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

OK It's time to play some full mighty album!

Btw. I don't know which song - Black Saabath or Testament should be Intermediate / Advanced on Bass. For me it's a very similar level of difficulty, so it would be nice if the others posted their tips quickly, then I can swap it.

@ Mikson  wow. thanks for Maanam... glad it is made good enough to play in the Championship 🙂

BTW it is nearly 4th anniversary of the singer's death, so nice tribute...

RIP Kora...

First play through sight reads, although I have played a few of the songs off of Seventh Son just not in full album format. Very fun picks this week, been playing a lot of Maiden lately so GOG is right up my alley this week. Still need to play the new Muse song.

man i was getting excited towards the end that itd be my first 100% with no restarts but the slides said not today.
cool song! intro reminds of marliyn manson the beautiful people with the guitar strokes and the vocal lines


this song brings back good Guitarhero 3 memories!  thanks for that (cant wait to try the other arrangments). i do think you placed it right out of the two songs. 
 
gotta enjoy the open string songs /m/
still practicing masterclass one the slides and a 11 yellow kinda throw me off but its a fun song to play!

Haha again you did 100% at the beginning of the week so I can only say GG and play for fun 😄

Btw, I moved you to the advanced class on Rhythm, because you are there on Bass and Lead, and still intermediate on Rhythm, I don't know why.

nice version .... never ever a 5 that solo, clear (6)

 

clear (9) cool song also

because we misse the levelups of @ austywells @ Mattscall and @ cacahuate51 on rhy int to adv week 449

just tried Muse...

aren't Lead and Rhythm paths swapped in the file by any chance?

 

what a banger!!! (7.5-8) really hard to master fast rhythm

... listen to me.... once i preach!!!

rhy adv (5.5) yeah

 

I'll try to rate the bass arrangements once I get home (approx. 12h)

lil +

 

perfect beginner song (3)

love those guys

 

@ kayteck absolutely, that path is way more leady, we shall be playing that as lead and the lead as rhy

you know there is only one guitarist in the band - so there is no defined roles in the traditional way though

Ah now I can see. But RATM song was rated too high, it wasn't a 5 on the Rhythm for sure so we shouldn't take that into account.. And for sure Matshall is not an advanced class, look at his int results from other weeks, even there it's a bit too difficult for him.

It's basically the same path, I guess it differs only by a few notes on the high frets...

corrected the above and did those Adv Level uplevels - congrats guys

of course 🙂

technically there should be only lead path, and i assume played as charted in rhythm...

no clue how the author made up both 😉

Oh damn... true - please when that happens correct the diff rating while week is running and make a statement else we are in a mess.

well... yes...

however, i.e. for me... it makes a hudge difference how this is played difficulty wise...

after listening to the song now, no clue which is actual path played 🙂

i think there are tons of effects applied over the guitar sound... 

Ok, reverted the uplevels - let´s stick to the rules - we uplevel players automatically on 99+ un highest diff score of their class (99.5 bass) or when THEY want to uplevel anytime. Else we don´t move people anywhere.

Downgrading RATM to 4

ok.. i will answer my own question/doubt...

that explains a lot...

 

there should be no rhythm path and lead looks like charted properly for what is being played...

Hey that´s from the show i saw a week ago - that was the opening song afair and as you see, the show was a blast...

But.. for the paths - it doesnt mean there is only one guitar line on the record, that´s not really usual - let´s play as we discussed rhy is lead and lead is rhy

 

bass (3.5-4) yeah
