Ratings for Advance Lead and Rhythm have been changed.

@ Rodman  For any eof help i strongly reccomend using discord as theres more experienced eof users there who usually respond fast :P left the link just incase you havent joined already.

very interesting point you made, I even went back on some of my previous works to see if you were right about names. Apparently handshapes in r2014 don't have names. i guess i was getting confused with r+ or just rememberd the chord names from eof (cause they do appear in eof just not ingame).

In discord i went through messages and saw that hammeron mentioned you have to have atleast 2 non ghost notes for the chord name to appear ( i still wasnt getting the name so dunno).

the most handshapes will do is just outline the finger position of the chord  (which is still helpfull imo, just a bit  of a shame the name doesnt appear ingame)
and that is achieved by clicking first note in the arp run hold shift select last note then ctrl shif h and it should turn blue

Second pic was to see if ghost notes at begining would help give a name but it doesnt (so i would probably just do the first option as its less time consuming and lets the user know he wont be fretting the yellow string.. but its a preference thing...ghost notes might be usefull for like c shapes maybe that dont strum all the notes but is clearly a c shape)

arpeggio mode (green) does give the name buuut not many people use it cause it creates a line under notes and can be more confusing than helpfull especially when the chord has open notes.
so i would stick with handshapes...or just  leave it how it was 

lead is also great to play

Thx m8, yeah... but i know it is possible cause i did in the past.

The arpeggio view... not my kind of beer. Way overdone.
The way i know it works is do it manually - Press (shift) n on each first Note of a chordchange and name it, just don´t say yes to do it for any note of that kind or all will be full. Would take 10mins or so, maybe i´ll go for it

 

Handshapes, absolutely... thatwould go hand in hand if i could do it propperly, else i´ll maybe also do those manually.

 

Thx!!!!

Hey Chartingfriends - i need your help.

What´s the easiest way to have a normal Chordname shown for a sequence of notes like those:

(in that case Fm). I already knew how to do it, but all i tried yesterday ended up in a mess.
I´d prefer just a normal Chord Display over that Arpeggioview.

Help!

Rod.

Can't remember exactly as i'm a newbie at charting myself But i'm sure you would add a handshape think its under Note-Rocksmith-Handshapes.

90

 

 

 

better

 

 

 

totally messed up the end. yeah (8.5)

 

 

 

 

I'm starting to feel like I'm the nonstandard meter police -  but here goes again.  I'm getting wiped out near the end of the  Riverside song, and as I suspected it goes to 7/16 near the end (measure 91, or 3:48 of the video bass cover).   And measure 49 (at 2:03) is 7/4. 

 

This song is killing my hand;

Well, not ready for this level...

Thank you for the week!
Just another check-in from me, I've been geeking out on a formal music education book for the last 2 weeks

I might do a couple more plays of Dragonball Durag on Bass throughout the week though 😁
 

 

 @ aNDESmASAMUNE  Thanks for creating this week, nice selection of songs!

I've played almost all the songs before.

A nice song by one of the most popular Polish singers of the young generation.

This I played some time ago, so I don't remember the chart very well.

I played a few Circa songs (interestingly, this band sometimes bans tabs of their songs available on the Internet - not cool). I feel like I played this song, but probably a different version of CDLC.

Ahh my suggestion that has been waiting for a long time to be chosen! I haven't played this in a while and had to remind myself this chart and was devastated by those final parts again. 😵‍💫 Thats why I rated this an 8. 

@ aNDESmASAMUNE  and other participants. 

The guitar path in Riverside song is in D Standard, but the same chart (with notes moved 2 frets down) is in the Alternate Lead path. Actually, I don't know why it's in D Standard, because there are no low notes on the E string, it was probably similar with the first part of this song.
In any case, I propose allowing the Alt Lead path so that you can play E Standard and setting it so that OCR accepts the scores. @ kayteck  @ avastreg

 

Rhythm is harder than the lead I believe  maybe a 7

And the lead nice song 

Thank you for this week too. There are many great songs!

 

 

First scores of the week, great song selection as always!

All this tuning and detuning is making me want to get a hard tail guitar now instead of one with a tremolo since they are too faddy. Saying that I've got a Drop Pedal which helps take alot of the issues out. So far so good I've played all the songs. I'm really enjoying the beginner song it's a banger, not a clue what the vocality is saying since I don't speak German I think but it's bang your head to tunes.

Good selection this week.

I bought a Digitech Drop last year and it is an life saviour. I can use my 09 in my floyd and my SG and still play some Drop B with ease, this pedal saved my guitar playing and my pockets, since now i can have only two guitars (one for standard and one for drop).

yea kinda jelous, should have bought the drop tuning instead i bought the ricochet whammy ( which is also cool cause it can go up and the wammy effect to glissando into notes is cool) but unfortunatley doesnt make it too reliable with tunnings cause it only does certain intervals so i still need to either retune a halfstep or use a capo.  still a cool pedal tho.

 

Catchy song, I convinced myself I could understand Polish fluently toward the end of this run.

I will get you @ AndreCardoso  ^^

So close...
