Looks like a brilliant week!

Thx @ Mikson for doing that selection on very short notice!

@ nlbsmglsk all the best!!!!

One more question on the topic of suggesting songs. I assume that for these songs to qualify it is a necessity that they have both lead, rhythm, and bass as a path? I have quite a few songs that I love but only have the lead path charted, I assume those are not eligible for the championship?

Not necessarily. You can add songs with lead as the only path to the suggestion list. Same for other paths, but for bass we have a separate tab - Only Bass Songs. You just have to reckon with the fact that such CDLCs can be rarely chosen, because then it's harder to create a championship selection for the week.

But the most important thing is to suggest good quality CDLC, especially CDLC from many years ago which are often not good quality in terms of chart/sync/tones.

From testing:

Nice chill song, I like to play this, although the guitar chart is not very extensive and contains mainly chords.

Another nice song, a single from the last release of Black Keys and again fun (for me) to play.

Ah, that surprised me positively. I've only played a few Blind Guardian songs (in champions only) and those always been nice charts. The arpeggio parts and solos are in my opinion just right for an advanced level.

New single from Metallica upcoming album. I like it somehow more than the first single.

I must admit that I have problems with the main rhythm riff, for others it may not be so difficult. 🤔

My sightreads for this week.

Sorry for whoever chose this but I really hated this one. Just sounded to me like the generic music of these days that I can't stand. I might try to play it again to get 100% as it's not really difficult.

Fun song! Black keys usually aren't the most difficult songs but still fun to play!

My favourite this week. Great song with a nice intro and some great all round guitar work.

I'm not really into the modern Metallica, for me the two favorite albums are Kill'em all and Ride the Lightning. However, this was still quite fun to play! the slide sections were where I struggled the most.

Oh, if this is sightreads scores, you're at a very advanced level. I'm unlikely to be able to achieve such results, but I will watch your competition with Luzifer and Cacahuate with interest. 😉

nice (7-7.5)

 

 

 

rhy (7)

 

 

 

bass (6.5)

very sloppy

 

 

 

If the whole thing was like the start my hand would fall off lol.

First time hearing this, it's ok I guess.

ahh my beloved Blind!! as usual my terrible sightreading (the first was the submit long time ago, forgot everything) 🤣 but I want to get this to 97+

I think some rhythm parts are not so easy (quite fast) but rocksmith is very generous on these.

@ Mikson  @ Zoutje  Blind Guardian are underrated, they have always good (dual guitar) lead and acoustic sections, always fun to play

 

Uuh Metallica, with new songs. I also more on the old Metallica, but hey I never refuse anything from them. 😀

I don't think it's way more difficult than Blind, it's right there for me

Had to give this one a go. I'm temped to check out more songs from them now 👀

Last two days I spent a lot of hours adding suggestions from my personally collected CDLC to the spreadsheet. I went through my entire list of songs from Z to A. I  ended up adding nearly 100 hand-picked songs. I added mostly 80s stuff as that is by far my favorite time period, however, I also have included some newer songs. I rated both Lead and Rhythm but I haven't rated bass yet. I don't play bass so I find it difficult to judge, but I will try to fill in the bass difficulty as well.  If anyone disagrees with any of the bass difficulties of course feel free to adjust/add a note. I made sure all songs have DD enabled and that they all contain Lead, Rhythm, and of course bass as a path. This was quite an effort, but I want to contribute to this awesome community! Hope you enjoy it. 

sight readings

I was actually considering putting this song in the recommendation a while back but didnt, so it was a nice surprise to see it! ** i know it says 1 play but thats cause i did new profile start of this year
 
i like short songs 

This ones cool. Not sure ill be able to get to luzifers score mikson cause im awful with bends but ill practice/ try to or atleast get 95% 



Tbh i think this one is more doable for me since theres less bends.

´tallica

Blind Guardian are distracting me from the Metallica mc song, but hey I can't resist
