@ nlbsmglsk Thanks for setting up the week. As an Adv class bass player I'd like to ask that we please use Inwards for the main path song and the Steel Panther song as the bonus.

Solid improvement on Adv Bass, I felt pretty good about this score and then I saw @ Hyphema 's score...dang, well done. Regardless, one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands so I won't get tired of playing it.

I updated the OP to reflect @ nlbsmglsk as the winner of MC Rhythm. This kind of issue is why I don't think I'll be able to keep doing week selection/organization over the next few months. I personally spent time manually entering scores that were missed by the OCR and then it seems I missed others. IMO there is no point to using OCR if it doesn't catch everything. Anyway, thanks for letting me know about the missing scores.

From testing...good bass week IMO. The Blind Guardian song is not my favorite but it's a bonus and I enjoyed all the others.

Hi All, Just a heads up - the new week is basically ready to go but I'll post it later to give you all time to get in your final scores for week 515. We'll set the cutoff time for scores at 5pm Eastern US time, so 3 hours 20 minutes from now.

This is more like it:

First runs from earlier in the week: Classic indie song and album I'm growing to appreciate AHJr more and more and his excellent solo work illustrates that The Strokes are not all about Julian Casablancas. Fun chart Grateful Dead songs are such a consistently fun challenge when charted well, so seeing one charted by current favorite charter @ Djpavs made this an instant recommend.

A Lifetime of War...a beautiful but haunting song from one of my favorite Sabaton albums. This version (Dell's Alt. Bass track, in B Std) is by far the best bass version IMO: So I literally can't even play parts of this song as my 4-string bass only has 21 frets and my 5-string needs a new G...also I'm just not a fan of playing this kind of 16-bit videogame music, unless it's Anamanaguchi: This is an all-timer, one of the most enjoyable tracks I have ever played. I really got into a rhythm. Also I think my kids were disturbed when I started screaming "Drones!" :

@ Rodman I strongly suggest using Dell's version (either his or Hettmar's in the Alt Bass path) for A Lifetime of War bass path.

I'm back! Lovely photos of Salzburg @ Rodman , I've not been to that part of Austria. We were at Lake Maggiore in northern Italy, and then some time sightseeing in London where they had unusually beautiful weather in the past week. Now back to the grind...and the Championship Ridiculously simple funk bass part but it is catchy: Not a big fan of Hagar, this song is cringy IMO but it was reasonably okay to play: Glad to see Fugazi get some CS exposure. For those that don't know, they are from my neck of the woods (Washington DC) and are maybe the defining 80s-90s band in terms of hardcore music and ethos (ie, true indie). They were hugely influential both musically and in the fight against the soulless corporate/mainstream music industry. This one is a fun challenge: And one of my favorites from the Chili Peppers' most recent album, I'm glad this was in the Championship as it gave me motivation to finish it...it's such a challenge that I'd given up on it a few times previously. Now I've managed to power through it and top 90% which I feel is a significant accomplishment

Probably my final for the week...heading out on a family holiday, will be back week after next. Good luck everyone!

So...9 more hours to get your scores in

I've posted the new week but scores for Week 510 will be accepted up to Midnight EST tonight:
