The Way You Used To Do

It seemed to me that the advanced bass was a bit easier than the intermediate songs. Either way, I really enjoyed both.

 

Ghost- Absolution

That may be. This week it was hard to rate esp the 2 ints and the adv song for bass. They're very close together. I think the Mr Bungle song with its uncommon harmonic progression and those crazy walking line is harder to memorize, how to expect for a Patton Song.

 

some recommendations for 

Sex Pistols:

from a post from week 150

 

 

 

For those who are anoyed by playing detuned in this song with 440Hz tuning frequency, everyone can easily fix this by himself...

I don't post links for fixed versions anymore since once I got a warning point for doing this (  :cop: that's against the law the freebird police told me, next time I'm going into jail  :hushed:), so I'll explain for those who don't know how to fix the tuning frequency just by using the Toolkit 

open the Toolkit (CDLC Creator button)- klick import package and choose the custom - then you have to select a folder for all the stuff to save, you just can create one, choose it - now the custom is open and you need to open every arrangement by edit or just doubleklick - at tuning pitch you set 444 hz then hit ok - the frequency should now appear in the main page behind the edited arrangement, repeat editing with all playable arrangements - now just klick Generate and ..... tadaa, your fixed cdlc is finished and ready for copy and paste to your dlc game folder, don't forget to delete the old version!

all stats, highscores and highscorelists are obtained; I'm in the same list than all others at 440hz

 

Rush, esp guitar:

 

in the same way you can and should change the scroll speed at this song.

The original scroll speed is at 2.0, which is just too slow. In the song the rhythm is hardly readable and many single notes will be hidden behind chords. A better speed would be 1.4/5/6.

You can change that the same way as described above, in the arrangement sheets you change scroll speed with a slider there instead the frequenzy.

That's all. If someone want to change and doesn't know how to handle the Toolkit, I'd post a fixed version to the comments at the record pages. 

Happy birthday @@NoonyDeloony! October is the right month to have a birthday :D

Bungle sounded well and felt like a 95 - it wasnt... i wonder where i had those many misses,

Awesome we have anarchy, and there might have sipped a ghost tone in that i didnt play when it was recently selected

Happy Birthday @@NoonyDeloony! Birthday on a Sunday means cake and bisquits. I hope you had plenty.

 

Starting off the week with bass:

 

Happy birthday @@NoonyDeloony !! Have a pint for me, eh? :D

All were fun but wanted to punch my monitor on Xanadu

I know both these songs rather well, so it wouldn't be accurate to call these "first attempts". First attempts of the week?

 

 

One of the most fun Ghost songs on guitar for me, the main riff is just so badass. Pretty easy for advanced, though that one chunk of solo is pretty fast.

 

 

This could have been even higher, but I have a borked version of the file with the camera freeze and I couldn't read the high part. Not an MC difficulty song at all, barely harder than Absolution which is rather easy for Adv. But I do love new QotSA, so... eh!

 

Looking forward to the Mr Bungle track, those are always a (confusing) great time. :D

I fixed that not long after I uploaded it :)
