I'm totally fine with going advance-lead—it'll push me to work on the harder songs. I aim for about 10+ hours of practice a week. (I didn't track it, but the first week I probably put in over 30-40) I usually only have time to focus on one song at a time, I'm amazed at how others can work on so many songs in a week.

You are currently entered as an Intermediate Lead and Advanced Rhythm and Bass. So keep it that way, and if you meet the promotion requirements (+99% on a max difficulty song for the class or achieve the highest score of players in the class above you) you will automatically level up.

As for practice, I play more for fun and to discover new songs and rarely feel like playing a single song very many times during the week. So I try to play every song at least once, and if I like something I play it again, plus a few attempts for songs from my class, but very rarely more than 5 attempts.

And the more you get used to Rocksmith faster you will be better in the songs, since the charts are inverted if compared to the tabs we use most of the time.

In Rocksmith there is an option to reverse the chart so that strings are arranged as in classic tablature (red E at the bottom) and people who practiced a lot before Rocksmith probably use this.

This week, I'm focused on the Three Days Grace song and plan to stick with it until I get it really clean. If I have extra time, I might try the Coheed and Cambria rhythm part because it's such a cool song.

Thanks dude, that makes it easier! I have moved you back? to advanced since you kinda technicly won last last week in that category? (the sytem is weird) and will fix the winners of last week when i get off work.
That means youll be doing coheed song, glad you think its cool.
You almost 99% 3dg anyways pretty early which is amazing! I think practicing the new song will help you more than trying to get the 2 % though.

This also means the other contestants in intermediate will now be at similar % / its anyones game.

I apologize in advance if you spent alot of hours on it already.

Yea I havent been practicing songs for that long in a longtime, would be nice if i could though. I remember I was pushed both to masterclass bass and rhythm without really wanting to cause back then id have lots of time /post my scores that i had practiced for hours (even though the number was low so it didnt show that) . Still not happy about mc rhythm cause i usualy dont have enough time to practice that but idm / i enjoy the mc bass nowadays. So if time ever becomes an issue for you just let us know. But Im sure youll either stay in Advanced or go to mc if you keep rocking it.

edit: oh lmao I just saw Mikson posted.. WELL hm . lol idk. but i need to go back to work

Please, let's not cause any more confusion, because @ craxed will soon lose interest in participating in this

As I wrote Lead - Intermediate, Rhythm and Bass Advanced. He'll probably level up in a moment anyway

Hi @ craxed

I am absolutely convinced you belong to lead-advanced, so here is what you can do to get the "promotion" you deserve:

Go to the Song Selection List (you will find the link in the cover post for this week) , and then go to "Songs Played" (in the tabs below the spredsheet) which is the list of all the songs we have played in the Championship. Then choose any song you like rated 5 (the highest rate in intermediate), get more than 99% and post the screenshot here. I think this won't be too difficult for you. (the thing is that this week int-lead song is 4.5, so you don't get promoted even if you achieve 99% or more)

By the way, this method is valid for anyone, since this is a recommendation @ Rodman (the main organizer of the Championship) has made in the past.

I should add that, I think "songs played" is a really valuable resource for everyone, since you will find many songs rated by difficulty to practice whatever level suits you!! You can sort the songs by rating to find the songs you need.

The 4th string is playing me with this one, it keeps showing Miss/Late on the open D. I think probably my attack is too heavy because I returned and recalibrated but I can't control the angst lol

Love the obsession with what level I belong in! Is this normal or am I just extra special . Working on Radio Bye Bye Lead, we will see if I can pull something off this week.

Rhythm time

The final part surprised me!

This chart annoys me and makes my hand hurt...

Got a few random misses. The result isn't fully fair because I skip the most of the palms...

Hi @ craxed ! I apologize for all the confusion: all of this happened cause I didn't assigned properly your class as I had announced during the week I hosted. However, they told me how to fix it and I fixed that, so you oficially belong to lead-advanced as it should had to be the case from the begining of this week. This also means the other contestants in lead-intermediate can have a fair fight as well! I apologize to @ cacahuate51 and everyone else for the confusion!!!

Me no longer having to put craxxed in a class

robolechuga · January 22

Ok, so I have to work on the solo part, it is really not that crazy, but I got what I got tonight. Just happy to improve streak and accuracy a bit. Sneaking up on Mikson and Peanut cincuenta y uno.
