Improvements. I managed to exceed 90% in both paths, but I don't think I can do more than that.

Perfect 90%, nice!

Another difficult fight with recognition, it was close, but not enough.

I did. See above:

"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.

Yes, I saw this before but I forgot about it. Anyway, while I often agree with your ratings, sometimes, as in this case, I completely disagree and, as you can see, other participants rate it similarly to me. Yes it's fast, but the chart has rather basic chords for an intermediate level, but the speed takes it to an advanced level (6-6.5). A rating of 7-7.5 allows you to promotion to the master class, and I think this is not a chart that should allow for the masterclass rank. If I didn't have problems with recognition, I think 99% would be too easy to achieve here.

I'll try to play it again when I find time and see what I can achieve.

Not much time to play this week... But I went to Slash's concert yesterday, nice party!   

Some Rhythm

Good song, but difficult to championship. In rhythm path, it's even easier to have random misses than in a lead. I would say this could be 7.5 and could be a masterclass.

However, the rating of 7.5 for this one is a misunderstanding. I don't know if anyone has tested this? This is 6, max 6.5, ok fast but there are no difficult chords or riffs. Unfortunately, Wednesday is too late to change songs in classes.

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? 

@ 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.

Lead improvement

Improvement

Last-minute bass

Rhythm

A bit harder than Lead IMO.

More 5-5.5 than 4. There is not such a big difference in difficulty between the paths that Lead would be 6.5 and Rhythm 4.

5.5-6.

This is not particularly difficult either, 6 is ok.

@ Rodman  @ nlbsmglsk

I'd give it a 6.5 by current standards. I can't believe this was once rated 5. The rhythm part is not much comfortable for me to play, I always have problems achieving high scores on charts like this, but I know others can handle it better. I would give the solo a 6.5, although a 7 would also be acceptable.

This is also 6.5 for me. There is no solo here and the rest is not difficult enough for a 7 in my opinion.

Other songs

This is definitely not a 9, I suggest changing to 8, because we played much more difficult charts rated 9 here.

More great news. There are players to be promoted to higher rank this week.

- @AndreCardoso is promoted to Intermediate class in Bass path.

Haha, it's even funny, because @ AndreCardoso has been competing in the intermediate bass class for many weeks. Is this a bug because both he and @ Flingleper  are assigned to the intermediate class and yet their beginner class scores are still counted? @ Rodman  @ kayteck

Bass improvements & GoB

Omg this is a 10 without a doubt, by championship standards. Much more difficult than the charts rated 9 we've played here and one of the most difficult charts I've ever played (basically, I was hitting the strings chaotically).

I don't think I can do better, it's amazing that you are close to 99% here. 

Other improvements

I finally managed to play this at 100%.

Little improvement lead

After playing this a few times, I think this may be more of a 6.5 than a 7 diff, as confirmed by the high scores this week, although I have no chance of getting anywhere near 99%.

@ cacahuate51  @ BubbleWrapDragon  Do you think this is 6.5 or 7? I don't want to change the difficulty rating at the end of the week unless you agree with me.

Bass

This is a bit more 4.5 than 5 diff.

These quick jumps to the 12th fret and back can be problematic.

Not technical easy chart.

Rhythm

A few quick power chords jumps make rhythm a bit more difficult for me than lead.

Relatively easy chart, but just like in lead I lost a bit due to recognition in this tuning.

A few chords may surprise you when you first play this  

Lead scores

Really like this vibes, still trying to get 100%.

Fun song, the chart seems not very complicated, but it goes quite quickly and it's easy to get some misses here, I thought this might be 3.5, but I see that others give 4.5, so 4 is ok for me.

Another fun chart! I got a high score for my sight reading run, I don't think I'll improve it much.

Lots of quite easy note streaks, I thought I had a better result but I lost some due to recognition and some due to my mistakes.

Fun to play, need some RR.  However, it seems a little underpowered for MC.  

This is not a masterclass, but an advanced class.

The ratings may be slightly different in the end, because I didn't thoroughly testing all the paths in all the songs (especially the bass paths), but overall everything should be in its place. Of course, you can comment if something seems wrong.

Have a great week and Happy Easter!
