And a first for this week.   Cant even remember playing it before but apparently last time i scored 96.72% after 4 tries.

Ok what's next...

I was playing my Hagstrom, and ran out of frets, so I ended up playing fretless, further up the neck. lol

Insomnium improvements:

 

 

Now that Lead has been upgraded to 6, due to the verse riff, can we please upgrade Rhythm, which has more of that riff, to a 5?

That would give me a chance to level up both Rhythm and Lead this week :)

 

LIked this song. A little tricky, but very fun to play

 

Spent way more time on this that I thought I would. Interesting riff patterns in this song. Once I got the hang of it, it got really fun to play.

 

Overall a pretty cool song, only complaint is that I feel the song volume is too low. Hope to get upper 99% and maybe win for once

  You and i are not playing the same Orion.  Mine is 15 seconds longer and i have a feeling that it is easier.

@@MaZtoR thx for letting me know.   The download link from this page:

 

http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/orion-r14426

 

Was not working for me, so, I grabbed the file from the v1.2 backup link on the same page.  Not sure how to get the correct file for this.

Thanks MaZtoR, your link worked!

Bigger improvement.

Don't care about this song. Some notes don't register, even in slower parts

 

 

This one is more fun. I was to quick to label it a beginner song :) although it's easier to play with strings change

@@Gamut Looking at ATWA again, I don't think it's just charting error. Ain't it using a single tone for whole song or something? It should start clean, but it have a bit of drive which is noticeable if you let both strings ring. LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE

I don't think its as easy as you have made it sound, at least not for me. I do agree with that it should have a cleaner tone in some parts of the song, it sounds bad and my lack of ability makes it sound even worse.

 

intermediate is a little bit difficult for old people like me  :D  :D  :D

@@Kosa What's it for then? Isn't the first reason of why to join for competition? Don't get me wrong, I'm here for fun as well but I'm also pretty competitive.
