cacahuate51

new week is here. Ill do the averages of difficulty for this week once i wake up

From now on ill assign myself to do the first week of the upcomming months just so its more stable / Rodman had already organized his. As I chatted with people on discord seems like some charters would like to know before hand if there charts gets picked/ just incase they find any errors/ would like to update something. So hopefully doing it this way will help them out / better weeks for the participants aswell and also maybe we wont have weeks set up this late on a saturday (here its not even saturday anymore).

Looks like no one from masterclass lead class participated, anyone want to claim the win and be promoted!?
@ jasmith85  leme know where you want to be in bass so that the beginner victory can go to wilyam or you

SO FOR THIS WEEK

we got a neat oldie recomendation by Daz for begginer, has some johnny be goode chords to it

Intermediate we got a cdlc that came out this week that i thought was well done

Advanced - I added rzrshreds recommendation just incase doods might be too hard for adv and so rodman doesnt have to play some more asian music lol jk. its pretty simple except for the solo.

Doods might be an 8 on lead but ill give it the benefit of the doubt and leave it at 7.5 and bonus path. I did put doods as the main bass for masterclass though since personally i found it the most challenging but i might just be tired. 

Also, Since @ rosefog  is new and won last week i decided to add his recomendation to celebrate! Make sure to leave some more reccomendations (this goes to everyone aswell) as its always more fun to play different types of music. Maybe in the future i could add the song reccomendations of the second player to keep them motivated for the next week? Just an idea.

By the way, Aldious reminded me of LOVEBITES, who also have some fun CLDCs available.

It got me in the mood for playing fast with little string switching, so I tried some old Blind Guardian, but my hand nearly fell off 

Aah interesting, havent heard them before will check their cdlc out thanks!
edit : (Your score is on the leaderboard now )

ok maybe i need to practice more than just the solo lol. But I'm happy with that score

 ill practice the solo since that seems where i lose alot of notes

Hey @ jasmith85  looks like this is your first bass post of the the year ?! The system is telling me you are not yet assigned in bass. I remember you used to participate under another name but dont remember it and not sure if you played bass in it  
Do you want to be intermediate bass since you are intermediate in both lead and rhythm
or do you wish to start from the bottom and climb up since you only posted the beginner song?

I don't think that the app is picking up scores for the beginner's song "John Murphy - In the house - In a Heartbeat"

yea i have a feeling its probably cause of the - in the name. I added them manually and will keep an eye out on anyone who posts scores from that song thanks!

If I were to rate it, for me, it would be an 8 ...maybe not quite 8.5... but on the tougher side of 8 

Yea I can see it ending up as an 8 at the end of the week. I usually rate things lower than most people. So we'll see at the end of the week

guitar playthroughs: i think ive played some of them more in the past via nonstop mode but it mustve been on a different profile

Bass test playthroughs:

What kind of power creep has happened to say "Trinkets & Things" is only a 7.5?! 
 

I guess Mystic and I are power creeps since he rated it a 7 and i only .5 higher 
I felt like the song repeated quite a bit, the open notes do always confuse me slightly on rocksmith. It will be a pain to get 100% because of the length but i do feel like getting high 90s is quite achievable and i do think theres harder songs out there.
At any rate make sure to leave your ratings and we'll balance it at the end of the week for it to be more fair.

Had to give my own chart a try on this week

I'm content with 95% 

Dayum! Grats on the score i wasn't expecting someone to get that high this week . I'mma have to check out your streams one day after seeing that number. Finally someone gave @ shaggy_malagy  some competition hehe. 
 

Thanks for waiting.

I chose the theme song to 28 days later cause the new movie will be comming out this month like jasmith mentioned.  And i thought it would be neat to play as a tribute to it. I have not seen the movies, only scenes (even though i did buy the dvds years ago lol)   but the theme song has always stuck with me.  The tab seemed good to me, i personally dont have my hand just resting on the 1 to 4 section as that is kinda more stretchy than i am used to. So i move around more/ seems easier for me that way but maybe its more economical to stay in the same place. Just thought i should mention that, so that beginners dont feel the need to stay in place for the main riff.

the rest are pretty much sugestions, was going for a chromatic week at one point so i filled the week intermediate rhythm with walkie talkie since thats one of the songs that i think of when doing chromatic riffs..

hadnt heard lenny song before reminded me of  whole lotta love, was a fun surprise. 

aldious reminded me of av7x beast and the harlot. 

easy masterclass rhythm song this week...added the jazz song for masterclass since it was the "hardest" one i played on the suggestion list its still relatively easy but should be more challenging than the other bass songs. 

added the liquid experiment song for anyone who is willing to play a 16min song. Willbyam always blows my mind tabbing such long songs and they seem to be good to me atleast.

hopefully its an ok week hope yall enjoy atleast one song.

 

new week is up here:

I'll be hosting the next week, i probably won't get back till late (forgot it was a family event today) so that will give anyone who hasnt posted yet plenty of time to participate this week.

for those who want a sneak peak this is the list atm 

think im just really missing masterclass song so if anyone has one for the 3 paths thatd be great. 

gave the song another shot since  it was updated

thanks for the week mikson!

Spoilt for choice this week and a shout-out to @ cacahuate51

Ah funny that you mention celldweller on the blue stahli song because he is actually under klaytons(celldwellers) label FIXT. I believe they were quite close as klayton used to host a weekly production video on youtube (think he stopped quite a while ago) and the producer of blue stahli would sometimes appear. There was some interesting production techniques if anyone is curious check it out. 

EDIT :Honestly i think his videos where ahead of the time as back then there wasnt that many good quality production videos. I think the second best was seamlessR which was also on the Fixt label but he mostly uses FL Studio (and is the one who usually makes the demos for fl studio).
I believe celldweller probably wouldve been more famous if he were to release them now a days but who knows since theres so much content online now.  
----
so that why it's similar vibes and I do suggest anyone to check the artists under that label if you like the vibe.
 

Celldweller also has a couple of songs in video games like nfsmw and I believe ddr2? And so did bb with blow me away in halo 2 but later that became official dlc. 

ok well i guess its time to do some changes to balance it out. Here are the changes:

LEAD
 Nintendo - Mushroom Bridge (3.5^)  to 4.5
 Beginner Bonus: Masakazu Sugimori - Objection! (2) to 2.5
 Club Penguin - Fishing Theme (Paris St. Germain) RHYTHM PATH!!  (5.5)  to 6

RHYTHM

 Masakazu Sugimori - Objection! (2)  to 3

BASS
 Masakazu Sugimori - Objection! (1.5) to 2 (at the start of the week i had put it at 2 but then replaying it i felt like it was pretty simple since you dont move around and its the same thing over the whole song so i lowered it to 1.5.  I guess its back to where it was lol)
Disturbed - Decadence (2005) (5.5) to 6
Nintendo - Mushroom Bridge (7) to 7.5 
Masato Nakamura - Special Stage (Sonic 2) (8) (E Standard) to  8.5

Hey Everybody but especially @ Vodka ,

I want to ask someone to create a cdlc of a song from one of my fav band, DDT.

Since I'm a beginner I am unable to assess which song would be interesting from a guitar/bass point of view (like not to simplistic or repetitive).

Would you please be able to advise a song that could be interesting that would have the 3 parts (lead / rythm / bass) for the championship ?

Here is a playlist of some of their songs for those who want to have a look:

I would suggest you posting ddt in here https://ignition4.customsforge.com/wishlist
or in the discord channel requests

as creators tend to check that/ youll have somewhat a better chance of it getting made.

just after shortly listening to the song i expect it would probably be atleast intermediate.

Begginer class and Masterclass is always the hardest one for me to find songs for the championship ( i dont purposefully choose hard ones lol). Mostly cause even though it may sound simple it can be more complicated than it sounds/ creators dont tab it right or dont tab all paths etc.

so I do appeciate it when beginner songs are submited here:

Practiced it a bit more. Also just remembered this song was in gh3 as dlc was fun to play.
