Yes, it's the same chart, but the normal bass has no dynamic difficulty, and the alternative bass does, hence the purple bars. For the championship, regular is enough because we play at 100% difficulty anyway, so we don't need dynamic difficulty.

I have DD turned off anyway so everything is always max difficulty. If it's the same chart why didn't my score count?

Scores are currently added automatically by OCR and this is set to recognize normal bass. But since it's the same chart, I added your 91% score manually.

First scores lead

Not a fan but good to play for beginners.

Nice chart, I was surprised that I achieved 99% here.

I discovered this band about a year ago and played a few of their charts on Rocksmith - they are usually very difficult and incredibly fast, luckily this one is perfect for me to play. And when I read that this was an Italian band, I thought that @ avastreg  probably knew them, I was not wrong 😉 

Fun to play too, if I hadn't lost a lot on the tapping part I would have had a better score.

Rhythm

I like the opening riff and chorus riff in this song. A song from the first album after the change vocalist, the album received mixed reviews (old fans rather hated it), but this song is one of my favorites from this release.

worse score, higher accuracy

Trying to learn to hybrid pick the harmonics up to speed, it just makes more sense to me that way

I just noticed by playing A new Saga Begins on Lead very slowly that the harmonics part are different notes compared to the chart
I think it should be this
[harm.]
e============7=====
B=12======7========
G===12==========7==
D=====12===========
A==================
E==================

Also compared to the charted one I'd pick this regularly

But now I'm not sure if I want to keep playing the song in Rocksmith if that part is wrong 😭

+ bass

 

 

 

good one, a bit sloppy in the beginning, then good

 

 

 

+ lead

Small improvement

A little better, but still - a long ways to go. Putting this one away and moving on to int lead.

+ rhy

 

 

 

oh yes, the 90s

 

 

 

how can i not play this when Helloween is up. pure fun!

 

 

 

and that

 

 

 

Getting better!! 🤩

Bass

 

Guitar improvements

I don't know if I can achieve more with this tuning and recognition problems. And the pitch shifter doesn't work for this CDLC...
