@ Mikson  well i gave it a go even though its past thursday by now. As i mentioned before due to mixing and other reasons (im a noob) its  abit hard for me to distenguish notes.

After watching a couple of live videoes they play the song transposed -2 semitones in concerts (probably so that the singer can reach the notes)  just fun lil fact.

One of the comments mentioned that fear of a blankplanet (porcupine tree) and this one are one of his go tos, and yeah funnily enough i like both songs aswell. So I ended up using the dist from it cause it sounded similar to my ears/decent. I thought we had played it in the championship? guess not yet.

The lead path is basically the same as the rhythm path just with the cure ish solo/ guitar line towards the end 

Probably needs some tweaking in the arps but thats the best i could do for now lol

I also changed the ID so it shouldnt affect having the other file aswe;;.

Oh and after tabbing it i realized why i though the last part sounded like it shouldve been another song, cause its in another slower tempo and triplets.. so yeah couldve been another one but i guess since its kinda similar notes thats why they kept it.

I'm having the opposite problem 🤣

98.55 %, 97.55 %, 98.44 % . So I better stop it  🤣

ah yes, that happens to me aswell but i dont post those screenshots when it does happen hehe

I like The Mars Volta, but I can't play well.

 

Why can everyone get such a high score? I can't get more score.

I haven't heard of anyone having any problems with this.  @ Hameron as the author of CDLC might see what's going on? 🤔

Thanks for making another week! I'm a bit tired, so I gave them all just one try:

Missing Lead

Nice song from Genesis, the chart is not very difficult, but quite diverse, maybe I rated it a bit too high. I've played this a few times already so I had a chance to improve but I'm waiting for @ cacahuate51 to level up to masterclass because I have no chance to compete with him 🫣 😆

Rhythm improvement

It's good that I managed to achieve over 90% but I don't think I would be able to improve it much...

Does this link work?

I guess also make sure you don't have both the v1.0 and v1.1 files in your DLC folder.

 

I improved.

RS just can't let me to get closer to 100%. "Ogh Vodka you finally pass through all the slides and ready to chords part? Not on my watch! See this easy bend? Forget it you will never take it! Oh no! Not enough notes you have missed. I didn't see you took that single note here. And this chord. Ha-ha! Pathetic little human!!!"

98.67% is great! Maybe your slides are perfect !

I think that happens when you have a cdlc with a  p(1).psarc or p(x).psarc aka you downloaded two or more of the same cdlc in the folder.  Cause atleast for me it appears in game just fine. I would also try just removing all cdlc and only having that cdlc in the folder to see if it still doesnt appear.

Pppffft you tend to say that when we are just singlle digits apart lol. You are just 2 % and are more than capable of reaching past me 😛 Just rr sections you tend to miss more notes, work smarter not harder (aka playing the whole song alot of times) 

Also I have no desire to shred so i think you're gonna be stuck with me for a while.  And you'll have to be carefull with other competitors such as @ Satinuke  or @ drand  . 
@ AndreCardoso  had mentioned earlier he was getting 98s so i wonder why he didnt post that, or maybe he was refering to songs in bass.
 

 

Been a really busy week and putting all my efforts into something outside my guitar practise but still had time to give it a go. That Genesis (Sorry, I mean "Mega Drive"), is pretty good, the intro, ending and bits inbetween it's really happy and positive then it goes on a tangent for a bit, it was really nice to listen to and play along to but couldn't get up to 90% only got to 89.9% once. The rest were shy of 89%

Thanks for the work! I played it and it looks and sounds good. The only thing that could be improved is the tone in the chorus/arpeggios, it sounds too distorted to me.

Improvements

I played later but my score was worse, so this is my top.

I managed to finally catch it, although the sound wasn't good in many places.

Very pushed for time this week, including today, so I'm afraid I can't go into much detail which is a shame as I actually like all of these songs and would've liked to put more time in than I could. Such is life eh?

Best of luck all!
