Hope you are all enjoying summer!

Since this site is filled with musicians thought it would be neat to have a selection of songs that have been made by them.
The idea came after playing snowshovels + djpavs cdlcs from their own bands 🙂 I asked around discord and messaged some creators to fill in the gaps and i appreciate all of the people who helped me out/ responded!

After looking around and testing cdlcs, theres tons of producers/artists on here that have their songs made into cdlc so I couldnt add them all for this week. I'll mention the ones i found incase anyone is interested to try new things out and feel share to let me know if i missed someone to add to the list! 

Alex pe - @ alexpe99
Alkehol - @ popcorncz2  (actually now that im editting this not sure if its his band or just a fan)
Bash Explode - @ bashexplode
Dell /emmy -(says they have a song with 6 strings and might release?)
Depraved - (played gigs with @ VDFANOU )
E.E.V.I.E ( @ rachel826  s band) - 
Ectronic-  (cool synthwave) - @ Ectr0nic
Firekorn (featured in previous championship weeks) - @ firekorn
Fishbone - Fripponomics friends 
KyleAbent - @ KyleAbent
l0rd kha0s - @ l0rd kha0s
LMBECIL-  (music in spanish)- @ LMBECIL1832
Ninos Con Bombas- Fripponomics friends (Mentioned by Rodman in comments)
Prince Whatever - not sure if he does use this site but there is lots of tabs of his on this site and the advanced class features him so maybe.
Sway in the Garden - @ mrfookybear
The Human Extinction -  No cdlc yet ? Stephenshred streamer (Mentioned by Hikikomori)
RaiderG-@ RaiderG (has an accordion song that is memeable)
Retrokr1ss- @ Retrokr1ss
Rodman And Milo - No cdlc yet.
SpArTon / Fripples / Krakatit /  - @ fripponomic (featured in previous championship weeks just now remembered after making week and corrected by Rodman)
Wilfox streamer - (mentioned by Hikikomori)

I've added them on spotify in case someone just wants to skip around and possibly find something they enjoy.

--

I'll also mention the participants here who have done covers in the past (week 590 to present 611 so 21 weeks!) cause we are all on this journey together/ good to share music. And maybe in the future theyll make cdlc of their own work 🙂 :
Andre
Drand
Johnal
Mikson - week597 space oddity  (cant believe its been 3 months! time flies)
Robolechuga -
Rodman / Rodman And Izz

(I do think more people participated and i missed them out. Not intentionally, let me know and ill add them)
--
also if for some reason you dont want to be on the list also let me know.

If you have the standard version of the game you can also play Don't Stop by Crimson.  She was a twitch streamer before and managed to get her song in the game.  If you like paramore I think you'll enjoy the song.


I can't confirm if upon infliction actually uses this site, but its the hardest song i could find (i was running out of time/ its getting late) 

The bonus lead masterclass song seems like its in Drop G  so make sure to use a drop pedal  if you have one. Mine broke so i couldnt test it but the song and the other one he has on the site sound good to me. Reminds me of beried alive mixed with DOOM / Loop Hero  (Video Game Music) 

No idea how to rate kentucky fried rats since its so short and only 2 sections but i enjoyed it alot (biased cause i like kfc,rats, chromatic riffs lol) .

I might change my own ratings later since i tested songs different days so i havent played them all in a row yet. As always let me know your own ratings to balance it out.

Hope yall enjoy the week.

What a nice idea!!!!
 

@ fripponomic  is not a member of fishbone. Fishbone and Ninos con Bombas are his friends - he has songs of his 2 great great bands up here - KRAKATIT 

https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/15682 and actually SPARTON https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/80063 for example and his solowork where i would like to point out his Blues stuff like https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/27618   Argh...... one fat stab to the heart that list also is for me - many years ago @ Milo  and me wrote a song but never managed to record it propperly... so the CDLC is still unreleased. Let´s see if i can bring that baby to life now i should be able to play it and can do some mixing. Moving up up on the to-do list.

 

Hah... catching the boys on my last try on Lordi feels good 😉 Let´s see what PrinceWhateverer and the SnowShovelKnight are up to.

heyooo i wont be able to participate for a bit i think the next 2 weeks, visiting family, no audio interface there =/

also the site is mad at me for trying to upload more than 350.26kb and adding an imgur image link just results in no image embedded so heres the imgur album?

Hey no problem, It's always good to spend time with family, thanks for letting us know! Maybe this will give me time to gitgud lol jk but hope to see you soon 🙂 

Ah yeah, sounds like you must've reached the upload limit on cf, so its good that you are now using imgur instead. I believe @ drand  taught me the following:
make sure the links you post have the ending of .jpeg or .png for it to work,
copy paste the address link of each individual image.
A bit tedious but if done right you will be able to see the image in the comment space before posting.  

@ cacahuate51

I achieved the best score among the participants of rhythm masterclass. I think that according to the rules this time I will take the win and level up to masterclass.

Recently, not many people have been competing in the masterclass unfortunately, a few really good guitarists have disappeared from the championships so I will try, and in the advanced I will give others a chance, with the reservation that I may want to come back at some point when the masterclass turns out to be too difficult 😉

Welcome to the real world, Neo!

OH Big One!!!

What a cool tune - clear songwriting, stuffed with all the guitar player wants and more, even a bit overdone, twohanded tapping and all - i love it. and sweet growly vocals - yes Sir! @ SnowShovel  - this is how to roll! I bow my head ... and start to bang!

 

 

 

 

way better

 

 

 

whooo - not easy!! (8)

Right?! I thought the same when I played his tracks, I sent him a message a couple of days ago but no luck (he hasnt seent he message/opened it yet) 😞

a bit better. That one would be a (6) emulated bass on guitar, but fingered on bass straight (8)

Great theme idea @ cacahuate51  ! thanks! 🙂 

Great theme for this week!







The bass solo really surprised me, extremely fun too

Gave them all another go in a row since i hadnt played them back to back





Yea honestly not sure which one is harder cause the solo is quite challengin even though the rest of the song is pretty simple. hmhmhm 

quite hard to get this extra 1% especially because im not really into playing metal lmaokkkdfkhj

also thank you! i figured out how to get it properly formatted here are my previous results

Improvements:
