@ Rodman  I strongly suggest using Dell's version (either his or Hettmar's in the Alt Bass path) for A Lifetime of War bass path.

Yes, of course!

Player XP Level and 10-week leaderboards updated.

What determines if a Player ends up being in the Lead, Rhythm, or Bass category for the XP level?

Hopefully i can get it a bit better later this week. Fun song to play!

muse and sabaton???
I can't miss this week, even if I have only two evenings for playing!!

 

getting some phantom misses on this bass chart!

my first score for this week!!!

Trying intermediate since it was lower rated, and I was too lazy to retune my guitar. When I first heard this, I was like man whoever wrote this totally copied Runescape. Low and behold! It was actually fun to play with the string crossings/alternate picking, something I'm very bad at. I see you fellow Runescape fan. That game had a grip on my middle school experience. Now I just watch people play on youtube every now and then so I can spend my freetime practicing guitar instead of grinding 😛 

Beginner lead and rhythm scores first scores of the week.

Lead scores

Nice chart, but those custom tones are awful!

Good song for practice.

Not my favorite Sabaton song, but ok. I agree with @ BubbleWrapDragon  that the chart is weird and uncomfortable to play in one part.

Yeah, so much fun to play!

Rhythm scores

WEEK 514 YEAAHHHH!!!! 🤟🎸🎶  Excited to join again the World Wide Championship! 🌏🎶🎸

Thanks @ Rodman  for another great week!

 

It is the second time I have been promoted to masterclass in bass, so I will accept the challenge!!!

I will enjoy the flavor of last week's win in advance bass, because I won't be able to win from now on in two or three years, I think....

Besides that, I don't feel I am in masterclass, since I suck at slapping! I barely can do level two of this:

Anyway... 

 

I am happy that my first MC Bass challenge is a Muse song, which I am a big fan of. 

I practiced for a while and was surprised to get more than 90%, even though the excecution was a bit mediocre... Will keep trying!!!

 

 

Nice game song! Reminds me of Zelda or something. And I just like playing arpeggios with bass. I had a classic guitar teacher loooong time ago, so I like playing arpeggios with three fingers in the right hand, even in bass. This is not so difficult but the arpeggios in the high frets are a bit of a challenge. 

 

very cool album, very hard parts also, i am not unhappy with 84 on that sightread with all the arpeggios, uncommon chords and the hard solo parts (8.5)

 

 

 

+ MC lead

 

 

 

had to improve on my fav there

 

 

 

CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!! YEAH!! 🌃🤟🎸🎶

I haven't played this game, but I like and enjoy playing "Wander". I feel like is kind of unlocking some memories from my childhood or something! 

Just sharing random thoughts but... I recently saw a movie called "Tar" about a very famous and authoritarian female director of the Berlin Philarmonic, who falls from grace and her tragic finale is that she ends up conducting the score for the video game series Monster Hunter in front of an audience of cosplayers in the Philippines. That is portrayed as falling low for this conductor... but I thought to myself "I think those gameplayers actually care a lot about the music!" As a child, I remember having CDs of game music (like Dragonquest) played by an orchestra.... Anyway....

 

This is not my type of music, but very fun to play! Metal from Northern Europe, yeah!!!
