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.

I can do better I am sure but just wanted to post my first playthroughs. Might stick with the MC song this week as both the beginner and Intermediates are too easy for me. 

Gary Moore <3

 

And more power chords in beginner sections :( I'll hit it once and that's it.

94% in first with paiful cut in middle finger... i think this week will be fighting with score 

I'm not going to learn anything new as a beginner with another week of power chords, I got to 98% doing that last week (even though the leaderboard wasn't updated :) )

 

I'll try and find something I like to play for this week :)

Remember guys if you want to change a song you have all day today to discuss it. If a majority want to change the song we will choose a different one. That goes for every class.

@@Collision True, we all are tired of another set of power chords, but remember, practice makes you perfect :) We should discuss song selections this week because if members wont participate then there's no purpose with this competition. I can suggest new songs from Arctic Monkeys, fairly easy and good songs afterall. What you think guys?

@ I feel this song is charted as rhythm. You can clearly hear solo guitar at part where are those power chords. ?

@@MightyMouse - The beginners song this week isn't for me.  I'm ok either way though.  If you want to suggest a change then I'll be happy to have a go at something else, otherwise I'll probably try to have a go at the intermediate instead.

We will change the beginner song then guys. I will leave it open to discussion on what song you guys would like to play. So give me a few suggestions and we will decide in a few hours.

@@MightyMouse if you're talking about the intermediate song I think there might be another lead guitar on this song as well. I hear a few solos as well that I would love to try and play but I don't know if it's included.

When I will post screenshots,disregard the number how many times I played it, just downloaded the newest version,so it resetted.(played it like 20 times before)

The "missing" solos are in rhythm section,both guitarists play solos in Amorphis.
