Apologies for the bunched up difficulties in bass...just turned out that way with the rng.

Also note that "Two Tickets to Paradise" was a tough one to rate for bass. @ Zoutje  had rated it a 5 but that's definitely too low. It doesn't have any one particularly difficult section but having to play little chord progressions throughout the song made it challenging for me to keep a combo going. I settled on a 6 but YMMV. Contrast with "Tell the World" which is 2/3 relatively easy strumming but has an Advanced level solo section.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.

Thats a @ Mikson  win on advanced Bass. I will stay Intermediate for now  thanks . @ jellisjenius

Hi @ jellisjenius , I think @ Razrshred  beat me last minute on lead mc, maybe it wasn't scraped
I don't know about other scores and classes

How did you select songs using RNG? The higher difficulty rating in the beginner bass class suggests that you started with lead and adjusted rest paths, but on the other hand, why is there a song with difficulty 6 in lead path in the intermediate class? 🤔

OP updated to correct Lead and Rhy MC winner to @ Razrshred

@ Mikson , it would be too difficult to explain in a post how I ended up with this combination of songs. Suffice it to say that I started with rng giving me Anthem of the Angels, Two Tickets to Paradise, and A Farewell to Kings...then realized I needed an Adv Rhy song so chose Tell the World, and then needed MC Rhy so chose Dystopia. So I started with Lead-focused rng then switched to Rhythm selections and ended up with a narrow difficulty range on Bass. I was going to sub in a bass-only track on beginner but given Rodman's view on such things I didn't want to cause a controversy. 

Anyway, all of the bass charts are solid IMO. 

 

Hey guys! Hello from a random corner in the Asia-Pacific! 🤟🎶🎸

It's an honor to join this week as well! 

 

One question:

I remember I read somewhere now you have an automatic system for reading scores. As you see I play my game in Spanish, but does it have to be in English in order to be read automatically??? I like it in Spanish, but I will change it for sure if that means less work for the organizers! 

Nice songs this week!

Breaking Benjamin is probably the first band that I discovered (a bit by accident) a very long time ago, so I still have a lot of sentiment for them, especially for old albums. The problem with Rocksmith is that their songs are often played in very low tuning (C Drop Db), which makes it difficult to play on regular strings.

I listened to and liked this song many times while playing GTA San Andreas years ago and forgot about it and now it's back!
The diff level is undoubtedly 6, solo it can be even 6.5.

Here is an old screenshot from earlier tests. A challenging song for advanced players.

Nice song, but the beginning parts arpeggios are unplayable for me.

English works better for OCR, yeah 😉

Tried it on bass first for a warmup.

Gui.

Wish I wasn't getting these random misses during the intro, other than that pretty nice song.

nice (3).

 

the tuning will give beg players adventures

 

GoG of course

 

 

 

nice easy start in my new rhy class (7.5-9) i´d say

 

 

 

(7.5) is too low, the end is a clear (8)

 

 

 

damn cool, damn hard (7.5), yeah - solo sooo on the edge of (8)

Generally yes but don't worry I've already handled Spanish so you can keep it!!

Way too long without playing, trying to get back for week 500!!
