Based off @ Satinuke  suggestion on week 565 , this week 568 will be songs featured in video games (mostly race car games). i spent some time collecting the cdlcs and testing them.I kinda sorted them by which ones i thought were better made being the first ones and the very bottom is the paid dlc since i dont think many ppl will be using the setlist for the paid dlcs... I used a combination of spotify and scotts apps to  find the songs that are on the database ( or atleast were since its a bit outdated) and was able to create a setlist here:

race car setlist:
https://ignition4.customsforge.com/setlist/524

fifa:

https://ignition4.customsforge.com/setlist/525

Luckily it seems like in the near future there will be an update that will allow anyone to do it more eficiently and with all the current songs so that will be nice 🙂 

it was difficult choosing songs cause theres lots of possibilities for the same class/path...i also noticed that lots of songs have already been featured in the rocksmith championship aswell, and lots are official dlc..... but i found these to be quite decent and to not repeat weeks i thought we could give them a shot /m/


theres also really good songs from fifa aswell buut i already had to choose out of like 124 songs so maybe that could be another time when the database is up and hopefully it detects newer cdlcs (which hopefully will be better made)


1you me at six- 
Lived A Lie  - i couldnt find a decent begginer song with all paths in the racing setlist (starting off great i know xD)
but this one was in the fifa setlist ( fifa 14 to be exact)  and was featured in other games suchas ghlive. the reason why i chose this band over others was because they do have another song in racing games which is fun to play called bite my tongue ft oliver sykes...however its more intermediate and i found the other song on the list slightly better made. ( i do recomend anyone to play it tho) this cdlc doesnt have lyrics and is a bit old but the paths seem good enough for a begginer

The Dead Weather - Treat Me Like Your Mother - 
This song was featured in need for speed the run and in the crew. its got a catchy bassline, and nice energy. 

3Heaven's Basement - I Am Electric  
this song was featured in nfsmw 2012 and im pretty sure it was also in burnout paradise? but for some reason i cant find a source to confirm that. Has some streches but i think its a good challenging intermediate song

4Senses Fail - Calling All Cars
this song was featured in burnout parardise. And well i chose it cause it had cars in the name and thought itd go well with the week. Theres three versions. the mains ones are @ Bigle  and @ 65days ... after testing both i think maybe bigles has better guitar paths but 65days does have a more accurate bass path so i thought i should mention him cause his is also good (eventhough i didnt add this songs bass path for the competition it is still a solid option if you want to play the bass)

5
Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded in Chains  
this song was feature in nfs most wanted. 

6 Mastodon- Since im not a huge fan of long songs i also added this song which comes in the base game and it was also featured in nfs most wanted. both are really fun songs to play imo

7- Jamiroqui canned heat-  out of the 124+ cdlcs i tested none really had too challenging bass lines...sooo i outsourced and took a suggestion from the list. apparently this song has been in dancing videogames. so yea.. close enough. I kinda feel like i always end up choosing a disco song but its not on purpose dont get mad hehe also i guess its good to have something else than rock hopefully


8 Lights out- Royal blood- This song was featured in nfs Payback. i wanted something challenging for advanced so even though the song is pretty simple almost all the way through it does have a solo and bends which i think is ok for bass? royal blood is just a duo of bassis and drums..Probably will be the last time i add royal blood for a while since i also added them a previous week. Its a fun song though.

Bro you did it! I was very busy in the last two weeks (end of the trimester and i am a teacher) but for sure i will find some time to play. When i find the time i will help out with the list too, lot's of great songs in those old games.

Bro really hit me hard choosing two songs that really made me pick the guitar in the first place.

I remember like it was yesterday in 2006 with my PS2 playing Most Wanted, it was the best time of my life for sure. Was the first time hearing Avenged Sevenfold, Mastodon, Bullet for my Valentine (Hand of Blood would be a nice song for a future week), Static-X, Disturbed... They don't make games how they used to do anymore.

Blinded in Chains and Blood and Thunder are probably the songs i most played since getting back to the guitar in the pandemic, this is why the scores can seem higher than expected for me 🤣

About this song being in Burnout i could not find anything, but i do remember hearing it on MW2012. BANGER.

Will try to work on this one.

Another great song by Senses Fail is Can't Be Saved from Guitar Hero 3 as a bonus track.

Overall great week, i have so much fun playing those songs from older games as gaming now days in general are in shambles.

very cool that you are a teacher and got some time to play the songs!!

When ever hand of blood came on  i knew i was gonna win the race, its just got so much adrenaline!!! Also one of my favorite paid dlcs. Honestly the rocksmith crew did a pretty decent job selecting songs to tab/ from videogames have lots of respect for them. Only reason i didnt choose it was cause of the paywall. Static x song was also fun and its on the setlist i made...i did felt like something was missing like single notes didnt felt heavy enough but maybe it is just that with heavier strings/tone but it was a strong contender for the week. 

And i agree, its a shame they havent made games as good as most wanted recently. it was by far one of my favorite games with such an iconic soundtrack..i even like the hiphop tracks which i normally wouldnt listen to

Cant be saved was one of the songs i played on repeat in gh3 such a good song and fun to play on expert! Maybe one day ill do a guitar hero week...but i dont think itll be anytime soon.

Think if i host again ill try to do more suggested songs just to have it more balanced and have more people wanting to partricipate/ suggest songs. Also that way we can find more obscure/well made cdlc..i guess this music can be a bit more rare to the people who havent played the games..but i did notice alot of the songs featured in games are popular....or maybe they get popular cause of the games ...or both.....Anyways, im sure theres good cdlc out there and usually the new ones have been pretty decent i just havent played as much as i'd like. 

Wish you all a good week!!

Hello everyone and have a nice new musweek!

Race car games you said? No way! 

spacer.png (Vin Diesel playing green electric guitar in dodge charger...)

 

I've ever heard two songs from the list. Blinded in Chains and Blood and Thunder. I didn't played NFS series after Carbon. I played Burnout Paradise but don't remember songs from this game except G'n'R Paradise City.

I can surely said the games I played in childhood made my musical taste. NFS U, U2, MW of course. And Flatout 2. Hand of blood one of the my most favorite songs. Blinded in Chains is somewhere close to it. This games made a huge push me to love metal music. And metal music is part of me now. So I would say "Thank you" Most Wanted. Thank you Underground 1 and Underground 2. I am who I am now and you played a major role here.

So let's get back to songs. All the songs I played now I played terrible. Well. Sad but true.

Lived a Lie. Rhythm - nice tone. Easy riff. But I (and someone/thing else) will die trying to get 100% here. Lead - need some practice and everything will be fine I guess.

spacer.png spacer.png

Treat Me Like Your Mother: didn't catched by the song. Pull offs are need to be practiced. But I think I will not play it anymore.

spacer.png

I Am Electric: not bad but practise required. 

spacer.png spacer.png

Calling All Cars: very bad. Can't play it literally. 

spacer.png spacer.png

 

Blinded in Chains. This song I like and I can play it at least some in Rhythm part. And I think Rhythm is easier than Calling All Cars here. Lead part absolutely totally completely fully "miss".

Blood and Thunder. Well... I tried.

For some reason the main lead riffs in this feel more natural than some of the other song levels not great, but I had fun playing it.  ?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Lett

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

Treat Me Like Your Mother is my favorite of the week to play, except the slides on the solo are bringing me down.

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

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

Then every time I get in my head that I want to sell my Parker Nitefly - (April of 98 USA HSS Model) - Someone brings an Eb drop Db to the mix and I actually play it.  The DiMarzio pickups are really solid in this guitar.  Thanks, you have once again restored my love of the Parker.  Also - the typo in the title cracks me up.   

The main riff in this song is nuts, I have to focus on the picking the 4th string more than the 6th string to really get a decent score.  Just bang out the rhythm and focus on string skip up strokes.

I've just started playing this week's songs but I wonder why @ cacahuate51  you didn't add any bonus bass songs from e.g. A7X or Mastodon? Of course you can add them to the suggestion list and we'll use them in another week when someone is looking for a bass path. Just curiosity 😉
