After playing this a few times, I think this may be more of a 6.5 than a 7 diff, as confirmed by the high scores this week, although I have no chance of getting anywhere near 99%.

@ cacahuate51  @ BubbleWrapDragon  Do you think this is 6.5 or 7? I don't want to change the difficulty rating at the end of the week unless you agree with me.

Well it's hard to say because there are so many ways to look at it. 

When looking at Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Cornflake (6.5) It only has 2 riffs to learn and the RS recognition is working well enough so one has to play accurate, it will be easier to get 100% on this one, also no fast bends and quick neck movement

Thunder Storm has like 7-8 riffs where a couple are definitely harder but they are so fast that RS is quite generous with the recognition (My 98% score was quite sloppy on the fast part but RS kept saying it's good) But also some slides and other notes RS doesn't pick up even if played well enough so it'd be quite hard to get to 100% 

So it's easier to get a score of 95%+ but really hard to get 100% (Also I was trying for 2 hours yesterday to improve my score and I'm just keep getting between 94 and 97%)

The last 7 Song (KANA-BOON silhouette is easier to learn but because of all the slides involved everyone will have a worse score)
If one had to learn a song for a performance Thunder Storm is way harder to master than most of the recent advanced songs

With all these factors, and there are plenty more things we could consider, it's rather impossible to say which difficulty almost any song really should have and maybe only setting up some kind of guideline for RSC difficulty rating would help to sort this out (Like how languages proficiency levels have guidelines to help grade a student)


To summarize: I don't know if it should be a 6.5 or 7 😂

 

nice one... i had some awkward recognition issues though with open E and I believe i could get better here. 

 

this one is so cool to play... (just one quite boring part in the middle of the song)... i got a score of 99,5% at the end but guess what... I was so exited about it that I forgot to take a screenshot... and have no more time to try again :(.

and no way to play the last riff slide properly... missed whatever way I play it...

 

I agree with alot of what bubbledragon said
For the most part this tab seems like it does a good job at efficient playing \ theres not that many weird positions that i tend to find in some cdlcs. Making it overall a smoother experience.
I cant really recall any 7s tbh  i thought maybe antonio banderas song was one (waaay harder) but apparantley it was a 7.5 and an 8.
anything with slides or bends will always make it harder to get 100 i think..as i feel like rs doesnt detect it always or as good as standard notes.
i do personally think it might be a tad bit on the easier side...since some parts are pretty simple like intro and outro
but since i can't get a better score and the song is varied enough i dont mind it staying as a 7
