Mikson

I don't know why you're playing that song 'First Date' but this is not the right song this week.

Bass I think all the songs this week have nice bass charts, well suited to the classes.

Rhythm Yes, the rhythm path is a little harder than lead.

From testing Not my style but good to play, easy technical, but quite fast. I really like both Morrissey's solo songs and his earlier ones with The Smiths. I liked the earlier Amorphis songs we played here better, but there's a nice chart here. Unfortunately, I have very bad chord recognition (which is not difficult), which spoils the final score a lot... Yes, this is crazy. I rate this 8.5 (in the sheet was 8), because generally there is no very difficult solo in the song, which is often the case in masterclass songs. But the whole song is very fast and quite technical and if Bottledpat says this is 9 I don't even think to argue with it.

If you want to play those pinch harmonics right, it's not easy. But rocksmith doesn't know the difference between pinch harmonics and regular notes, so when you play normally, it counts.

This week is over, thanks for competing! New championship week started here:

New championship week will start in about an hour!

Last minute improvements

Some new participants this week. I have assigned to classes: @ Irineu2338 - lead advanced class. @ RadioGaGa - rhythm intermediate, bass advanced. @ Tucky Fried Chkn - bass advanced. If you have comments, write, in the coming weeks we can make adjustments.

Some improvement but I can't play that riff properly. Nice song. I think both Lead and Rhythm is like 8.5. And there's certainly no way Rhythm diff is 10. @ Rodman , I mentioned once that if past rating are clearly wrong, then should be changed actual week and you agreed.

Just remember that if you're showing a screenshot of a Learn a Song attempt, your accuracy counts, so you can only score 90%, 98% etc. Only in Score Attack mode Rocksmith gives accurate accuracy values, e.g. 98.55%.

I suppose @ emu plays in the championship more for fun in co-op with @ Rodman , but I think an intermediate class is more suitable for him. I changed it in the spreadsheet for the future to improve competition, as there are now a lot of players at the advanced classes and not many or none at the lower classes. If he doesn't agree, we'll put it back as it is.

Some Lead Pretty repetitive song but I like it. I think this is a little more than 3. I thought this would be more fun, but the chart is boring unfortunately I have the biggest problem with the opening riff and I already know that it will be hard for me to play it well... Bass Not too hard for a masterclass, but I got too many misses on the bass chords. Nice song and chart as usual with Iron Maiden.

I'm having a huge problems accessing the Customforge website today, but at least I managed to add some improvements.

Bass time These slides meh... Yes, this beginning is crazy, I played it sloppy, but the recognition seemed pretty good.

Rhythm The Cure is the hardest for me here.

Lead Disintegration is a really good album from The Cure. I listened to QOTSA a long time ago, not much lately but I still like to play. I haven't heard the two songs below, but they are good suggestions @ Zoutje This is a bit too easy for a masterclass, diff 7 I think.

I use Postimages. You choose screenshots from the disk and upload them to the server, then share screenshot, copy link and paste it in this topic. Link automatically turns into a screenshot. Very simple.

I just have to say and warn intermediate players . The Cure - Llulaby is a CDLC created and suggested for the championship by me, but my difficulty ratings were different and were changed for all paths by @ Rodman . Mainly I mean the rhythm path, which is far too difficult for intermediates and I have no idea why it is in this class because it contains arpeggios and quite uncomfortable chords. Low scores expected. As for the lead path, in my opinion it is too easy to get 99%, even for beginners. Too low challenge to level up to the intermediate class. Bass path I probably rated too high, so beginner class is ok.

Improvements

@ Rodman @ kayteck What happened to the sheet used to automatically add scores? Something has been changed there and it doesn't work as it should, there are no hints like before and you have to enter everything manually...

Nice chart, I think this is little more than 4. You only need one string to play this on all paths, quite fun. Unfortunately, the song I like least this week and there is no interesting chart for me, it's in all paths in my competing classes xd And this is definitely the best bass chart this week. A7X is a really nice band, although I don't know their discography well. This is fine for a masterclass.

Rhythm sightreads

Lead There's no way I can compete here. Even if I play it right, I'll lose a few % through recognition. @ avastreg I think lead and alternate lead are on the same difficulty level. Perhaps the alternative has a slightly more difficult solo. I think this selection is good.
