Now the leaderborad says bonus, and I think that's what was played on week 168, but the post doesn't mention it. So, not sure which arrangement to play, I did both. (Spoiler: the bonus one is a lot harder).

Good catch - thanks! I updated the OP to reflect that the GoG track should be Bonus Lead.

Never liked Amorphis before joining the Championship, and they are still noting i listen to outside of RS.  But they are my absolut favorite band to play along to. Their lead guitar parts are just so much fun to play.

I feel like I'm doing actually better than this

As a heads up in the posts on these topics for the past couple of weeks the link to leaderboard has been broken. This time it's linking to Metallica CDLC for me.

[Anwyn]

Can't resist Amorphis.

 

[Anwyn]

Master class sight reads and slight improvement in adv lead.

 

[Anwyn]

Muse never fails to have me sing along.

 

[Mikson]

Time for Lead:

Nice to play, riff is a bit hard for me.

90 is good here.

I noticed you play only beginner songs this week and last week too. I don't know if you know, but @ Rodman upleveled you up to the intermediate class on lead - look at the week 427 topic 

 

@ jellisjenius Please fix the link to the leaderboards, I recently corrected it on the topic of my week so you had to copy an older post.

[ShankD]

Slight improvements

 

Failed at literally the last note in the song

 

That'll work for now

Thanks, No, I hadn't noticed. I'll try them out

[jellisjenius]

Sorry about the leaderboard link - I'll fix it now.

much better than i expected, might quit whlie ahead

[luckyoldme]

i was a real fumblefingers yesteday but better today

[jellisjenius]

Not too long ago this seemed like a fun challenge, I guess I've improved  

(But also it's definitely a 3 not a 2)

Also a 3ish, maybe 3.5, fun beginner chart:

I would probably rate this as a 3.5-4 but I don't think it qualifies as intermediate by our current standards:

...and then a huge jump to a legit advanced chart. The walking parts are fun but the bulk of the song that sits on the 1-4 frets would be much more playable if it was tuned down to like a C Std or something. Unless you have very long fingers it's just not fun or comfortable to play IMO:

And finally a really old school Maiden track from the era when it sounds like Steve Harris' hands were on fire the way he was playing. I honestly prefer his slightly less crazy and substantially more sophisticated and tasteful basslines from mid-late 80s but this is still a good challenge:

 

[Hyphema]

...quadrant4 feels like it's 13-f'n minutes long

[Bottledpat12]

Felt like doing rhythm and bass for Quadrant4, couldnt even get the 50 checkpoint on rhythm 

 

 

[ShankD]

Might be my last run with this one

[Mikson]

Rhythm time.

Invaders is easier.

And second attempt on advanced lead.
