Mikson

And Bass I'll give this a 6 instead of 5.5 though because that final part is really tricky (you have to read the chart quickly to hit the right frets).

Rhythm

Lead scores Easy and nice to play for beginners, I don't think this is more than 3-3.5. The only difficulty is the quick chord change in a few places but these are basically basic chords. This is quite easy, but tricky because the chart is quite diverse and relies more on playing guitar licks than anything riff/rhythmic. This surprised me, what a fun cover to play! Nice chart, but the guitar notes start quite late so I added this as a bonus. A beautiful melodic song by Gary.

Improvements

And Bass

Rhythm Too easy for 7.5.

Hi! I'm back! I saw earlier that @ Rodman mentioned his extraordinary cycling journey, and I can say that a few days ago I returned from a trip during which I reached the summit of Mount Ararat. A great trip to distant lands! After returning I even thought that I hadn't missed any championship week, because the current one started strangely on Thursday, but I saw that the previous one started on Sunday, an unusual situation Anyway, I'm posting the first screenshots, in fact I tested the songs inter and adv a long time ago.

Score attack I'll be away on a trip next week, hopefully I'll be back before the end, but I might miss championship week for the first time since joining...

Rhythm time

Lead I watched 28 Days Later so long ago that all I remember is that it was a zombie movie And the song is atmospheric. Short but juicy, cool riffs. Another interesting Japanese chart, unfortunately I cannot register harmonic notes here. That's interesting, this song doesn't seem like Godsmack I know! This reminds me more of Tool, maybe an inspiration? Anyway, good song.

Interesting week! This time I'm testing the bass at the beginning to see if @ cacahuate51 underestimated the difficulty again I'm surprised this is 3 because this is basically moving around the frets on one string. For me max 2.5. So I give a lower rating probably for the first time Interesting chart, calmer beginning, stronger later. I would give 5.5 but 5 is also ok. This is the only song this week where I completely disagree with the rating. Definitely harder for me, we have to quickly change frets and then play riffs. Strong 6.5, close to 7. This wasn't really hard for me. I think this was closer to 8, because of the length and rather complex chart, but I was able to achieve a good score on first attempt, so I would be able to accept 7.5 as well. And besides, this was fun to play

Bass Score Attack These slides to the 1st fret are uncomfortable. This time I played this with a pick and it was easier to play than with my fingers. This was really fun to play.

Score Attack

Improvement

White Lion - Tell Me I like this sound, the song is quite difficult on guitar due to the complex chart, full of technical licks.

Maanam - Szare Miraże A classic of Polish rock from the 80s. I think every song by this band I've played is fun to play, especially the bass line that stands out.

Olivia Rodrigo - ballad of a homeschooled girl Normally I wouldn't listen to this, but every time a song by this artist appears in the championship, it's fun to play. I'm starting to be her fan, championship magic

Time for all the test results. I'll sort them by song. Sum 41 - Walikng Disaster Fun song, not too difficult technically but demanding in terms of stamina due to a lot of strumming.

No, no! We played another song from this band in the championship This https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/55822

I've never tried this but if I understand correctly it will only work for open strings. Referring to this week's song with the capo at the 1st fret, with the pitch shift up half a step the open strings should register as 1st fret so that's correct. But for example the note at the 5th fret won't be correct and you'll have to play it lower which can be difficult to play from the chart.

If you don't have one, you can make it yourself at home In general, the vast majority of the chart can be played without a capo, it is only needed for a few notes.
