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.

Well now i have to resetup my guitar but at least i have participated!

Metallica easier than  Jonny B Goode. First run 56% (Metallica 76%) :eek: How it possible learn?  

 

p.s. But im started on sloooow speed. Good song.

 

Song Nightwish good  for beginners and me (first run 90%) :)

D standard tuning for the beginner song again!  Are there no beginner songs in E standard anymore?

 

Looks like I'm giving it a miss this week.

Jonny B Goode is a good bit tougher than last week's intermediate - or is it just me?

@@Hostilian After 3 hours I play Jonny on speed 80% and have 5-9 fails notes in every section. I think impossible for me to learn it for 1 week.

My goal is accuracy 80%

Yep.. Might have to take it as a longer term thing.. Will see how I get on.

Jonny - 64% and 64 streak (2nd play)..

It's a bit out of my league at the moment. Just too damn fast!

 

I'll give it a go (out of fun, rather than competition) but will hopefully enter next week again!  :)

at metallica I'll always faster. after half makes my hand steered limp :(

Here's my best run so far. I had a higher score on my first run, but the second half of the song hit me like a brick so my percentage was lower that time. Not giving up yet!

Managed to beat my score. Don't think I'll do any better than this though

this is so freaking hard

how is that intermediate, i do not know

@@Wolfie3101 Fight man :) I am in the process of  fight.

My method : Begin 80% and +1% (after <2-4 mistake).... to 100 % for every hard section, then select 3 section, set  90% +1%... to 100% then all song in RR counting errors. 

 

 

Upd. I did it! Johnny lead Accuracy 90% streake 119

looking for that 99

target 92/93

Got 1%. By the way, I think the yellow number means something you know... I mean, it's evolving along with my accuracy, and maybe I'm wrong but, it's like score attack, there is just only 1 figure after the comma ^^

Leaderboard Updated

 

Sorry for the lack of my participation and updating the spreadsheet its been a rough couple of days. I should be able to finally get back into participating with the competition this week. Also I understand that the Johnny B. Goode song may be difficult for an intermediate song but some songs will always be harder than others but comparing the two I think the Metallica one is much harder. 

@ I'm looking forward to when you're back :)

my neck bracing is also gone, much magnesium helps :)

@@HNawks the yellow number you see just represents how much of the song you have played correctly. It doesn't mean that you played 92.5% correctly in one playthrough though it just means that from all the playthroughs you have done you have played 92.5% of the song correctly. This is not taking mastermode into account though as you may gain more % from mastermode. An example would be that one run you did great on a section of the song and then the next run you did great on a different section of the song so it will remember the sections you have done correctly and add to the score. Also if you riff repeat any part of the song and get 100% on it in it will count that as well because you played it correctly. 

@@Wolfie3101 I cannot use that screenshot you submitted as it does not show the accuracy for the run or a streak. Please upload a new screenshot that shows both of these. 

Been away for a while but I wanted to post some scores. 

 

first attempts for me
