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.

@@ARod welcome it is great to see you here

On my way to 98% + :)

ehhh @@RevT2 i must make 100 Again .... ;P 

maybe today i try it all  

First submission this week, after playing the song a few times and spending some time in RR this is what I could get:

I think 99%+ might be possible, I just need to focus more on holding my streak and keep random misses to a minimum.

 

For me the chord part after the solo is the hardest, the one after the small break.

@@Szur Yep, you should be able too, this ones not too hard, defiantly not Kasmir lol

 

 

ehhh @@RevT2 i must make 100 Again .... ;P 

maybe today i try it all  

Srgt peppers is obviously too easy but Sometimes it good to be on the easy side...

100% for me. (I don't post picture, you can believe me on parole lol).

my last score for this week :)

the middle part is really hard

Nice job @@Smile dude you are getting good man. 

 

Leaderboard Updated

On sgt pepper for me 100% on rythm but only 86% on lead and I just broke a string on those fu...ing end-bends...

 

Not so easy for me...  I must admit. :-|

@ Thx I play guitar since 5 months and there where many are power chords I have less problems :)

there is still much to learn.

@@diddie17 don't be sorry for finding it easy, I hope to find it easy by the end of the week :)

@@natasftw thanks for the tips, I'll definitely take them on board.  I also have a problem with bends and RS, when I'm in RR it only registers maybe 1/4 bend even though I'm close to snapping the string!  Any tips for the 8-6 hammer ons on the B string part welcomed :)

 

@ "Leaderboard Updated"

 

I hope this score is high enough to go on the leader board seeing as my previous attempts weren't logged ;)

This will be a tough week.  Since Smile is playing QUEEN, and I want to improve, I will also play it, but damn the solo is fast, the bends wont register most of the time (mostly because i'm still doing it wrong :P ) and also the high chords on the b and e string are not here for now. Let's get to work!

 

 

 

BTW. Freddys voice is eerie at 50%speed inRR

I think the bends issue is hitting the initial note too early.  The way it appears to me: if you hit the note early on a normal note, it'll register because it's still playing.  If you hit it early on a bend, you're likely already in the bend by the point it checks for the base note so it doesn't give you credit for the bend.  I'm not 100% on this.  Someone that's better with bends would be better input.

 

For the 6-8 hammers, I place my index finger on the 6, pluck down, drop my ring finger onto the 8, then pick up the ring finger as i pick down again.  My index finger never leaves the 6.  By plucking down both times, I buy myself just enough time to handle the quick triplet of notes.  If you hit the ring finger down quickly, the hammer should sound nice.  Cheating to use the two down helps you get the timing.

I'm not 100% sure if I'll have time to participate this week. I have a lot of work to do all week :(

well, making same pression on thrallsa

 

 

98% is possible but better than that should be impossible for me with the "random" mistakes.

On the solo the best i did was 4 mistakes. Maybe i can be more consistent there as i performed from 4 to 12 mistakes a lot

 

But i believe someone may reach 99%

ok well im trying  I can type the links so lets do that but it still freezes when I try to add a clickable link my first week entering ive been playing for about 6 months now

 

heres is sgt peppers at 100% http://postimage.org/image/v3r23t7cr/

 

heres parisienne walkways at 85%  http://postimage.org/image/trs749ke3

 

 

im new and I hope this works and you can see it as I am competitive and think the championship will give me something to strive for ill post walkways again if I get a  few more percent

ok that worked I just have to type the link and not try and link it through the button

Played each song 1 time.

 

Sgt. pepper = 77%

Parisienne = 66%

Somebody = 75%

 

I really don't know what class i should pick this week.  Might have to try them all. 

 

I also have a new guitar today. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/th_20140324_161049_zps9tc71hsk.jpg

 

EDIT:  played them in nonstop mode for 30min.  4 times each now. 86% sgt. peppers,   70% parisienne,  77% Somebody.

I still dont know what to play.

@@Szur I was actually working on Gallows Pole by Zeppelin I will take a look at it. BTW I knew you could hit 100 on that one it was pretty easy. I would had been shocked if you didn't, I guess we will have to share the glory this week :ugeek: :grin:

nice to have support :D 

good that we don't have money to share:P

Finally cracked the 90% mark, might make it to 100% by the weekend !!!  Going to change the strings on my guitar tomorrow as it still has the original ones that came with it and they don't look too good :)  Will be my first attempt at changing strings so I might not get to post another score this week :D
