I plan on working on future improvements and creating the roadmap for Ignition 4.5 as previously planned. I would like to take some current features and rewrite them with the current setup we have now. We still want to release features such as: Ignition4 Profiles This would allow you to see how many CDLC's are in a user's collection, how many cdlcs they've created, etc An area to manage artist and creators you've hidden Notify on new EOF/RSTK releases Updated CDLC page (show what songs have been updated since you've added it to your collection) Email Settings and more features that have been requested by you! Merch With the demand of our shirts we decided to move our limited shirt into a permanent item. You can pick up any merch here: https://merch.customsforge.com/ Knowledgebase I've launched our official knowledgebase which I plan on expanding. You can find these current articles: How to use CDLC Getting started with Ignition4 Discord We're trying to hit the goal of 7 server boosts so we can incorporate discord's new Role Icons. If you would like to support us you can do so via https://discord.gg/cf and select "Server Boost" up top on the drop-down for the server. This is entirely optional and worst case I'll grab all 7 boosts myself, but just in case people want to help MAGFEST We currently plan on attending MAGFEST 2022! I'm still unsure if I am going but I need to decide soon. However our main team will be there with changes due to COVID. More details will come out later as we need to have meetings to figure things out. Wrapping up... I Just want to thank every single person here at CustomsForge. From the staff, the developers, our creators, and members. Thank everyone for supporting us! Keep rocking.

a little bit earlier start this week

Hey guys, new here. I don't see a way to sort or filter by tuning. Could this be added? There's over a thousand pages of CDLC. Edit: Nevermind, I found it!

Rhythm:

These scores are getting amazing nice one.

Hades - God of the Dead pls i love this song and wanna learn to play it on my guitar, especially the first half

Thank you for the alternative but I believe the issue was my vpn not letting me access google drive, everything works fine for me now

bass (7) yeah

it´s a (7), yes

Well, I guess no partying for you then. I was doing CS too, but I dropped out pretty early. Good luck with the math.

Very nice. It all worked out in the end. I admire your patience to back track and do it right. I've always used super glue to stabilize the frets, and have always been tempted by wood glue. Did you give it enough time to cure? Titebond gets really hard when dry. I've heard of people using epoxi resin too... The important thing is that that fretboard is looking really great. Love the grain on the wood. Well done!!!

this package is all the tones from rs1 and rs2014 including all dlc up till Dec 2014 i will update it at the end up the month with the newest dlcs with a separate zip. the main is zip is 1.50 mb so it shouldn't take up much room. unzipped is about 8-9 mb. http://www.mediafire.com/download/d811ur1ra2rkg7d/RS2014_TONES.rar unzip, to a familiar place, import into toolkit in the tones section!! 1,741 tones!!! if i missed any please pm me and let me know i will fix it, sorry if i did miss any there was tons. enjoy!! *mods are welcome to edit this post into a tutorial or however they please, also welcome to add this into the toolkit*

Woohoo! Thank you VERY much. I'll definitely use the Audioslave bass tones for future CDLCs
