This was pretty tricky, would need much practice to get better at this (it has a few finger twisters for me).

This song made me realize my aversion to rhythm paths. I have difficulty interpreting the strum patterns with Rocksmith's UI, especially tight subdivisions. Just give me some sheet music hah. 

When I see people suggesting this is advanced path, and I'm still beginner ranked🤯 I been trying to dabble in intermediate songs. I just really like this song and couldn't help but dedicate some time to it. I flubbed some cord transitions and the solo. I'm also not entirely confident the end of the solo is charted correctly, but it's still a fun one. 

Thanks for hosting @ Hikikomori ! and welcome @ VegetaxGuts !

Depeche Mode, iconic. Good beginner song.

No Time by The Guess Who. This seems more int to me.

Great song that takes John Lennon's Imagine and trashes it. The 1972 version of Eminem's answer to RAP DEVIL by mgk with Killshot back in 2018. Dramaa

 

 

Improvement:

 

That is hard

That's hard

Monkey trash result

I would not add this results to score board. 

Really struggling with note detection on this one, despite playing it correct as far as i can tell.
Especially the clean section in the middle of the song will not cooperate, even if slowed down in riff repeater.

Bass

The Guess Who chart seemed a bit harder to me than Steely Dann, but it's very similar in difficulty and I'd give both a 6.

 

 

Long solo is impossible for me. The other "little" ones I can almost play with mistakes. But can.

A little better scores without better play.

That's it. I'm tired of this song. And it annoys me that some notes are not detected "out of the blue".

Of course I can continue to try it but even if I will get higher results but I think it won't be fair because of my "very technic" play.

OK - late but as all agree after testing - INT AND ADV LEAD IS SWAPPED:

 

Intermediate: Steely Dan - Only A Fool Would Say That (6) (E Standard) selected by jimmy655

Advanced: The Guess Who - No Time (6.5) (E Standard) selected by jellisjenius

@ avastreg  did it again!!!! Fixed the Leaderboard App (React) and gave us control to fix for future errors.

So - leaderboard is updating at the moment - we are live again.

Rock!!!

We agreed on this, but host of the week didn't react. So I don't think we should switch songs two days before end of the week. Now think about how @ Vodka  feels, who for a few days wasted his fingers on The Guess Who and now gets the madness of octaves in a Steely Dan song. This week could be a nightmare for him 😆

generally agreed so much! Late change - really unfair!!!! But our man @ Vodka is so much no pain no gain that i am not sure he will not even enjoy the suffering.

It´s up to him!

Rock!

Rod.

A bit easy for a 6, I think 🙂
A good chart, though, and a great song.
