Let us know your opinions on the accuracy of the difficulty scores (1-10) for this weeks songs.

What do we have?

 

A great week i think.

If you or your gear does not like C# tuning - ypu can use my Estd version, best enjoyed with headphones, cause your strings sound does not match the piched tone.

Top Gun, just epic. The Who - also. Amorphis, a real classic.

 

Bass Masters: its an easy week, too easy maybe - if so - let me know and i will serve you something to go for from the past.

Upleveling news:

 

@@coldrampage moves up to MC Rhy!

@ZeroPingNZ moves up to Adv Rhy!

Cool I can at least play, The Who, on my ps4! 

And hopefully get set back up again on PC, before the week is out to perhaps grab a win on that easy MC Bass :D 

Just played Lead and Rhythm and Wow, beginners have a tough week!

According to your post from previous week:

 

 

Yes - so ... i have checked your scores and esp. that 88% at Maiden makes you and Adv Guitarist.

 

I have put you to LEAD: Adv RHY: Adv BASS: Int - thats to give you the joy of leveling up soon.

 

Uplevels happen at 99%+ Guitar, 99.5%+ Bass at Highest Rated Song of each class - so 3 for beg, 5 for int (yes, that´s you on bass), 7 for adv.

 

Is that ok for you?

 

I was assigned to intermediate bass. I had 99% accuracy, why I didn't win, and what does the gray font and * next to nicknames in the championship table mean?

Well, you did destroy the 99.5 % marker easily with your first try on that intermediate bass participation, and you know full well you can hold your own on advanced side. So you do belong to higher class, but you are right. You were supposed to be placed to intermediate in level last week.

 

The gray font with asterisk means that it's below your skill level, black font with asterisk means it above your skill level.

 

I've now fixed the last week's winner list to grant you the intermediate bass win, but please do play all of the bass tracks this week. All off them are below Advanced level. Maybe that will help us figure out where you belong. Lead and rhythm-wise you are definitely at least advanced.

OK thanks, I was assigned to intermediate bass at the beginning of the previous champiosnhip week, so I didn't show my scores above this class. This week I'll try to play everything, especially that I like Blue Öyster Cult ;)

speedy bass yeet

pretty nice song, put my hand in the wrong place and missed a bunch tho.

 

bit slow at the start but pretty good when the lead comes in.

 

eh it's fine.

 

It's got some fun bits between the slow bits. Got some funky note timing, and that jump from 12 to 3 was pretty mad. Quite nice, keeps ya on your toes lol

 

guitar tomorrow?

I feel like RoR, just got a major slap in the face here. RoR has had to play Inter Bass 4 times, just to hit 98.83%. Mikson played it just once to hit 99.6%. Again, I don't believe Mikson to be at an Intermediate level. I'd be totally pissed if I was RoR. 

Trying to jump on these while things are calm....

 

And I thought Highway to the Danger Zone WAS the Top Gun Anthem!

 

Hadn't play this one on bass before.

 

 

Taking a stab at GOG for bass.

I bought my first bass guitar more than a month ago, before I played only a little on emulator bass in Rocksmith. So I don't feel like an advanced player on bass, I don't play hard songs very well.

Okay right, so, it doesn't matter how long someone has played an instrument for. My point is, you've only had like one attempt at each Intermediate bass path and got 99%+ on all 3 weeks. If your first play was 80% then you improved that to 99% after say 5-10 play throughs, (we have 7 days to improve our scores) then there would be no issue. But you are straight in at 99% with one attempt, that's not an Intermediate bassist. Your guitar skills has obviously helped you learn the bass quickly. You should be in advance. It's not fair for those who are genuinely at an Intermediate level.

 

PS: I'm not trying to be horrible or mean to you. Take it as a compliment, you are better than you think :)

That took a ton of practice. Up from 90 %.

 

Well that solo was unexpected

I'm cool with being second, more reason to practice. Yes, my score did take me a few more attempts but i enjoyed them.  :D 

To be honest i would prefer Mikson stay at Int Bass since only a couple of us competing at that level, at-least until we all move up!

 

I do need to buy a bass guitar tho as i'm currently playing emulated.  :blink:

That's the spirit!  The blade hones the blade, someone to challenge you is a good thing!

Do I have a rank?

I saw my scores for individual songs(on the document), but didn't see myself on list for totals/rank comparison.

 

 

Pretty average (in difficulty) bassline of the era, wouldn't call this as worthy of the highest difficulty bracket as anything lately aside from the Hexen bassline:

 

 

The first play was old:

Yay, some emotions! I love it. Gentlemen, choose your weapons ;)

 

No, really - discussion about player class placement and ratings of song is always welcome, makes it a bit more thrilling.

For @@Mikson - yes he is ADV in Rhy and Lead, and i instantly put him there, and yes he is in the most probable way ADV in bass also, BUT he only has been playing bass for a month and i put him into INT to give him the joy of upleveling once soon, for it will likely take long to go to MC in any class, as that is a huge gap.

Do I have a rank?

I saw my scores for individual songs(on the document), but didn't see myself on list for totals/rank comparison.

 

Well, #1 you have to finish top 4 of your class or a higher class to get on the leaderbards (pts are 10/5/3/1 for 1st-4th), that won´t last long if you show up there i think. Last week you took 5th in your class ADV Bass (by the blink of a fly behind me) and 7th in MC.

 

#2, you get your skill rating (Player Level XP) in the shiny new looking file i worked on the last weeks after having at least 3 scores on your classes highest rated or above songs (thats 7 or above for ADV), of course also MC will count for you, over the last running 12 weeks, will also soon be there when you keep playing.

 

 

 

 

Rock, Rod.

Expecting a hard fight.
