As you can see above I was beaten by @ jellisjenius . If I won, I'd consider a promotion, in which case no. If Jellis doesn't want to advance either, I can't let him get bored in the advanced class Besides, at the moment, I think that the advanced class is just right for us.

After a few restarts, I finally got a great attempt! Mission to beat @ Rodman score complete, I can go to sleep.

A little better. 99+

I start beating @ Rodman score. Long way... I'm not sure if this is a real 7 or more like a 6.5. The whole chart has a similar difficulty, but there is something missing that would really cause problems.

Got it! This is max 5 diff and I think everyone will agree.

Lead & Rhythm improvements @ LuZifeR score in this song is from another galaxy. I don't like fighting close to 100% too much, because every accidental miss or unrecognized note annoys me.

@ Rodman If I achieve 99.5+ in 'She's Kerosene' (which seems possible to me) will I be forced to lvl up to the masterclass which I don't want? I'm asking because I don't know if I should take this challenge Also, I don't quite understand your desire to lvl up to the masterclass if you didn't win often in the advanced class and it still seems like a challenge to compete in this class, just like for me and @ jellisjenius .

Bass Super songs to play on bass, great choice for 500 week! I'm not sure if this is the right version, but that's what I had on my hard drive, and I played this for fun. Classic. Cool song in reggae climates, although band 10cc is not a band of this genre. I had a little problems with feeling notes, sometimes hitting too fast. I think we played this not too long ago. Funny bass chart, I'm surprised with such a good score, I started with 97% from the previous playing in championship. Masterclass maybe later, I didn't feel like doing something very difficult.

@ 2groggy started a tribute this week, but I'll try to create a CDLC of Tina Turner song with all available paths. If I make it on time, I'll add them to the selection for the next week. It will be 'Simply The Best' or alternatively 'Its Only Love' with Bryan Adams.

Rhythm 100 Not too hard, but bad recognition... I didn't know that Metallica song. Not a very difficult chart, only the final part is tricky. Not my playing style.

Ah sentimental choice, so I understand. I still remember songs from the week I participated for the first time.

Let's start celebrating week 500! Most of the songs I've already played, but a few will be new to me. Fun song and perfect for beginners. This song I heard and played for the first time. Quite fun and a very good choice for intermediate players. CDLC is very old, from the early days of RS, and it could do with a refresh, the bar at the top with DD and sections and lyrics is missing. One of my selection for a special week when we played movie songs. Great week and great song, so far I haven't managed to achieve 90%, I'm still close so I'll keep trying. I like Rush and this song, but I think there are hundreds of songs better for a lead masterclass in a special week like this. First of all, the chart is mostly of arpeggios (not fun for me) and chords, so this is more suited as a rhythm path. It's missing some juicy solo, which is the essence of the lead path. From what I remember is fun mainly on bass. Also, this song doesn't seem to be @ nlbsmglsk style at all, so I'm surprised he chose this as his favourite. Powerslave full album. What a power, but I'll do it later!

All path improvement Unfortunately, there is no time for further improvements. See you during the 500 week celebration!

Rhythm scores

haha yes, funny Polish song. When it comes to Polish songs, I also recommend: Elektryczne Gitary - Przewróciło Się. The lead path with the solo is really fun to play, I've played it several times. Song used to be played in the championship, but before I joined.

I checked which songs I played the most at Rocksmith in the last few years. A lot of this is songs from the disc or official DLCs. Others I played multiple times because I just liked this songs, but I don't think the chart is super fun to play for overall players. What can I suggest: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here - we played rhythm path in week 400, you can play lead which is easier and can be added as a rhythm path because it's mostly chords. Or something else Pink Floyd - Time. Lead (6.5) and Bass are good to play. Fits to the 500 week, after all, how much time has passed. Metallica - Fade to Black, probably my favorite Metallica song. Something looser, Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent. Fun song to play i remember. We can also play Queen - We Are The Champions (Lead 6.5) as a bonus to celebrate week 500 . Sorry for no diff ratings, but most of these songs have been played in championships so have already been rated. I'll add if I play something.

Start week 499 - end of an era I would give 2-2.5 instead of 3, because it's quite easy to achieve 99% here. Nice sunny beach song. Diff 5.5-6. Nice soloing, as it happens with Buckethead. A few tricky licks, it's not easy - 7. I tried SA, managed to survive. 8 ok.

@ cacahuate51 I think we can agree that 'Phobia' is the best. While that previous album is also good, I especially like 'So Cold' from there, which has official DLC. Lower class improvements because I didn't like my first scores I tried Dystopia but there's really something wrong with this CDLC and I was getting a lot of misses on empty strings so I turned it off.

Bass Fighting for 99+ is too tiring, I'm giving up.

Frustrating song/chart if you play for the score.

Hard fight for 90%, too many random misses and some notes that are hard to hit (like 2 step bend on E string). I guess that's enough for me.

Lead improvements

You have to ask @ Rodman because he will start next week. I am generally in favor of starting a new week later in the evening (around 9-10 pm), because many people only have time on Saturday afternoon to practice and publish their scores. Rodman often starts a new week early so you may not have much time.

Bass Better scores for more difficult songs, funny!
