And Bass

Rhythm

These chords surprised me a bit, although don't seem difficult after playing for a while.

Scores from testing. Lead first.

Good, easy Polish rock from the early 2000s, I remember this was played very often on the radio for many years.

Nice, Pierce The Veil songs are interestingly arranged and good to play.

Ah, Japanese rock, as always I could expect a crazy chart and I was not disappointed! Luckily this is within my ability to play and it's a really fun chart!

Another good chart, after closer play this is 8.5 rather than 9 in terms of difficulty.

these two are out of my league

You need to explain this screenshot.  I don't know how you achieved 98% accuracy here with 33% mastery. You were playing at 100% difficulty, so either you weren't playing at full speed or you were rewinding the song. Anyway, the OCR read 98% here, so you automatically won the week. 

Whis week is over! Thank for competing!

 I dont know man...you seem pretty close on the haken song I think you can do it!

Thanks for the motivation, but I doubt it, because I always lose a little due to recognition and some of my mistakes, I think about 98% is my maximum level here. Maybe if I tried again and again, I would be able to achieve a perfect attempt, but I don't have time for that, because I'm currently preparing selection for the new week.

@ johnal  It's the first time I see you posting screenshots from the bass path, I didn't know you played bass at all  
Perhaps a long time ago, when I wasn't competing in the championships, you had already published some bass scores, because I see that you have been assigned to bass class.

@All  New championship week will start in an hour, maybe a little more!

Yes, a similar story to every week lately. After @ cacahuate51  posts his improved scores, I lose the will to fight because I know I have no chance of achieving such high results 

Although I tried...

And Bass

@ aNDESmASAMUNE  I agree with @ kayteck . 5.5 is too high  diff rating here.

Fun chart!

And Rhythm

Lead improvement after a few attempts

Good start this week! I'm glad that we have 2 of my suggestions in the selection, although they are quite old and I haven't played these songs for a long time  

Ok song. Good for beginners, but I liked better another song by this singer that we played once in the championship - probably good 4 you.

Good instrumental song, I like this melodic riffs!

The last two songs below were played over a year ago, they were definitely fun to play, but I'll have to remind myself. 

Screenshots from testing.

i never really understod the difference between a gold score and a platinum...because im pretty sure you dont need 100 for plat...

I've already explained this here before, so I can repeat it. To get platinum you have to be perfect in all phrases - all phrases must be green. But that doesn't mean you have to get 100%, when a phrase has a lot of notes in it and you get it wrong 2-3 times you can still have a perfect phrase.

I finally managed to overcome the bad recognition using a few tricks, although I still lost some notes.

It's good that it's still the old week, I'll improve a little.

Guitar improvements

I don't know if I can achieve more with this tuning and recognition problems. And the pitch shifter doesn't work for this CDLC...

Bass

Rhythm

I like the opening riff and chorus riff in this song. A song from the first album after the change vocalist, the album received mixed reviews (old fans rather hated it), but this song is one of my favorites from this release.

First scores lead

Not a fan but good to play for beginners.

Nice chart, I was surprised that I achieved 99% here.

I discovered this band about a year ago and played a few of their charts on Rocksmith - they are usually very difficult and incredibly fast, luckily this one is perfect for me to play. And when I read that this was an Italian band, I thought that @ avastreg  probably knew them, I was not wrong  

Fun to play too, if I hadn't lost a lot on the tapping part I would have had a better score.

I have DD turned off anyway so everything is always max difficulty. If it's the same chart why didn't my score count?

Scores are currently added automatically by OCR and this is set to recognize normal bass. But since it's the same chart, I added your 91% score manually.

Intermediate. No purple bars and didn't even register that I played it?

13 hours ago, Minute2Midnight said:

Bonus bass had purple bars and counted. I think it's exactly the same. 

Yes, it's the same chart, but the normal bass has no dynamic difficulty, and the alternative bass does, hence the purple bars. For the championship, regular is enough because we play at 100% difficulty anyway, so we don't need dynamic difficulty.

ended up playing lead chart instead of rhythm  

How is this possible when there is no lead path in this CDLC? 

20 minutes ago, cacahuate51 said:

I was refering to the lead being advanced meanwhile rhythm was intermediate when the lead doesnt have a solo perse/ kinda similar path. I understand the +1 for bass.

Yes, lead and rhythm are similar, both have that short transition part where you can get a few missed notes. However, the lead path is a bit more complex, it has more technical licks in some parts, where the rhythm plays e.g. a power chord + some palm mutes on the same string. Additionally, the lead has these harmonic notes several times. The difference in difficulty is not big, maybe it should be 6 lead and 5.5 rhythm idk. Maybe my rating was influenced by the fact that I achieved probably 98% (I'll post screenshots later) on my first attempt recently in rhythm, and much less in lead.

Ok, attention!!!

I followed the comments and scores from the bass path of the Royal Blood song.  Indeed, it seems that there are problems with achieving a high score there, the chart is quite specific, and these pull-offs can be problematic to recognize.

So there is a change in the bass classes:

Beginner: Taylor Swift - Blank Space (2.5) (E Standard) selected by Daz40

Intermediate: Nightwish - Sahara (5*) (D Standard) selected by Mikson

Advanced: Rhapsody Of Fire - A New Saga Begins (6.5) (E Standard) selected by Mikson

Advanced bonus: Royal Blood - Oblivion (5.5) (E Standard) selected by loudly

Masterclass: Helloween - Ride The Sky (7.5) (E Standard) selected by kayteck

theres a riff in there that reminds me of a metallica song just that in a different tunning...but since im not a metalica fan i dont know the name of the song.
also vocalist kinda reminded me of avril lavigne some times..like the same ish tone.. so i might check them out lol

It always makes me laugh when you write that a song or part of it reminds you of another song, but usually you don't know exactly which one 

3 hours ago, cacahuate51 said:

not sure why some are int and some are advanced they all seem to be same lvl and no solo

I don't know what exactly you are referring to. When it comes to comparing rhythm and bass paths in the Rhapsody of Fire song, as I wrote earlier, with similar charts I add about +1 to the bass difficulty rating.

In my eyes, both can pass as intermediate but thats just me xD

Yes, I'm already used to you lowering the difficulty rating of bass paths for the championships

at first i was like ah this isnt so hard then the solo came in and yeah..wasnt expecting that for a rhythm path

Yes, the rhythm path is actually an alternate lead here.
