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.

Congrats to all the winners and a special recognition to those who scored 100%. Now lets get this new week started. Will be adding a section to the spreadsheet for points to determine future winners who score 100% on songs. Have to see how this can be done but I know there is a way. 

Evening peeps. My scores for today. Getting to 100% :P But enough for today, had a busy day, going to watch some online lessons, I'm on "reading the music" kind of lessons atm.

@ Just saw the video of 100%! Damn! :P Any chance you can record yourself playing it? I always enjoy vids with the guitar in it, there's always something new to see from another guitarist. GG

Have to learn how to do that, I don't have a webcam at the moment so i am trying to figure out how to use an xbox kinect as a camera. Once i figure this out I will post the video, Maybe @@Smile can teach me how to combine both videos like he did. 

Slight update on previous attempt.. About .5% - to 95.87%

Some of the chords in the middle of the song just aren't being recognised, for some reason...  :geek:

 

Update - 96.04% with 87 streak (?? poor start)..

 

Anyway, enough for one night! :)

@ it is my second video I've done :) so im have to learn too

I did it exactly as done in the video from youtube

the recording of me I've done with an external hd camera. theoretically would go there with an iphone :)

Unfortunately, I may not be able to make an attempt this week either. I was in a near fatal car accident last Tuesday morning and now I'm stuck in a neck brace for the next two weeks. I was fortunate that I had my seatbelt on or the officer said I would have died. Anyway enough about that. I hope I'll be able to get well enough to play this week. The song list looks amazing. Good luck everyone.

Glad to hear you got through it, although by the sound of things not without some damage.  Look after yourself and just take it easy.  The guitar will be there when you feel up to it..

@@Smile I never thought of using my phone to record myself lol. Gives me some ideas now. Thank you. 

My new baby arrived. A ten years old Fernandes Monterey.

I always wanted to hace a susteiner!

 

i won´t have much time today and tomorrow for some back in black.

 

And know iam more into infinite sustain

Challenging song, I think Masterclass and Intermediate are the wrong way around this week :P

 

I got 78.5% on my first attempt of Back in Black, and this is my result of *hours* in riff repeater for this song.

 

That said felt like I'm learning a lot from it (while in RR), I'm using my pinky more, getting better at chords and thinking more on finger placement to hit upcoming notes without moving too much. I will keep trying

Also I bought a bass recently, so here's my debut:

First try. This is tough but managable,...I guess

Great scores guys. Keep them coming.

 

Played several times through Wind cries mary and Rocksmith tells my that my score could be better.

It could be better indeed considering the fact that I learned this song many years ago.

This CDLC seems to be converted 1:1 from the RS1 version. In RS1 there was no possibility to chart chord embellishments (hammer ons and pull offs in a chord).

But this song (like every Hendrix song) is full of chord embellishments. When I try to play what I see on the screen it sounds nothing like Hendrix.

I then ignored most of the notes on the screen and tried to play what I hear on the record.

Probably I can get a better score by just strummming like a maniac the chords.

Hello! this is my first entry into the championship.  

 

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/koikomoru/2014-04-01_00002_zpsc9bb5ff9.jpg

 

If i get 3x's for 3 songs (weeks) i get moved up to intermediate, right?

Some improvement, but credit to @@Smile.  I watched his video and got enough from it to gain a percent or two.  Thanks Smile

 

You guys in the beginner section better slow down lol....I'm working till 10pm every night this week so doubt I can contribute much.  It's looking like I'll have to make 100% on Saturday to keep up :D

@@ryjil83 that is normally the case if you score 95% 3 weeks in a row or if you score 98% you are moved up to Intermediate. However we are pretty relaxed with the rules here and simply let people play what they are comfortable playing. We are after all here to have fun.

Works for me.I look forward to improving and moving up. The entire idea of this little competition is really cool, btw

I believe it's from the original ubisoft forums, might you be interested in playing another championship with official songs. 

Oh shit! Just red about the accident.  Get well soon @ cauzT

A new challenger (in mc) appears.

I cant figure out why my mastery keeps rising around 10% higher than my accuracy. I have not been using RR or MM.

New score :D

Leaderboard Updated

Chuffed...

Had a couple of days off (busy with other things), came back, watched @@Smile's video, had one go at it and got 98.28 (2%+ improvement over my last one) and a new high score for me..

Shows me that there isn't any point in pushing things too much...  ;)

 

Right, curry and beer time!  :)

Cheers again @@Smile!

Maybe not managable for me. But i'll try to get 80%

@@Hostilian @@diddie17 good to see that the video has helped you a bit :)

 

i love acdc, but that's me probably too difficult :(

I still can not play as well as individual notes quickly

power chords work great

Made a slight improvement over the last entry.  I'll need to be more consistent.  I keep missing little notes here and there.
