@ Hughmonty It's good that you did a week after such a long break, but I see a few things to fix/update. Some scores are missing from the previous week's leaderboard, making the winners list inaccurate. For example scores of BottledPat and LuZifer are missing, and maybe some more. It's recognition's fault as usual. @ kayteck or @ avastreg please check this out. Incorrectly entered people suggesting songs selected this week. I did not suggest Steel Panther song (suggested by nlbsmglsk). I suggested Marrilion song. Additionally, when suggesting a Marillion song, I added a note that for bass I recommend another CDLC of this song (bass only). Could you add them as alternatives, of course the current one can also be played? This: https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/50837 @ Rodman you can also check it and update the topic. Have a nice week!

Floyd time

It was difficult because the chart is very diverse and not very repeatable, but I got it!

So close 93...

Late scores Lead improvement And rhythm adv

Bass I haven't played this in a while and I forgot how fun this is to play! I significantly improved my previous score.

Some Lead scores I don't remember the last time we played a PF song in the championship, which is my all-time fav band, but many of their songs (especially the ones I like the most) do not meet the championship criteria well (too long, too many empty spaces in the chart, etc.). This ballad is perfect for beginners. I've played this many times since I started playing RS and now is the first time I've achieved 99+. Really nice! This song I last played ages ago. I must admit that it is not that easy considering the solo and this is definitely not a 4. For me 5.5. One of The Who better songs. I remember we played this in the championship again (in week 395). @ Rodman , you changed CDLC version in the link to the one from week 395, but remember that for this version difficulty rating were different and the rhythm path was for masterclass (8).

Bass time I don't understand what's going on here xd Almost 90 but I give up.

Good luck, one attempt is enough for me, because I won't learn it now anyway.

Rhythm time I like this song, I also like the tones used in this CDLC even if they are a bit harsher than heard in the original. Even funny I liked QotSA older albums more, but that could be it. Similarly in Metallica, nothing from the new album captivates me, I would say that overall it is ok. The chart is a bit crazy as it often happens in Japanese songs, some of the chords I didn't know and couldn't play.

Good to know you're okay! As a somewhat involved user of this website, I had no idea about the things you were writing about, it doesn't sound good. It's very bad that our CDLC can be removed without giving a reason and we don't even know about it unless we check it ourselves...

Some scores for the beginning of the New Year's week. By the way, Happy New Year to everyone! And thanks to @ aNDESmASAMUNE for a good start to the year!

I hope so too, but such a sudden disappearance always seems unsettling to me. But perhaps he informed someone from the forum administration that he was withdrawing.

It's good to see you again, I remember that you were one of the championship organizers when I joined them in 2020. Then after a few months or a year you disappeared. Are you saying you live on Ascension Island? An interesting place to live in the middle of the ocean, but is there anything you can do there for a long time apart from tourism?

Ah, another year is over! It's a good thing I didn't win all the paths in the advanced class again like last year, because it was getting a bit boring. Also, I don't think I would be the best participant, the key is just to be regular. So congratulations to @ LuZifeR for being regular enough and deservedly winning in the lead path. In the bass path @ jellisjenius probably would have won if he hadn't withdrawn from the championship at some point. By the way, I wonder where @ coldrampage has gone. He has been very active for as long as I remember, he was also a moderator, and he has not logged in since September 29. Really strange.

Bass

Rhythm

I had very little time to play this week, so basically just sight reads. Lead

Last improvements because I'm out for a few days. Slightly better recognition in the E Std tune. Happy with 90 as some parts are out of my reach.

Improvement

Bass time Like this bassline. I like this song, but the number of long pitched slides in this chart is overwhelming. Not very good for championship contention. I played this with the pick. Great bass chart, looks a bit like a guitar chart, lots of fast riffs, too fast for me to play with my fingers. I am very happy with this score.

It's probably about playing in slow speed in RR mode or some other tricks, but I don't know what. I often use RR myself because I want to know how many misses I have while playing, but I play at full speed and only at the end I stop the song and turn off RR so that it doesn't rewind to the beginning.

Other lead & rhythm scores My favorite Billy Idol song, I've played it several times before, but I'm glad I could play it again. I feel like I played this a while ago and I remembered that we played full album chart in the championship. Nice song, but I'm annoyed by the random misses in these arpeggio parts, which are generally not too difficult.

This song is part of a concept album called Mercy Falls. From Wikipedia: It is a concept album that tells the story of a victim of a car crash who, upon awakening from a coma, finds himself in the mysterious town of Mercy Falls, a fictional world he has dreamed up in his comatose state. So I recommend listening to the entire album. I think I like this song the most on this album, and from what I checked another one 'Welcome to Mercy Falls' was played sometime during week 266. First scores:

@ nlbsmglsk 1. Thanks for a new week and thanks for choosing Seventh Wonder song. I've been listening to them for a few days now, really great music! I added the song suggestion yesterday and RNG immediately favored me, great I will immediately add that I assessed the bass path only visually, but this is definitely a very difficult masterclass or even GoB. 2. Please check scores from last week and correct the winners list. @ RaZrShReD couldn't win in two classes in the rhythm path. From what I can see, he is entered twice on the leaderboard in different fonts. 3. By the way, I'll ask why you haven't competed in the lead and bass paths for a long time, only in the rhythm path, and last week not even in this one? Simply lack of time? The times have come when, unfortunately, there are few players competing in masterclass. And last week in the lead path @ RaZrShReD was basically competing with himself (literally look at the table ).
