@ drand CONGRATS!! Now all you're missing is to be promoted to advanced lead for the 3 As!! very impressive

Thanks for this week Mikson! had tested this song a while back Was the song i enjoyed most of this week, was like huh this isnt that hard but the ending sure changed that lol. this paths first two chords strummed that way actually reminded me of a song i tabbed for r+ years ago called here before by vashti bunyan (2 semitones higher but close enough). Fun song although i do believe there are some parts that should be tabbed differently on this cdlc. Wish rocksmith would pick up more of the notes when i finger pick cause i can hear the notes but it doesnt count owell.

@ Rodman Damn what an epic lineup!! Thats the main thing i miss bout living in Europe, Epic Festival lineups! If those bands ever appeared here in mexico id go in a heart beat. Lvndmarks, Polaris and knocked loose are bands that would be a dream to see! Really surprised boston manor became a headliner! glad they got the recognition cause they have a BUNCH of good songs imo, and surprised skillet is still touring (havent heard them in ages but they were in my top 10 for a long time) And aaah! that's right i remembered you mentioned you were going to watch NIN when it was the nin cover week! Its great that he still has the touch cause i also really enjoyed the concert i went to. I am honestly surprised you had the energy to do all of that, riding the bycicle and then 3 days of a festival+nin. When I buy just one day of a festival I usually end up completley exhausted xD Much respect to be able to do that.

Wait a second...Do you hear that aswell? I think there is a voice in the air... * play emulated bass and beat drands score, jasmith85 you can do it, we know it* edit: oh nvm she already got 100% gg xD

stopped dettecting the red string halfway through / couldnt really fix it but i didnt want to repeat the song so i kept going lol. Has some cool riffs in there so not sure why i didnt like it that much. It's probably a lot more fun on guitar.

@ jasmith85 drand needs you to compete in bass :V

Being on all ends of the stick ( consumer, creator, host) i can understand your frustration. creator- At the end of the day, unless you are doing a comission it's a free service that you provide which can take up a large chunk of your time. So in that sense I have nothing but respect for those who create cdlcs and especially to those who do them consistantly by ear. Since R+ workshop came out i believe people became more aware and are more picky about specific things ingame since the system will automatically reject your tab if you dont have them in your work. So before r+ there were lots of cdlcs on the site that didnt have those features and were never really hunted down (but tbf theres alot of old content that i would never want to play again). host- I do get from time to time a message on cf discord for the championship (mostly creators) of them being mad at the songs that are being hosted cause they don't follow emmys guidelines. Mostly cause they do put the time on those small features but don't get picked. I've let them know plenty of times if they think their cdlc is good to add it in the suggestion lists since we are always open and want fun wellmade songs to play, but for some reason they don't which is a shame. Cause (atleast for me) picking songs really comes down to time. I might only download the suggested songs or download recent uploaded ones on ignition but theres just simply not enough time to try everysong. So if they atleast add it to the suggested site itll be more likely to be picked. consumer- Sometimes those small details do really help trying to learn the song especially if you are new to guitar.There's no point of having a CDLC if they have to check a youtube video on how to play it imo. And i think thats what the rules were implemented for, to keep a standard so that people who just picked up a guitar will have an easier time playing the cdlc. I read some of the posts you made, and the errors. Fhps can be less of a hassle if there are more sections in the song (the automatic algorithms does better when its shorter from my experience/ less needsto be "fixed"), which is also good for practicing it. But yea im also not too much of a fan of fhps rule cause theres so many ways to play a riff that all are possible. I believe its just a matter of them being consistant (aka not having different fhps for the same riff during a song) so again its easier to sight read. personally not a fan of reports, comments should be just fine especially if its just visual issues. For any feedback i do reccomend using discord just cause more people are active there and can help/ mostly are nice people. Theres even a chart feedback section. We all make mistakes, no cdlc is perfect, most bands dont play exactly the same way live cause they may also forget /expirement/relearn the song differently. As long as you do the best you can, and its playable/replayble, is what matters. The guidelines are a bit tedious at first but its like making your bed or any chore after a while it just becomes routine and its not too bad. But i completely understand just wanting to do tabs since theres less things you need to worry about/ lets you do more songs at a time.

@ Rodman Sounds and looks fun! enjoy your trip and ask razrshred to give the other masterclass competitors some competition! the system has an error which i have no idea how to fix so i did the best i could writing the stuff manually downbellow for now and should be ok. @ AndreCardoso looks like youll be freeing some space up on your trophy shelf since it looks like others snatched some of them grats on the ones you kept though! @ Vodka I was curious and visited week 117 cause I wanted to see who participated that week. Was surprised when I saw a familiar name, didnt know you were almost one of the og competitors! i thought you joined in the late 200s/300s EDIT: @ kayteck bossman helped me understand what the error was and how to fix it for future issues and scores should be registering now Welcome to the CF Rocksmith 2014 Championship! -= Week 609 =- => How and Why join the Championships? => Rocksmith 2014 Championships rules Previous' week Winners are: Lead: - Beginner: @ Argh1992 (90.99) - Intermediate: @ loudly (96.22) - Advanced: @ cacahuate51 (96.16) - Advanced Bonus: @ cacahuate51 (90.55) - Masterclass: @ Willibam (96.7) - God of Guitar: @ Willibam (95.9) Rhythm: - Beginner: @ AndreCardoso (91) - Intermediate: @ Vodka (99.55) - Advanced: @ loudly (94) - Advanced Bonus: @ robolechuga (97) - Masterclass: @ cacahuate51 (95.21) Bass: - Beginner: LOST TROPHY - Intermediate: @ drand (99.2) - Advanced: @ AndreCardoso (95.5) - Advanced Bonus: @ loudly (98.54) - Masterclass: @ cacahuate51 (96.76) Congrats to all winners.

yea the chart did feel off for me aswell

Well glad you gave it another shot! /m/ thats the spirit Btw looks like the automatic scoring has issues detecting your images with the service you are uploading the images to. Any chance you can upload via steam or another one to see if thats the issue? I have added your scores manually for this weeks but just incase for the future.

My bad Probably because intermediate is more familiar/ we are used to playing powerchords. There is only like 2/3 sections for begginer song the Em section which looks harder than it is. You can leave your first finger on the 1 all the time and just move ring and middle finger down a string and then off and repeat. the johnny be goode section. I personally use my 1 2 fingers on the normal power chord and 1 4 on the stretch. kinda like if you played every breathe you take but all on the same string. In the the official johnny be good they do use fingers 1 3 and 1 4 though. But i personally cramp when i do that/ feel like i have to stretch pinky more than i need to.

i think the post needs to be updated cause it shows up as last weeks songs for me.

Yep i would skip or if you want, hold down the 5th fret or 4th fret (its one of those i always get confused lol) of the highest string of your 5 string bass that way it wont bug you to retune it every time you do a 5 string path in that tunning. as for your previous comment of being the only one in intermediate xP: @ jasmith85 is also intermediate bass as of last week, he plays emulated bass (but hopefully he should give you some competition in the weeks) there's also @ drand maybe she'll give you some competition when she's free. Btw congrats on the new job and wish you luck on finding an affordable spot that you like!

You still got time, I berieve in u!! Also didn't see @ drand post this week noticed shes been playing less since 3dg cover hopefully all is good .

It doesnt seem to be that hard but the fhps do seem a bit odd to me and makes me overthink/messup alot

Had to RR quite a bit but I'm happy I finally was able to beat the song with no strikes! and i got to 90 which was my goal. I'm moving it from 7.5 to 8 cause it is doable but the speed in the technical sections makes it quite difficult imo. i think i can get it higher, might've overated the rhythm but rhythm is always difficult to judge for me as its rarely as difficult as lead.

I just now read @ Mikson message/ warning on his score post about him not being here for the new week so i guess i should pay more attention next time to scores text and also be prepared to make a week. Anyways: Heres the changes i made Bass: John murphy in the house - lowered from 3 to 2.5 Seemed like lots of people were able to get 100% so it seems logical to lower it lenny- supergrass 5.5 to 6 only 2 people said it needed to be higher and only mikson said a number 6.5. so 5.5 (my score)+6+6.5= 18 averages to 6 . I even tried giving 6.9 since mikson said its almost a 7 and that averages to 6.13? I think i might try medians or modes though in the future since it seems like its hard for it to go up with averages and cause with averages itll give us random decimals. but regardless theres only 3 suggestions so it would still be 6 i think thats fine cause in the past we've given a same ish guitar riff on bass +1 (although im still not a fan of that) and since we rated 5 for the guitar then its ok? trinkets and things- ryo kawasaki 7.5 to 8 so this one actually wouldve stayed at 7.5 with averages. I used chat gpt lol to see other options and it suggested mean and mode as other ways to balance it. so i did the mean 7 (mystic) 7.5( me) 8 hype 8 mikson. theres no middle number so you add the 7.5+8 = 15.5 /2 = 7.75 so it rounds to 8 and mode would be 8 as well it was a long song so i can see it being higher than a 7.5 although lots of people did get quite high scores and so did i which is why i rated 7.5 in the begining. Realistically speaking though, i dont think theres gonna be people tabing +7 mins jazz songs (and well made) each week so itll be easier to fill in masterclass and we can use really hard ones (havent found ones yet) for gog. I do think bass is usually on the easy side of the championship and do wish itd be harder than it is currently since im not a great bass player (i know theres waay more talented people on this site) and i get high 90s when id rather get low 90s or even lower since its supposed to be a challenge. Thankfully, we have a new competitor that likes hard bass songs so you never know . I also think if @ Rodman had played the bass he would've rated the basses a bit higher so thats why i think modes or medians is probably the right choice and that way someone wont have to rate something extremely low or high for it to "average out" to the number they think is right. hopefully more people are vocal if they are ok with the ratings so that way i can include them aswell in the calculations in the future. anyways if anyone has any other idea or wants to discuss let me know a bit nerdy but i do hope its for the best as i want more people to participate and not feel overwhelmed/ discouraged/ stop playing. the championship will always be more entertaining with more people imo.

yup and if theres a tie again then its a match of tic tac toe

if theres a tie at 100% the one with the highest score wins (hence why its good to submit SA instead of normal mode). if the score is the same (i dont think thats ever happened?) i assume the first one who submited it wins. Edit: also grats on the 100!

i didnt know that was possible thanks!

I kinda like how you have the pictures set up to be 2 in one row since it takes less space. Do you edit your pictures? or hows it so small? @ Vodka also thanks for playing songs above your class helps me see if i need to change ratings.
