Sorry for not announcing last week's winners. Many scores are missing in the leaderboard due to some recognition errors, and I don't have the energy to enter it all right now. If someone could do it that would be great, if not I will do it tomorrow.
We have a lot of fun to play songs this week, plus a GoG and GoB challenge, so have a good week!

I entered all the scores by hand, the leaderboard should be up to date now.

Thanks, so I'll update the winner list in a moment.

I haven't played bass for awhile.





PAIN

I also tried GoB, but that only resulted in cramps half way through.

I have used Postimage to test for last week and looks like it worked 😉

quite easy to use too, i think (not as easy as myimgur though).
just remember to select direct image links when copying the links for the post.

I may try some other service later, but postimage was the 1st one I got on google 😉 and didn't really had time to look for alternative.

 

after some RR already close

 

 

 

picr.de - absolutely free and add free - yes it´s in german, but hey - click the orange banner, select file(s) and you get directly urls for forum screenshots.

if you create an account your pics stay for good there

oh yes, we did it

 

one of my top 3 fav soft pop songs of all time together with baby one more time from Britney and sensational Thunder from East17, just undeniably great songs even for the metalhead

So I assume you got a maximum of 60%+ on your first attempt and yet you rated this a 5 in song selection list 🙂 I raised the rating slightly to 5.5 but I'm still not sure if this is too difficult for intermediate players. I expect rather lower accuracy scores, but it's certainly a great chart for practicing arpeggios, which are quite repetitive here (which is why I decided to leave it in this class).

yeah man... luckywise i can absolutely seperate a chart from my playing. . . . and i really am useless on sightreading arpeggios - it´s not fast, it´s  3 common chords on the arp. and it´s not a hard pattern, absolutely int, i go with 5-5.5 (though it´s a clear 7 for lamy me there).

I never use your score for diff ratings! It tends to betray you! Trust your eyes.

Great week!

Rod

bad recognition i got on those fast 15th fret runs. Cool song. will do better

 

 

 

Info. I changed difficulty rating for the song Pulp - Common People to 2.5 for Lead and 3 for Rhythm. Earlier, I only briefly checked this and added the grades from the selection list, which were repeated twice, but in my opinion they were a bit too low, especially for Rhythm.

@ gspot  Last week you achieved the highest scores in the intermediate class (Lead & Rhythm), even though you are competing in the beginner class. Do you want to continue competing in the beginner class for now or try a higher class?

Yes, I'm ready to try intermediate - thanks!

Lets try again In the correct week 🤣

Now to play the correct BSB Song

 

So hard this had to slow It down.  I would give this a 6 at the least I suck 

Better on the rhythm 

Here are my first results:

 

Had some trouble importing a few songs (my PC has had some issues but some songs always end up corrupted). Fortunately the new song from Pearl Jam imported Ok 🙂

Hadn't heard from East 17 in more than 20 years. Really liked the piano from the songs.

MC Lead Score


YT Playthrough

 

Its not just me right, Common People gets quicker and quicker towards the end of the song??
