Sunday update: I've added the winners - congrats! Good score battle on Lady Madonna. @ lowender  I'm curious on what your setup is as this is not the first time you've won by a good margin on score. I'm playing on a Steam Deck (lol) with the RT cable and a bit of input lag. Don't know if that explains why for some songs I seem to hit an invisible ceiling on score, but frankly it's a miracle I got RS to work with CDLC at all, so I won't complain too much.

Stormy Monday was hard to rate difficulty...to me having that slow tempo significantly lowers the difficulty but even with that, the guitar parts are challenging. 

 

Scores from testing...

A good beginner song that's pleasant to play:

 

I love TI basslines...that said, I always seem to miss a note here or there on this one:

Lovely blues bassline:

 

I'm not sure what happened here, the first time I tested it I got 97%. It's more Int-level after a very difficult opening riff:

I could work on all of them - The allman brothers one would probably be the best but it's so long and varies quite a bit so I'm not sure what I'm doing this week


I'm not sure why the Tame Impala song is in D Standard I think this song could easily be played in E Standard too

Love this song and its a blast to play, Good choice!

absolutely lovely! we don´t have the blues nearly often enough here (7.5), yeah!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a bit harder than lead, i´d say (8)

 

 

 

bass

 

 

 

is this a cover of an old song? reminds me of one in beatles era ish dont know the name though

wanted to see if i could play it without looking/ master mode. there was more ear candy parts than i rememberd. solid begginers path imo


yea i need for practice with barred c shaped chords

didnt enjoy the lead path as much as the other 2

Enjoyed this more than the lead

main riff was kinda tricky for me lol. but yea i think its a good challening song for int.

tempo change caught me off guard. 

aaw... i was kinda hoping the song would be the difficulty of the first riff lol. lost a note after and then gained 350+ notestreak so i think its an easy 1150+ note streak. just the intro that is kinda tough cause i think it fluctuates in tempo but i might be wrong.

mini +

 

 

 

Got a few random misses in the straight 8th (or 16th idk) note riffs, rip.

Oh yea this is pretty nice, I'll have to try the bass later.

my only entries as no time for training as i am gone for the rest of the week

@ jellisjenius  i'm playing on an old HP laptop running windows 10 , a real tone cable and my ibanez BTB 670 bass. I don't get any lag and i don't know why as I haven't done anything special.

found few more minutes to give another try on this magnificent song.. what a flow.. only these arpeggios..

close score battle there indeed...

few missed in the beginning...

What a fun tune! Really like the variation with songs, wouldn't have discovered this song if it wasn't for the competition. It was difficult though, hardest advanced song since I joined here. But I want to improve on it:)

Btw, what does the * and ^ mean after the difficulty numbers? Also, seems like I'm running out of space to submit songs on here? My "max total size" on this forum is low, I have to lower the quality of my submitted pics
