This is a theme week related to battles/war. I came up with the idea to create this because of the song Union by Sabaton, which talks about the Battle of Monte Cassino, and now it's the 80th anniversary of this battle.
For intermediate players - I rated lead path at 6, but only because of the very short solo part, which is at the advanced level. The rest of the chart is definitely easier, so you don't have to worry about it.
In addition, we have a song by Cruachan - an interesting folk metal band from Ireland. The song tells the story of the Battle of Yellow Ford, which took place in 1598. The song is in D Standard/D Drop C tuning, and since this is a beginner's song, I added the E Standard/Drop D version.
Advanced is a song by Iron Maiden, telling about the difficult fate of people who experienced war. This is a song from the first album recorded with vocalist Blaze Bayley. However, the chart is still typical of Iron Maiden.
The masterclass song is my new CDLC that I have been creating recently. Civil War is one of my favorite Guns N' Roses songs, and I wasn't completely satisfied with the previous CDLC, so I created a new one with 4 guitar and bass tracks! The song is a great composition, being an anti-war protest song. The great lyrics of the song end with the words: "What's so civil about war, anyway?" what can be said complements this theme in different way.

Have a great week!

outstanding job @ Mikson
War theme (i'm passionate about history in general, especially WWI and WWII) + Sabaton + Guns (and civil war is legendary). How could I ask for more????
I had a rough start of week due to a bit of sickness and work but I will put the time in!!!
also welcome to the new entries, I'm seeing that the average level is increasing, and that's good: more challenge more improvement for everyone!!

Need to take a look at that first block and solo in RR.  Also, got marked down on some of the chord parts (I thought I got it correct).

Rhythm scores

Bass scores

Fortunately, no one mentions that it bothers them to play this in E Standard, although this should be in B Standard like in the case of Sabaton bass paths. 😆

trying to improve! keep missing notes here and there...

thanks for e standard tunnings



the going up the scale at like 227 ish reminded me of "my girl wants to...party al the time" by eddie murphy lol brain does weird things sometimes.cause its not even right key but just the fact that its going up reminded me of it xD anyways



pretty tricky solo



liked the rhythm path the most thought it was lead for asec since it had a solo.

Thanks for adding this week too. 

I need more time to practice!

Great score! I see that you are good at bass notes in the arpeggio power chords style (I don't know what it's technically called). I'm curious how you play it, do you use fingers 1, 3 and 4 like on a guitar? Or only fingers 1 and 3 or 1 and 4? It's much harder for me to play something like this on bass than on guitar.

Lead & Rhythm improvements.

The first time this seemed more difficult to me, now I think this might be more 6.5 than 7, but since no one mentioned it, 7 is also ok. Mainly solos here are an obstacle to achieving 99%, but it is possible.

sabaton, great song

guns, ouch ouch
i have some recognition problems in the initial arpeggio, but that's the minor issue ahah
