HUGE THANKS to @ kayteck  for helping me out with formating the week!!! would be lost without you! 
Hopefully you guys enjoy the selection! it was a tough choice there were lots of good options from the song selection.
I have passed the majority of the championship suggested /proposal selection to spotify and was listening to them (the ones you suggest on this page https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbwy6vF3XYDZ_s1WeqiHTgBcVgbF8cr2AUQjKH3aRSZYuh32Erc-IstP5Gos-1i_evkm/exec)

The way I chose the songs  this week revolved around 5s and 7s since its week 557  some have more noticeble riffs with 5s and 7s than others.
Admitdley sleeping with sirens was a last chance swap, the song I had originaly picked was "Cry For You by September" . I thought 4s were beginner for some reason xD I was like huh I thought this was pretty hard for a beginner... Although...I guess technicly there isnt that many chords so I guess it makes sense...But no... It is intermediate xD Anyways I'm deviating from the point... There are some 5s and 7s ish in the chorus of sleeping with sirens just not as much as I had wished.

Lenny Kravits Fly away- Is the main song I think of when playing 5s to 7s. Hopefully Rodman isnt sick of playing this song since its appeared already twice in the championship xD But it has been almost 2 years since last time it was featured here so maybe its been enough time.

Lotus - Foster the people - Main riff starts on 12 but the 7 to 5 chord after is why I chose the song. Pretty upbeat and fun song to play imo. 

Halo - Porcupine Tree- has a bridge riff that involves lots of 5s and 7s. pretty groovy song

Motoi- Descending 7 to 5s in the begining riff. 

I'm the pressident ... Just an octave jump on the 5th fret but really enjoy the song. wonder who will nail the breakdown towards the end. the rest is pretty simple (I had originally suggested it as an advanced song however since I havent been able to ace it yet seems kinda silly for it to be in advanced)


Mike dawes- hadnt heard of his stuff before but the main riff in the rhythm guitar is beautifull (and is where the 5s and 7s are that made me pick the song). Strongly recommend people atleast tuning the guitar to that tunning looooads of fun. as for the actual song way too hard for me lol

I think the three - Lotus Halo and Motoi are probably all on the same level (6) ... But I do get consistent higher scores on motoi and halo so maybe I should switch them around aka motoi and halo intermediate and lotus advanced? let me know what you guys think

Other songs that were possible conteders from the list that i tested:

Cant Stop Red hot chilli peppers
Sweet Sacrifice - Evanescence (infact it was the main reason i made an updated version.. but since im not 100% sure on the bass and thought choosing a cdlc I modified and suggested was kinda cheating, i decided not to)
Fear of a Blank Planet Live - Porcupine tree (great song)
Follow the Leader by Foxgen
Contagious Y and T
 Addicted to chaos by Megadeth
My Way Siames
and more... but im sure they will eventually get picked down the line

Let me know which songs you enjoy the most that revolve 5s and 7s!! so 5 to 7 or 7 to 5

good luck to everyone on the plini/mike dawes,  fun to chart but lots of fingerpicking and tapping.  Thanks again for choosing one of my charts for the championship.  Plenty more coming.

[AndreCardoso]

First results of the week:

Must practice and improve my slapping technique

 

This one is very fast. Could use some practice on that open, 5th and 7th transition

Have to practice those riffs on the 11th fret, but I think I can improve a bit

Really liked this one. And it seemed the easiest to me
