Yeah - i appreciate your ratings too. Usually yours tend to be .5 lower than mine but we are almost always on the same ship. Rhythm rating sometimes i feel is way harder than bass where we have it quite straight forward with speed, positionshifts, patterns and technotes and in lead where the solo or melodyparts often quickly give a strong pull towards a certain diff... For me in rhy the main diff element is (next to obviously difficulty of the chordchanges) can one make the rhythm sound like it´s played in the song. Here that riff at the beginning:
Clear MC stuff with the very very fast pattern switching from muted to open - i may suck extremely there, but for me even at that low speed in RR it sounds (recording too humiliating to post ) like a lame metal-riff which it clearly is not (and it´s even charted too easy and a bit wrong, it should consist of 2 different chords if am hearing that right). A (7) at least.
For promotion to MC - yeah - sometimes a chart is not optimal competitionwise - like in cases in lead where a very easy long song holds a very hard short solo that does make it a high rating - but here - those lil fills are also (7)s i tried again a few times - a 99 is there on the horizon, but doesn´t come easy
everyone - let´s work together on the most objective ratings on all songs continuously! Always give us your impression and a short statement if you like.
Rock!
Rod.
