Lead

Pretty cool to play, I like those synth solo parts. Good chart for beginners.

This is a song I've played many times before (more than the counter says) and I once thought about adding song to the suggestion list, but I had problem with rating difficulty. Those double stop parts are pretty tricky, as @ cacahuate51  mentioned, I agree because I struggled with them before, so I know it's not easy for intermediate players even though there's no typical solo. I think 5.5 is the most appropriate rating.

Fun song in the second half when the solo parts come in.

Whenever Judas Priest appears in the championship you can expect a good chart to play in and that is no different this time.

Whoooo man! Nice the games make you drop by!! Just been thinking about you when the games started cause i remembered that you were a big fan also from the month of Rio those years back.
Hope life is good to you!

Those octaves are killing me 

This rhythm track has more lead parts than most.  The intro and the interlude just don't work with my brain.  Struggling the past few weeks with the advanced tracks.  Gotta keep progressing, really enjoying the weekly challenges.

My fingers just don't do that solo at 100%, no matter how many loops I try, 95%, I can crush individual sections, stringing all together at tempo is just a struggle.  

hi

Hadn't heard any of these songs before. Also been dealing with a flare up of an old wrist injury on my picking hand this week so couldn't play as much as I wanted to, only managed an hour tonight but sure better than nothing.

Surprised at how much fun this was to play, not that there was too much going on guitar wise but it is genuinely just a great song.

This one on the other hand, not my cup of tea at all haha. That solo was all over the place.

The octave section is a great place to practice hybrid picking even though it was where my streak went to die, will definitely come back to use this as a warm up when I feel like being humbled by Mastodon.

Priest is Priest, hard to go wrong with them!

 

That was pretty hard and fun

 

Much better, still needs much work.  Love that section that starts with that F major sweep thing.

Here we go, major technical hiccups, from having to reinstall Mac OS getting Rocksmith up and working, still missing a few things but getting there, plus the Olympics have been on so I've been binging that. Managed to do a few of the songs. I haven't got Photoshop installed yet to shrink the images down to a reasonable size.

 

Seems a little easier than the rhythm path, gonna give this another run...
