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.

http://i.imgur.com/ApOzuTr.jpg

I did bonus track in lead (for intermediate) in a song Muse. Remove DD, add sections in RR, changed a fingers positions as i thinking is right. (There is little bugs in RR. impossible set RR to start a song, i dont know why. For learning it is not important.

 

 Finded second bug, after remove DD in ToolKit (DDC), disappeared tech notes (bends 15-17 frets)).

 

Before add this CDLC, dont forget delete original a file (Muse_Uprising_v1-23_p.psarc).

 

UPD. I fixed bends, but didnt RR. (It bug appeared after remove DD) New link for download:

After learned song,  please play original part for screenshot. In my version not accurate bands.

Link not working for me, @...

 

I'd, personally, like an alternative tuning (live) version..  ;)

I'm not convinced anyone would 'choose' to play this in plain old Drop D..

 

I'll settle for my 99.22% on Beginner (I'm not chasing missed notes for the sake of less than a %) so I'll be concentrating on Intermediate. I'll give your version a go!  :)

I, personally, :)  dont like listen live records. Studio records is  much good for my. For me sound has a large value. Live is good, only if it is real live.

I'm just calling it 'live' in relation to the tuning. It is a studio recording though.

I need try live version if it have sound good. But i dont like custom tuning :)

After learned song,  please play original part for screenshot. In my version not accurate bands.

@@Smile I wish i had your time and dedication, great job man. great score there. 

@ thx :)

 

here is the Vid

[sharedmedia=videos:videos:261]

 

@@Smile very impressive video those early misses cost you a perfect run. I hate when things like that happen to me. You are becoming a great guitarist keep going and don't give up. Pretty soon you will be better than all of us. 

Leaderboard Updated

 

From now on if your score has a * next to it in the spreadsheet it is there for my own purposes to let me know not to count the score at the end of the week. It is mainly a reminder for myself to let me know that someone did something that deserves special recognition for. Such as playing a song in master mode or scoring 100% on lead. 

 

great scores from everyone so far but I would love to see some more people play the intermediate song. I will play it tonight hopefully and post my score. I doubt I will get anywhere near 90% as its a difficult song but I will try.

 

@ great score on the intermediate song I know its a tough one and can be very boring waiting for so long to start playing so seeing you stick with it makes me happy. I have that problem where I can't play it a lot because of all the waiting but I will try and put that past me so I can learn the song. I doubt I will try Riff Repeater on it though. 

@ Im not waiting start playing, i play it in RR  a big packet sections. And i when ready (i calculated as  much notes in a song using RR, and i know how much allowed miss for defined percentage) or finish learning on today, only then i start full song for score.

 

For example: In this song 655 notes, for accuracy=90% allowed miss 72 notes, if i miss in RR more then 60 a notes, no sense go to play full song for score. So i need learning more separately phrases in RR.

 

P.s I like this a song. otherwise it would dont waste a lot time for it.

So I have 2 scores for Metallica lead:

1st one is from Learn a Song - 96%, 118 streak:

2nd one is from Score Attack - 95.95%, 86 streak:

As I remember well LaS is eligible but wanted to be sure. Had not much time to play and like Flannathir that chord changes are killing me.

Muse song is very difficult but I like the challenge. The chords for the song are very hard to switch to when you don't know them well. I have to practice the chords a bit more to improve on this song. Will keep trying it and see if I can get a better score but this is what I was able to muster for now. I removed the DD from it because I can't get through Score attack lol.

@ Did you see my mod this CDLC? I set positions a fingers, it now enough easy, solo more hard. All chords i play ~10 miss.

Will try your version and see if I can do better

@ Krazyone

If you hate having to wait to play, the for god sakes. Don't play Bohiemian Rhapsody by Queen. You start the song, put down the guitar, takea leak, get some coffe, check email, grab a snack. Then maybe it's time to play.

Lol I love that song actually but I knew exactly what your taking about. I hate when I get to that part when playing the song but I just sing along to it or just listen. It's a great song.

Dunno how to get the pic to display :(

Hi, Im new to the contest. Great songs this week. Im joining in Bass, masterclass.

RS seems to have problems with slides, but today I finally made it to 100%

Even with some training (outside rs) on the chords this song is way out of my league. But i made a little bit of progress today.

Up on 1 %: 91 % Hardcore solo for me (almost but no enough speed right hand). I hope add yet 4-5 %

Lead - Die, Die My Darling - 98,91%

I'll try to do better next week!

Up to 78% with 120 streak on Muse (Lead)..

Not getting much time this week to practice - it needs a lot of time in RR..

edit.. Just had another go and the game is no longer recognising the first bend notes of the song. Comes up as a 'miss'.

GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
