The songs for this week are:

Tribute to B.B. King:

Guitar: B.B. King - Chains and Things
Lead Path:

Beginner: N/A
Intermediate: George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag (Chosen by @@Latsch )
Advanced: Gary Moore - The Loner (Kaijin's version) (Chosen by @@Kaijin )
Masterclass: Rush - Working Man (Chosen by @@Choaralaone )

Rhythm Path:

Beginner: Joachim Deutschland - Ich tu was ich will (Chosen by @ )
Intermediate: Rush - Working Man
Advanced: Gary Moore - The Loner (Kaijin's version)
Masterclass: N/A

Bass Path:

Anoucement! We initially wanted to add new bass class, but that was probably bad idea. We are satisfied with current 4 class model, and that class (or Beg) could stay empty. But we still want 5th bass song, so let's do it this way: Each week we will have one additional song for one of the lower 3 classes. At the end of the week there will be two winners declared. And @@Rodman will add points to his leaderboard for each song (so there will be double points in that class). Let's try it that way, we'll see if it works how it should.

Beginner: Gary Moore - The Loner (Kaijin's version)

Beginner 2: Joachim Deutschland - Ich tu was ich will
Intermediate: A.J. Croce - So in Love
Advanced: George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag
Masterclass: King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man

(Frippchen's version here - it should be same)

Share with us your opinion on this weeks songs difficulty scores (1-10).

Honorable list Diehard men:

Playing in their class 4 weeks in row, one pass allowed (they have preference when choosing a song from song selection list for next week).

This will be a hard week for me. The bends in lead are hard for me and i don't know the chords in the rhythm. It will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm going to drink some wine now.

Proof that DD sucks: I played 6 times with DD and failed, played once without and pass

First semi-serious attempt (I'd played through it a few times before it was chosen). Score isn't too bad:

But it looks like I have more than a little room for improvement in the second half:

First entry in 33 weeks apparently. Is anyone else having trouble getting Little Green Bag showing up in game? It's hard to play it if isn't in the song list....

Anyway here's my rhythm entry, bloody love this song and have played it quite a bit so a nice entry straight off the bat! http://i.imgur.com/efJgfM8.png

I think the songs are in the right difficulty order. :D

@@storm20200 I can see it. Try with only Green Bag in your cdlc library. It can be that it has conflict with other cdlc.

I mysteriously had a .crdownload file with the same name in my dlc directory, it works now! I'll give it a go tomorrow.

was about to try rush rhythm, but rocksmith crashed

Kaijin · May 9, 2015

If anybody finds anything wrong with Gary Moore - The Loner, just let me know and I'll fix it a.s.a.p..

I just released v1.4 yesterday, it's supposed be the final version and no errors should be found, but after so many hours in EoF customizing the bends of lead arrangement to match as best as possible the way Mr. Moore played them, amongst many other things, it's possible that I might have overlooked something, so just let me know what that is and I'll fix it.

Thanks and I hope the ADV players enjoy both the lead and the rhythm arrangement (btw, the 2nd half of the rhythm arrangement was fully charted by me, since the tab file only had the notes until the middle of the song, so I had to figure it out on my own and given that I don't have any music theory knowledge, it's most likely that there are several mistakes, if so, just say where).

maybe you needed this six times to pass :P

I tried one time with DD and failed in SA, after that I changed to NDD and tried easy

http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150510/n3rdfpic.jpg

this song needs a few plays.

I saw one little issue in a later part with an unisono bending which both strings e and b are bended but only b should... only way to get no miss here is a slide what sounds wrong.

fripponomic · May 9, 2015

yes, needs a few... and RR

not as fun song, the fast parts in the middle behind the solo just sound like noise when i'm playing them, mostly because i'm playing pretty poorly.

I'll keep plugging away on the int lead and beg rhythm, probly done with rush for now though.

Choaralaone · May 9, 2015

Yay one of my songs got picked.

Have a display monitor now but need a new lead for it :( it's hurting to not participate, these songs are great :) be back on it asap.

albatross213 · May 10, 2015

I forgot to mention this earlier, but I noticed a part in the bass section of Working Man that seemed a bit off. In the pulloff riff (around 3:15 into the song) it has the note after the pulloff being on the D string, whereas it seems like it should be on the E string (which would better follow the guitar, and also make it the same as the part around 3:27 but an octave lower). It's not a huge deal either way, but it feels a little bit weird for me to play it the way it is now.

The end's also not synced up well, but since it's just a few notes I can't say I care much at all. Just figured I'd mention it along with the above.

(Also, should I be posting this here, or on the song comment thread?)

Edit: While I'm at the podium, I'll also say that it would be nice to have many more RR sections for (at least) the bass part. Two of the sections under the solo are over a minute long!
