 Both the advanced bass are nice songs to play.  I think Rasputin is somewhat easier and more uniform overall, the Christopher Cross song starts relaxed but has some tricky bits towards the end - maybe 0.5 more difficulty (?)

@ cacahuate51  

you could render a quick DropD version in CFSM here to make it easier for beginners

 

 

Ok done! it's been updated. Didnt know how to but i figured it out, all i had to do was tick song -> custom mods -> pitch shift. thanks for the suggestion.

These tunings are a bit too much for my bass (kind of Breaking Benjamin). Guess I could try to get a 5 string bass after I move and also play some songs that I could not play before 🤔

@ AndreCardoso  feel free to try the pitch shift links i just now uploaded! just make sure that your volume in your headset or speakers is louder than your bass cause it can sound a bit wack hearing both sounds ingame and the one you play since you are playing notes about 4 semitones higher. 
Cfsm does seem pretty handy, and its easy to change songs so you could do that to the cdlc you have and enjoy thats too low.

if not you could buy an actual pitch shift pedal..they are cheaper than a bass and makes it nice to not need to retune everytime.. but you will have the same issue of it sounding a bit wack if you dont have the signal source louder than what you play.

or thicker strings...but then youd be stuck in low tunnings.

but yea a 5 string bass would be nice..i personally refunded mine XD just wasnt for me...i noticed i didnt play low tunnings that often and the pedal worked fine..

alternatively i guess you could also use your guitar if its too low and you have a guitar that reaches that tunning. just use the games bass emulator

Great songs this week!

But i have to say, i really think that Tug-O-War is harder than What is Love.

Overall great song, unfortunately some notes are not being registered right in my end, but i will try the 100%

Well, this one is a classic, impossible to not shake yout head while playing, but they could cut one minute from this song and nothing would be lost, a lot of repetition.

I'm working on Ride Like the Wind, lots of chords that i'm not used to do and it's time to learn all of them to become a better guitarist.

Good luck everyone!

Despite the tuning thanks for the drop d version 👍 
This may be more than a 3.5 the lead part is easy though so maybe not, the song itself 4.5

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

Master mode started activating on parts 3rd time through WTF

My 90's beats, yea! had this on cassette In my fist car great fun to play good conversion from keyboard .

?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

From scores you would think Intermediate and beginner are the wrong way round! But this is more fiddley than the lead on Tug-o-War

Hmm, played this about the same as my last run.  However, just changed guitars.  The other guitar is a fender strat and I never seem to get good note recognition with it.  Would like to find a way to get better recognition, it is a fun guitar to play.

@ cacahuate51  thx for the diff discussion!!!!! i´ll join

Chevelle is (4) not only for the tuning (you could render a quick DropD version in CFSM here to make it easier for beginners, but also for me:

those quick bends are above beginner level and fit (4)

48481587gy.jpg

the melody part thats needing the pinky is more (4) than (3)

48481588kh.jpg

and octaves are intermediate (4)

 

of course nothimg wrong having the song played in Beg!

 

 

Cool! thanks @ Rodman for elaborating why you think it should be int and based off other peoples feedback seems like they agree and i kinda goofed up on the ratings this week.
not sure wether to respond here or in the compendium since you are using examples of tug o war 😛

 i do agree with you (and as i stated at the begining of the week)  chevelle is more likely an intermediate song 4+.. but at the time of posting i believed it to be more simple than the other beg ones i tested (kinda changin my mind tho ha L:) but thats why knowing it could be a bit harder i put it in beginner at 3.5 since thats the highest i think possible? and not a 3  


With everything i think context is important..

the bends- i generally agree bends probably should be intermediate...i personally forgot about them... i went to replay it and for 1131 notes in the rhythm path  theres only 5 bends (the ones in the pic) and once on a 10 in the begining so thats around 0.44 % if you miss them all which isnt alot.....same goes with lead only lead has around 1170 ish ?

imo its not common enough to make it intermediate and as stated in the compendium 

"
Exception can be made here eventually if there is a eg. VERY short (surely not 50+ notes) "
also
almost NO harmonics or other tech notes

 i went with almost..since bends are tech notes...also the bend isnt even a full bend its the simplest bend you can do


the pinky riff-   i consider the most comon shapes for a riff on a single string or 2 like the one above being variations of :
 
the r riff ( fret pointer finger , skip fret , fret with RING finger, fret pinky)
the m (fret pointer finger, skip fret , fret middle, skip fret, fret pinky shape looks like an m or w i say m for metal kinda corny but wtver xD)
and the n riff ( fret pointer , fret with middle, skip, fret pinky)

most of this song uses variations of the n riff (the main riff as you are pivoting between pointer and middle you just ommit the pinky of the shape)  and the r riff...the image above would be an example of the r riff.


Even though you are using the pinky it should be a comon shape, and infact the r riff is one of the first riffs you learn in rocksmith 2012 since "i cant get no satifaction" is the first  tutorial song when setting up the game/ initializing a profile / riff you play...ii think its also the first song in 2014 but not sure. 

Its also posibly the "solo" or outro melody with least notes, short, and is relatively slower than some parts of the song...which i think makes it doable..
but i can see your point of view how two string may be a bit confusing..

still should be easier than some of the riffs i had tested out..for example easier than taylor swift shake it off song which has n riffs on 3 strings instead of 2/ was another song i had tested....its a bit slow so it does have that going for it but i thought it was a bit more string skipping for a beginner and theres also some notes that are off...left a comment maybe hell revisit it.

20240805055947-1.jpg
r riff:
20240805060020-1.jpg



Octaves:
i think atleast for the compendium..it should depend on fretting, speed, positioning, repitition and amount.

Fretting- its using a standard octave (also arguably i would say this shape is the second chord shape youd learn... first being power chords...then octaves since its a simplified power chord in standard tuning atleast this one...and the campfire chords..) 

not a orange purple octave like this other beginner song which i tested and considered but opted out cause i think the cdlc could be improved....personally think the main riff  could be moved to different strings to play easier, couple missing slides on the power chords, some notes should be muted and they arent, and other nit picky things. I thought bout doing my own version and letting suun have it if they wanted but its just time i might not have.

buuuut honestly in hindsight mightve been an easier song to 100% since it repeats way more often  and maybe i shouldnt be too harsh when playing others cdlc?... it is a fun song to play and its decent enough but i just wanted to use something in the competition that i personally didnt see things that could be improved with.

20240805060115-1.jpg

also, if a song has a bit more complex chords but is slow/ not that many notes is that begginner or higher? cause another beg song i had tested out was calvin harris (good tab, didnt see anything that could be improved/ was considering it and do think it should be in competition eventually) but wasnt sure about grading cause it is mostly just 2 chords throughout but not sure if begginners would use those chords?  and theres also some full bends...might be too simple for intermediate? so thats why i left it out heres example: 
20240805064350-1.jpg
i remember ting tings shut up and let me go being begginer aswell...and that one had similar chords...but maybe only the version i made which wasnt featured....perhaps the one for the championship didnt have these chords.

but yea still just curious..
anyways back to it:

positioning- its just doing an N riff (what most of the song is) but in octaves 7 , 8, 10 so it shouldnt be too bad

Speed- here ill give you the benefit of the doubt. its fast for a begginer.

amount- theres 130 notes...so yea thats 10% right there xD so fair argument here. 



The reason i had initially given it a 4 was

speed: its a fastish song and requires stamina.

Note wise: 1171/1131 notes...is alot of notes to 100% and i think regardless of the dificulty  ... the more notes there are the more likely you are able to mess up right?
 in hindsight and with people posting scores i can see why people can consider this one harder than what is love is since it only has 814 notes...so 300 less.

fretting past 12: although theoritically it should be easier to fret..sometimes its easier to get lost with the numbers and i think it might be harder for begginners.

Sections: theres probably like 5? intro, intro with power chords, chorus, break, chorus modified? not too many but theres songs with less sections.

pretty fast chord changes like this one can goof up on although its jut one finger powerchords so thats why i didnt think it was too bad: 
20240805065621-1.jpg

20240805061407-1.jpg
moving from 3 to 16 might be easy to get lost for a begginer. ( do appreciate palm for making it a unpitched slide. good cdlc)

what is love is actually the 4th song that i tested in begginer category...but i remember finding this song hard to play a long time ago..  uses all 6 strings, theres alot more string skipping in the riffs, more fret movement/shifting than a usual beginer song i think, the bend is a full step rather than a small one like in chevelle, double stops, kinda fast... so thats why i put it in intermediate. There are fewer sections/repeats and less notes like mentioned before so it is easier to fc..so yea kinda tough to grade songs 😛 

not too sure if there was a point to any of this lol....  guess i just wanted to explain the situation...hopefully doesnt come off as a rant or in bad taste. but yea i dont mind switching numbers if you guys think they should be switched places..and if i can do that? not sure if i can yet xD
