So this is my theme week, I hope you all enjoy it. I was inspired by @ RSjeffH  who commented recently about wanting just some old school rock...was thinking about how to bring that out in a theme week and realized there were some pretty big time classic bands who hadn't yet been played in the Championship. All of these bands are making their Championship debuts. There were a few others that I couldn't fit in (Kiss, Bad Company, The Pretenders) but I'll add the extra tested songs to the main SSL for future use.

I do apologize in advance for the difficulties being a bit bunched together, especially on Lead and Bass. The fact is that most classic rock falls solidly into the Int-Adv range. 

A big thank you to @ Mikson who helped out with Lead and Rhythm testing - also congrats on the narrow victory in Adv Bass!

But as @ kayteck mentioned, victory goes to @ Hyphema .  Yes, he was in the master class for a long time, but after watching the results, I offered him to go to the advanced class some time ago, which he agreed to.

Regarding ratings, my ratings for the Lead and Rhythm paths may be a little inaccurate as I only played those songs once and sometimes the rating could be affected by bad recognition etc. Also when I come across strange, unusual chords while visually reading (Supertramp, Chicago songs) I can't play them and I have a very poor score, which affects the rating. Also when I play song first time and find weird, untypical chords (Supertramp, Chicago songs) I can't play them and I have a poor score, which affects the rating.

[Rodman]

cool one (4.5)

 

 

 

[Mikson]

Scores from testing.

Nice song, without the solo it's a beginner level, the solo raises the rating a bit.

The most fun to play song I tested for this week. A similar situation as before, except for solo parts, is easy, so it's not difficult to achieve a score of 90+. But solos are an advanced level.

I've played this before, so this was another try. Nice classic song.

Another nice song from another great band. I tested this once so I don't know if the rating is perfect, but I felt this was such a difficult advanced.

 

[Rodman]

another great track (6.5)

 

 

 

[Rodman]

I didn't remember to screenshot all of my test scores, but here are a few:

[jellisjenius]

My apologies to @ Hyphema  who got the win in Adv Bass. 

As for the ratings on Adv v MC Bass, it's definitely a matter of perspective. I scored around 99% on my sight read of Make Me Smile, probably in part because I know and love the song. I played all of the bass songs in succession yesterday to make sure I had them in the right order, and I felt like Eiledon was more difficult. 

That said, if others feel strongly that we should switch them, I'm okay with that. For now I will keep them as is, and update the MMS difficulty to 7.

yeah let´s wait for a few opinions there. I think score cannot help us here so much, let´s see. either way both surely 7+

 

Rock, Rod.
