Now the only one missing for the promotion will be you @Vodka ! we'll be waiting for you. But i understand if you want to chill and collect some wins before climbing up.

I will stay in Int forever. I will meet newcomers, guide them through and send them on to Adv gently...

I am manually putting in the scores while things get patched up to be compatible with the new website upgrade so we can have the scoreboard motivation! Let me know if you notice a score is missing.

I can't find my best attempt so far, so here is one that I found (hoping to get to 90% on this one...)

What! Get over here 😤🎸

@drand I've just played Rhythm path in this song, and as @cacahuate51 and @Vodka have already mentioned, it's definitely more difficult than Lead. In fact, Rhythm chart is more like Lead chart due to the solos. I would give Rhythm a 7 but I would consider whether it would be better to swap these paths (Lead path in Rhythm class and vice versa).

Beg and Int songs (I didn't notice before that there was another Lana song in Rhythm 😄)

@Mikson I agree a swap between Lead and Rhythm would be best, still hoping @Xyber responds and updates the chart!

Changes made to main post and scoreboard.

Thanks for all the effort keeping the week up and running!

I actually tried practicing the riff for The way you make me feel, but it's just way too fast for me. The difference between 90% and 100% speed in Riff Repeater is crazy.

Luckily, there's another five string song!

Thanks for trying out some of my favorite charts everyone 😁

This is real fun to play

And lead great song little on the easy side for a 4.5

Guitar results:

Almost 99% 😅

I liked the old behaviour of the forum of keeping in the same page instead of redirecting to the first page after posting... (but I like seeing the first topic on the top)

99% 🥳

Bass scores

You linked it within the underlined text if you can figure out how to get it out of there 😂

Very impressive score on the MJ song!! 🤘

99% 🥳

Hell yeah!! Nice one 🤘

The piano at the end does sound great @cacahuate51, soudtrack vibes.

Lead sounds beautiful, wish I could do it justice!

Starting to get the rhythm, I think it's more of a (6) really

Hard af 😵‍💫

The game didn't allow me to get high results as much as possible. Everytime everywhere it threw me a "miss". And even here it rewarded me with one miss 😠

Fun to play, Adornos are very accurate and good fret hand positioning.

@Cspllitz Welcome! Looks like this week is your first time posting and you are likely to win #1 spot in Advanced Bonus. You will be placed into Advanced Lead based on your score here unless you prefer a different class. Well done 👏

Sounds like you know the genre well, let me know if there are any charts you'd like to see featured in the Championship!

Oof..

This will be a fun couple of weeks

I need to relearn the solo before i play lead seriously on Seven.

And Bend the Clock i should be able to improve.
Might record a playthrough if I can get it working 🤔

Now I only have to avoid the strike on the first section...

Yikes, need to learn the new format I guess?

Nice job on that 99% on the LP @ALSRC! You got me looking at 5-string bass guitars now 😂 Impressive 90% on the alternate bass path for MJ, @Rodman do we count that?

Insane 99% on the Symphony X, @veggs95. A video would be sick 🤘

Hope you get it working @johnal , we are all struggling trying to figure out the new site 😵‍💫 Can only imagine what kind of carpentry is going on behind the scenes right now

Still struggling with multi-screenshots after that update

No, it must be the right path! But impressive!
