I think 3 could also be the maximum lvl up rating for beginners. On the other hand, looking at charts rated at 3, promotion may not be a major challenge. Hard to say. For the intermediate class, I think the upper difficulty rating should be 6, because as you said there is a bigger jump between int and adv classes. So, if an intermediate competitor scores 99.5+ on song 6, that means they can easily compete in the ddvanced class.

Rhythm:

We created these problems ourselves by raising the level of bass diff ratings for each class in the past. The problem is mainly matching high difficulty ratings, so restoring 6-7 for advanced and 8-9 for masterclass is ok. However, for the beginner class, I would leave 1-4, because charts rated 1-3 are generally less interesting and not challenging. What do you think about this difficulty match for bass? Beg 1-4 Int 4-6 adv 6-7 Master 8-9

Nice songs this week! Breaking Benjamin is probably the first band that I discovered (a bit by accident) a very long time ago, so I still have a lot of sentiment for them, especially for old albums. The problem with Rocksmith is that their songs are often played in very low tuning (C Drop Db), which makes it difficult to play on regular strings. I listened to and liked this song many times while playing GTA San Andreas years ago and forgot about it and now it's back! The diff level is undoubtedly 6, solo it can be even 6.5. Here is an old screenshot from earlier tests. A challenging song for advanced players. Nice song, but the beginning parts arpeggios are unplayable for me.

How did you select songs using RNG? The higher difficulty rating in the beginner bass class suggests that you started with lead and adjusted rest paths, but on the other hand, why is there a song with difficulty 6 in lead path in the intermediate class?

@ coldrampage @ cacahuate51 Thanks for clarification! Now I know what you mean. I think I used to manually set FHP when making CDLC, but I usually set it automatically because I don't pay that much attention to it while playing.

Bass+ 3 missed notes near the end decided the loss 99+, frustrating... I tried again but no effect. @ Daz40 very good score here, congrats!

Thanks, because this is my CDLC. So just out of curiosity, I'm asking what you mean with those anchors in the chorus because I don't quite understand The same riffs/charts on bass are always harder than on guitar, so get higher diff rating. Perhaps 8 is a bit too much, 7.5 for bass and 6.5 for lead is appropriate here. This is my opinion after a few tries. Yeah, I also felt it was closer a 6.5. On the other hand, there's no way I'm going to be able to achieve 99% here, so I could be wrong. Overall, it's nice that you add such extensive comments to screenshots

Lead+ Rhythm+

Bass

I wasn't sure if the rhythm path of the Ghost song deserved a difficulty of 7, because it seemed like too much the last time I played it, but if you think so then I won't argue. P.S. If you achieved 99+ on a song with arpeggios, that would be a real promotion!

You know this is controversial. In general, I understand that adding too many songs with only bass/guitar chart is not necessary, but most CDLCs with harder guitar paths have an easier bass path, so we always need some CDLCs with a difficult (7.5-9.5) bass in the suggestions to compensate. The screen you posted is interesting. I didn't know that CDLCs used to be rated on different criteria.

Back from the trip. Time for scores. Lead. I can feel in this album a lot of The Strokes vibes which I like. One of my favorite Editors songs, so I wanted to do better CDLC for this. If you like this I'm glad. A good song to play. I have to improve in the end where I lose too much. I think it is 6-6.5, no more. I'm not a huge Ghost fan, but I saw them live once as support (probably Metallica) and I even like a few songs. This one is not very difficult for a masterclass, but the tapping part surprised me.

I'm leaving tomorrow for 2 days, so I hope everything is ok. Good selection, something interesting in every class! I had a problem with the Wolfmother song - when I tried to start the bass path, the game crashed. I fixed CDLC in the song manager and shared the fixed version, it works for me. Have a nice week!

New championship week will start in about 1 hour!

Bass+ I give up fighting for 99%.

Yes! It was a very good attempt, although I lost a little on the slides again.

This is not MC rhythm class.

Little+ Too many misses on these slides, I'll try to improve it a little tomorrow.

Improvements Because this is an old CDLC, it's too slow for today's scroll speed standards, which makes it hard for me to feel notes. I'll leave it at that.

@ Rodman @ kayteck Well done, the SSL sheet looks better now! In cases like in this screenshot, I think, that ratings should be moved to the left, to the main ratings columns, otherwise those songs will never be selected when using RNG. Songs with only bass in audio? I don't understand, could you give an example?

Rhythm Masterclass. As mentioned before, bonus rhythm path is an alternate bass in B-Std tuning. I doubt anyone could play this. @ Rodman are you sure this is correct? I played the normal rhythm.
