My first week!

Just one note: on bass I didn't change any submitter ratings, because I'm not so familiar with it (I don't even have a bass). I've checked the songs emulating the bass with the guitar and everything sounds fine, and from my limited experience I think bass ratings are absolutely plausible.

Some test scores

[Mikson]

@ avastreg Good selection! I am starting test runs.

Nice vibes, but this is really easy (easy riff + easy basic chords with long time to change).  Max (2) for me.

This can feel like it's the old CDLC (2014). It is a bit different from today's standards, I find it difficult to play when the scroll speed so slowly, which makes the notes very dense. (5) is ok.

(6) by a solo.

(8.5), because tapping and fast solos.

Any week with The Darkness is excellent (they put on a great live show too), add Echo and the Bunnymen and it's even better. 

[cacahuate51]

congrats on your first week @ avastreg ! really fun picks

great tab like always from coldrampage and fun song for begginers!


this ones really simple but i can understand because of the slide its rated a low intermediate


love me some bunny and it was challenging/ the only one i had to restart to fc! really enjoyed it and i think was great for intermediate!


glad to see steel panther make it to the championship again! unfortunaley its a song i always skip when listeining to the album but something is always better than nothing! i think this one is pretty simple especially since the scroll speed is slow. I wouldve rather it be a high intermediate song than a low advanced.



If theres riverside I'm playing it!!! scroll speed is insane if you go from steel panther to this xD but the tab on itself seems pretty simple will definatley try to up the score and i think its pretty fcable. I kinda wished this was advanced instead of mc since i was able to get 97 on first run.

How fitting that the tuning shows up in the title as "Asian Hooker-e-STD" 

LOL

LOL... cannot focus on playing this song along... makes me lough so much...

and together with such a nice riff and so "epic" melody... it makes it even more hilarious.

[Rodman]

[Rodman]

[Rodman]

(6) yes, another awesome unknown to me song

 

 

 

[Rodman]

ah, nice music! (4.5ish) (5) is ok for the low low tuning

 

 

 

[Rodman]

confident sightread on the lterature nobel prize nominee guys ... (8.5) solo is in some parts a bit above 8, rather 9 i´d say

 

 

 

[Rodman]

(7) pure fun. Seen them guys at NovaRock that summer - great show, they exactly know how to start a party

 

 

 

 

[luckyoldme]

Great fretting exercise for me.

Looking at the Intermediate song now. 

[Rodman]

[Rodman]

[avastreg]

I like them! I've never heard them before the competition, and maybe I prefer the first song, but they have a very distinctive sound

anyway Steel Panther (never listened before) is the great winner this week, hilarious 80s like song with those lyrics, I will play it a lot even if it's not in my league
