(This list more or less shows the idea behind Song Selection List. Keep in mind that this is forgotten place)

 

As the topic suggest I will be making and adding to this list songs for each class (beginner, intermediate, Masterclass) but I need all of your help. Please post here and recommend to me which songs should be in what class and I will add them to the list in this post. I will sticky this thread or have it stickied so everyone can see it. This will also link to the spreadsheet where all entrants into the competition may enter in their name and song choice. Please note any songs added to this list must be available on Customsforge.com and they must have RIFF REPEATER, A CUSTOM TONE AND HAVE AT LEAST LEAD AND BASS ARRANGEMENTS or they will not be added to the list. Providing a link to the custom on here is helpful but not required. 

 

Please add your songs of choice for the classes you want to play. The more songs you add the higher the chance that your choice will get picked. Just click here and add your name to the list and the songs you want for each class. Inactive users will be removed from this list to try and keep it tidy and make it a bit easier on myself when choosing song. All songs are chosen randomly by using www.random.org true random number generator tool. 

 

Following is a list of acceptable songs for each difficulty. Feel free to add more songs to this list and please remember they must be available on customsforge.com and have a Lead and Bass arrangement at minimum (rythym is optional) for them to be valid entries. They may also be songs that are already included in Rocksmith 2014 but they cannot not be songs that are for sale by ubisoft as to make it fair for everyone. 

 

This list is a work in progress so if there are not a lot of songs on here give it time as I will be updating them as time permits and as people add songs to this thread.

Check out Songs from the Past for reference to songs difficulty classes.

@@ZagatoZee This song for Insane master guitarists. 1/3 song it is crazy solo with 200 bpm. Look score at last week MC Megadeth. Who can to play your CDLC? :) 

I would love to be able to play that song lol but wow does it look crazy. Maybe one day lol. 

Sorry, I thought masterclass was for quite good players that wanted a challenge. An hour with riff repeater and that track is perfectly playable fir someone that is already fairly proficient. It wasn't intended for beginners - but fir high level players.

@@ZagatoZee You are correct and I will add it to the MC section, Motive was just saying how crazy difficult the song is. 

Here is a good intermediate song: http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/allumer-le-feu-r4106

 

Yes I know it's a french one, but according to me it kick ass and it's very fun to play... ;)

I have just downloaded that on your advice :) I love some fromage rock ;)

@@ZagatoZee If you will participate, add to Song selection list. your a song.  i just saying that your CDLC more hard then Megadeth now. And only a few participants can get >90 for the week.

Personally for my, more interesting challenge where i can get >98%, it means a song learned. Learning with finish accuracy <90% it is not a bit of fun and detrimental to the playing technique( when speed=100%).

I am somewhat reluctant to suggest any songs here, because sometimes the bass difficulty is way different than guitar difficulty.

 

That being said, I tried to pick out a few of my favorite CDLC's that I think are extremely well put together (and follow the restrictions here so they have at least lead and bass tracks, etc.), and I'll give a difficulty rating based on the bass part ONLY:

 

Beginner/Easy:

Death Cab For Cutie - Soul Meets Body  by deaf42 -- Guitar part might be / probably is harder.

 

Intermediate:

Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far, Kid  by Xyber -- Probably borderline between beginner/intermediate.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know by ZZleeZZ -- Fantastic custom, has been mentioned before so is probably in the list already.  Another one that could go here or beginner.

Danzig - Twist of Cain by ... by all means, I guess this one came from SA and hasn't been ported here yet.  Guess I'll leave it listed.

Nightwish - Nemo by Soilman or SmellyOrc -- I've tried Soilman's version and I know it is solid on bass.  Both sources have lead parts, not sure if the lead guitar would be the same difficulty level.  Probably just fairly rapid power chords, so might fit here just fine.

 

Master Class:

Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name Of by BHMath -- Very fun to play on bass, tough but not TOO tough.  My personal best is a 98.x% accuracy.  Dunno how guitar part compares.

Tool - Lateralus by Unleashed2k -- Great bass song that I want to get better at.  I can manage in the 97% range now.  Again, dunno about guitar difficulty in comparison.

Daft Punk - Get Lucky by UKLooney -- Really fun, fast, jazzy bass part.  I can play it with very few misses at 90-95% speed, but at 100% speed I struggle to get better than 97% accuracy.  I think this might be one of those few songs where the guitar part is actually easier than the bass, but maybe not.

Metallica - Orion by ... whoops, again, I guess this one (Puppets album version) must have come from SA.  I think Nino83 did the original one I had, but then somebody else (Glen?) made another version that was probably more accurate and had better section divides.  This song is sorta the holy grail for me, I'm pretty pleased that I can manage >90% accuracy (I think my best is somewhere around 96-97%, but that is with Rocksmith being very forgiving on not actually doing all of the triplets correctly, etc.).  But, it is good to have a goal and pretty much every time I try again after a week or a month off I can improve on my accuracy after knocking the rust off.

 

 

I actually went through my song list in Rocksmith and wrote down 10 potential songs... just in the A's.  After that I limited what I wrote down to personal favorites, and still came up with a list of about 50 songs.  The list above is trimmed down from that, making sure that the song has at least lead and bass.  But anyway, I could definitely list more.

Since i'm throwing my hat in for this week I suggest the following:

 

Beginner

Metric - Black Sheep

http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/black-sheep-r4848

Motorhead - Ace of Spades

I just added my two songs

Please add this to the master list, it would be interesting to see how well people could pull off dimebag darrel's solo. I ain't in the championship so i prob have no voice here, but it is something you must all agree deserves to be put in.

@@Replicators Thanks for hint, a nice song. But i tnink for challenge it is not very good choice, because it is in tuning C#. Only a few men will can play it with their guitar and string.

No, i don't think that's the case, i think it's because there is a certain tuning people do not like to go under. Personally i think it is a great choice just because of dimebags solo which would be so hard to pull off accurately that is. You should play the cdlc yourself, instead of dismissing (No disrespect meant by how i worded that) just because its not a popular tuning.

I will add this to the list as it should definitely be in MC class but the tuning on the CDLC is difficult for people because Rocksmith has a problem detecting notes when the tuning is below drop D or D standard. Please forgive @ as his english isn't that great but he is learning. This is all he meant to say as far as the tuning is concerned. We have had many songs in lower tunings give us problems with note recognition and it makes it not as fun when you have to fight with the game to recognize that you are playing the note. As I said I will add it to the list. Thank you for your submission. 

As an aside I want to apologize for not adding more songs to this list on a regular basis as it is extremely time consuming and I just don't have enough time for it. I do ask that people keep posting here with the songs that they think should be in what difficulty and I will add it to the list as I have time. Thank you to all who have contributed to this list.

Thank you for better explanation to this suggestion, and it makes sense now. I didn't mean to sound disrespectful to Motive in any sense, this is just a legendary song that i am very and i am sure many as well are emotionally attached to for sentimental reasons.

I think that the on disc Satch Boogie by Joe Satriani would be cool to have on MC.

 

And Rains of castamere meets metal by eric calderone will soon have a bass part available.

At least for lead, here's some songs I'd suggest for beginner.

 

Bon Jovi - It's My Life http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/its-my-life-r5487

Three Days Grace - One X http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/one-x-r1208

Kaiser Chiefs - Modern Way http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/modern-way-r2604

Megadeth - Sweating bullets - Masterclass

Canned heat - Amphetamine Annie - Beginner

Bathory - Valhala - Intermediate

 

I d'ont know about guitar, my choices are about bass. 

 

Satch boogie can be cool too :)

Song List in first post was updated. (I did`nt check RR, level,  tone and other).

Beginner - White Zombie - Black Sunshine - http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/black-sunshine-r858

 

Intermediate(Maybe MC) - Megadeth - Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due - http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/holy-wars-the-punishment-due-r4205

 

MC - Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 1 - http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/metropolis-pt1-the-miracle-and-the-sleeper-r5240

Cant belive Metallica - Nothing else matters wasn't done yet :P

It is not super hard, but still it should be mc i think. (Maybe int, but a quite hard int)

http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/nothing-else-matters-r2181

 

Red hot chili peppers - Californication

Cool song, not too hard. It has one of the easiest solos i ever played, but still sounds pretty cool. Would fit for int.

http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/californication-r3545

 

What im really loving at the moment: Dire Straits - Sultans of swing

Its not as hard as I thought in advance, and it has such awesome little riffs in it.

But its a lot of work if you want to do the entire song. Definitifely masterclass.

http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/sultans-of-swing-r3253

 

My favorite: Red hot chili peppers - Under the bridge

Epic song, so nice to play. Masterclass. With enough patience even feasible for intermediate players. (Dont let you fool by the first part, its quiet difficult at the beginning, just ignore it for the first times and get it on later)

http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/under-the-bridge-r3573

 

Boston - Peace of mind

Turn up difficulty to max and be suprised how nice that song is :).  Probably Masterclass. Also here feasible for int players, but a lot of work.

Aviable in Rocksmith 2014

 

Mary jane's last dance

I played it so often and still don't get it satisfying. Masterclass.

Aviable in Rocksmith 2014

 

Most of those songs i will play at least another 50 times. Even if they require a lot of time, for me it would be so worth being able to play them :) Would be nice to see one of it in the Championship sometime! B)

Thank you for the additions to the list I will add them to the first post when i get a chance. As for them showing up in the championship, the easiest way to get that to happen is for you to add your name to the list located here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjwrZsjBtcJEdFBlVHJfRzF3Z2VxWEkzUEN2MTZnTkE#gid=0

and add the songs to that list. The way we choose the songs for each week are taken from this spreadsheet and we encourage everyone to add their name and song choices to the list each week. 

A good song for the beginner class : Stiltskin - Inside

What about: judas priest - breaking the law (official DLC) for intermediate or beginner... a classic from JP but not too fast and no killing solo...

 

Another french one (may be in some months, I don't want to be boring with my french songs): Emma Daumas - tu seras. For true begginers, a very easy song: no chords, no solo no nothing...but fun!!! strange... :huh:

 

Hope it helps.
