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.

@@Collision Just make sure to put the correct strings in the correct places, lol I have done that many times where I will put the B string where the High E string goes without noticing and then have to remove and replace them. Take your time and make sure you understand what you're doing. Also look up videos online of how to change the strings. There are a lot of videos online that are very helpful. 

Here are my scores:

Maybe if I re-string it wrong my playing would sound a whole lot better :D

 

I was going to follow the guide in Rocksmith 2014, or is there a better way?  After a quick look on youtube there are loads of videos showing different ways which makes it more confusing lol.  Think I'll start a new topic about this and see what the general consensus is.

Tried the hard bass part on Parisienne:

@@Szur I think I'm going to skip listening to Freddie sing in slow motion all week. Deacon is an awesome bassist but there is a lot to remember in his songs.  I'm really into gallows pole right now I want to have that one down in the next couple of days. 

The Solo still drives me crazy, the first part is getting better, but the second part i'm still kinda playing "air guitar".

 

 

 

I know it's just 83%.

edit: oh shit! damn automatic downleveling. I guess,since it also says 83% mastery,that this attempt is not legit :(

That would be me...  I was too new to do "Come as you are" a few weeks ago...

@@RevT2 my first attempt  give me 81% ant i get one part level down.... so it won't be easy ;) but yesterday i needed to play something else. 

So Let the game begins 

good luck 

First time trying this out.. Thought it looked fun but didn't think I was ready.

 

Anyway, it's good practice.. I've had a guitar for 7 months, so I am in at the bottom end - Beginner..

I'd try to improve on these but unfortunately I don't like the song, so I probably won't bother!  ;)

 

Cheers

I cant see any downleveling.  It always shows mastery when you have been in RR before you play the whole song.

Hello everybody, I'm new to this championship thing but I think it's a really cool thing!

Here's my try at Sgt. Pepper

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l274/OliverEr/6077b085-51de-4fcb-b67c-ea65f40364ca_zpsb1a28c4c.png

 

I'm going to try that Gary Moore song later, if I did anything wrong with the rules or so please let me know! :)

So i gave them all a little more serious attempt today: Here is the results.

 

Sgt. Pepper. 11 plays. 95% http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_sgtpepper95_zps5c48e3b1.jpg

 

Parisienne 8 plays. 77% http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Parisienne77_zpse4d1c018.jpg

 

Somebody to Love  7 plays 79% http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/th_Somebody79_zps9c5120d2.jpg

 

 

This will be a hard week for me.

@@Rottenboozer what have you for grafik settings ? your screen looks very pixelated :(

I used the Rocksmith lesson to teach myself how to do it.  I've got two diff guitars.  One is exactly like the video.  The Ibanize requires me to unscrew a few screws in the back to remove a plastic plate to feed the new strings in.  My friend has a Fender that is similar to the Ibanez, but the plate has an opening specifically for the strings to fit through.

 

When I changed strings, I went with the skinny bottom/fat top style with a 10guage smallest string.  This may not work for everyone, but it's worked well for me.  The smaller strings are still easy to bend and the bigger strings sustain better.  My first trip to guitar center had me leaving with ~5 different types of strings.  I swapped them out to find which felt best and then just kept the 10s. 

 

Just take your time.  One thing I did notice:  RS mentions pre-bending the strings.  Don't go crazy with this.  I used to.  In fact, I spent enough time pre-bending that the guitar never lost the tune in the intial playing.  But, the strings break in a week or two because they're already that stressed.  Pre-bend them once and get back to playing.  Just make sure to tune somewhat regularly your first few sessions.

my score for tonight: :)

Leaderboard Updated. 

 

Great scores everyone 

Hi,

 

getting closer to the impossible!!!

I would like to thank my pacifica. When i start playing with it my mistakes went to half!

 

Okay I'm probably done for this week now. Hit everything except 1 or 2 notes in the solo.

 

I could try to go for the 100% full combo but to be honest that could be a pretty big grind!

I'm so happy I joined this. I have a pretty competitive personality, so these weeks have helped me tremendously at improving my skills in most ways!

 

Great scores all, keep it up!

@@Smile - You've inspired me to give it a go.  I'll give the Queen song a go tonight.  Hopefully I won't embarrass myself too much  :smile:

A little improvement...

 

I don't know how long it takes until i will never listen to this song again, but I guess not so long...
