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.

Intermediate: Amorphis - From The Heaven Of My Heart

Masterclass: Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues

Okay here we go, first upload, I will work on it some more, I'm working on two other songs right now also. I need to get a better streak in this song and practice a couple of spots.

 

@@Szur sorry to hear about your finger that really sucks. Good luck though I'm going to shoot for 100% on this one just haven't taken much time with it yet. If it's any consolation I'm doing my first work for the season outside and I'm sore and my left arm keeps going numb. Nothing like a cut finger though.

I really like this Arctic Monkeys song! Well this is my go at it so far,

@@Altamont-613 Those are great rules, guess I can't play the blues I have at least 2 of those. :)

Leaderboard Updated

4 playthroughs and a few curses and 77% (Lead)..

Can't remember by streak (wasn't saving it as I'm not anywhere near finished with this)..

 

I'm not sure it's in the same difficulty league as Halestorm's beginner song from last week - ie, this is possibly Intermediate - but I'm not done yet, not by a long shot... It looks like I might have some fun with this.  :)

 

edit.. few more and I'm up to 80.2 Lead - with a screenshot this time..

Need to spend some time in RR.. Getting there.  :)

I suck at rhythm. Even I hit most of the notes, I'm not consistent with the rhythm. One second I'm faster, the other one I'm failing behind etc... Would be great if you could actually turn on a metronome ingame :o Anyways, here's my little score :(

Not a bad score IMO. The Rhythm will come with time and patience you just need to learn to listen to the rhythm and get a feel for it. If you really need a metronome you can easily find one for android or iphone if you have one of those. 

@@Rottenboozer Attention im behind you :) now only not rest

here my score

last update before I head home. Some great scores out there guys great job. Lets see some more people posting scores. 

 

Leaderboard Updated. 

I will try to play some when i get home and see if i can get better on the masterclass song this week. I may try my hand at the rhythm sections as well.

A little improvement on the MC song props to those have get higher than 70% accuracy as this song is not easy. Those bends are killer. Going to try this on my 24Fret guitar and see if I can muster out a few % points.

Minor improvement, I missed one shitty note!

My score after 3 attempts. Might try to do some RR to improve, but my guitar does not register any bend at all on the high E strong over the 19th fret for some reason, have this problem on all songs. I guess the frets are not placed very well on this cheap excuse for a guitar. (and yes I tried my best to correct intonation, but it was not easy!)

Damn beginning.. Not really hard, but i still tend to fuck it up all the time

 

Also, I have the Blues (no teeth, wife... , ....) But this Song is too hard.

GJ everyone!

update

@Krazyone: Here it is

 

I've changed the volumes of the 2 lead tones, if you find they are too loud or too low, just use the toolkit, click on the bottom where it says "Import Package", all the information will be filled in the toolkit, just click the tone(s) you want higher or lower, change the volume, click "Generate" and you have a new .psarc with the tone(s) louder or lower. You can also do this for the song volume, remove DD, change the name of the song (like I did and added NDD in the end of the song name), AppID, etc.

Thank you much I've tried removing DD on a few songs but event I try it the songs stop working and just hand at the speakers. No idea why it keeps doing that and is with the most recent toolkit as well.

For the posterity of doing the exact same percentage with just a couple of notes more for the streak :

And a better upgrade for the rythm :

And a perfect for the bass :

That was a great day!

Slow progress in Arctic Monkeys song.

Nowhere near as 'easy' as the last Beginners song.

87.64% 64 streak Lead..
