I practiced this one the most out of all of them yet you guys still obliterated me

i opened it in eof to analyze it a bit more

Theres a metronome throughout the song but denver is slightly late or early ( can be up to 1/32 note, its not constant which is relief cause i also tend to struggle to keep in time so its nice seeing it happen with a pro).

Basically you have to ignore the metronome/ tapping and try to play where he plays the guitar ( which is hard to predict since its not as constant as the metronome)... its also a bit hard since this is a rendition of the song and not really the notes he plays  ...so yea xD...

I agree that the current tabbed lead path theoretically doesnt have anything too hard which generally would make it be a beginer/ intermediate song however the timing/tempo/and it not landing where you think it might land makes it really hard to get a good score. There's probably another version of the song by john denver that is more cdlc friendly to tab/play along to/ doesnt have a metronome/ has a metronome and he plays more on beat.

should we do ratings off of score or off of content? I wouldnt mind lowering it but seems like not that many people are getting 95+s? Any technique will be hard to those who dont use it ..so i guess the line is a bit blurry

anyways its a really good song and i do enjoy the campfire lead rendition, fun fingerpicking warmup thanks rodman, hard version to tab!

congrats to all of you with highscores, hope to see more!

Yeah. Well - when i do a song that is missing in the db i always try to use the original version that has been released, so in that case i ripped the track from the 1971

Poems, Prayers and Promises. And yeah, there is that metronome which John doesn´t seem to care so much about. Fun thing - he seems to have used metronomes all the way there, cause also the other later recordings of that songs i just listened to feature that

I did that already 6 years ago when i wanted to have some campfire songs to practice with my acoustic, so the important part for me then was the rhythm track i created. When i played the lead now that week first cause i was a bit shocked that the pattern has nothing to do with Johns playing. Most likely 6 years ago that was totally unplayable for me and i was happy to get a somewhat decent version together. Initially i was a bit pissed about that being my most downloaded CDLC, but i took some time to play it and on the pro side - if you only have one guitar and no band it plays quite nicely....

There are 3 guitars and a banjo on the track and the main driving track is something like that:

I think i´ll try to find the time to create a complete new lead based on the above, adding a bit of the intro melody and put the lead we have now as alternate. Then also it would be easier to match the timing to his playing when i got the actual notes played, but lets see for that - i might have to create 2 EOF files, cause the bass will likely follow the metronome well.

Thank you so much for listening closely and giving feedback - that helps so much.

Rock!! Rod.

Thx for the difficulty feedback, everyone - Diffs are updated and matched in opening post and in leaderboard sheet.

For Babymetal all paths we accept scores from both versions of the song!

I almost puked playing this song:

somehow note recognition just don't wanted to work with this song, dunno whats wrong here... (tried several fixes, even the dashboard shows the correct note, but in 90% of the cases even the full notes just don't get recognized)

Ok... redid the song. @ cacahuate51  - you´ll like that better.

LEAD - It plays the lead - single note melody. cool to play so i left it as lead (7.5 or smthg)

BONUS LEAD - the lead wea already had, except that i redid the whole beatmap - it´s in sync with the guitar now, not the metronome so much better.

RHYTHM - The Rhythm pattern Denver plays - damn hard, damn cool. Spent the last 2 hours trying to get the chords shown correctly, failed. pain in EOF - if someone is confident with that please contact me.

ALT RHYTHM - the campfire guitar we had - also better synced

BASS - redone - the bassline from the song.

 

Everyone who likes - take a ride

Rod.

 

PS: The 2.0 version has a unique DLCID and new arrangement IDs - so both can stay in your library.

Final scores for this week!! 

slightly better percentage but worse score!

[Chaoszerg]

a little bit better

[cacahuate51]

damn @Rodman you went all out on this cdlc! overall really fun! i know how time consuming it can be to make a cdlc and especially one like this so i really respect the effort/ dedication!

very fun new path strongly reccomend everyone to try it out!!(added link to the main post it is also above in rodmans comment and might aswell leave as a link here ) amazed you tabbed it .

had to play it again cause it was lots of fun! even played it another time but i got a worse score so im not posting that  i personally think it could pass as an advanced 6.5 song


im still pretty bad at it need more practice

And here I thought your campfire rendition was tricky  This one imo could be masterclass 7.5- 8 or higher..Might be biased cause I dont finger pick as much so itll be interesting to see other peoples opinion. It is alot more like the actual song really impressed (atleast from the small bit I could play xD) . The picking is less obvious to me which is why i think itd be masterclass  . both paths would benefit from some ctrl shift h (handshapes) to make it easier to sightread

seems like the one in the previous version but i think i have better detection on this one.

i enjoy both versions of this path.  i do like that this one has the chromatiscms so thanks for updating it!!
