It's going to be a good week. I have tested each of these songs and they are all fun to play. The genres are vary as well, from more pop/dance at the lower classes to heavier vibes in the high classes. We also have another song from our friend @ fripponomic  band - good again!

I added a 3-week GoG/GoR/GoB competition. The Seventh Wonder song is not a full album but a long 30-minute composition, so I decided that 3 weeks was the right time for this.

Have a nice week!

Don't know how I won. 

Other people had perfect scores, and I don't know if I'm ready for intermediate but I'll give it my best shot.

The answer is simple, but I don't know if it will make you happy. 
You won because you were one of 2 participants in the beginner bass class. The rest of players are competing in higher classes and their beginner score was just for fun. In the intermediate class it won't be so easy if you take a promotion.

I'll give it a shot. I like playing stuff I never heard before. Sounds cool and funky.

 WORLD WIDE ROCKSMITH CHAMPIONSHIP!!!  

FIRST NIGHT, YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! 

Thank you a lot @ Mikson  for setting up the week!! Always grateful, man!!

And welcome on board @ Minute2Midnight  !

 OK, so here we go!

---

 I should improve my score just because I liked playing this song!

 Great to have another Sparton song! The basslines are always fun to play. I am surprised and very happy getting this score in the second try, after playing it once in slow speed with RR.

So now my class in RHY... 

Sabaton - Bismarck >  This is really fun to play. My hand hurst when I do this kind of songs with lots of palm mute, meaning I have to improve my technique... so tonight spend some time trying to improve my technique with "minimal effort". I am happy with the progress.

Hehe, I'm happy to be somewhat of an inspiration to you
It did end up having lots of parts in it that are more on an advanced level, so I ended up being able to play a few parts okish

And at all the hard parts mimic the general movements as best as I can to hopefully have an easier time with faster stuff someday - It's probably not the best thing to practice right now though
