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 songs may be selected as well. NO OFFICIALLY RELEASED DLC is supported at this time. . 

 

9a. All songs must have riff repeater and a custom tone in order to qualify for the championships

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.

@Collison.

I went from 10's to 11-48. Found to be less buzz and better note recognition (especially drop D).

Just change 1 string at a time and you'll be fine. Easy peasy on my Gibby.

You will probably want to adjust the truss rod (tighten by only 1/8 turn at a time then leave to settle) to straighten the neck slightly. I didn't need to adjust my bridge.

Plenty of vids for both on YouTube.. :)

No time to play so far this week. Hopefully tonight.. :D

5min and 18sec of smashing strings i hope is close to what rocksmith wants. Got 71% but i think i deserve more in the range of 7,1%.  Im not going to try that one again in at lest a few years.

@@MaZtoR don't get discouraged most Metallica songs are extremely difficult especially this one.

Oh nooo way ! I was trying the song today again, and the FUCKING 2nd harmonics, just keep screwing me over. I almost smashed my computer. Good job mate !

@Krazyone  I would not call i discouraged. Its more optimistic to hope i will be able to play that in a few years. Considering that i picked up the guitar less than 6 months ago.

I would say few months honestly @@MaZtoR if you keep at it and use Rocksmith 2014's tools you will be surprised at how fast you will learn the songs you want to learn. Everyone should be using the lessons that Rocksmith has to offer as they teach a lot more than we realize. Take a look @@Smile he is pushing the limits every week. I am amazed at how fast he is learning and pushing himself. Also look @ she is tearing shit up as well. I am very proud to see everyone learning more and more and each week.  You are also getting better and better each week as it shows with your scores. I myself am noticing that songs that I couldn't play a few months ago I am starting to get the hang of and my fingers seem to be getting faster as well. Its all practice and this is what this competition helps us with which is what we all need.

 

Seeing everyone participate and seeing the improvements every week keeps me motivated to keep these competitions running. Not only is Rocksmith a great tool for all of us, I believe these competitions give us some extra motivation to keep playing and learning. Without Rocksmith and these forums I don't think I would be anywhere near where I am today in terms of knowledge of guitar and I thank all of you who have joined this competition for it. Without you guys the motivation to learn would not be so strong and I wouldn't have learned as much as I have since picking up this game.  

@ Thanks for kind words. It is much support for all us, For my, no chance improve my score today in lead Mortorhead, very fast solo. My fingers hang up with this speed. My best now in 2 sections solo is 9 miss notes but average 15. And i now postponed guitar, until didnt read your inspiring post. Now continue practice  :)

Hope after 10 years practice with guitar i can play hard song by Megadeth, i very like awesome sound group and fantastic solo Dave Mustane.

 

p.s. I am male. (My avatar is guitarist from japan all girls punk group "Lolita №18", love crazy girls with guitar).

Slight update

 

96.85% with 94 streak - Ace of Spades Rhythm..

Not sure if it's the song or the game on my computer but it slows down or jitters a bit during this song. VERY off-putting at times.

@@lordlk Nice score. But not, Motorhead rhytm:

Yes, lessons are really cool, bad thing that Nonstop-play is so fun, that I'm not doing much else :P Guitarcade is also very nice (though I got to top100 in DuxRedux few months ago, never got better result since).

Hehe, and I don't like competing. But I want to be able to play Metallica stuff, so I'll keep working on. And it's funnier with great people, like you guys (ladies), around.

Score for lead Motorhead:

Here is my score for Ace of Spades rhythm. Lead arrangement is a bit too difficult for me.. :)

http://i.imgur.com/bUdmpj0.jpg

Slight improvement again.. A few silly misses due to non-detected notes. DOH..

I think it's close enough though. It's not as if I'm missing out whole sections!  :)

 

Motorhead - Rhythm 97.38% 144 streak..

I think this is as good as it's gonna get this week for me, I really didn't think I was going to beat my first score  :smile: 

Another 2,5% today.
