General Kenobi, Welcome to the championship!

damn over 98% on an album and almost 2k note streak! very impressive @ Hyphema !

oof pitched slides one of my weaknesses . fun song to play though. yea playing the guitar parts made me appreciate the song more. good intermediate song Imo the guitar paths can be int 5. The solo is short and doable (since it stays in the 12 area almost all of it, most likely just pentatonics) and thats that i avoid solos like the plague/ cant play them usually. Also cause its just a lot of single notes..and because almost every kid learns metalica as one of their first songs. atleast they did when i was growing up..and this is just more simple than those songs were. But since you did put them lower advanced i wont rant that much hah.

Cool week! i've heard of all the bands, just never played these songs from them. Also didnt notice any missing notes/wrong ones so thats always nice! fun, a bit unexpected with the fretting descisions. Just seems to be more movements across the fretboard than nessecary and then its not really consistant with that movement either (aka same sections are tabbed differently) but im guilty of doing that aswell when i find the song too repetitve hehe. good tab. Should probably check their new stuff out. Thanks for not putting Mehtallica in masterclass..wouldnt mind it being intermediate. Have a feeling this one is gonna get lots of 100s or 99s+

definatley the funest out of the bunch seems a bit tricky to 100. vocals kinda remind me of the baby song we had before by royal republic. hopefully earthrocker gets picked sometime eventually cause that one is the one i enjoyed out of the bunch that i think hyphema recommended it reminds me of a song i made a couple years ago..you can never go wrong with a bluesy riff. quite hard for the solo and in the rhythm section for the arpeggiated notes that doesnt have handshapes. but still fun. midway i was like huh this song doesnt seem to be thaat hard.. then the tappy solo came and i was like ah yes...this is why im not that level yet haha. to the people who can do it how do you hold 2 and 6 at the same time? seems like a massive stretch or ig you have to lift and shift ? ig then itd be easier hmm dunno

Yea...That makes sense, since when tones have pitch pedals it'll still recognize the note you fretted and not the pitched note. So i guess its just a placebo youre just playing it better? Or maybe you hear your mistakes with a clean tone more so you're more consious of where not to mess up which in turn makes you perform slightly better?

after practicing both for quite a while heres some slight improvements: really wanted atleast 95% but i tried a few more runs and got a slightly worse score so im just posting this one lol. (thanks for the update hameron) i liked the score for this one. at bubbledragon, your right ! i thought it was a standard triad and then a note on the d string but its not its on the g string. still new guitar vocab/voicing for me lol

hmm odd @ jellisjenius ..maybe the bass needed a bit more tuning? or maybe the open notes in between the fretted ones need to be played more clearly? i tried it again after first 100% on the new version and still managed to get 100 it was registering alot of earlies when playing it but i think thats a me issue/ i never really understood what causes early good or perfect

yea lead was fun neat surprise of a song! very interesting to try read the lyrics when not knowing the language, lots of zs and ws lol. the chord slides didnt seem to want to detect for me. Intro riffage is kinda similar to the stuff senses fails does in their songs like bite to break... or its also kinda like the chorus in f c p r e m i x by fall of troy (love that song even if i cant get a high %). learnt some new chord shapes in drop d so thats cool. i think i could get it up higher. i had no idea what was going of with the arps 2nd time i noticed that the first section actually does have the shapes so that helped a bit too bad its not in all of the song cause the rhythm path doesnt seem thaat hard. just a bit hard to read

Yea i mean take my comments about songs being lower class with a grain of salt as i will most likely always vote for a lower rating haha. Mainly because I like the weeks where you have to retry a couple of times to get a higher score and because in real life i would never consider myself anything above "intermediate" on any instrument. Also im just used to getting really low scores like 30s-60s % on r+ "advanced" or jazz paths for guitar so its just different to get low scores on that and then pretty high ones ( 85s+) in the advanced here... I do understand bass is harder to find more difficult songs (they arent tabbed, not right, or songs with harder guitar just generally haver simpler basslines) which results in bass paths being rated a bit higher on the dificulty scale than they probably should be. In the end i think its more important to get the feedback from people in those level/ categories and see how well they do.

yea, the fixed version is way more accurate for the bass thanks for the quick fix! well..i honestly think they are both intermediate songs as i dont think either have hard enough sections to warrant advanced/ they both have alot of singles / repeat / easy to 99+ it (is level up class 99 or 100?) etc. i think thats what kayteck was trying to say aswell..? but if one of thsoe two had to be advanced.. if we're going by score: i think muse one will be harder to 100% due to the pitched slides (tricky to get it to recognize it constantly). If they were unpitched: it could honestly pass as a hard begginner/ low int song 3 / 3.5 imo since its mostly a 1 string song. (so then ig white lions would be the advanced) Anyways they are pitched and the competition/ moving up in classes is about % so i understand why you gave it to muse.

good tab surprised havent heard of them before i liked it! vocalist reminds me of def leppards singer. I think this song should be lower class, it was easier than the other song (slides for me are hit or miss) .Both paths (normal and bonus) have some wrong notes in some sections. Probably my fav song this week! whenever i do octave intervals slowly it reminds me of pinkfloyds money bass line but this one is faster and funner to play for me. Never heard of them but might check them out aswell. I think i could fc it. Kinda would like this to be adv standard songs but i know it is hard to find good difficult cdlc for bass so i guess i understand why its masterclass.. although it is only like 3 sections and a short song could pass as advance song imo..

guitar sounds like alot of songs cant think of their names tho...i guess the interval distance between the two chords could be american idiot by greenday but thats a tone lower first two chords interval distance make me think of heart shapped box by nirvana but in a higher key ... lead: the fills are kinda tough rhythm: ...Its Tabbed a bit more complicated than it could be..and it didnt seem like it was consistant in the fretting positions across the song. Rare to see a vocal path but fun Cant get the double stops to recognize in the end

slightly better

my first sight reads slides messed me up. i think biffy has better songs this one isnt too memorable imo i usually avoid the clash like the plague on r+ but this one had a fun bassline. Didnt know she was still touring/ i dont think ive met someone who has gone to a concert of hers so its cool that rodmans daughter went. yea fun.

@ BubbleWrapDragon yea small sections like these are why i would consider this song harder to 100 than the one thats currently on the advanced path. Also the fact that the song is divided in quite big chunks doesnt really help in learning it. I think your approach on how its tabbed is right. but im not convinced the bends are placed on the correct notes atm.. i think it probably should be placed on the notes before the purple..so its more of a bluesy doublestop thing..so rearranging the 5 and 7 green up to the 9 and 11 orange.. itd be like : 9orange bend (1 whole tone/ so equivalent to the note on 11o, using your 3rd finger and 2nd for support in bending aswell), 7purple (1st finger), 9o bend, 7 p 9o bend, pull off 7, 9 blue (pull off 7b ?) then the chord 9777 but thats my ears and i might be wrong

Yea, so it was you @ someotherbruce ! Havent seen you in a while in the competition man! its good to see you're still active and playing surf music. Its smart that you are using other sources besides rocksmith to learn the song. i should probably do that aswell just so that the songs get stuck in my head more instead of just sightreading songs and forgetting what i played lol. Learning how to make cdlc does take some time and making them does too sometimes but i find it fun. As long as you take the time to use the guide i think you'll be okay. if you get stuck theres always the discord channel (probably quickest to get an answer), forum or i would also be happy to try to help.

cool week! i dig the theme weeks I liked this song! probably the most out of the bunch just cause i have a guilty pleasure for synthwave or songs that emulate the 80s pop/ kinda cheesy also liked the voice of barbie williams (got a little accent but i like her tone) might check her out tbh. I do have to say though there are some errors on all the paths.. not too horrible but there are there and it wouldve been nice if the rhythm guitar path would actually play the notes that the guitarist plays cause it kinda seems like the chords are from transcribing the synth part instead or something but again doesnt sound too bad. The soloish caught me by surprise at the end! not used to playing that high up i think this path would be harder to 100 (lead) than the 311 song..but they both do seem to be around the same skill imo when i was doing the spotify genres playlist back ages ago i noticed 311 was probably one of the bands that had the most cdlcs created. i still havent tried any really except for the original content one beautiful disaster that one was fun and i played it alot in gh world tour aswell /the reason why i paid for it in r 2014. this one was decent i dont think ive ever played a hendrix song fully lol but i liked the chromaticism riffs was fun to play not sure i understand the fingering on this song cause its kinda fast switching? are you supposed to bar the power chord with your middle finger after doing the sus/ police chord? cause thats what i was doing but i felt like i was gonna break my finger xD so if anyone has any tips thatd be nice. i think this song could be in the advanced category.

interesting to see week 402! didnt know @ someotherbruce played that long ago. unless im getting him mixed up with someone else? i thought he was the one who broke his arm in a bike accident havent seen him in a while.. wonder how hes been.

couple tries more! i think thats as high as itll register for me .

yea i wouldnt mind it being lower aswell. I just gave it a high score cause i didnt 100 it first try or second but i think thats tunning related or something that doesnt make the em chord get recognised for me. But overall its an easy path with few notes. btw thanks for the change of winners for last week!

woah the rng is crazzy! its like the 4th week in a row a song i suggest gets picked, i like this xD second playthroughs since i didnt take pics the first time before i suggested. Classic tune from the 2000s and good tab from Dell. the other paths are also pretty fun. For some reason in the rhythm path it doesnt detect the em chord (hence the low score)? i tried it up on the other strings by the 12 /14fret after aswell but it just doesnt work...the other chords work fine tho not sure what it could be.Still glad it got picked for this week ty. played this one again cause rhythm path is pretty hard to read... he must have some chord statuses going on.. idk not a fan of this cdlc. although it was nice to have a chalenging song for int. probably the song i liked the most this week! kinda sounded like black keys, will check black pumas out. The end filler messed me up first playthrough and i liked it enough to play it again...i still messed it up 2nd time same spot tho lol. this one seemed to be on the easy side. no surprise fillers. was chill. didnt know that way to play i think it was dm7 on the 3rd fret? so its kinda nice to learn it...or relearn it if i did and just forgot. should be easy to get a higher score since theres not really a solo per say...we'll see Yea..drop c songs on bass "are not for meee"I need heavier strings to prevent them acting like spaghetti. . cool song though, usually the vocals from periphery put me off cause the lyrics dont latch on to me but this one was ok. i do enjoy their instrumentation though in alot of their other songs.

@ Argh1992 if you have rubberbands and a pencil/pen you can make your own capo lol

@ Mikson Nooo! Don't level me to masterclass i'm still a noob. Tbf i never had done any fingerpicking till this song cause i wasnt able to do it normally. i guess its been 6months since i played this song cause the last time i played it was doing the video / when i suggested it. But thats when i used to play it a ton of times infact i think one of lilramens older cldlc versions (not the one in the video) was better because it had the fingering on the chords this new version doesnt for some reason...and i think the tones were louder aswell so it was easier tot ell if you were playing it right or wrong. so i do admit it probably looks harder than it is without knowing what fingers to use on the fretboard as long as you only use the 1st and 2nd finger (index and middle) on the red(2) orange(1) strings you should be fine. the 9 hammeron orange and slide i use the ring finger (3)... then for the 5r 4y 7g chord i use the pinky (4) on the green string... chorus is just typical punk song..i think paramore has one thats similar and then it just repeats... except for the bridge.. which uses the same 547 chord above and a new one thats 4r(1) 5g(2) 7b(4) (i suggest just practicing switching between those two chords cause its kinda awkward atleast for me it was) and then it repeats and thats it. 3 to 4 section song Your comment made me want to give the song another shot just strumming it/no fingerpicking. I find it a tad bit harder just cause you have to be very precise with what strings you pick and strumming the chords has to be very clean which i cant do consistantly yet but it does seem to be doable. However if you finger pick (never too late to learn a new skill and always handy) i find it to be cleaner and easier but maybe they do just strum it live dont know tbh. thumb for red strings, index for orange, and middle for green is what i do but whatever finger combination suits you best like you could just use thumb and index. (just keep in mind its best to keep the pick in your hand for the chorus hold it with the fingers your not using..although i guess technicly you could do the whole song fingerpicking havent tried though) still don't think this should be on the same level as mariachi or whitesnake but i do understand it can be a bit challenging
