Rodman, that's true. I should add a leading silence every time before I add every thing to eof. I know from earlier, if you add it lauter, every thing will be shifted and nothing is in sync anymore. Nice angry pic

 

@ fripponomic  thanks for the update! it's cool to see people have their bands on the site, i only knew about snowshovel but im sure theres way more on here.

as for leading silence:
 From what i recall if you add leading silence (10s for official according to firekorn but any is fine ) the notes should still be in the same part of the song (no need to shift anything).

You would then just need to add the empty bar (or bars?) at the start for the count in 
Beat (menu top, 6th one?) -> Push offset back (click it 4 times to make 1 bar)

and you should be good, nothing else but to save and repack it with new audio and files..

but then again i dont have a windows computer to see if I'm giving right information so i might be wrong 

havent heard this song in yeaars, just remembered it used to be on the radio alot 




not generally my type of music but it was fun.

always good to see a week by nblm cause that means steel panther will be up XD



Played this one before and considered recommending it so glad it go on here! fun song/chart



Dont know much about ghost, havent really liked previos ones on the competition but this one was good



bass one was kinda hard to read cause of improper anchors/old cdlc


fun!

Very nice song! definately keeping this one, never heard it before but i really enjoyed it. Really challenging which is always a nice surprise with bass. Kinda late to this weeks unfortunatley

Havent gotten used to my new 7th string guitar yet. keep thinking im a string below than i actually am lol. 
Glad to see tame impala this week! would like to play more of these songs in general since scores a re pretty low but running late for work.

Havent had much freetime but luckily  i was able to go through some of them

ei this is one of the songs i did to 100 for the not a fluke achievement in rocksmith years ago. Always considered putting in the suggestions but since i always had issues with the slides to 100 constantly (seems like i still do) i didnt put it. but i enjoy it.

 



yea good song. ty

altho its discoish lead guitar does get pretty crazy towards the end. nice song more difficult than usual which is always nice.

Also, this forum is limiting me on my upload sizes? I had to get this screenshot under 100 kB (what??), so I just kept taking worse and worse screen shots.

 

@ Argh1992  yea because of the upload limit i tend to upload the screenshot on imgur (website, i think there might be an app aswell) and the get the link and paste them here.

CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!! YEAH!! 

I haven't played this game, but I like and enjoy playing "Wander". I feel like is kind of unlocking some memories from my childhood or something! 

Just sharing random thoughts but... I recently saw a movie called "Tar" about a very famous and authoritarian female director of the Berlin Philarmonic, who falls from grace and her tragic finale is that she ends up conducting the score for the video game series Monster Hunter in front of an audience of cosplayers in the Philippines. That is portrayed as falling low for this conductor... but I thought to myself "I think those gameplayers actually care a lot about the music!" As a child, I remember having CDs of game music (like Dragonquest) played by an orchestra.... Anyway....

 

 

Glad you enjoyed it and did that to you!

As for random thoughts, i personally enjoy reading them  think it makes the weeks more memorable. I think you are absolutley right that game players actually care alot about the music in games, cause it can be just as good as movie scores and since you are spending more time on it it'll get stuck with you for longer. Same, i remember as a child orchestras would also feature soundtracks from both medias. So it made me kinda chuckle to read that that was cosidered the lowest point xD especially since monster hunter is/was pretty popular (never played it) but according to steam charts it had over 329k people playing it at its highest peak.. to put that in perspective, rocksmith at its highest peak has only been a bit over 4k, which really surprises me.

I decided to watch the movie cause i had nothing better to do.. I think she just had the passion to keep on doing it regardless of the circumstances..In the end it didnt matter who the audience was the only thing that mattered was what emotions it proveked them to have...which ig is also why the movie just focuses on the build up to one event rather than multiple ones or a collage of them. Thought maybe she was gonna change a bit since she threw up at the message area but it would be a bit rushed...and her soloist was also female so...idk kinda left a distastefull tatse lol

As i was writing this it brought me memories of a movie similar to this one, that i had erased from my mind on purpose xD called tellstar the joe meek story. It has james corden (uk late night tv host) as one of the actors i forgot that he was in it though. Based on a true story and it happened on a road i used to walk on every day called holloway road. But yea not the happiest type of movie xD as alot of musician movies tend to be.

It is the second time I have been promoted to masterclass in bass, so I will accept the challenge!!!

I will enjoy the flavor of last week's win in advance bass, because I won't be able to win from now on in two or three years, I think....

Besides that, I don't feel I am in masterclass, since I suck at slapping! I barely can do level two of this:

 

Eiii! Grats on the promotion! I think you and i are on the same level ish so the future will be fun!

Ooof yea i also am nowhere near the video cant do that on the bass...also wouldnt consider myself a masterclass but jelly thought so...so here i am xD but challenging songs and more participants in the class is always more exciting i think

Now I just watch people play on youtube every now and then so I can spend my freetime practicing guitar instead of grinding  

 

Eii like they say..No one truly escapes runescape, you only afk it for longer periods.. haha
On the same boat as you, yt and my phone from time to time randomly recomended me rs videos and i got stuck in that rabbit hole for a while.
Hence why i decided to try to tab some songs out... just to act like i did something proactive/ maybe would help me or others out with the guitar  
 

Very interesting and cool that one of my psarcs made it into the competition, thanks!!   I would've never expected that.

The Ian taylor songs are from a multiplayer / role player online game called runescape that i used to play alot as a teenager ( kind of like world of warcraft + skyrim..but worse graphics..and that being said ive never played those 2 but i think that gives an idea of what it is) . It might be a niche thing,..i spent months or i guess really years on that game (back when it was extremely grindy, so much so that it could be a job in some countries, now theres double exp weekends so its not as bad but still more than your average game) so the songs in there are ingrained in my brain and bring alot of nostalgia. Surprisingly enough when i have travelled around the world I somehow manage to meet people that have played it, so thats always nice.  

about the psarc :
i must admit the bass going up an octave kinda tricky...(mostly cause the part is supposed to be on a synth) maybe i shouldve put an oct pedal instead... 

i did tab the rhythm path a bit awkwardly..theres definately easier ways to play it (or atleast for an initial sight read)
lead ive 100 before but maybe it could be changed aswell.

I didn't move my pc with me unfortunately only kept my 12 year old mac. I tried to fix it with this computer, cause i want to, but havent had much luck since its kind of outdated and rs charter (mac) is relatively new/still in development.

but yea just thought i should mention it.

Really enjoy this song both listening and easy playing lol


the fast bass in between surprised me. nice int song

prety challenging fun

bass line progression reminds me of a song...think its either piano or an electronic song.. but its a sad song...slower cant find it or think of it . Anyways, surprisingly pretty hard for it just being 3 chords...guess its the speed and the flourishes.

Finnally finished moving! really want to play this week before it ends hopefully i can post something tomorrow. i tried playing for awhile with headphones but the new aptm has paper thin walls... when i play they knock sooo XD its going to be interesting how do this from now on. im guessing since its kinda late they just want to sleep which is understandable. hopefully its just a night issue and i wont have issues tomorrow morning but who knows xD

@ luckyoldme  oh i see..yea i myself dont change the format just cause i was always getting an upload exceeded on here.

i use imgur ( website)  all you do is sign in (i make it so it remembers passwords cause too lazzy) and then you drag the photo in imgur.com/upload and right click on the photo to get the url -> paste url in the competition.

but it might be more steps than what you currently are doing (since you are saying old ways are best).

you can also change the format in the photos application (from windows 11comes default on the machines) if you open it there..you just press save as on the foto and then change the format. but if you already got it to work in paint then there really isnt much difference i dont think.

cool song, gotta say it is one of the toughest advance songs i've played here in a long time ( for guitarpaths atleast)


really glad we don't show video recordings here cause on my end it sounded like a dying animal lol. Also probably will be my last post since im moving stuff out and then traveling etc.  But it was fun!

is this a cover of an old song? reminds me of one in beatles era ish dont know the name though

wanted to see if i could play it without looking/ master mode. there was more ear candy parts than i rememberd. solid begginers path imo


yea i need for practice with barred c shaped chords

didnt enjoy the lead path as much as the other 2

Enjoyed this more than the lead

main riff was kinda tricky for me lol. but yea i think its a good challening song for int.

tempo change caught me off guard. 

aaw... i was kinda hoping the song would be the difficulty of the first riff lol. lost a note after and then gained 350+ notestreak so i think its an easy 1150+ note streak. just the intro that is kinda tough cause i think it fluctuates in tempo but i might be wrong.

(while I figure out how to reduce the size of my Prt Scrn files on this new laptop)

@ luckyoldme  by size do you mean the weight /mb of the picture or do you mean what appears in the photo size (aka maybe your playing in windowed mode and it takes a photo of your desktop aswell)?

if its the latter you could try doing the shortcut for screenshots for steam (itll only ss the game) . i have it set to \ but it might be different on your computer. you can figure what it is by 
opening steam - steam button /menu - settings - ingame (looks like a screen with a control) - scroll down to screenshots-  screenshot shortkey ( there you can place whatever key you want)

you can also change where the screen shot is saved in that menu

or
if you have a windows 11 pc with a keyboard with the windows icon you can 
press window key + alt+ printscreen (should just take ingame photo)
or
windows key + g ( this will open an overlay with lots of options) go to capture. This will make a pinable moveable box appear on your screen (i like to pin it but you dont have to) click the camera to screen shot. 

it seems like you figured it out though so good job!

First attempts for the week.

This is not quite Adv level IMO - maybe a 6 but I'd bump it down to 5.5 as it's so short and repetitive:

i mean we both agreed its not advanced level so...xD

Also i l give you credit for predicting there not being a 100 percent last week, that surprised me.

@ cacahuate51  To my knowledge we have never tried to compare Lead and Bass for difficulty ratings, they are each their own thing. The average bass part for a song is going to be easier to play than the average lead part, that doesn't mean we center our difficulties around the lead difficulty. Nor should we IMO. Many of us bass players have little to no interest in playing lead guitar.

@ jellisjenius  oof i think i've had this conversation before haha.

Well yea, generally speaking i wouldnt compare lead to bass. I would however, compare rhythm to bass since sometimes it can be the same path just without chords in rock/metal/ pop / guitar centered genres. In this case, i did compare it to the lead since this one doesnt have a rhythm path but does have alot of rhythm sections that are similar to the bass . I don't think doing so is too outfield, it's not comparing two completley different instruments like piano and drums or piano and guitar ( although honestly if you are good at one you can kinda pick up the other one easier but thats not the point) . I mean in some places they even call it a bass guitar.

I do understand not every bassist owns a guitar or would want to play the guitar or vice a versa, and i respect that. But if they were given one, it wouldnt be like he/she would have no clue on what is happening . Granted there might be some techniques that one side would be better at than the other like finger picking for bass or some skills like chords maybe for guitarist but they still would manage to play, i think.

All of that being said, I also do understand that bass can be almost like 1.5x bigger than a guitar( or atleast the one i own is, kinda makes the guitars look like a kids toy) making some riffs like w/m aka 1 skip note 1 skip note 1 (3, 5, 7) harder to play (that's not the case here ) cause its a bigger stretch and on top of that the strings being a bit thicker makes it more physically demanding.

So thats why im not too opposed of bass being the same or a bigger number and imo the ideal number would be between 0 to 2 above the rhythm if its similar ( up to 2 cause that still keeps it to only  a class above) . Any higher than 2 and i think its being a bit silly because a bassist should be used to those inconveniences since it is their instrument of choice, and honestly imo those inconvences balance out not having to do chords anyways.

Also yes, it is a bit challenging.. but the name of this is rocksmith challenge so i kinda would hope it would be challenging..not much point of you getting 97+ on your competition level (or higher) first try without practicing the song or having it played before imo. If that happens i think either the song is classified higher than it should be or the player needs to be in a higher level. I personally prefer the first option as the later would promote us all to masterclass and i think that'd kinda make this not as interesting/ a bit stale. It's more interesting when you and the other participants in your category have to practice a song for several missed notes rather than play the whole song and hope to not miss that 1 note to beat someones 99.86 imo.
 

nvm the link seems to work now thanks nacho!

good tab/cdlc for bass. A bit on the easy side..think it should be advanced category 

Think thisll be the first beatle song i 100% never really play them..it's kinda neat that they borrow chords and not stick to one scale. 

Don't really understand why this is rated 6.5 when the beatle lead is harder and rated at a 3.5... i think it's a solid 3.5 or 4

Slides make it hard to get a high score. I it again but got same score and mastermode got activated on some parts. The disonant solo also kinda threw me off but its a good int song.



Eii good to see Steel Panther again. and this is one of the songs i like from them / used to play! its pretty similar to the green day song in the base game think its good kid? or kid x...generation x? something like that.

spent a good time riff repeating the solo untill i got it nailed! i think it might be the first solo i can play fully!


tried a couple more times and on s.a like 4 more times  but cant really pass the 97 mark. i feel like the chord detection is kinda iffy sometimes. kinda miss there not being a rhythm path this week.

no iron maiden ss cause i cant access it

i think you'd have better luck in discord for finding musicians. I find forums dont tend to have that many active people in general. 
I personally don't know of any discord channels for bass learners since ive never tried / never really interested me. But maybe you'd get a response out of someone in the customs forge channel in discord. 

says i cant access iron maiden song @ Nacholede

I think you are the right winner for last week @rodman since you beat my % not sure why it gave me the win.

I thought late just gave you less points, but I've never really checked.

yea i'm not 100% sure either. I just know that when i thought i would get 100% and ended up getting 99.x instead i usualy played a note that says late. but its quite possible i missed a note aswell.  I'll try to replicate it just incase.
