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.

Actually I feel I can do way better than that and that was my very first attempt. I really wanted to challenge myself this week especially since Slash was one of my inspirations. I think I'll continue to attempt this song tomorrow. I'd like to atleast get 80% and I think I can do it.

@cauzt1cz

 

The rhythm part is a litle repetitive. Once you get it you will score much higher.

The secret is to position the fingers correctly along the different sections

Great scores everyone! This will likely be my final score for this week:

I need to get a second guitar soon, this one really doesn't like being tuned down!

Another Score for November Rain, 96% this time :)

@Mr Pi

 

It's more of the string skipping and the solo's that are keeping me down.  I'm kind of being forced to use my garbage guitar for this song too since my MH-50 needs to be re-soldered again... I don't have a back right now where the battery cavity is and it just falls out sometimes. Last time it fell out it yanked the wire off... I might fix that tonight I think my MH-50 would give me a better chance to do a little better on this song. My squire can't seem to register or sustain any notes past the 15th fret.

i am playing this song with a maison strat that i bought in 91 for about 90$ if i still remember correctly. (but has dimarzios since mid  nineties...)

Check the intonation and you will be alright with a squier with 010-42 or higher

 

My Epiphone Les Paul with 09 is impossible to play in Eb in the higher frets

Wow Great scores from everyone this competition is heating up. Looks like we wont know who the winner is until Saturday at the last minute lol.

Yeah, my Squier has 09's on it which I just put on so I'm not really interested in changing that. My MH-50 has 010's but, it looks like I'll be forced to fix it and try to find something temporary to keep the battery from continuously falling out.

not much but better http://s7.postimg.org/jm2333ckb/week_21k.jpg

EDIT: Had the wrong image. Corrected. Now the real 94.95

I rised the action of my Les Paul a litlle bit and it improved. I guess the action was really low and when i tuned down to Eb i had same trouble.

Now i can play with it but with my cheap maison its still better because of the 010.

 

My Maison strat was my first guitar and i like it a lot. With dimarzio and upgraded tuners it plays very well. Have same swiches on it to slit coils and change phase. its fun. I will keep it forever
