I'm waiting for @ cacahuate51 to level up to masterclass because I have no chance to compete with him  

 

 

Pppffft you tend to say that when we are just singlle digits apart lol. You are just 2 % and are more than capable of reaching past me  Just rr sections you tend to miss more notes, work smarter not harder (aka playing the whole song alot of times) 

Also I have no desire to shred so i think you're gonna be stuck with me for a while.  And you'll have to be carefull with other competitors such as @ Satinuke  or @ drand  . 
@ AndreCardoso  had mentioned earlier he was getting 98s so i wonder why he didnt post that, or maybe he was refering to songs in bass.

nope still wont show in game... dont worry, its probs my game it does this every now and then for no apparent reason

I think that happens when you have a cdlc with a  p(1).psarc or p(x).psarc aka you downloaded two or more of the same cdlc in the folder.  Cause atleast for me it appears in game just fine. I would also try just removing all cdlc and only having that cdlc in the folder to see if it still doesnt appear.

I'm having the opposite problem 

98.55 %, 97.55 %, 98.44 % . So I better stop it  

ah yes, that happens to me aswell but i dont post those screenshots when it does happen hehe

@ Mikson  well i gave it a go even though its past thursday by now. As i mentioned before due to mixing and other reasons (im a noob) its  abit hard for me to distenguish notes.

After watching a couple of live videoes they play the song transposed -2 semitones in concerts (probably so that the singer can reach the notes)  just fun lil fact.

One of the comments mentioned that fear of a blankplanet (porcupine tree) and this one are one of his go tos, and yeah funnily enough i like both songs aswell. So I ended up using the dist from it cause it sounded similar to my ears/decent. I thought we had played it in the championship? guess not yet.

The lead path is basically the same as the rhythm path just with the cure ish solo/ guitar line towards the end 

Probably needs some tweaking in the arps but thats the best i could do for now lol

I also changed the ID so it shouldnt affect having the other file aswe;;.

Oh and after tabbing it i realized why i though the last part sounded like it shouldve been another song, cause its in another slower tempo and triplets.. so yeah couldve been another one but i guess since its kinda similar notes thats why they kept it.

I dislike posting lots of scores of the same song right after another so i apologize for doing so. Just wasn't expecting to get better scores.


i think that'll be it for me on this song.

i think weve played harder songs in advanced, imo its a 6.5 eventhough i havent gotten a "good" score yet. The song doesnt really have a solo and its mostly just triads. There are some uncomon triads sprinkled there but they arent that many and once you know how to play them its not that big of an issue.

not many notes in this song so kinda hard to get a good score

chords caught me off gaurd.

Hmm I thought there were no guitar tabs for this, but now I see that there are some, I just don't know how correct they are. Maybe you should try, because you're probably better at improving/adding something by ear than I am  

https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/riverside/addicted-guitar-pro-1904934

Also, I admit that this is a song I put on the suggestion list a long time ago and I chose it this week when looking some advanced bass path, but when I played it later, diff 7 is a bit too high. So I changed it to 6.5.

I think the guitar tab sounds good on its own and could be a decent starting point but its not what is being played in certain areas of the guitar. for example  the arpegios sound a bit different to me, so i tried looking at live videos and didnt have much luck cause the guitar is pretty well hidden in the mix (but the guitarist does seem to fret in different spots of the fretboard) . I am surprised that there are so many videos of riverside on yt though cause when i saw them live they were one of the bands that had a message in the beggining saying "please do not record us or upload footage online"

I forgot that the singer does play bass with a pick so its kinda neat that the cdlc added that in the information (i dont think i even know how to ? but thats the problem of not doing cdlcs consistantly)

but yeaah not sure if i would dive into making it as i mostly just do bass tabs and this bass has already been done i might have a deeper look on thursday when im free.
 

Ok due to miksons post/inbox and the fact intermediate players werent able to get past 90% in vengaboys i have switched the dificulty level of the song from a 

4.5 to a 6

if anyone disagrees please let me know, as this is just to balance things for future songs. And asalways try to leave numbers next to songs if you disagree with their ratings.
 

fun fun, wish it had guitar paths cause it sounds like it would be nice to play. Riverside is one of the few bands where i dont mind thaaat much the duration of songs (although the last 30 seconds without the bass or so coulve been a different song)

This one ended kinda weird? Was also surprised the bassline was more complex than I wouldve imagined genesis to be. Good surprise and pretty easy.

This selection took me longer than I thought because I still couldn't find the right difficulty charts for each class. After a while I think the selection is ok.

As for the list of winners for the previous week it may be updated because I don't know if all the scores are on the leaderboard - it looks a bit messy there 

@ cacahuate51  Maybe you know if everything is ok?

Have a good week everyone!

Looks fine to me?

When changing the difficulties it no longer detected everything it previously detected but was still capturing everything new ( thats why daz40s scores are on the list) . I just added the missing scores (everything from the start of the post to my name a while back thats why jobs scores are present).

If a participant is on a list that he shouldnt be, (aka its not his class) all you have to do is add a * at the end of his name ( noticed that you were being counted for some intermediate scores) but yea it should be fine now. I think when the name is blue that means he should have an * in his name but not 100% sure.

Edit EXCEPT you know we should take that asterisk off in your name in masterclass rhythm hehe jk

riversides gonna be fun thanks!

Checked the current leader board so gave it one more go!

 

Worse score, multiplier and streak but higher accuracy than my previous submission, funny how that happens!

nooo you were sneaky, who knows if ill have enought time to beat it  good job!

Thanks @ robolechuga  for reposting your scores.

If others who posted in the first two pages/dont see their scores on the score table could repost their scores that would be great (aka just copy paste your image links to a new post).

The creators of the automatic score recognition have yet to reply so it seems like it probably won't get fixed this weekend.

I just added them manually since it was something that i caused. the first 2 pages should be back on the list.

My first time joining the championship. It's good for me.

Cool, welcome to the championship!  Hope to see you in the current week 602 and any future ones. feel free to play as many paths as you can so we have a better idea of which class to put you in

Yea so kinda silly, but seems like reposting your scores is the temporary fix if you want your scores to appear on the scoreboards automatically for now. 

testing to see if copypasting old scores will appear on score tab.

score for the new beginner lead path
 

Ok so I have now updated paths with an average diff lvl as i said i would  so it should be a bit more balanced.

Unfortunatley this breaks the automatic score table for previously submited scores but will probably be fixed at the end of the week. 

I have also made alt lead the main path for beginners since the main lead was bumped up to 3.5 @ Willyam  should be easier if you have time and want to give it a ago.
 

bass tescores





oof goofed up on a hammeron owell.
@ drand  i believe there's many ways to do octaves its just what feels best for you.
Sometimes like in this playthrough i use my thumb for the first note and strum downwards meanwhile i use my middle finger to strum upwards.
Othertimes if im lazy ill use a pick and just do pure downstrokes. Using picks sometimes is "taboo" with basist but i find it kinda silly to not use it. It's a tool and if you have one and play better with it then by all means do so. At the end what matters is what it sounds like, it shouldnt matter how you play it.


Much respect to you @ JobwanMojo  for your score on this song, some sections are mental. And glad you atleast enjoyed one song this week! 

my lead and rhythm testscores









says 80s but really i was just strumming like a mad man and moving my hand all over sooo doesnt really count lol.

Kind of surprised not that many posts this week, I wonder what's up.

I heard Jeris is a classic 2020s nepo baby solo artist so it tracks that he’s got more listens especially if he’s milking tiktok… I had blocked that Papa Roach remix from memory tbh so bad

 

Imo nepobaby is a weird term. I would imagine it would definately help if you've got family or friends in the bussinnes but at the end of the day that can only take you so far since you can't really "force" someone to like your music lol. Also, if i were in the position to give an opportunity to someone  who really desired that position in a field i was in, aka friends or family, I think there would be no hesitation in trying to help them accomplish their dreams if you could, but maybe that's just me?

Nepotisim /nepo baby is only bad if they are half assing it/ they are being forced by family or friends as its not really their personal dream. But since music is subjective and not something really measurable, it is an odd term to throw around in my opinion for anything in the "Arts category". Unfortunately there will always be someone more talented unrecognized out there due to x reason but I think platforms like tiktok has sort of helped there. Who knows how the algorithms works or if the views are legit or whatever but you still gotta respect the hustle if they are putting out lots of content.

And yeah it was wiped out of my memory aswell  i was surprised they even had a music video together. 

Speaking of nepobabys tho lol south arcade has a song called that and it was one i was considering instead of the one i chose, but i like the guitar riff more on stone cold summer
