Hah I was playing it badly, but apparently Rocksmith and his recognition liked me here.

Solo is sick. I tried to improve on the TOTO song, but I have poor recognition there, especially for Bass. I feel like I have a strange lag and I still don't know why in some songs it is like that and others are ok.

New week will start in about 2 hours, maybe a little later.

Not 6. 5-5.5 max. This is not that hard if you know how to play it. If you play it like a solo it can actually be difficult.

Pitch Shifter doesn't work here, and I can't achieve more with this tuning.

Nice song

However, it's a little easier than I thought at first. Just a little practice. This chord is a little tricky, but even if you don't hit the B string (green) Rocksmith should recognize it.

Then it makes no sense to choose a TOTO song as capo, if you use it 2x as a bonus. I don't know, maybe in Rhythm Paleontology as a bonus?

@ avastreg - I don't understand something. Why did you choose DOWN - Stone The Crown for this week selection? First, the tuning is C# Standard, not Drop D. Second, this CDLC has Lead, Rhythm and Bass - you've only selected Lead. You could have chosen TOTO - Devil's Tower for the advanced class as the main song instead of making a bonus?

I have tested this and confirmed. Rhythm is definitely an advanced level. Lead 5 and Rhythm 6 in difficulty rating.

I played bass first this week to help with difficulty rating. Overall fun songs to play this week! I think The Cure and The Blue Tones songs have a similar difficulty (4.5-5), so it suits as a difficult beginner or intermediate. 7 is ok. I was playing with my fingers and I was a little out of keeping up with those fast riffs. Maybe a pick would be better. Nice challenging chart. I think this is 8.5.

Probably final score.

98% achieved, it's not easy!

It was hard to achieve because I felt that recognizing don't like me and every previous attempt I ended up with 94+.

Improvements

Intermediate level for me. Ah, what a fun chart! Maybe I rated this a little low after the first try. Better in a second attempt.

No chance, this looks like a GoG to me, the whole song is one solo. Hard but playable.

Scores from testing new CDLC. Lead score is worse than from old CDLC so don't count it.

Ok, I made a full CDLC of Bigmouth Strikes Again with lyrics! We have better notes quality overall, but for the guitar this version seems more difficult than the old version. So @ nlbsmglsk please add this as an alternate version and of course scores from the old one will still be counted. Here is the link to the new version on Ignition: https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/72744

@ coldrampage @ cacahuate51 @ nlbsmglsk You are right about The Smiths song. This is a bit of my neglect, because I added this suggestion a long time ago and forgot about it later. Yes it's an old CDLC that needs improvement, so today I improved the old version by adding Bass path according to the official tabs. I tested it and it's a bit easier, but I think it's 8 and still a masterclass. Download here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZadrRP-Yb9r1lYIGPj6NJcjvz9RGW25W?usp=sharing @ nlbsmglsk or @ Rodman Please update the topic post with this version! I'll add guitar paths and upload a new CDLC on Ignition, but it needs a little more time.

Ah, it's a good selection. I have played 3 of these songs before so I can show the scores. For me, this is the best song to play from the new Muse album. Fun on all paths. And one of my favorite songs by The Smiths. I've played this for a long time, but I remember most of the chart is fast chords strumming.

A little better, but not enough...

Bass+

Lead+
