HOPE YOU ALL ARE ENJOYING THE SPOOKY SEASON !!!👻👻

There are tons of good Halloween themed songs on the site so it was a hard choice of picking the songs/ adding songs from your suggestions. Luckily we still have more weeks of Halloween, so feel free to suggest even more themed songs for some cool weeks!!🙂 when submitting add Halloween theme in the comments section so its easily found.

Cry Little Sister -Marylin Manson - The Original was the theme in a classic horror/comedy movie named The Lost Boys (80s vampires). I personally kind of like the og more (dell has also tabbed it i haven't played it in a long time) but im going off with the song in the suggestion list 🙂

Power of love - Huey and the News- Featured in the First movie of Back to the future ( Time travel 80s to 55). Even though there are no Halloween decorations in the movie or talks of thanks giving, the movie does take place during 25th of October (so this week) and goes on till November 5th.  On top of that the band is featured in one of the most iconic scenes in the movie American Psycho( Psychological thriller/ Comedy).  This isn't the song that's being played in that scene because that one is now odlc but its the same band.

Cdlc note: There is one part of the song where i don't think it has the right chords but its mostly a good tab

Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell - Classic Halloween song that might be any retail workers nightmare cause its been played so much

It's Spooky In Here - Baha Men  Doesn't apear on Spotify but judging by the comments of a music video it was on a cd that were in count chockolas cereal? The bassline is fun so i added it.

Men in Black (sci fi Agents movie...if theres people dressed up in suits with dark shades they are probably dressed up as people from this movie )- Will Smith - Song that was featured in the men in black films . Classic tune, the main bass sample is from a song called forget me nots by patrice Rushen

Ghost Opera - Kamelot - i picked it cause i wrote ghost on the suggestions list and this appeared. has nice riffs

Halloween - Helloween - Name fits the theme a bit easy but a good tab .  Was not going to choose it cause i didnt download the dd version but since dell also suggested it i revisited it. i do recomend you to download dd version for more sections to practice.

Dream Theater- Night Terror- Dream theaters newest single with the inclusion of their old drummer mike portnoy! Didnt really like it when i first heard it but i found the dlc fun to play and found it impressive that the guy basicly tabbed it in the first day of the release so i thought it should deserve some recognition
 
Not all songs are tabbed from dell but i just wanted to make the pun

its a pretty easy week for bass sadly... i guess if you want to challenge your self then play helloween without a pic 😛

 if you like any of the songs show some love on their ignition page or if you find something in the chart that they could fix also let them know. 

Also always interested in what you guys would rate the song on difficulties so if you want to write down a number when posting your scores that'd be great!

Well done on the week selection  @ cacahuate51
I'm Impressed that most weeks songs selected are mostly from people that are currently  participating. I know this cant always be the case. 

Just wanted to say I Appreciate  the work all the organizers  do 👍

I agree with @ cacahuate51 ,  the Advanced Will Smith song seems more straightforward  this Intermediate song ... but maybe I'm just more tired having played the rather long Helloween song right before

Well done on the song selection! I want to repeat what Daz said: I appreciate all the work the organizers do! Picking the songs can be difficult, and it is nice to see how carefully you picked the Halloween-themed songs this week! 👻 I will play my first sight reads a bit later today!


On another note, 311—Boom Shanka, my score still hasn't been added. You said I should be more patient, so hopefully, it will get fixed. It would be frustrating if I played a song and it didn't get added in the future. I know this is not the first time this has happened. Last week, my score on Rhythm for Babylon AD Bang Goes the Bell also never appeared on the leaderboard.

Here are my Rhythm sight-reads with some of my thoughts:

hPjK0gB.jpeg

I've never liked Marilyn Manson, and I doubt I ever will; I don't quite understand his mass appeal. But we all hear things differently so if you like him more power to you! 🙂 As for the Rhythm track itself, good for beginners!

uZ1gMkb.jpeg

Nice song choice @ Daz40  saw you also have some of my created songs in your list, I appreciate that! 😁 

As for this song, my ALL-time favorite movie is Back To The Future, I can watch it anytime, so much fun! So I'm happy to play this, a few chords caught me off-guard but a great song for a masterpiece of a movie! 🎥

3rwTn9C.jpeg

This was the surprise of the week! I am not big into power metal generally but this song rules! Very nice atmospheric piece that is great for the theme of this week.

dJRdiRL.jpeg

Helloween, is very fitting for this week of course. Legendary band! A bit too long for my liking but it's a good song. I am not sure if it's a masterclass for Rhythm but I know masterclass Rhythm songs are hard to come by. 

I am sure @ avastreg  loves the Power Metal selection for this week, I know you are a big Power Metal fan! 

Very fun Rhythm selection. I hope everyone is having a great week! Rock on 🤘

Here are my first Lead sight-reads for this week!

 

ESXPsrW.jpeg

More fun to play on lead compared to Rhythm, perfect for beginners!

 

rE8iuJV.jpeg

Pretty similar to the Rhythm track with just a small but nice solo. Great song!

IZ55Fyq.jpeg

This is a '80s classic! My mother LOVES this song. This was really fun to play and very well transcribed. Great choice @ cacahuate51 !

VJR1rkq.jpeg

As fun (if not more fun!) on Lead. Great song with a great atmosphere. 

 

I will play the Helloween and Dream Theater track at a later time as this session was already long.

I must admit I would have loved seeing Mr. Scary from Dokken this week as I think Lynch with his chord choices is the best man for this Halloween-themed week! So that is a bit of a missed opportunity, but I understand there are only so few songs you can pick each week so you did a great job either way! @ cacahuate51

I hope everyone is having a great week rock on! 🤘

Well tbf in @ Mikson 's defence I've been told I tend to under rate a song  :v when i submitted the song for it to be played in the championship like 2 years ago i want to say? i had put it in beginner 3, Mostly cause its like a 2 bar loop or 4 (idr which) but it just repeats over and over.  However I didn't really take into account that there's lots of pops and hamerons/pulloffs in the bassline which are techniques maybe beginners might not do? So I understand why he gave it a higher rating, just maybe I think perhaps we should meet in the middle instead.  But we'll see other peoples opinion, and also i guess the game doesnt really identify the pops so you kinda could not play it how its tabbed and get a high percentage.

And interesting, what number would you give the baha men song? To me it seemed pretty easy but maybe i under rated again? 😛 that one and somebody's watching me only i tested it out so yea maybe the values might not be right ill be happy to move it higher if people think it needs changing

Glad you enjoyed some of them! Yea originally i had like 2 songs for almost every category (you've submitted quite a bit of adv/masterclass halloween sugestions and i was also considering one that kayteck sugested of something wicked), except maybe beginners cause at the time i didn't see anything that stood out as being Halloween. Upon quickly revisiting I guess @ Hameron 's save me could technically be halloween and its a good song. 

I just reduced it down since i wasnt sure if I was overkilling it /people would have enough time to play all of them since they are quite long songs , almost all 4 mins and then the masterclass songs are 9 and 13 mins.

I guess theoretically you dont have to play songs in other classes just your own...so maybe its still doable? It's still early...They gonna kick me out of organizations at one point xD

Btw we did not forget and that's why the results were slightly delayed 🙂 
Also congrats on the promotion! like the post says you can choose to say in rhythm advanced or you can accept the promotion.

friendly reminder to those posting in normal mode if you want it to be to the nearest decimal post images from score attack just so its fair for everybody.

Considering ive not actually been playing that long (maybe just over a year in total) im pretty bloody chuffed with that 

 

Congrats on the score and for playing over a year!! Just make sure in the future to take the picture earlier cause the ocr needs a streak for it to work... xD

That's why whenever I play really long songs I try to do score attack ( although I guess you could x out on it mid song and that sucks as well) but if you do manage to beat the song you have an indefinite time period to take a picture meanwhile on normal mode you kind of have to be quick. Also with score attack it does the score to the nearest decimal meanwhile normal mode its rounded down.

Generally speaking, I'm usually not a fan of metal, power metal being in masterclass bass because there's lots of straights single notes where you can easily increase the accuracy easily if you use a pick (like i said probably more challenging if you did it with your fingers but seems kind of silly to handicap yourself/ although even more respect to you if you did do it without one) it is long and it does require stamin so to fully 100 % will be quite hard just not sure if still over rated... Will be curious to see others people opinion on where it should be with a number.  Also if you have complicated bass song suggestions submit them cause its always nice to have a challenge on bass.

Excellent songs for Halloween. I haven't heard some of them in a while...

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

 

I'm also not a huge fan of Marylin Manson, but really liked playing this one (the drop D tuning messed up some notes on my bass, as usual 🤣)

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

 

Some of the passages are a bit of a finger twister for me 🤣

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

 

Really like this one. Have to improve the pops without getting lost in the song. Maybe some RR at 80% before getting to Score Attack

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

As for the difficulty ratings, I think they are Ok (one song relative to the next)

My one and only chart would be a good pick for a Halloween themed week . Trick or Treat by Fastway . But I am yet to add it to song selection as didn't  like to add own songs

Nonstandard bass tuning song #2 - five string bass is pretty weird for me/   A couple weeks ago I traded my spare Strat  for a five-string Jazz bass that needed a setup.  I had been planning to take it in next week, but decided to do my own approximate bridge adjustment so I could try the Dream Theater song.    So all in all this is not as bad as I had expected for my first Rocksmith song on a five-string - when those green notes came up I just froze like a deer in the headlights, fortunately there weren't too many. 

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

PS  I used to be a big fan of Dream Theater back in the Dramatic Turn of Events era, but kind of lost touch a few albums after that.   Turns out their current tour includes not just dates in the major cities of the world, but also in a smaller venue in Wallingford CT just a few miles from where I live - I already bought a pair of tickets for a lot less than the big city prices.  So a big thank you for including Dream Theater and helping me start on the path of becoming a loyal fan once again.

I think this is about my limit after a lot of attempts.  For me this one is a lot trickier rhythmically than the Will Smith MIB song, but maybe that's just me..
