- @Chaoszerg denies his promotion to Advanced class in Bass path for too much time in vacation and overall weakness 😉 .

Classless, Fearless FreeBird Members in their endless battle with the fb police: 2groggy

 

Not sure if I can make much more progress with this, the grading is tough on this one.

Got some work to do!

Of Wolf and Man - although in Georgia, it's Of Skeeter and Man

 

slight improvement

hi

Rhythm time

Too many stupid mistakes, need to improve.

Another crazy Japanese chart. Fortunately, this one is possible to keep up with.

Improvement, good attempt!

I like the posts about kids playing Rocksmith.  The Audrey & Kate videos are a lot of fun, for example:

Yea i believe they are the most famous kids that uploaded rocksmith content consistently \m\ alot of respect. According to their fb page they are now 20 and 15 kinda crazy how time flies. I wonder if they ever participated in the championship since it seems like they do cdlc content aswell? maybe rodman would know

Very beautiful song!

 

It's very busy week for me...

I noticed another small technical glitch in the scoring.  My recent posting of the Zero 7 song on lead guitar should be 92.92, but shows up as 92.95 on the leaderboard.   This time it's unearned credit for me, but only 0.03

By the way, is OpenCV used for the optical character recognition?  I had worked with OpenCV for a medical imaging app project ten years ago, still interested in how these kinds of things are implemented.. 

First scores for this week!! 🤩

I've been really busy again this week and not had much time to play. Its frustrating as I love playing but next week i'll have more time!

Called this one also - Way to go @ cacahuate51   - I will have to make a few attempts this evening to squeeze a few more notes out in the solo.

Really hard week this week.

I picked up bass quite late, but in my opinion, unfortunately, the ratings for two songs are wrong.

This is ok, 4 yes.

Ok here's the first one. I haven't been following this week closely, but did anyone notice that it was too difficult for a 5 rating? The chart has some really fast licks, including one on the high frets, definitely 6 for me.

And here is the opposite situation. Rating 7, which is the maximum for an advanced level with a really not difficult chart. While playing this, I thought there would be a difficult section, but no. The entire chart was repeatable, quite comfortable to play, even if not very fast. I see in the spreadsheet that @ aNDESmASAMUNE rated it 7.5, why? 😲 @ Rodman  lowered the rating a bit, but I think this is max 6 or even 5.5 because I think this is easier than Green Day song.
A look at the leaderboard confirms my belief. A few 100% scores, a few 99+, this may result in several undeserved levels up to masterclass...

8, totally agree. A bit crazy but funny chart.

Hey man, you caught me in a bad moment... I apologize for the unacceptable and intolerable mistake of getting a rating wrong...

This was one of the first songs I added when I was just getting started... and in "Da Rules" it said (it still says) :

>Bass: Beg 1-4, Int 5-6, Adv 7-8, Mc 8-9, Gog 10 (updated May 2021)

So I was confused for a while until someone told me this doesn't apply anymore. 

By the way, I always have doubts rating songs, so I proposed in the past creating a thread to discuss ratings when you add a song to the SSL, but didn't get much support...

If I get ratings so wrong, I guess I shouldn't be hosting weeks anymore... I am not here to get scolded.
