Da Rules

 

(Credit to the Ubi Forums for some Ideas!):

 

1. Anyone may join the contest as long as he's a forum member.

 

2. You can play "Score Attack" On Hard or "Learn a Song" with all sections mastered (all purple): You may also play a song which does not have DD on Score Attack easy if you cannot get through it on hard as all the notes will still show up on easy but it won't X you out as easily.

 

3. There are three classes: Beginner, Intermediate and Masterclass. If you enter to the contest the first time, you choose your class.

 

3.2 You are then leveled automatically as follows: 3x =>90% (3 weeks in a row) or 1x 98% qualifies you for the next class. If you score <=79% on a level two weeks in a row you are leveled down one class. You may choose to follow this rule or not we are very laid back on this rule as some songs are either easier or harder so if a given song in a class is too difficult for you please feel free to enter by playing the song you feel comfortable with.

 

4. Both instruments are leveled separately.

 

5. You may only enter in one class per arrangement. (Bass, Rhythm, lead) but you may participate in all available arrangements

 

6. One Song is chosen for all Instruments and classes

 

7. Every Saturday new songs are chosen. From all participants of a class, one is chosen at random by Kaijin, Krazyone or Richomat.

 

8. Every member should put the song he/she would choose in the Song Selection List

 

9. Only 1 song per class will be selected and only custom DLC's with at least 1 arrangement for guitar and 1 arrangement for bass are allowed. Also Originally included DLC may be selected as well. NO OFFICIALLY RELEASE DLC is supported at this time. .

 

10. You only need to change the song in the list if you are selected. If not, you can keep the same choice, or choose another, it's up to each one of you.

 

11. On Saturday, if your name is picked and you didn't entered any song in the Song Selection List, another member will be chosen.

 

12. Starting with the publication of the songs, you may enter your score.

 

13. The scores are entered in the corresponding google doc: Leaderboard Kaijin, Krazyone, richomat and afterdark take care of entering the scores.

 

14. You must post a screenshot with your score showing the Accuracy %.

 

15. Ranking is done by percentage first, then by Longest Streak.

 

16. If you play LAS (Learn a Song), you percentage will be always, xx.00%, if you prefer SA (Score Attack), your percentage will always be xx.xx%.

 

17. You may choose any song for your class as long as it's provided on the forums and has at least 1 arrangement for each instrument.

 

18. Every song is up for discussion until Sunday around 23:00 UTC. If you think a song is to hard, please let us know in the thread, so we may discuss it.

 

19. After Sunday 23:00 the songs are set and are not allowed to change.

 

20. The contest closes the next Saturday around 18:00 UTC

 

21. The winners are announced in the OP of the corresponding week's thread.

 

22. Rules may change without notice. So watch out.

Starting to think I need to be in a section below beginner!  Really dislike this song after 1 day of playing it don't think I could face playing it all week:(

I removed that part of the rules as we are very relaxed here and don't want to limit people in playing songs. Some songs are easier to play than others and to be pushed into a difficulty that one may not be comfortable playing in is unfair. Everyone may choose what difficulty they want to play in. If a song is too difficult for someone they aren't forced to play it just because they are in that "level". We will still recommend people to play in certain difficulties though. I myself am playing the MC song this week even though I no where near think of myself as masterclass material. I tend to go up and down depending on the songs that area picked.

I actually like to use the system for up and downlevelling to see where I belong. I understand that the difficulty changes per week but still.. I would like to have that returned in the rules, because I definitely forget the percentages. Maybe you can put that it is just a guide you don't have to follow very strict?If nobody else feels the same as I do then I will write those percentages down for myself, and they don't need to be returned in the rules of course

I didn't like it much either Kashmir is harder on guitar then bass though, I don't know if your a Zep fan or not but at least you would be learning some Zep riffs. :-)

Love the song...but I think I need to dislocate my little finger just to make the first chord :-P

I have to agree I like to push myself, some weeks I may succeed and others I may not but this week I chose intermediate  so that's all I will play in now. Maybe if you enter in a higher class you can't enter in a class lower that week. That way if intermediate or master is just out of your reach that week you can still drop back. I think beginner should be restricted to those who have never entered master class. Just a thought.

As requested I will put it back as a reference for all.

reached 89%. Still a long way from target. 

 

Started with 09-42 strings but its impossible to play this song with this gauge in Eb.

 

So you need at least 10-46 to get good note recognition and "bend control"

i see that some people have problems keeping the songs maxed out (purple). 

 

If you enter RR, select the whole song, turn the difficulty to 100% and turn of level up. It will stay that way until you change it manually.  (Thats what i think anyway. Read it somewhere and it have worked for me.)

Thanks guys.  November Rain is really pretty easy on bass.

 

Is it possible to have 2 different categories, 1 for guitar, one for bass?  Kashmir was actually tougher on bass than November Rain, Kashmir has a lot that is off-beat.

 

Most of the time the songs are pretty well spot on both guitar / bass performance wise, but this one wasn't.

Just six plays to get platinum. :) I might try intermediate next week if the song is not to hard.

Hello!

 

http://i60.tinypic.com/jfx7o2.jpg

Here's my first try for the week. Very catchy song IMO. Probably going to try some Kashmir this week.

Edit: This will probably be my final entry for this week on this song.

Edit 2: Added spoiler tags since I've got like 3 images in this post...

Here's my first run at Kashmir(after learning some of the odd chord shapes.)

Kashmir #2(I'm going to just stop editing after this one and wait until I get what I want to be my final...sorry guys)

Not really sure if I want to move on to masterclass or stay in intermediate, I feel November Rain is closer to my skill than Kashmir, but I'm not sure. The guitar in Kashmir is actually really awesome. 

Hello again everyone, after playing the song a few times, this is what I could come up with.

 

I see myself hitting maybe 96% if I do some Riff Repeating on the solos and got some time later this week!
