Rodman · February 17

Welcome to the CF Rocksmith 2014 Championship!

-= Week 539 =-

10 Years of Championship on customsforge.com! ...

Exactly 10 years ago that post happened:

we really have come a long long way.

Thx goes ot to anyone helping make that thing better or participating in the contest!!!!

I wanted to have at least one song of each year, with the help of submissions from players and organisers and i think we have hell of a week. Most fun to play charts of them all. I recommend to try all of those.

I must say there are songs that would have been there if they didn´t turn official by now:

Stacy's Mom, Tribute, Black Sunshine - highly recommended to purchase those - just so cool to play! iif you like post screeners of that ODLCs also.

But now... let´s just rock as hard as we can. Have a sensational week!

Wow, so many songs! So let's start celebrating!

I've played most of these songs before, but now that I've come back to them I've managed to get a better score almost everywhere, so that's satisfying.

.

This is the first time I played ithis song. A perfect song for beginners, in my opinion this should be the main song for this week's beg class.

I played this once before in the championship. Improvement 98 -> 99%. I don't think this is more difficult than AC/DC song.

Cool song, the solo gave me a little problem. 95% -> 97%.

One of the songs from the first weeks I started participating. Same accuracy as before.

Ok, this is a nice song, but the chart is more rhythmic, I would prefer to play something more solo in lead path. Great improvement 89% -> 95%.

I wonder if I like playing this band's songs? Their charts appeared several times in the championship and on the one hand they were ok, but there was always something about them that annoyed me, for example the strange and uncomfortable solo here...

I haven't played this song for a long time, although I do play something from IM from time to time. I messed up the intro part, I would have to spend some time learning it. The rest of the song went well and huge improvement from 81% to 90%!

This I played for the first time and for me it's probably the least fun song from the selection.

@ Rodman Thank you for making a great selection. Have a nice week!

Some benchmarks... monkeys and maiden are old scores i should be able to improve on. I let me wife do the ac/dc as she is more of a beginner than I am. I'll need to RR body bag a few times to even get through it and i feel like i'm not even playing the same song as sparton.

Incredible Week!!! And incredible achievement.. 10 years is a lot!! I've started in week 437 or so and it seems a lifetime ago so I can't imagine from week 17!!!

@ Rodman but why week 17 in your screenshot? there wasn't a week 1? just a curiosity

I'll start playing all these songs as soon as the family allows me

That´s a good question

Before CF customs scene started at a webpage called Smithy Anvil - there the Championship was started. when the webpage went down all of a sudden CF was born and the championship moved over - that was week 17.

Rock Hard!
