How about the Smashing Pumpkins song everyone has?

 

But is it free for everyone? For every platform? You can buy it for 3$ on STEAM, so there is a chance not all can have it.

I thought we all needed that one to run the customs

I payed for my cherub. So its not free for everyone. 

 

Also. You can use Cdlcs without it buts it takes more work.

I thought we all needed that one to run the customs

You don't need that one, it can be different dlc, but then it gets complicated with changing id of the cdlcs, so it's best to have Cherub Rock and save yourself work. So technically you don't need that particular one.

@ I thought Mr. Sandman bass was pretty well tabbed, at least to my ears. However, you are very observant mate, if you listen to it again more thoroughly I think your tab sounds even better and easier to play! So "well done, mate" for being judicious enough to get a better version of it :D I'll take the time to fix it.

Either way, you make a great, and legit point about the tuning issue. If you could test it would be rad thou!

 

 

Congrats, @@Nacholede, you  is recordsman. Your choice the songs were selected 15th times, second place got @ with 12 times choiced a songs. All other have 6 or less selected a songs. Lucky man or bad dice.  B)

They really have so many choices? And every week when I'm selecting songs I'm like "we had Fishbone last week, I won't select it this week" and I'm generating new random number :lol: Having selections in all classes helps.

 

of course we have since were participating since more than 30 weeks regularly and updating the SSL if any slot is free. Some guys just came out if their songs are chosen...AND were almost winning, and somewhere I heard that the winner have advantage when songs were chosen. And that's what I do before add new songs to the list, I check them before for the difficulty and for issues that we don't have to change the song during the week. And one DreamTheatre song should be counted double or threetime cause their lenghts.

 

edit: if you guys don't like my choices I will take them off

 

 

Was I the only one that liked the fishbone songs? I thought they were fun and I definitely never heard of them before.

Guess I'll join this group since it seems pretty fun. A couple of clumsy mistakes on the main riff and some muting troubles at the end, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how I played.

Oh, I forgot people can change that.

I love the fishbone songs. They just hurt my hands

Posted at almost the same time, have the same accuracy, almost the same score. Are you me?

@@bernixix, tried with calibrating to 438Hz, sounds good. But I found another part to fix:

those two measures 19 + 20 at the end of 2nd verse, should be like that

https://www.dropbox.com/s/24u175miwsnk8sb/MrSandman.PNG?dl=0

if you want to change the middle part it would be better to ignore this one handwritten note at measure 15 :)

Done!

Update on Mr.Sandman --> http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/mr-sandman-r10663

Version 2.0: Special thanks to member  on this update. Tuning is now E Standard 438 Hz. Better hand shape position on that middle section on Bass. Also corrected a few notes before and after that section. Fixed sustains in all 3 paths. Enjoy!

 

Also I happened to nail it at my 3rd attempt :D In the new version you don't have to move your hand that much @ the fasty mid section, so I give the credit to my 100% to that ^^

@ By the way, I really digged into your selections that I actually played. Mostly because them bass lines where amazing, but also the songs where catchy! I agree with @@Choaralaone , never heard of most of them but they were defenetly fun to play. Remember I almost got away with Party at Ground Zero week :D

To clarify, I had nothing against Fishbone (well, it's not in my taste, but they're not bad, even if I don't like that kind of a music). What I meant was, that we're no longer allowing one participant's selection in the same class in back to back weeks. And many times after we played Fishbone, next week RNG was giving me Fishbone again (I wanted to give you a hint that it could have been more frippchen's selections).

@@albatross213, @ Welcome!

really nice to play, and I like this F diminished at the end of the walking line now :)

Hmm, Metallica as an int. rhythm song in the championship?... that's best way to test this beauty I just got... :D

I wish I could use a plec, those darn things spoon off in all directions when I try play with one of them :)

I messed that part up myself so I might not be the best person to give advice, but...

 

If I'm playing finger style I usually just lightly rest a spare finger on the string near where it's being fretted (or near the nut in the case of an open string). So for the riff at the end of the song I'd play it by fretting the A string with my middle finger with my index finger resting on the E string. It's not perfect, but it works for me for simpler riffs where muted notes come up.
