 WELCOME TO THE WORLD WIDE ROCKSMITH CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK 551 

 ARE YOU READY??!!!

YEEEEAAAAAH!! 

---
As always, it is with great pleasure that I am hosting this week!!!
I hope you like the selection and enjoy the week. 

A few comments about the diff ratings of the songs:
= Green Day / Dilemma > This song was suggested as a begginer song, but I thought it was a bit harder than usual, so that is why I gave it 3.5.
= Meat Puppets /    Backwater > Long time ago I added this song thinking it was intermediate, but @mikson changed it to advance. I trust @mikson ratings more than myself! After checking the song, I think he was right, as usual!
= Ian Dury & The Blockheads / Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick > This song was added as an advance song for rhythm and bass, but I though both deserved to be in masterclass, specially the bass. 

Let me know what you think about the ratings! Any other random comments about the songs are very much welcome!

Have fun!!!

huh odd i was just thinking of lvoeshack the other day ! cool to see it hopefully itll be fun to play

[cacahuate51]

cool week!



dont usually tend to enjoy newer songs from bands but this one was pretty good although the chorus does seem very familiar so maybe thats why i enjoyed it

iconic song!!  though i think mustve grown up with a shortened version /edit cause it felt like it dragged on more than i remembered it.

not too sure how to play the upper half of the guitar part...find the bend kinda awkward not used to bending double stops like that not sure how i would either xD so if anyones got tips thatd be nice. cause usually i just bend the string that is on the thicker string not the thinner one..


never knew the name to this song but ive heard it alot and seen the videos of them playing it on yt feed a bit. glad to play it got a good bass line. the upper riff caught me offguard but its doable with practice..and the rest of the song is pretty easy.
/
this one also seemed doable but i did a bad job at eye sight.



i think this one is easier too 99+ than the love shack one for rhythm path (altho thats cause i dont get how to play love shack)


solo seems to be straight forwardish but a couple of bends so well see later on if i can up it

I haven't heard the song before but with the tone of the bass and the bassline, it was clear it had to be Thundercat playing it. I would have been surprised if it turned out to be anyone else

[loudly]

Thanks for adding this week too.

Maybe....it will be difficult week for me.

First results:

Failed a note right at the end...

 

This one will test my resiliency with all those alternating 1st and 3rd frets on different strings (my hand starts to ache at the middle of the song)

 

Seems doable to me.

Thx @ aNDESmASAMUNE  great songs!

My Dad died all of a sudden last week. Saddest days of my life. I´ll try to give the songs a shot what will serve as some sort of distraction hopefully, and i´ll be around, but surely less in the next weeks and i won´t be on top of my performance orgawise eventually.

My condolences go out to you as well. Words often fail and fall short of anything meaningful in situations like this, however I do hope you can find peace in the time that follows.
