Yes, I saw this before but I forgot about it. Anyway, while I often agree with your ratings, sometimes, as in this case, I completely disagree and, as you can see, other participants rate it similarly to me. Yes it's fast, but the chart has rather basic chords for an intermediate level, but the speed takes it to an advanced level (6-6.5). A rating of 7-7.5 allows you to promotion to the master class, and I think this is not a chart that should allow for the masterclass rank. If I didn't have problems with recognition, I think 99% would be too easy to achieve here.

I'll try to play it again when I find time and see what I can achieve.

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!

However, the rating of 7.5 for this one is a misunderstanding. I don't know if anyone has tested this? This is 6, max 6.5, ok fast but there are no difficult chords or riffs. Unfortunately, Wednesday is too late to change songs in classes.

I did. See above:

"Darkness sy - hard to rate a bit... yes (6.5 - 7) is a valid rating also. From my POV the rhythm is damn fast and very hard to make sound right, i take that into account esp. in Rhy path - so i´d go (7.5) "

I'm so sorry.  I was a new participant and couldn't read English. Next time I will try the ADV class. thanks

Hah! No - man, don´t be sorry! All is good. Great that you are here!

You can send scores for ANY class every week!

You actually are competing in ADVANCED CLASS for LEAD and RHYTHM if that is ok for you.

Check the leaderboards here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WN-m8wF0lVkQ4cLWHBa009SkqDoPk0xN-C4-llcrXXs/edit#gid=2109091018

Rock hard!!!

Start this week

I would give this 3.5 and I agree that this is suitable for beginners, but regardless of the player's level this is very difficult to get 99% here, unless someone has no problems recognizing bends and long slides.

It's worth adding that the alternative lead is the same chart, but with a capo on the 2nd fret and in E-Std tuning, so I think that the scores from this should count, because, for example, I prefer to put on a capo rather than tune guitar in F-Std. @ Rodman

 

Of course! Everytime we have to tune UP a capo is a valid and counting option no matter if there is an extra alternate/bonus chart or not.

For the rating... yeah 3-3.5, but as there is mainly only one riff i stuck to (3). Bend/Slide recognition issues are a true pain but don´t make the song by itself harder.

@ Rodman  The list of winners is a bit unusual. There are participants who won in two classes at the same time, this is probably due to the fact that these are new participants without an assigned class. This players should be assigned to specific classes because it gets messy.

Finally found time.

Winners list updated and Players put to their classes:

Congrats all winners and esp. @ Amisslamb44  to the instant uplevel to Adv with the 99+ win

If anyone wants to be put in another class just tell us!

damn hard

also a hard one (8-8.5)

@ gamestab  - not to forget: Great that you are here!!! Keep posting songs to the SSL and please keep giving feedback on the diffs. Make yourself comfortable and if you think the CS is a place for you to stay you might consider joining the orga team for selection and week starts.

Rock!

I Would give personal jesus 5.0 difficulty because of the tuning and tone

darkness sympathizer i would give 6.5-7.0 this one is fast and pretty hard to hear the guitar (maybe because the tuning is not 440 but can also be because of the volume of the tone)

 

(5) is too high: it´s one riff only with the one bend the E String. You could argue (3.5) fur the non beginner tuning and for it´s rather fast. But (5) means you master that and you advance to Advanced Class, and you got one whole week. In comparison to our library it feels an ok challenge for beginners if they make the 99 over the week they make it to Int class - that´s somehow the (3) definition.

Darkness sy - hard to rate a bit... yes (6.5 - 7) is a valid rating also. From my POV the rhythm is damn fast and very hard to make sound right, i take that into account esp. in Rhy path - so i´d go (7.5)

Rod

oh yes - a hard one for the masters.. you can argue (8.5) but i think its more a legit (9)er

easier mc rhy here (7-7.5)

songorder is ok lead and rhy

way easier when you can use open strings... still missed to register so many bends (3)

nice relaxing rhy there (3)

excuse my performance, a 10-hour trainride and after that lack of sleep seems to be bad for guitar playing...

also cool on rhy (7)

wonderful adv song (7)

very cool. starts like a bassline. (5)

skipped tuning cause of course i will manage to transpose on the fly - yes.no.

cool song (3)

had to start with that one

hmm... fun story about that. That´s my own cdlc. After spending 2 days on creating it i found out that the song has recently been published as ODLC which was not yet listed in ignition.... so that´s my very personal jesus

Ok. Winners updated. XP Levels and 10 weeks leaderboard is updated. Auto-fetching of scores already running.

Rod.

You got one hour!

Get your scores together!

Rod.

New week already up. Old one will still be open for scores until 8pm CET today, so good 3 and a half hours left - get your scores together.

Please give us your ratings for the songs played, especially if something needs to be tweaked!

Have a great week!
