Loved this song as a kid who listened to the oldies radio station. Think rating glitched a little, def not 100%.

Fun. One day I hope to get all those little string crossing noodle riffs down because they elude me. 

thanks for hosting and grats on your first week!
will post more scores later this week, thought i had posted these scores before but ig not



should be easy but idk still kinda hard to read imo. 



As others mentioned, the purple skyline for bryan adams is different from yours @ johnal . Maybe you played/tested an older version or one from a different creator since theres like 5 on the ignition?
 The one currently linked imo seemed more doable for begginners than the acdc one as its mostly just single notes or simple powerchords/ 5ths

Great song choices for this week, the only thing i really have is some criticism for how the charts are made,  this gary moore one, is definitely too low volume and bad scroll speed, along with note tails touching, after that,  i think it probably just need a slight re-sync and it'll be 2025 standards, i didn't really spot any wrong notes that I could hear.

ac /dc was great, i definitely want more gary moore and acdc  .  This one only had some minor issues with note lengths actually being cut short instead of held a lot of the time.  I disagree with the choice to turn the early chords into mutes, they're fine non-muted

 

Lari is great , this one suffered the most from charting issues and I doubt anyone's going to get a great score because of the mistakes in the chart that will definitely ruin the score regardless of how perfect you attempt to play it.  I wonder if this was taken from her official book/gp's or not.  I was thinking about buying her books in the future.  It also is missing leading silence as the abrupt start is definitely noticeable.  lots of fretting issues where its jumping around, so i wonder if this was just someone's gp and they didn't check cause it can be played much easier if we move to different strings.  tons of bend issues mis marked and wrong linknexts.

Ain't that the wrong AC/DC song 🤣

This one reminds me of Gimme Shelter, i could play it 1000 times and still not get those bends

@ drand  ahh ok that makes more sense 😅 A bit confused how i have the other acdc song since ive never really had the desire to learn their stuff. Owell, I marked my results invalid on react and will give the actual one a shot sometime soon, thanks!

I mean -- I would lean into that lack of desire - no reason to change for us.  Stay Strong, Don't Break.

Hi! Charter of Lari's song here, yes the charting is not a good one, i remember it being 1 of the first ones i charted and they were from someones GP but i believe i did try to tweek some parts but sadly left it raw as that. I myself play with my own amps and gear so i dont mind the charts being a bit wrong i tend to just hear it out and play by ear the rest so im lazy like that. Hope you still enjoyed the song!

I agree, the adams and ac/dc rhythm should probably be flipped.

Did not realize that selecting a track with unused paths wasted that track.  I guess it would be too complicated to mark a path as used vs. an entire song.  Much to learn...

@ Rodman Thanks for fixing the April Wine track. I used RSConvert_GUI to covert to the mac version, that action must have fixed up the file.

Great my fix worked - i am gonna update the opening post.

EVERYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH APRIL WINE - UPADTE TO MY FIXED VERSION

(i also post that as comment in the songs page)

 

Nonono 😉 Not too complicated, sir - this is done automatically even (when as one should using the Transfer Song to New Week tool) - see here

That weeks missing arrrangements are not there yet cause of your priviledge issues i am dealing with the next moments i find time!

Rock!!!

Rod.

Great week Bass scores

What a bass line this Is, going to look into more Rush Never heard anything other than spirit of the radio before which I just tried and Is also an awesome bassline

RS puts this as the easiest difficulty when I sort Rush songs damn! that's interesting

still enjoyed the song, i have some of the JTC ballad albums with the official gps i wanna do at some point and some of the JTC powertab books,  sadly they just transitioned this year to NO GPS on their store and instead its interactive, so we'll see if i ever buy a jtc book again.

First atempt , i picked up the bass 3 weeks ago and bought rocksmith, so i hope you all be kind to me!

 

i might try to best it somewhere this week!

Good to see more new players join @ mattimatti  & @ Esselte  both from the netherlands! Any chance you guys know eachother?

@ mattimatti  Make sure in the future to play score attack for the songs in your class. 
if theres a tie it goes to percentage -> streak -> score which is only possible in score attack mode.

We also only count full numbers in normal mode meanwhile the decimals are counted in sa. Technically since you had rocksniffer on i think we should count your decimals aswell, but as far as im aware of the ai isnt trained to pick that up yet? Anyways congrats on getting a high stat so quickly!

@ Esselte  Great job nailing a song so soon in your bass journey!! Here's hoping you keep at it /m/ !

ok i think i got the right song this time




very fun songs i hadnt heard from rush and lynard. Maybe one day eventually ill learn sweet home alabama.

will play this song again "one more time" later on  to see if i reach @ shotfirer  's  score grats!

forgot to post this one.
nice song, find the psarc a bit hard to eye sight just cause im not a fan of the arpeggio modes (prefer handshapes) and sustain tails.

Hello peoples of CustomsForge.  Been about a year, but I've fixed wiring and am back in the saddles.

 

 

Okay quick try on score attack, but no playthrough because score attack is too distracting for my adhd brain and I played it normally instead of fingerpicking so don't like the sound. 😄

Edit: Also, no, I do not know @ Esselte . Maar leuk om nog een nederlander te zien hier! 🙂
