New championship week will start sometime at night, because I haven't started any tests yet, so you can still fight this week or rest

Improvements This is not hard, I'd rate this a 5. Unfortunately I have some lag here so I keep getting random misses. This is enough, because trying to achieve more is unnecessary nerves... Good chart to play.

Bass

Rhythm

Ah, this is really sick madness, these solos are abnormal! I'm surprised I got over 80% here.

A little less time lately, but it should be better. Lead This repeated opening riff is quite problematic. I would give a 5.5-6 diff because of this. I've had the chance to play this in the championship before. First time since then and a little better. I was a bit surprised by the tapping part that wasn't tapping.

Late bass Screen from the previous week when we played this too. The best chart of this week!

Some time to play rhythm path.

To be honest, this kind of chart is not very difficult for me (although it is demanding). Since the beginning of my adventure with Rocksmith, I've played a lot of Pink Floyd songs - this chart is not quite in that style, but there are a lot of similarities. Here I would get over 90% if the recognition was better - many slides were not accepted.

I'm back after a few days away. Of the songs this week, I've played all of them before, except for Death. But that was a long time ago. This is more 8 than a 9. Difficulty overrated like last time.

This is absolutely not 9! Considering the hardest part (solo) I would rate this 7, max 7.5. I believe @ jellisjenius suggestion and difficulty ratings were for the entire Powerslawe album (played in weeks 500-503), not the song of the same name. @ Rodman please change diff to at least an 7,5-8 to keep the ratings accurate - as a 9 we played some really hard songs. Rhythm is a bit more difficult - it has an arpeggio part and a more difficult solo than the lead path. I think this is 8.

Much better

Ah this is moderately fun to play. Basically just chords and a very short solo. Plus, this is an old CDLC with slow scrolling, which makes it hard for me to feel the notes. I have a slight feeling that these suggestions of Steel Panther songs are some kind of trolling from @ nlbsmglsk

I was at the Rammstein concert yesterday - what a show! I don't know how much time I will have this week, for now I'll post scores of the songs I played earlier for testing. This is my suggestion, not some @wild ffassda, probably someone made a joke in the song suggestion sheet lol.

It's generally good now. New weeks usually start later in the evening. But in case when new week starts earlier (around 19:00 like this week) I would give at least an extra hour to publish scores.

I don't like when new weeks start so early. @ Rodman I think a lot of people have time to play saturday evening, so it's good to give them more time. Probably too late but I'll show the guitar improvements.

No wonder here, you don't need to have 100% hit notes for a section to be marked green as perfect. 1 miss generally does not take away a perfect section unless the section has few notes.

Bass

Tapping killed me The rhythm went better. Overall a nice interesting song. I need to look at this album.

Rhythm Fewer slides than in the lead track, so it's easier to get high accuracy. 4.5 5.5-6

Quick tests of the guitar paths, except for the MC, because I don't currently have a C# Std set and forgot to do pitch shift. Lead first. Regarding this song, I think 4 might be ok, but it's a very thankless chart for championships. Regular misses on the slides make it difficult to get a high score here. But I understand that it is difficult to find a good chart for beginner class in themed weeks. Good song, Foo Fighters never go below a certain level. Diff 4.5 is ok. I've played this before when I tested Metallica songs after releasing their new album. Unfortunately, I have to admit that none of the new songs really blew me away and the whole album is just ok for me. In general, apart from old releases (before 1990), I'm on the Iron Maiden side

I tried this again after a while and remembered those terrible tapping I managed to improve my score, but in general, although it is not a quick tapping, I have problems with keeping my fingers on the 2-6 and 5-9 frets.

L&R improvements. I had to lower music volume to 50% to hear something from my playing, but it helped.
