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

 

With a pinch of improvisation here's the new week!
As usual I combined the randomness with the completeness of tracks in paths (to have fewer songs), the quality and the presence of different music styles and selectors, not giving everything to get difficult songs for every path. 

So it's a pretty easy week (and an unfortunate mix of tunings, sorry) but if you do 100% with a breeze, you can always try the song on the next level!

As always, we can change on course anything doesn't work (errors, songs, missing scores..)

Some notes:

• Some tones are unbalanced inside the songs but nothing major
• Rammstein has roughly the same lead and rhythm, and not so challenging for intermediate (a good riff anyway), so I thought it was a good thing to put a different more challenging rhythm, and I choose the one from the Avenged Sevenfold (=A7x). My other selection was Scumbag by Green Day, also pretty easy.
• The A7x "Coming Home" rhythm and Gojira rhythm have the same rating, but I think that Gojira is less classic in the playing style so I preferred to keep it on the advanced rhythm. Also, curiously, Gojira was selected by two people (!)
• The A7x has a good and I think equally difficult alternate track. I think that's also more funny to play, but I want to hear from you if a switch between the tracks it's worth it
• Fascination has the no-guitar and the no-bass track, and it's a blessing when there is one because as you know it's really only you playing the instrument when you don't have the track under
• Moonshield came to rescue for MC rhythm, so guitar MC has a pretty challenging week if you combine the two tracks. I don't know if you bassist prefer to have something more challenging on MC, please let me know!

Oh

A7x and Gojira... 2 of my fav bands, and there is Rammstein too... 

What a week!

Rock

 

First run-through for lead. I like to see that Rhythm is a different track than lead this week.

 

First time ever hearing or playing these songs, the ending in coming home snuck up on me haha, will have to try them again!

lead beg (3.5-4)

 

 

 

ahhh ... nice to play (4)

 

 

 

adv... oh yes, Gojira!

 

 

 

yay, both (6), rhy a tad harder

 

 

 

yay A7X.. unknown song for me, classic songwriting for them, necer ever boring - so cool (7.5)

 

 

 

who could not love the Gojir? (6)

 

 

 

better

 

 

 

nice, nice (8)

 

 

 

that line is also a blast to play (8)

 

 

 

that could already be a competing score, lead +

 

 

 

and rhy +

 

 

 

2Mio, 98, that´s ok. relaxing song

 

 

 

From testing:

Gojira for fun


Not a huge fan of a7x.

chonked the intro pretty badly again.

My first efforts for this week! I've never heard these songs before but they were fun to play. Hopefully I'll be able to post better scores later in the week.

Lead

There's no way I can compete here. Even if I play it right, I'll lose a few % through recognition.

@ avastreg I think lead and alternate lead are on the same difficulty level. Perhaps the alternative has a slightly more difficult solo. I think this selection is good.

I have a lot of scores from testing that I need to collect and upload 😉

In the meantime I did another run of Moonshield. Maybe 8 is too much, but that was the original rating. Anyway I always loved this song (but I chose it not by the liking, but because it was one of the few with a MC rhythm rating and an adv lead, so suitable for this case)

Beginner Bass

 

this is like iron maiden lol
