1. Criticism and diff ratings are welcome. Especially for the lead and rhythm mc. I don't know if it's not too easy, it's kinda a low 8 for me.

2. Bass adv. is all slap. I can't slap, so I just play it with standard two fingers technique (turns out rs does not care). If any of you play slap bass, please rate the difficulty.

I don't know id this is exactly the thread for it but I played two of the songs from this week and now my audio on the game is really laggy and scratchy. I've restarted it, checked my headphones, and my Mac but its just the game's audio. I don't know what happened or what to do now

1. We have an intermediate and advanced bonus in the bass path, and no normal selections?

2. I think if the bass chart is based on the Slap&Pop technique, this is the masterclass or gog level. I know Rocksmith doesn't recognize it correctly and we can play it like regular notes, but we should consider playing it correctly and difficulty rating based on that. But that's my opinion, I don't know how it was done in the championship in the past.

1. Ups, my bad. The post is fixed now, I'll do the leaderboard once I get home.

2. I kinda think it's ok for a hard advanced, but if there's consensus we can switch it out ofc.

exactly my weakness, apreggios, yay (6)

 

 

 

[Rodman]

 

the 80s

 

[Rodman]

what a fun tune (7.5-8)

 

 

 

[Rodman]

oh my... what a kickin kickin song!

 

 

 

[Rodman]

lead also so much fun (7.5)

 

 

 

 

 

[Rodman]

bass.. thats (8.5)

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Rodman]

Clear mc here. (9)

a good song to start on or brush up ones slapping technique. rusty there but it went ok, it´s my 3rd time i had to in the cs.

very good mc track.

Please switch adv and mc. adv get a rather hard one here, that´s fine!

 

 

 

[avastreg]

You had to see my face when I realized (listening to it) that the Arc en Ciel song was the soundtrack of the Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) anime, which was one of my favorite animes when it came out (I was in my early 20s)

So I love it! Rhythm is a 7.5

Lead with the solo is 8 but I need to study it 

I've listened also to Maximum Hormone.. I didn't expect that, but I like the great difference between Rollings Stones and them

Also Nightwish is always in my heart. Every early song

Thanks for the choices!

Done. Everything should be fixed now, I think.

sight-read... didn't really had the time to understand what was happening 

sight-read

[nlbsmglsk]

Haven't played this in a long time.

[nlbsmglsk]

Well, shit, after playing it a bit more it turns out it is closer to a 7 than an 8. It also turns out that I'm not that good at rating these.

This one's been in my bass warmup playlist for a while.

Rhythm for fun.

Probably need some more practice on this.

[avastreg]

@ nlbsmglsk  yes it's probably easier than the average mc but hey sometimes it's satisfying to learn the solo properly without grinding too much 

@ Bottledpat12 reveal to us your secret. Do you learn and memorize every part before doing a run? Or is extreme sight-read combined with total precision in execution? We're curious!!

 

mc lead in the meantime

Lead

I like this album, although I haven't listened to it for a long time.

Old Nightwish songs I always appreciate.

These two screenshots are from the old days when I tested the songs, I will try again.

A light masterclass, but it might be.
