It's worth adding that the alternative lead is the same chart, but with a capo on the 2nd fret and in E-Std tuning, so I think that the scores from this should count, because, for example, I prefer to put on a capo rather than tune guitar in F-Std. @ Rodman

Wtf, why do Japanese songs usually seem impossible to play for the average guitarist? 😆

i must confess.. i didnt tune to f# i used a capo instead for all the paths.

and yea japanese players are always on another lvl 😅

@ Rodman  The list of winners is a bit unusual. There are participants who won in two classes at the same time, this is probably due to the fact that these are new participants without an assigned class. This players should be assigned to specific classes because it gets messy.

Finally found time.

Winners list updated and Players put to their classes:

 

Congrats all winners and esp. @ Amisslamb44  to the instant uplevel to Adv with the 99+ win

If anyone wants to be put in another class just tell us!

 

 

I'm so sorry.  I was a new participant and couldn't read English. Next time I will try the ADV class. thanks

First scores for this week!! 🤩

First results (after replacing my vintage strings because one of them broke last week 🙂 )

I tried the next one but couldn't keep up 🙂

There is no need to be sorry. You did nothing wrong.
Getting a class promotion is an occasion to celebrate!

If you think that ADV is too much of a challenge for now, you can always appeal the promotion. Or drop down later.
Don't worry, just play & post scores.

Cant you see - Great song , this is very hard to play in rocksmith , and also really long , im not sure if its should be 7 difficulty? maybe to learn this with tabs is 7 but on rocksmith its feels like 9 to me 😄

Gypsy - great rhythm cool song , would consider this as 4 difficulty

Minor improvement, 
Even At 50% speed I still get 90 Misses on the full song in riff repeater, I have to practice the difficult parts even slower



I would love to see some Masterclass players tackle this and show that a 95%+ score is easily doable for them like they did in recent weeks

If none of the advanced players gets over 90% towards the end of the week, shouldn't that tell us it's even harder than 7 or 7.5?

Hard song , I think that after few plays you could get used to the song , but still it's fast so need to practice 

before work jam

 

First score for GOB!

Definitely could have got 99% but with the low tuning I had problems with note recognition. I'm going to try with my twin humbucker bass to see if that makes a difference. 

I might be able to get 100% on this one!

Not much time to play this week... But I went to Slash's concert yesterday, nice party! 🎸 🤘 🎉

Some Rhythm

Good song, but difficult to championship. In rhythm path, it's even easier to have random misses than in a lead. I would say this could be 7.5 and could be a masterclass.

However, the rating of 7.5 for this one is a misunderstanding. I don't know if anyone has tested this? This is 6, max 6.5, ok fast but there are no difficult chords or riffs. Unfortunately, Wednesday is too late to change songs in classes.

just gave this masterclass song a shot cause of miksons comment and i agree with his statement. this song is more doable than the current advanced song imo.

Start this week

I would give this 3.5 and I agree that this is suitable for beginners, but regardless of the player's level this is very difficult to get 99% here, unless someone has no problems recognizing bends and long slides.

It's worth adding that the alternative lead is the same chart, but with a capo on the 2nd fret and in E-Std tuning, so I think that the scores from this should count, because, for example, I prefer to put on a capo rather than tune guitar in F-Std. @ Rodman

 

Of course! Everytime we have to tune UP a capo is a valid and counting option no matter if there is an extra alternate/bonus chart or not.

For the rating... yeah 3-3.5, but as there is mainly only one riff i stuck to (3). Bend/Slide recognition issues are a true pain but don´t make the song by itself harder.

Hah! No - man, don´t be sorry! All is good. Great that you are here!

You can send scores for ANY class every week!

You actually are competing in ADVANCED CLASS for LEAD and RHYTHM if that is ok for you.

I did. See above:

"Darkness sy - hard to rate a bit... yes (6.5 - 7) is a valid rating also. From my POV the rhythm is damn fast and very hard to make sound right, i take that into account esp. in Rhy path - so i´d go (7.5) "
