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

 

Intermediate Bass.

Definitely challenging for me. Fast paced with lots of work for my smallest finger and big leaps up and down the fretboard.  I almost didn't bother but I read somewhere "if you can play it slow you can pay it fast" so I started at 75% working up to 85% then finished off with an attempt at 100% and I'm very happy with progress today.

Rhythm sightreads

 

Fun little song, very peppy:

I have never understood the appeal of Rammstein...this one is at least an interesting chart. Closer to a 6 difficulty IMO:

Some note recognition issues as I felt like I played it perfectly:

One of my favorites from A7X and a lot of fun to play...watch out for that outro, the audio fade lulls you into relaxing:

Thanks for another great week!!

I've never heard this specific song from Rammstein but I love it and it was super fun to play. I would agree with the 5 difficulty

I had to give Advanced a try, there's no way I'm skipping some Gojira!!! I think this is correct 6 difficulty too.

 

 

 

 

upbeaty song nice voices! 
Thought it might be a paramore situation where they had other songs  less pop-y upbeat/ harmonies but nope seems like thats their style lol.

 
cool to see some rammstein
riff reminded me of an islands by chevelle 


Rodman Luzifers and razrshreds score had me struggling alot!!



Nice to see a7x!! even if i havent liked anything theyve made past 2007 glad to know people listen to their newer stuff.
i think this could be placed in a lower bass class. outro kind of took me off guard like lots others but i dont think its masterclass hard.

Nice chart, I think this is little more than 4.

You only need one string to play this on all paths, quite fun.

Unfortunately, the song I like least this week and there is no interesting chart for me, it's in all paths in my competing classes xd

And this is definitely the best bass chart this week. A7X is a really nice band, although I don't know their discography well. This is fine for a masterclass.

A7x remains one of my favorite band post 2000. I missed the Gojira/djent train

@ Rodman @ kayteck

What happened to the sheet used to automatically add scores?

Something has been changed there and it doesn't work as it should, there are no hints like before and you have to enter everything manually... 🤔

yay don't really have the time or the energy for the solo unfortunately, so red cross 😱 I don't know if I can get higher without the solo, the rest aren't big misses

we are testing the new prototype of automatic score recognition (remember the OCR idea??). All the scores you see in the sheet were entered with that! We have planned to support also the classic manual entering. I'll leave more details to @ Rodman

I'm not very good at lead as i'm a total beginner on guitar. 

a little bit offtopic...but since you guys are  kind of active, anyone reccomend some songs that are on cf for valentines day?
ig to make it relevant to this..will next week be valentines themed or is that too corny? happy either ways tbh

Improvements

Great song, the first In Flames. I remember when I was 16 and I brought to my teacher December Flower from the same album to teach me how to play it!
Anyway the In Flames period I prefer at all is Clayman album (2000), both powerful and more melodic than the first ones.

 probably my final score but I think something more is achievable

Wow. I didn't think I could do this.

without a red cross

and over 94 (with the return of the red cross 😛 )

 

New week incoming in the next minutes 

i could of probably got 100% but the scrapes and bends weren't playing nice
