Yay. Cool week coming up. Quite ok difficulties to get everyone busy i think. The Wet Leg song is a bit on the edge for the CS as it has quite some pauses in the chart.... but in the end it made it to the show cause it´s a damn cool.

Enjoy!!!

Rod.

Ah! i shall not forget:

CONGRATULATIONS TO

@ aNDESmASAMUNE and @ BubbleWrapDragon who love Boy George now!

Well well done!

Rock,

Rod.

Rodman · February 10

from testing, that was all fun!

BubbleWrapDragon · February 10

I like beginner songs that are like this, where it's just one thing idea repeated and near the end of the song I learned how to play it

This was harder than I thought for me

It's a 7* probably because of the solo, but I might work on it this week just focusing on all the other parts and see where it leads to

Not sure if the solo is possible to 100%it because of Rocksmith's recognition issues.

It's all enjoyable songs

BubbleWrapDragon · February 10

@ Rodman
My first try at that song - I think it's a harder song than Karma Chameleon was, especially with all the more uncommon chords and there are some quick changes in it as well.

With all those breaks in there in a 6 min long song as well it's gotta be nerve-wracking when you're attempts are close to 99% accuracy

Was that song a 5 as well back then?

The first section of the solo, I have set to ignore all those notes. It's a bunch of natural harmonics on non-typical frets, so no penalties.

Hi,

This path keeps crashing on me!!!

cacahuate51 · February 11

improvements since i probably wont be able to play again this week

cacahuate51 · February 11

i think i did better first time i played it but i pressed renumerate button instead of screenshot apparently so i had to play it again.

lots of single notes..cool song

Daz40 · February 11

Tired red through's

Not too keen on this weeks songs except the riot one maybe they will grow on me

aNDESmASAMUNE · February 12

CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!!!

My first post of the week!!!

YEEEAAAHHHH!!!

I mean, is this real??? Did I really get a promotion to advance???

I can't believe I am finally in the big leagues of the Championship!!!

I think I am happier than when I graduated from university!!!

Definetely It would have taken longer for me to improve this much if I hadn't joined.

So, here we go!!!

----

Wet Leg - Chaise Longue // Well, I think we are permanently a couple of weeks away from not having any song for begginers, so I am always trying to add songs in this class. I give all of you an advice: if you want one of your songs to be chosen... Add song for begginer class!!!

And yes, there is a problem with this song having blanks, but I still think this is good practice for begginers. Even the rhythm path I think it is a good practice of playing the strokes right in a chord in a fret higher than 12... and this is what rate 1 looks like!

The song for advance this week is not too difficult -except from the solo!- but It will be a big challenge competing here!!!! I will have to work five times higher than the others in this category!!!
