Ok... couldn´t finish all testing for just being dead tired. Everything doesn´t look so bad - we will have to see for order esp on beg/int lead and also the lower bass diffs are close.
Should be a nice week.

 

@ Daz40 moves to Adv Bass, @ aNDESmASAMUNE to MC Bass (for reaching the autouplevel target) - please let me know if you wanna stay down!

and @ woodyNL to Int Bass (cause he wants to)

 

Rock!

Rod.

[RaZrShReD]

either the chart is out of key or tone is pitch shifted to B....

[RaZrShReD]

those high fret runs are hard to nail!!

[RaZrShReD]

this bassline is wild, i love it!

 

[Rodman]

nice one (3)

 

 

 

[Rodman]

nice, i´d go (4.5)

 

 

 

[Mikson]

I'm glad we have Reapers this week. A very fun song to play on both guitar and bass!
@ Rodman  - from what I can see, I've only tested the lead path in Ian Taylor song. I hope you checked rhythm and bass.

Edit. I forgot to change it but beginner bass was rated too high in last week. It was 2/2.5 max I think. So I'd let @ woodyNL  be a beginner unless he wants to level up.

[Rodman]

@ Mikson all is good, Woody told me to level him up.

Nice (7) as i rated before. All is good with the tone over my amp

 

 

 

[Rodman]

clear (8)

 

 

 

[BubbleWrapDragon]

I love this kind of progression in the chorus

 

Not sure if I can learn this one this week, but I'll look into it again later

So much going on, it'd take forever for me to learn this one for sure

 

[coldrampage]

Should probably go for the 99 but I don't want this song stuck in my head all day.

Pretty nice.

[jellisjenius]

@ Rodman  I strongly suggest using Dell's version (either his or Hettmar's in the Alt Bass path) for A Lifetime of War bass path.

[nlbsmglsk]

not really my thing

Very interesting and cool that one of my psarcs made it into the competition, thanks!!   I would've never expected that.

The Ian taylor songs are from a multiplayer / role player online game called runescape that i used to play alot as a teenager ( kind of like world of warcraft + skyrim..but worse graphics..and that being said ive never played those 2 but i think that gives an idea of what it is) . It might be a niche thing,..i spent months or i guess really years on that game (back when it was extremely grindy, so much so that it could be a job in some countries, now theres double exp weekends so its not as bad but still more than your average game) so the songs in there are ingrained in my brain and bring alot of nostalgia. Surprisingly enough when i have travelled around the world I somehow manage to meet people that have played it, so thats always nice.  

about the psarc :
i must admit the bass going up an octave kinda tricky...(mostly cause the part is supposed to be on a synth) maybe i shouldve put an oct pedal instead... 

i did tab the rhythm path a bit awkwardly..theres definately easier ways to play it (or atleast for an initial sight read)
lead ive 100 before but maybe it could be changed aswell.

I didn't move my pc with me unfortunately only kept my 12 year old mac. I tried to fix it with this computer, cause i want to, but havent had much luck since its kind of outdated and rs charter (mac) is relatively new/still in development.

but yea just thought i should mention it.

[RaZrShReD]

always seem to get lower scores when 100% in SA, I guess it has to do with my setup (im using my own tones) !

[RaZrShReD]

better.

[RaZrShReD]

[RaZrShReD]

having some recognition issues with this rhythm chart!

[RaZrShReD]

this is fun to play, some tricky sections in there and the variety of rhythm parts keeps it interesting throughout! might give this another shot...
