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.

Congrats to all the winners and a special recognition to those who scored 100%. Now lets get this new week started.

The songs for this week are:

 

Beginner: Metallica - Die, Die my darling

 

Intermediate: Muse - Uprising

 

Masterclass: Queen - I want it all

I had an advantage that I learned this song six months ago before I got RS14 for PC ;)

This week masterclass is pretty messy, wrong bend indication and sometimes wrong note and no rythm arrangement.

But at least i did great on the bass part...

For my intermediate a song by Muse very complicated, damn chords. My fingers knotted in a knot. Only 60%. It will fail learn for weak.

 

P.s.I replaced crap(for my) tone in  Mettalica. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b8hxwpjv18xzcvc/Metallica_Die-Die-My-Darling_v1_p.psarc

Keep it up @. Yeah, its difficult (and I don't think I'll get a high score on Intermediate) but I'll learn a lot. :)

That is, if I get some time. ;)

Small improvement

 

Gave uprising a few playthroughs and feel its a shame there are so much time without a guitar part. I get bored when i am just waiting and i dont like playing it in RR all the time.  But its a great song for getting used to some chords.

(removed dd as i could not keep it purple)

i played this shit like a milion times and im getting sick and tired of the slides...

improving the score, but only a little. I had even better score, but i forgott to printscreen and I cant beat it.

I had 99,47%. So hopefuly ill get it even better tomorrow. Im getting so frustrated right now that i 

cant even get past 99%

 

so here's my 2nd best try today http://i.imgur.com/mhABw9o.jpg

First shot of the whole song (Muse - Uprising) on Lead and 70% with 60 streak.. LOL.

A very loooooooong way to go on this one...  :shock:

 

Getting quickly up to the 15/17 fret needs work, as do the chords and the mini solos on the BGD strings..

Basically the whole damn song, lol..  :mrgreen:

 

Had another go on DDMD (to feel slightly better after the car-crash that was my Muse attempt)...

 

edit.. Slightly better.. 99.22% 282 streak..

p.s. In a song Muse wrong position for fingers in section chords, not 1+2 on 5 fret, must be only first finger in barre. similarly on 6 fret.

Now for my hard is  solo, because few sections in RR. Long way to solo. I will try add more sections tomorrow.

@ Thx maybe a vid :)

@@Smile You kidiing? It wil be shameful a video with  30-40 miss a notes and crap sound production.

 May be you will make video Metallica?

I use your Version is mutch better then the other Version i try to make a vid and listen befor i Upload it.

Been doing some research on the Muse song and I think its the wrong tuning. ie NOT drop D.

It looks like both the E AND A strings are dropped to D and G. Easier to play some of the riffs and chords too.. :)

Check out the band at the 2011 Grammy's on you tube. About 3.17 in, you'll spot it.. Though he is effectively using two guitars.. ;)

There are two versions of this song available a live version and a standard version. The live version is tuned as you say. The other apparently comes from an official tab book. 

Thanks. Yep, looking at a few tabs, it looks like there is a bit of a mix of the two.

However, it must be much easier to play with both strings dropped. You just need to not precisely follow some of the prompts in RS. ;)

Im huge muse fan so i can set this right. Album version is on drop D while the live version is custom tuning. i play it on custom tuning, because it is better. The chords are weird but it is way nicer in my opinion.its clear herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kLUqj5a0dI

After a long battle another percent or so.  Not that it matters, but I don't really want to be bottom 2 weeks in a row :-)

 

Ok score update...

And on a personal note, my hand is cramping like an SoB... so I'm putting my guitar back down and going back to my bass!

:P

Update to my score.

Going nuts with the slide notes. Have no idea how they should be played propely :mrgreen:

@mmrrss 

 

It's a tremolo slide. I'm actually having problems with the chord changes at the end of the chorus. By the time I get to em my hand is cramping so bad I can't hit em properly lol!

:rolleyes:
