However, the rating of 7.5 for this one is a misunderstanding. I don't know if anyone has tested this? This is 6, max 6.5, ok fast but there are no difficult chords or riffs. Unfortunately, Wednesday is too late to change songs in classes.

I did. See above:

"Darkness sy - hard to rate a bit... yes (6.5 - 7) is a valid rating also. From my POV the rhythm is damn fast and very hard to make sound right, i take that into account esp. in Rhy path - so i´d go (7.5) "

Yes, I saw this before but I forgot about it. Anyway, while I often agree with your ratings, sometimes, as in this case, I completely disagree and, as you can see, other participants rate it similarly to me. Yes it's fast, but the chart has rather basic chords for an intermediate level, but the speed takes it to an advanced level (6-6.5). A rating of 7-7.5 allows you to promotion to the master class, and I think this is not a chart that should allow for the masterclass rank. If I didn't have problems with recognition, I think 99% would be too easy to achieve here.

I'll try to play it again when I find time and see what I can achieve.

Yeah - i appreciate your ratings too. Usually yours tend to be .5 lower than mine but we are almost always on the same ship. Rhythm rating sometimes i feel is way harder than bass where we have it quite straight forward with speed, positionshifts, patterns and technotes and in lead where the solo or melodyparts often quickly give a strong pull towards a certain diff... For me in rhy the main diff element is (next to obviously difficulty of the chordchanges) can one make the rhythm sound like it´s played in the song. Here that riff at the beginning:

 

 

Clear MC stuff with the very very fast pattern switching from muted to open - i may suck extremely there, but for me even at that low speed in RR it sounds (recording too humiliating to post ) like a lame metal-riff which it clearly is not (and it´s even charted too easy and a bit wrong, it should consist of 2 different chords if am hearing that right). A (7) at least.
For promotion to MC - yeah - sometimes a chart is not optimal competitionwise - like in cases in lead where a very easy long song holds a very hard short solo that does make it a high rating - but here - those lil fills are also (7)s i tried again a few times - a 99 is there on the horizon, but doesn´t come easy

 

 

everyone - let´s work together on the most objective ratings on all songs continuously! Always give us your impression and a short statement if you like.

Rock!

From all the Advanced Lead songs I've been seriously practicing in the RSC this is the most difficult by far

[lowender]

A little better! 

 

I'm still having trouble with note recognition with the low tuning on this one.

[Mikson]

Perfect 90%, nice!

Another difficult fight with recognition, it was close, but not enough.

[Mikson]

Improvements. I managed to exceed 90% in both paths, but I don't think I can do more than that.

[Mikson]

Bass

It was the first time I played bass with a capo, I used a guitar capo and it worked 

Rather too easy for 5, more like 4.5. Diff rating 5 may cause promotions to be too easy!

Here, the empty D string (blue) should be played on the 5th fret of the A string (yellow). Then it's much easier to play these mutes.

[Mikson]

Bass improvement

[avastreg]

what a selection!!!

Personal Jesus is one of my long loved song, but even more the Johnny Cash version.
I've played Gipsy, very nice, I didn't take the screenshot so amen
Also this famous song that gives a sense of freedom and those year (my bad sightreading = lowww score)

And finally for mc, I agree with @ Mikson , why these Japanese songs are hard as hell?
But I like this a lot, all of it. I love this genre (not a sightread, i've played 4 o 5 times):

Rhythm is 6.5/7 if u don't consider the strumming that is very articulated and very difficult to reproduce accurately. Otherwise it goes up. Rocksmith is very lax on strumming so we don't notice it from the scores. And you may finish the song with the wrists burning.

Lead is a hell! To understand the difficulty, I checked for some parts and I found only one partial guitar cover on youtube (like 1 minute of the song).

[johnal]

This one surprised me.  It has the sweep picking thing and then that lick on the B and E strings.  Will need some serious RR to get that final section more accurate.

Hi Everyone,  

It's my first week, wish I'd known about this sooner.  Sorry for asking dumb questions, but I'm not clear on whether one is just supposed to post a screenshot or if the scores are supposed to be typed in somewhere.   Thanks, and looking forward to more!

Hi! Great you are here.

We have a fancy autodetection routine running that fetches the scores and brings them over to the Leaderboard!

So just post scores of all the classes you like and maybe tell us in what classes you will like to participate.

Rock!

Rod.

i still think this shouldve swapped position with masterclass song. Its almost twice as long, its got arps with no handshapes (even if its just d variations) its got some odd placements like one imposible 2 7 chord, some parts that are tabbed arent really 100% whats in the song for example the intro/ first rr theres a section where its been tabbed as lots of open notes but to my ears it doesnt do that.
*still impressed with the tab even if it has errors its hard to make a 100% acurate tab on a song let alone a long one. Just kind of a hard one for a competition imo. 

 
harder to 100% it compared to the japanese song. i cant 100 either one but im going off % acuracy vs amount of tries and also off of other peoples scores


too many bends for me. quite impressed mikson got over 90% on this one! gj

Thanks, Rod

It's great to be here.  My recent Fleetwood Mac score did appear on the score board, but my score on Marshall Tucker from a few days ago has not been picked up, which is what prompted my question. ... best.. JS

so difficult
