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

 

1. No theme week for halloween, but at least there's a song (thanks @ kayteck ).

2. I didn't test the capo arrangements, but @ Mikson 's ratings are usually ok.

3. As always, feel free to give feedback on the ratings.

Ah, it's a good selection. I have played 3 of these songs before so I can show the scores.

For me, this is the best song to play from the new Muse album. Fun on all paths.

And one of my favorite songs by The Smiths. I've played this for a long time, but I remember most of the chart is fast chords strumming.

Oh what a nice selection. Plus i get to compete on Muse, one of my fav bands, my fav album right now

The way every note has sustain is making my eyes bleed. Look at that overlap.
It's a fairly old song and I guess you get used to it though.


Anyway, score time.


Instrumental metal, nice. If their other stuff is instrumental I might end up quite liking them.

yay kasabian and muse got picked! *will try others asap


Geez...i forgot how hit or miss the slides are, i had to retry a couple of times to fc it again xD but im glad i could still do it on lead!
 Johnals score is mental grats!

I also made a version where the bass has the solo (since he plays the solo) if anyone wants to try that out just for the fun of it here:

bass sight reads

this ones end part is pretty hard will be nice to riff repeat. also first time i heard it i thought he said death star and the we are fucking fucked part is kinda the same notes used for imperial march anyways great to have muse!

You put the SMITHS in rockSMITH!! also you said there was no halloween theme but the sustains and choices to fret the notes on bass to this are pretty scary hahah. but bad jokes aside its a really nice song i hadnt heard before, i will listen to it from now on 🙂

Wasn't me, it's @ Mikson who put the song on the list. I just rolled the dice and made a post.

Like @ coldrampage said, it's an old CDLC. There was a time where most of them had sustains like this (in my experience at least). You learn to ignore them after a while.

You got a solid smirk from me. Not bad, 7/10, keep it up.

After site playing I cannot see getting a decent score on this one. Looks quite difficult for me after 1st play 😞

Oh wow, great song to listen to and to play (hard 3, rather 3.5)

 

 

 

great one, classic Muse songwriting (hard 5)

 

 

 

cool song (6) i am so terrible at using capodasters, i´d be able to perform better without - having to fret the 4th fret by hand i think... but well needed practice!

 

 

 

a lot better on 2nd try

 

 

 

95, very happy with that

 

 

 

slightly harder than lead, i´d go with (7)

 

 

 

another 95, yes (7)

 

 

 

phhh quite fast (7 - 7.5)

 

 

 

it´s a 95 day, not unhappy here

 

 

 

oh what a fun ride! (8,5)

 

 

 

@ coldrampage @ cacahuate51 @ nlbsmglsk

You are right about The Smiths song. This is a bit of my neglect, because I added this suggestion a long time ago and forgot about it later. Yes it's an old CDLC that needs improvement, so today I improved the old version by adding Bass path according to the official tabs.

I tested it and it's a bit easier, but I think it's 8 and still a masterclass.

@ nlbsmglsk or @ Rodman Please update the topic post with this version!

I'll add guitar paths and upload a new CDLC on Ignition, but it needs a little more time.

Wow man, thanks! I mean the old version was playable imo, I wouldn't include it otherwise, but this is really great. I updated the post.
