Good to have you back kicking butts and getting to put that skill to use with the band! If you ever make songs or play live I'd love to hear/watch and im sure others here would want to aswell!

odd i thought i posted. thnks 4 the week Mikson :)

I have bumped you up to masterclass now :)

Welcome!! Make sure to give the bruce spring a try as well or others a go. This song was given a 4 which is usually intermediate territory so you are most likely ATLEAST intermediate (might be even higher since you got 99+ first try)

if it aint broken dont fix it😅. sounds fine so havent found the need to.

Have you tried discord customsforge? theres more bassplayers there that might be able to point you to the right direction. I personally havent switched strings or done any adjustment on my bass since ive had it (over 13 years) which is pretty gross and abnormal (atleast i dont think its normal since ive switched strings on my guitar more times than i can count) so i cant really help sadly.

thanks for thee week Rodman ! i agree with job and atta that this is rated a bit too high and could pass as a 1 for bass or is it possible even lower lol i think the cdlc could use a revisit. dont think those bends are right. to me it sounds more like it should bend 16 to 18 rather than 18 to 19 and the rhythm path could be hords instead of single notes but 🤷‍♂️ i liked this one, made me want to play crazy taxi for somereason

As stated in my previous message, i didnt remember the dificulty of the gavin song and havent had time to replay them. I thought alsrc was intermediate in all classes (since hes intermediate in l and r, an honest mistake) hence why it was rated a 4 on all paths without testing them . secondly the song was picked cause he won intermediate rhythm not bass, and was only left as a choice because veggs was going to be bussy and didnt have a preference for song in masterclass and it fit nicely there. Eitherways it was already an advanced bonus song since monday, and its now a 6.5

I played some yesterday and some today (since its alot of paths): I think the rated 3 from previous weeks is a bit high? so i lowered it to 2. I cant imagine an easier song. its short, not many notes. Just one slow riff and then chords and then riff x2 and thats pretty much it. I liked this song reminded me of the soundtrack of swiss army man movie soundtrack or some sigur ross from the basegame dlc or maybe it was rs1. Anyways had fun playing other bass notes in the intro to go with the vocals, and it went in a direction i wouldnt have gone with so it was refreshing. bass was also pretty simple only "tricky" part is double stops but the song is really slow so also lowered it. I would give it lower in rhythm aswell but rhythm is usually easier and i get a lot of misses. I think 4.5s are ok for this song as its not too easy and will require practice... (infact, posting these pictures it might be harder than the sammy song will have to play the two rhythm paths same day again) not sure if this is really a 4? its jsut one chord progression throughout the whole song. I gave it 3.5 cause i think its kinda the same level as the beginner song rhythm maybe slightly harder cause theres more rhythm to it but not by much. arahja didnt seem that hard. idr the gavin one ill have to replay both of them but my guess is gavin was slightly harder. Just bumped gavin up to a 5 cause it was harder than a 4 for sure cause of speed ( will have to play later on). upped it from 6 to 7 cause that solo is pretty intense. The rest of the song is pretty easy though so maybe 6.5? well see, but for now i think its 7. ez 4 😅 jokes aside its now masterclass main path as i do think its more technical than robot song. People with large fingers or small guitars seem to be allergic to string skipping. quite some huge streteches there. what on earth did i just play XD No wonder @JobwanMojo is a beast, probably warms up with this song. really neat song though, will be keeping it, end reminded me of perry the platypus song/ spy vibes. i bumped this up to 8.5 cause the octave part is pretty intense imo. the rest is pretty straight forward.

WARNING I have switched songs around since i have created the week so please pay attention to the song that is in your class. I think it should be a bit more balanced now. At any rate, leave your difficulties with your playthroughs if you think it should be a different number and ill do an average at the end of the week. edit: i have also started react as i think the songs will stay there/ wont need switching classes just numbers

Another new player!! Welcome to the championship! Looks like you will atleast be advanced class :) so ill add you there

ok thanks mikson, like i said no clue how the songs actually are so will do some switching later on. I just used it since @ALSRC suggested it but he mightve just been expecting to win bass not rhythm.

This week is over! thanks for participating new week will be placed here: https://customsforge.com/topic/81254-rocksmith-2014-championship-week-649/

It doesnt have to be on the list, it can be any from ignition. Yeah now that you mentioned it i thought you were A in both lead and rhythm but seems like only A in Rhythm bass and lead you are still intermediate? (ill look previous weeks to see what happened) if linkin park is still the one you want for next weeks song ill put it np :)

As stated last week its winners choice this week :) congrats to all of you guys who got first place! I just placed advanced song for masterclass since veggs said they probably wont pick a song i included the paths from songs that were picked as a bonus incase anyone wants to dive into them. (first place is the main song) Havent played any except for the linkin park one so this will be an interesting week :) as for the songs some info that may or may not be true xD: White Winter Hymnal – Fleet Foxes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQRS40OKNE neat video The song has no traditional chorus—its hypnotic feel comes from repetition and layered harmonies. Its lyrics sound nostalgic and wintry, but they actually hint at something darker (a childhood memory involving loss). The famous line “Michael, you would fall…” sparked tons of fan theories about its meaning. Two-Faced – Linkin Park https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kivUsDGWojU A lesser-known track compared to their big hits, it reflects the band’s early exploration of identity and inner conflict. Like many Linkin Park songs, it blends rap and rock elements—a signature of their early sound. The theme of duality (“two-faced”) shows up often in their lyrics, especially on their earlier albums. Arahja – Kult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vw2K0AgFF0 The title “Arahja” doesn’t have a clear meaning, adding to the song’s mysterious vibe. It became one of Kult’s most iconic tracks, especially in Poland. The song’s lyrics are often interpreted as political or societal commentary from the late communist/post-communist era. Heavy Metal (Slaughter's Version) – Sammy Hagar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpBqZjwE1Oc Originally written for the animated film Heavy Metal (1981). This “Slaughter’s Version” is a re-recording tied to the band Slaughter, giving it a heavier, more modern edge. Sammy Hagar later became the frontman of Van Halen. None of Them Knew They Were Robots – Mr. Bungle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Rw-BqqBTw The track is a wild mix of genres—thrash metal, circus music, and avant-garde chaos. Mr. Bungle is known for unpredictable songwriting, and this song is one of their most chaotic examples. The band features Mike Patton, famous for his insane vocal range and experimental style. Soothsayer – Buckethead was suggested by Phantasy in discord and I said id put it up the next time i hosted. Also Emmy was kind enough to revisit their chart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adV8-_hgL4g Widely considered one of Buckethead’s most emotional and accessible songs. It was written as a tribute to his late aunt. Unlike his more experimental work, this track focuses on melodic, expressive guitar playing rather than technical shredding.

@Vodka looks like you might be the winner of intermediate class, what song do you want to pick for nextweek?

@EmbraceTheAbsurd Looks like you got some competition for future weeks now :)

Yay! more people :) As someone who has close to 3k hours and still cant play by memory, my only tip is to play without rocksmith or probably mastery mode more often. Cause I didn't so you might end up like me, and thats not good. I'm sure someone may comment to help you out with your technique if they know how to solve it. I am not sure where to place you honestly. Do you want intermediate or to give @EmbraceTheAbsurd some competition? (if you submit a better score in the next hour you could choose next weeks begginer song)

Well i meant more as a lower masterclass bonus song but i understand not everyone likes adding bonus songs.

Since next week seems to be open ill host it. I will let the winner of this week choose the song that will be picked for next week in their class. So please leave a comment of the cdlc when posting scores :) (aka winners choice/selection) CLICK HERE FOR TIME REMAINING hopefully this will make more people participate this week, hope you all have a good week

eeei!!! Glad to see you participate :) Since you only submitted intermdiate im guessing thats where you want to be placed?

@Satinuke has posted a clip of his playthrough of the intervals song on discord. I suggest everyone on here to check it out!🔥

Honestly extremely surprised when it was announced that emmy joined us, glad that it finnally happened after all this time :) hopefully more creators join or atleast do a co host week thing. Very challenging week had fun. song is pretty simple and not that many notes but that solo is pretty fast so i do think it should be higher than it currently is. wasnt expecting to like this one but i actually did. Fun cover. I felt like this soen one was harder than the other basslines like hawkwind and maaaybe intervals (although intervals does have some tough sections)? again cool song. without handshapes im completley lost.

damn emmy knows how to shred
